The campaign was won on the slo
gan, “Don't vote for a knocker.”
One thing vo have noticed in si>cty
years of active life: A protective
tariff has never closed a factory, lost j
a man a job or put a mortgage on a,
farm. I
The only result of the LaFollette j
and Davis attempts to show up the
slush fund was to show that the re-1
publicans had a mighty small cam- i
paign fund.
Dan Sutherland went in with the
usual big majority, despite the at
tempts to defeat him. It’s hard to
keep a good man down.
The millennium is here: A news
paper man has at last been elected to
office in Alaska. Charles Wilcox of
the Valdez Miner won hands down on
the Democratic ticket. Mr. Wilcox
is an oldtimer in Alaska, arriving at
Valdez in 1898, and has a wide ac
quaintance in the Territory. His plat
form, “Lower Taxes,” apparently was .
a popular one.
You cannot have good office hold
ers unless they are good Americans.
The man who believes in the law and
the constitution is the bulwark of the
nation.
When a news story starts off with
“mistaken for a moose,” you know'
the rest except the identity of the
hunter and his victim.
JUDGE E. E RITCHIE
IS GOING OUTSIDE
Judge E. E. Ritchie will be an out
going passenger on the Yukon en
route to the States on a short vaca
tion trip. Judge Ritchie is reported
as being on the sick list, and it is
hoped the trip will be beneficial to
his health. Third division republi- J
cans are proud of the record the!
I
Judge has made during his term in
office, and will work to a man for
his reappointment.
EMPIRE PLACES BIG
ORDER FOR LINOTYPES
The Juneau Empire recently placed
an order for three Linotype typeset
ting machines, at a cost of about $20,
000. Two Model 14’s and one Model
Eight comprise the outfit, the larg
est order in Alaska. The I'/pire and
the Gateway probably have the best
composing room equipment in Alas
ka, the Gateway having a new Model
Eight and recently placing an order
for a Model 14, which was shipped
last week from San Francisco, on the
Ruth Alexander.

GAME WARDENS
IN ALASKA MAY
PUT UNDER C. S.
CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS
FOR GAME WARDENS TO
BE GIVEN DEC. 3.
(From Juneau Empire.)
That the Federal Game Warden
Service may be placed under Civil
Service rules and regulations was
indicated today by an announcement
made recently by E. P. Walker, Al
aska agent of the Biological Survey
io the effect that examinations for
wardens would be held in Alaska in
the near future. These are an
nounced for December 3, 1924 at Ju
neau. Ketchikan, Anchorage, Fair
banks and Nome.
In the past prior to June 30, last
ill*' warden service was under t!;e
Interior Department and wardens
we*, e appointed by the Governor of
Alaska. At the beginning of 5ho
preset t fi.xal year the service was
transferred to the Department oi Ag
riculture and placed in the Biological
ouiwy. Most of the oil wardens
were retained by this bureau.
It is hoped, Mr. Walker said, that
the examinations will result in men
especially fitted for the work be
coming available for appointments.
The salaries paid he added, were
sufficient to attract a high caliber
of citizens. The entrance salary
paid $2,100. Advancement in pay
may be made without change of as
signment up to $2,700 per year.
In filling vacancies in positions
in the field, certification will be made
of the highest eligibles examined in
the section of country in which the
appointee is to be employed as a
general rule, exceptions being made
only upon departmental request.
The duties consist of ^active field
work in assisting in the detection
and prosecution of violations of the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and in
vestigating illegal shipments of game
and violations of the Alaska Game
Law. Four subjects are included in
the tests—birds and mammals, Feder
al game laws, the Alaska Game Law,
and education and experience.
Applicants, it was stated, must have
reached their 25th year and not be
more than 40 years old. These age
limits, however, do not apply to per
sons entitled to preference because
of military or naval service, except
that persons entitled to such pref
erence must not have reached retire
ment age, which is 70 years. Appli
cation blanks are required by those
desiring to take these examinations.
They may be obtained from the Sec
retaries of the Civil Service Board of
Examiners in the five towns names.
