 PRECINCT
(By Associated Press)

NOME, April 12. - Point Barrow precinct, the largest voting precinct in the world, did not take part in the territorial delegate election last fall. according to information just re- ceiyed from U s. Commissioner Rich ardson, at that place.
 Richardson explained that the five voters there, including the illiterate wife of trader. decided that as they did not know anything about the qualifications of the candidates and had no interest at stake, they would not put the government to the expense of taking a vote
 The Point Barrow precinct includes all of Arctic Alaska. It extends from the Arctic ocean on the west to the boundary line of Canada, including about 100000 square miles.
 Point Barrow twenty years ago was the port of call every fall of scores of whalers, which spent from two to five years in the Arctic. Recently it has been visited only by an occasional trader or relief expedition going to look up some section of the Stefan son party. It has hopes, however. of future prosperity as the result of a worldwide demand for walrus hide.
