sonally desires to return the power
If the ballot to the negro but re-
5ardless of the intentions Of Mr..
Parker the results are what count
and Mr.. Sanders is Of the opinion
if Mr.. Parker is elected that it will
mean the negro will soon have the
ballot restored to the blacks race. In
his speech at the Y M c. Saturday
night Mr.. Sanders stated that at the
National Progressive convention
that Theodore Roosevelt, with his
arms around two negroes, walked to
the edge of the platform and told
the delegates of the convention that
these negroes were just as good as
any OF the white delegates. Jno
NJ Parker was a delegate and in the
crowd and when Roosevelt made
the statement Mr.. Parker did not
object to it. Mr.. Sanders then
dwelt on the record of Theodore
Roosevelt with the negro. He called
attention to Mr.. Roosevelt, then
president of the United States, en-
tertaining Booker 7. Washington at
the White House and having him
at dinner with his family. He
further showed that Mr.. Roosevelt
had appointed negress postmaster
at Indianola, Miss, and the whites
became so indignant that they re-.
fused to have their mail sent there,
Mr.. Sanders neglected to add that
after protests had been filed and
every action taken to remove the
negress, that Roosevelt had the
office closed be. ore he would re-
move the negress. He cited other
instances of appointments and
works of Roosevelt to show that
Roosevelt was believer in eQua
rights of the negro in every respect
to the whites. The speech was one
of the best that has ever been de
]ivered in Washington Parish an(
did much for the cause OF De
mocracy.
In his. speech Elk Gov. Sander
stated that if the democrats of tn
state were split open that it woul'
result in one side trying to get tn
vote of the negroes. His argumen
was good and carried conviction
because it is known that there is n
law to keep a negro from voting to
day. He has right to pay his pc
tax, and register and only the powe
of the white race has kept hir
from participating in the election
+. Let the white vote split and tn
negro vote will be returned an
control the politics of the Paris
, and state. Suppose that thel
: were 1000 white voters in the Paris
: that they were apparently equal
e divided. There would be, say IL
I arguement, 100 negro votes in tt
: Parish. The way these 100 negro'
t would vote would decide the ele
i ton" said the Ex-Governor.

TWENTY-THIRD
 ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE ALASKA PACKERS AS SOCIATION SHOWS MANY
 INTERESTING POINTS

The twenty-third annual report of the Alaska Packers Association op- erating fourteen canneries in Alas ka, has just been received and shows many interesting points. The report follows:
 San Francisco, Jan. IS, 1916. To the Stockholders of the Alaska Packers Association:
 On behalf of the Board of Dir ectors of this corporation, 1 sub init the following report of the bus mess Of the Association for the year 1915.
 CAPITALIZATION-The capital ization of the Company remains the same, viz: $T,500.000 authorized capital, divided into 75.000 shares of the par value of S100 each. The present issue is 57,50S shares, leav ing 17.492 shares in the treasury of the Company.
 AUDITING-In accordance with the usual custom, all of the books, accounts and vouchers of the As sociation were examined, checked and audited by the auditor, Mir. W. w. Armgstrong.
 INSURANCE ACCOUNTS-The Association carries it's own insur- ance on buildings, wharves, machin- cry, equipments, furniture and on products in the course of manufac- ture and finished in its own plants also on all floating property and on cargoes of box shocks, lumber and coal. All up and down general car goes are insured at full values, and salmon and merchandise stored in wharehouses in San Francisco at about one-half their values.
 INSURANCE FUNDS-At the close of 1914, the fund showed a credit of S2,004,9 4,931.47 and earned S501 .497.S5 for 1915.
 The amounts charged for losses and expenses aggregate s119,199.74.
 Tn Insurance Fund now amounts to s2,3S7,229.5s; of this, s2,187, ,425 are invested in bonds.
 PACK--The Associations pack of salmon for the season was as fol- lo,r-c.
The daily progressive-miner., 1916-01-26
Total
l.O24 .O40 eases

Total ..... 1,024,040 cases
 Salt Salmon. 327 barrels
 MARKETS-During 1915 the gen. eral markets for canned salmon have been very irregular. The stupendous war has disarranged the trade, the transportation and the finances of the world. Lack of transportation facilities, almost pro- hibitive freight and exchange rates, together with the closing of the Panama Canal, have seriously in- terfered with the prompt and econ onlic distribution ofthe pack. Con- trary to general impression none of the governments of the warning na- tions have purchased canned salmon in large quantities. Only to Aus tralasia have the salmon shipments been made normally and in usual quantities.
 Almost before the results of the seasons operations were known, prices of the lower grades of sal mon became badly demoralized. Goods of these qualities were sold regardless of cost, number of sal mon concerns have been forced in- to liquidation and many others have lost heavily. Our company has not reduced it's opening prices, and as a result of having made early and large sea transportation arrange ments has been able to distribute considerable of it's output at satis- factory prices.
 The failure of the almon runs at several of our more important stations has reduced the 1915 pack
