If an election were to be called to- morrow in Seward, and our citizens could vote we believe the Presidential vote would be 100 per cent Harding. did not stuff the ballot box and make it 150 per cent.
 Governor Scott C. Bone will return to Seward within a few weeks, and be a guest of the town for several days. Seward has neglected our popular gov ernor in it's effort to see that the Presidential party had a good time; but his welcome will be all the more effective by being withheld until he returns.
 Secretaries Work and Hoover have greatly impressed our citizens with their keen knowledge of Alaskan af- fairs, and their trip will be productive of much good, if only to show our peo- pie that the government has not for gotten us; but on the contrary is working necessarily for our good.
 Gov. Bone informed the Gateway that the recent pension granted Pio- neers by the legislature would be op- erative in August. Many local Pio- neers were wondering what had be- come of the increase, hence the Gov ernor's information is timely.

Scientist Returns From Pacific

BIZ Cosmopolltan News seryice.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-In what
he describes as natures vast ex.
detrimental laboratory" on little ex.
plored islands of the lower Pacific,
RolIo H., Beck, explorer, found that
the bird life gave evidence Of sup.
plementing the Darwinian theory of
evolution. The story of his dis.
covery that isolation worked re.
markable changes in the size and
markings of birds of the same
species was brought back by Beck
together with about 5000 specimens
of rare birds, Of which thirty are
new to science.
Conditions Of climate and feed.
ing are alike in all of the islands
OF French Oceania," said Beck, who
for three years was the leader OF
the Whitney pathological expedi'
ton. "Yet in each group of islands
birds Of the same species differ 30
widely as to leave only the con
clusion that they have In their ma.
ture inherent tendencies to varia.
ton which do not require special
conditions for their development"
Four pigeons were exhibited by
beck TO prove his statement. One
from Raiatea had a lilac crown, one
from Henderson had cerise
crown, while two birds from
Marquesas had a white crown and
ruby crown respectively. The
amount OF orange on their breasts
ana the shade of green on their
backs differed greatly.

And despite all Of these conflicting

There came rumor, apparently

found in the little tin box
Its not true Houser said in de-

Houser was away from home most
OF yesterday, but he wouldn't tell
where he went to.
The anxious public will have to do
as Houser wishes:
Believe any of the lies you want. %
There may and probably will be
more statements coming from
Houser. But Hagerstown's only
going to believe one-that Houser
found a lot Of money. They believe
