KETCHIKAN EDITOR
 DESERTS DELEGATE
 SUTHERLAND'S CAMP

The editor of the Ketchikan News J. E. Rivard. former Progressive and supporter of Judge Wickersham ir many campaigns and strenuous sup porter of Dan Sutherland in the last campaign, announced in the Wednesday issue of his paper that he won't support Sutherland. He, says MT. Sutherlands former supporters have deserted him.
 MT. Rivard on the other hand, says he cannot support either of the other two candidates for the Republican nomination so will vote for himself at the primary election next Tuesday
 His comment on Delegate Suther- land, the only candidate mentioned by name, in the editorial announce ment, follows:
 We voted for Sutherland before This is no boost but a confession We admired him because we believed he had backbone that his constitu- ents could use as a prop if the ne cessity ever presented itself. Later, and despite our effort to use our prop, he pulled a drawbar and was gone. So, finding ourselves alone while Dan wandered elsewhere, we gave up. And while Dan may be a great man and all that, by heck, he isn't brighter than most of his for mer supporters who depended on him for help and who have since deserted him with the exception of a few post masters. So, Dan, we have wor- shipped a long time-comparative so-at your shrine but today we have taken up our prayer rug and meditate."

Alaska is over the hump and will experience at least a reasonable re- turn of prosperity" is the c0nclu- sion drawn by Col. J. c. Gotwals.

 Summing up his observances, Col onel Gotwals said that the Northeast and East are both badly depressed, more so than is generally realized The Gulf Coast sections and Southern California are prosperous. The de- pression in the East is reflected in the idle capital piling up in finan- cial centers Billions of dollars. he said. are accumulated awaiting in vestment. Eventually some of it will be diverted to Alaska when some striking development, such as bring ing in a producing oil well, focuses the attention of capitalists on the opportunities for investment in the Territory. Stagnation in industrial circles on Puget Sound and in Se- attle, he said, is bringing both men and money to Alaska.
 Ready to Launch Work
 The Alaska Road Commission is in better shape to start it's seasons program of construction than ever before at this time of the year, said Colonel Gotwals Its finances are so arranged as to give little concern. Colonel Steese plans to leave Seattle on April 28 and detailed program for the season will be announced upon his arrival.

In Washington he was drafted to serve on board inspecting the various theaters following the Knickerbocker disaster The board ordered several theaters closed down and "T left town the next day" admitted the Col onel On return from the East he came by sea part of the way and off he coast of Florida, he got close up of the famous bootlegging fleet. He stopped at Palm Beach a short time and later jumped to Houston. Texas From there he came to Los Angeles, which he describes as the most prosperous town in the West.

CROP PROSPECTS

The July report of the federal
department of agriculture estimates
the wheat crop at 817,000,000
bushels, 5e9,000,00 winter grain,
and 248,0O0,O0O spring wheat, with
condition registered at 78.9,
which is virtually perfect. This is
the final advance report, and the
figures given will not be revised
until the actual yield has been de-
termined by harvest returns. If
this estimate is sustained by the
actual marketable production the
seasons crop will not be materially
different from that of 1921. June
conditions decreased the wheat crop
an estimated 100000 bushels.
The corn crop shows a substantial
change from last years output, with
an estimate of 100000 bushels,
which is 22O,O00,0 900 bushels less
than the 1921 harvest, but 29,-
900, 900 bushels more than the five
year average. The slightly larger
acreage holds out good prospects
for a heavy potato yield, the out
put of white potatoes indicating
429, 100000 and of sweets Ill ,000,-
900 bushels. While none of the
main crops are of record-making
proportions none have been even
partial failures, the relatively light
production coming as the conse-
quence of an acreage somewhat
smaller than during the war years.
