 Dr. E. Lester Jones, deputy commis. sioner of fisheries, who is making a tour of the Alaska coast, takes a some. what different view of the trap ques- ton than is general in Alaska, and ad- vances in support of his theory argu- ments that are difficult to ombat, says the Cordova Times. He favors the use of traps for catching salmon rather than seines, stating that far more loss is occasioned by that method than by the former In the case of trap fishing be says, the flsh are taken alive from the traps when wanted and rushed at once to the canneries, while with seine fishing many of the salmon are dead when taken from the water and spoil before they reach the cannery. Thus, of the two methods of fishing he advo- cates the trap, unless the seining grounds are in close proximity to the cannery, and the fish can be used be- fore they have an opportunity to spoil.

VOTE FOR
DEMOCRATS Who
RUN FOR BOARD
With Exception of Pacheco,
Democrats Seem to Have
Little Strength

Although official figures on the re-
cent primary election are not yet
available, owing to the delay in get
ting the returns from one precinct,
the unofficial figures as now made
out have determined the various no
minees beyond question.
A glance at the figures OF nominees
for municipal Office shows some IN
teresting things. VIM. AHA leads all
candidates for supervisor, heading the
Republican ticket with 2519 votes.
Robert HGsner is the lowest OF the
seven nominees, getting 1874 votes.
Manuel G. Pacheco, member of the
present board and Democratic lead
er. ran far ahead of the Democratic
ticket. Not only did he receive the
nomination by larger vote than was
given to Joe Fern for mayor, but ne
Is second among all the superVisorlai
candidates, Republican or ,DemocIa-
tic, and this although the Democrauc
candidates for the board generally
polIed a light vote. Pacheco's ngure
Il PASS and the next highest Demo
cratic nominee for the board Is 4. H.
Wolter with 206S votes
Another thing that shows how hgn'
the democratic vote is this year gen
orally is that there were only Two
thirds as many Democratic candl'
dates for supervisor as there WEI
Renublicans. The Republican vote
was split among Is candidates anu
the democratic vote among IL and yet
the Democratic nominees with Dut ~
tie exception ran behind the hepuo
lican nominees in the nuhlDel
votes given them. 60,
Iobn Lane has a larger vote Ioi

from the early returns. He got 1907
votes and he had three fighting rNals
for the nomination, all of whom pom

There is a section Of the united

Before Miss Alice Fryer became
Mrs. John Chaplin Poole and departed
for Australia on her honeymoon, she
was stenographer to Postmaster
Young and, at the same time, his con-
fidential secretary. Then, when she
rendered her resignation to the post
master on the eve of her marriage,
Mr.. Young decided that something
would have to be done to secure the
reinstatement of his efficient aide.
So the postmaster hastily forward
ed communication to the first as
sistant postmaster general. stating
emphatically that he "would have to
have that stenographer back. Inc
reply came this morning. 1t read:
with further reference to your let
ter of the 3rd ultimo, relative to the
marriage of your stenographer, MISS
Alice Fryer, you are Informed that
the acknowledgement has waived
the provisions of Section l57 OF the
postal laws and regulations to permit
her reappointment."
At the time she resigned, MIS-
! Poole expressed sincere regret at nav
ing to leave the position, saying that
nothing would suit her better than
to be allowed to remain. Mr.. Young
went right to work and, as he got mis-
additional clerks and carriers an0
postal sub-stations, he has gotten his
, stenographer back.
Mr.. and Mrs. Poole still are In Aus
