The trouble was caused when some one

 Recommendations
 The Governor makes the follow ing recommendations
 "That the surplus revenue from the Pribilof Islands be covered an- nually into the Alaska fund as pro- vided in bill passed by the Senate in the first session of the Sixty eighth Congress.
 "That the sum of $15O,OOO here tofore authorized for a capitol or administrative building at Juneau be made available in order to provide safe and proper quarters for the transaction of Federal and Territor- ial business and protect official rec ords, and save the heavy rentals of scattered quarters, the old structure on government ground now serving as Governors offices having been condemned as unfit for further re- pairs or occupancy.
 "That the Federal Highway Act be extended to Alaska with such notifications as to classification of roads in the Territory as to make the act workable therein.
 "That Congress enact a law grant ing to each Alaskan who served in the World war 16O acres of land in Alaska, which would not cover one-half of one per cent of the un- occupied public land subject to home stead entry, and that no requirement of settlement, cultivation, labor or Improvements be imposed on the grantee.
 "That anually hereafter all ap- populations required for Alaska, re- gardless of the departments or agen> cies under which they are to be eX- pended, be combined and consolidated in an Alaska Budget, to be submit ted to Congress through the Federal Bureau of the Budget, thus present. ing Alaskan requirements under one heading and obviating the necessity of appropriations by piecemeal through various departmental bud gets. It is believed that such pro- cedure will be conducive to better understanding of the Territory's needs and simplify and facilitate the work of Congress and it's com mittees.
 'That continued adequate provis- ion be made for the upkeep and operation of The Alaska Railroad which in it's initial stages is demon strating it's benefit in opening up the interior, and for the carrying for ward without Interruption of the comprehensive plan of road and trail building in cooperation with the Territory

 Illegal Votes
 Anyone who has read the litera- ture of the Democratic party during the past campaign would think the supporters of that party were as pure and law-abiding as a new born babe. For their information we print one or two exceptions to these Simon pure Democrats. Notable among these is J. R. Heckman, who brought four Filipinos to Ketchikan Precinct Number one and voted them. He brought a second batch but was stopped by Forrest J. Hunt This second bunch of Filipinos were about to vote, and the judges, all strong partisans of the Democratic candidates, were going to let them vote for they knew that whatever J. R. Heckman brought was safe but on challenge the Filipinos did not vote. The same J. R. Heckman brought two residents from Stewart, British Columbia, and he voted them. These people on the first visit of MT. Heckman, who was acting as Democratic Campaign Manager, re- fused to vote because they had not been in this Precinct one month, but

 this remote region have failed of realization.
 The Official Roster
 The government of Alaska, Federal and Territorial, gives employment to 2.227 persons, or approximately one ninth of the white population. This includes all officials the employees of The Alaska Railroad, approXi- mately 1000 in number, and the rosters of the bureaus. Of the ag- gregate the Territorial government, conducted with the utmost simplicity and economy, numbers only 259. Over nine-tenths of those on the combined official payrolls are bonafide Alas kans, long identified with the Terri tory and interested in it's up-building. Administration is necessarily eX- pensive because of distances and the great area covered. Closer CO., operation between the various bu- reaus charged with duties in the Territory is attained year after year and gradually the administration of affairs is being centralized in Alaska.
 Exports and Imports
 During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1924, total shipments of mer- chandise to the United States crease over the preceding fiscal year of S836, ,964.OO.
 The value of gold and silver shipped during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1924, amounted to S6,1S3,- 241.OO or a decrease of S1,313 336.0O. making a net total decrease in ship ments of all products of S476 372.OO. The increase in merchandise ship ments is represented primarily in the canned salmon industry. Other minor industries such as frozen fish, shell fish, fish oil, fu1s, marble, etc., re- mained about the same as the pre- ceding fiscal year.
 The value of canned salmon ship. ped from the Territory during the past fiscal year, $31 ,173, ,975.0O, is greater than all other products of Alaska put together, inlcuding gold and silver. The value of fish and fish products together, $36 S52 ,O75.00 constituted over 61 per cent of the shipments from the Territory.
 Total imports into Alaska from the United States for the II months ended May ol, 1SZ4, amounted to $28, ,125, ,128.OO, an increase over the corresponding period ending May 31, 1923, of S4,O34,565.
 The Alaska Railroad
 The Governor expressed renewel confidence in the ultimate success of The Alaska Railroad which has already demonstrated great useful ness in opening up the interior of Alaska. It's operating revenues for the fiscal year were $9O7,173.88, as compared with $758,O31.38 for the preceding fiscal year, denoting an increase If S149, ,142.50.

|Airship Stock Sold Here in 1865
Ferdinand Herff Has Shares Purchased by Father
From An Inventor.

That visions OF the navigation Of
the airways which radiate from San
Antonio began to take tangible form
as early as 1865. is known by shares
of stock in an air ship company sold
that year by h. BrodbecIl. inventor, to
the late DR.. T. Herff. These shares,
in an excellent state of preservation,
are now in the possession of his son,
Ferdinand Herff, chairman of thu
board Of directors of the San Antonio
National Bank.
As revealed by the four quarter
shares of stock that DR.. Herff pur-
chased from Brodbeck, the inventor
agreed to pay the purchaser $1.2j
for each share and his proportionate
zshare of the proceeds of the sale of
theh patent rights six months after
the sale of a U. s. patent right for
an airship invented by me-"
An alternative proposal contained 10
the stock certificates stated that the
inventor would reply the purchase
price of SIPS and make a yearly
payment of his share of one-fourth Of
the profits accrued by the sale of such
airships," to the holder of the stock.
The four shares bought by DR..
Herff are numbered 26. ~, % and
20. They are dated "San Antonio, T.,
June 9th, 1866"
There is nothing in the shares of

Does NOT ANSWER QUESTION
His Best Argument Is What San An
tonic and Valley Opposes Most.

II have read the statement of Mr..
J. s. Pyeatt, president of the Gulf
Coast, Lines, with reference to how,
in his opinion, the proposed merger
of the I.-G. n. into his system would
benefit San Antonio and the Rio
Grand Valley" said Colonel Claude
V. Birkhead, former president of the
San Antonio Chamber of Commerce,
Saturday morning. Mr.. Birkhead has
been retained by the executive COM
mittee to oppose the merger before the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
His argument that the merging
Of these two roads will result in one
strong organization with more power
and facilities to serve the. territory,
is the identical thing which has
aroused the people Of San Antonio
and the valley to oppose the merger,
for both commynities well know the
penalties which they have already
paid by reason OF the Gulf Coast
Lines discriminating policies.
MIR. Pyeatt's statement does not
address itself to the issue based On
his own frank confession. made before
the Chamber of Commerce and II
OtllcI NlFlC OEEOhlLutiohS VII -Aei' ~
18th. to-wit: That it would be the
policy of the Gulf Coast Lines to con-
tend for the long haul and TO exert
the combined influence of both roads
10 prevent the construction of another
railroad into the Rio Grande Valley.
The issue, therefore. resolves itself
into a question of policy. Mr.. Pyeatt
has already indicated his policy IN
advance Of the merger. If the me-
ger is permitted, the people Of San
Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley
are already on notice as to the penal
ties which they will pay. If it is
defeated, then the I.-G. n. will be
rescued from the position of being
a mere chattel or pawn in the hands
Of railroad company whose admitted
policy for the last ten years has been
to divert the business away from San
Antonio in order that it may enjoy
the increased revenues which the long
e. haul to Houston aud New Orleans
affords.
