INTEREST REVIVED IN
 NOME-KOTZEBUE SHIP
 SUBSIDY; MAY BE USED

The decision of the regular trans freighters this year further north than Teller has created new interest in the Territorial shipping subsidy offered on the route between Nome and Kotzebue and efforts to pur- chase a vessel and put it on the run are now being made accord ing to advices received by Gov. Scott c. Bone. Unless this is done, it was stated, all tfe fall and win ter freight shipments for north of Teller will be greatly retarded and made more expensive.
 To meet the situation, Loman Hros., well knowi Nome business men and promoters of the reindeer industry, are negotiating for the purchase of the trading boat, Silver Wave. Inquiries were made of the Governor about the subsidy. Gov. Bon said proportionate part of the s5,000 grant for this season would be allowed to the Silver Wave for operating during September and October if it were put on the run.
 In adition to the NomeKotzebue subsidy, a Territorial grant on the Nome-St. Michael run is also avail able. It was recently proposed to put the Donaldson. a former U. S. Army boat at Valdez, on this route The Donaldson is now enroute tC Wiangell Island with a relief ex petition to look for members of thu Stefansson crew left there seyera years ago and is due back at Nom' early in September.

DEMOCRATS ARE ASKED TO MEET
 IN CONVENTION
Local Party Men Adopt Res olution Calling for Meet
 ing Here This Fall.

A preliminary move toward mak- ing an active campaign in the 1924 elections was taken by local Demo- crats, meeting in the offices of Hellenthal & Hellenthal last night, in the adoption unanimously or a resolution asking the Territorial Central Committee to call a con vention, if possible in Juneau, some time next November. The meeting was well attended by representative local Democrats.
 ". w. Casey. Chairman Of the party's Divisional Committee, pre- sided over the meeting, which. in addition to calling for party con- vention for the Territory, instructed Secretary H. r. Morton to notify Democratic organizations in the sev- eral communities in this Division of the local action and suggest that they take similar action.
 Prospects for Democratic victory in the national elections next year are very bright, declared National Committeeman T. J. Donohoe, Of 1OlQONd, III itilcI tO hlt os'ONs y which was read last night. Tt ap- pears to me that the Democrats have a splendid chance to win in 1924 and I think it well worth while to get our organization In shape so we will be in position to put up a solid front" was the way MT. Donohoe phraaed if. This view point was largely reflected in the opinions of those at last nights meeting who were not only encour- aged over the national outlook but also over the prospects for the partys success in Alaska elections next year.
 The idea in mind for a Territorial convention, 1t was explained, is to have representatives from every part Of the Territory agree on the best possible candidates for Delegate to Congress and to make the race for Attorney General and make it pcs sible for such candidates to enter the April primary election with the united support of the party in every Division.
 IL was also suggested that Divi- sional conventions be held 10 select strong candidates for legislative tic lets to enter the primaries in each Division, and it is believed this will be adopted if the proposed Terri torial convention is held.

COSTELLO SPURNS RACE
WITH HOOVER At DULUTH

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. April IL
Paul Costello Of this city has an
nounced that he definitely had de-
cided not to row Walter n. Hoover
for the Philadelphia gold challenge
cup, emblematic of the world single
sculIing championship, on the Lake
Superior course at Duluth.
Unless Hoover agrees to row in this
city or on a neutral course, Costello
declared that the race was off. He
also advised the committee, which
recently upheld Hoover's contention
that as he was the holder Of the
trophy he had the right to name
the course, and chose Duluth:
Costello, who was the only chal-
lsnger, declared that Hoover was ae-
customed to rowing in the rough
waters of Lake Superior, and that
this would give the westerner an ad-
vantage. He'said he would be willing
to meet the champion either here or
on a neutral course.
