Trout or weakfiSh are in abund-
ance and with a little patience and
study can be boated with regular
ity. The best results will be noted
on the change of tide when the
sporty family heed the call of the
inner man. Like their migratory
running mates, the blues, they are
very fond of bIoodworms, but show
preference for cut fish. They are
also of the top-feeder class and
will at times take kindly to artificial
lures.
Hardheads, of medium size, with
an occasional big one for good luck,
continue to be taken. And if past
performances can be counted upon,
the coming fall run should prove
most interesting to the angling
fraternity. Bloodworms and shrimp
are always considered the choice
bats for this excellent food fish.
Pan-siZed rock are a scattered
family at this season. of the year
and good catches cannot be looked
for until a later date when the
scrappy fish begin to school prior
to their moving out 70 sea. Blood
worms are their favored food.
Now regarding the monster
stripers, such as haunt the waters
of the Chesapeake during the fall
seasons the writer would like to
say, for the benefit of those who
follow i'm the wake of the sea
gullS, that as yet no angler has
been fortunate enough to hook
into one of these giant striped
bass. But, the season is young
and the big fish are sure to
come.
Bassing in the upper tideless
Potomac, as well as the Shenan-
doah, during the week has
furnished anglers the finest kind
of sport and in few Instances bag
limits have been taken. The water,
while not being in high-class shape,
nevertheless looks good to the small
mouthed bass angler after a siege
of watchful waiting.
The creeks of the lower Potomac
are in excellent shape for both still
and active anglers and big-mouthed
gamesters are as Plentiful as in
years gone by. OF course, they
may not put up a fight equal to
their brothers of the tideless waters,
but if angled for on light tackle
some real thrills can be had.
Sidney Atlas has been paying his
respects to Gunston Cove of late
and claims for that historic body
the finest bass grounds or the PO-
tOmac. On last Monday he lured
from it's waters, via the artificial
bait route. nine gamesters well over

Goslin, as an all-around player,
is a bit superior to Clyde Barnhart,
alias '.Pooch," who plays left field
for the Pirates. The Pirate is a
fine player, no doubt of that, hut
Goslin outranks him in hitting
and also in fielding AMI is much
faster. There are few other ave-
nues of comparison.
Goose is hitting the bail at .346
speed this season, and his III safe
drives include some thirty doubles,
eighteen triples and thirteen home
runs. He is the leading three-base
artist of his league. Those hits
total 2S2 bases, and in addition he
has pilfered twenty-four bases. The
Goose is an egotist of no small
proportions, and that is one essen
tial OF. a star baseball player.
While GOSIin has an edge on
him, Barnhart nevertheless is a
splendid OutfieIder. He is batting
1928, and has driven in a lot of
runs for the Pirates. In 122
games, POOch has made 153 hits,
and lacks only two of equalling
GOsIin's twO-base total. But in
tribes and hOmerS, he is far be-

haps the difference may be at

the paths.
From the figures one is able to
guess that Goslin is a better ground
coyerer than Barnhart.5 Goose has
pulled down 307 flies against 253 for
Barnhart, and has tossed in twenty
assists which is twice the number
made by the Pirate star. Goslin is
a colorful player that goes over big
with crowds, and likely to be at his
best in the coming series.
Joe Harris, also rated as a first
baseman. is Goslin's understudy in
left field. Harris is not fast, but
he is a good judge of fly balls, and
has a strong arm. He is a fine
hitter, and the sort of man TO

THE JOKE LAW

We have long been of the opinion that no honest Democrat ever came to Alaska. In conversing with very dear friend we made this remark, and he fared up and said: "How do you make that out" We replied that the honest Democrats who leave the United States and come to Alas ka, as soon as they become aware of conditions here as to the leader ship of the Democratic party, for instance, John w. Troy, Tom Dono- hoe, and others, promptly join the Republican party, or else keep their party allegiance secret. On this ac- count when it came time to file for the preferential choice of Governor of Alaska, the Democrats had no one to offer who could have mustered a corporal's guard of the decent cit izens in this Territory. And be- cause no Democrat filed, the Troy Pegues machine tried to make cit1- zens believe that the preferential vote for Governor law was a joke.
 Let us see if it is. The Demo- crats supported Frank Boyle for Delegate to Congress, and through out the Territory he got 3,556 votes. Would any one argue that these votes were joke? However, 5,468 citizens of Alaska voted that they preferred the Honorable Cash Cole to be the next Governor of AlaskS in preference to any one else. Would any one dare say to this group of citizens that this expression of their desires through the elective franchise was a joke? The entire vote in Alaska was 10,791, so that if every person who did not vote for MT. Cole had voted against him he would still have a majority of 145 votes. We will list below the votes of the citi- zens for different offices beginning with the person who received the greatest number of votes:
 Hon. Dan Sutherland (Republi-
 can) received ...,.....~.~.. 6,769 John Rustgard Republican, for
 Attorrey General . 5,727 Cash Cole (Republican) for Gov
 ernOr o,46S Henry Roden Gndependent) for
 Attorney General ..... 3,916 Frank Boyle (Democrat) for
 Delegate 3,556
 The Democrat running against Dan Sutherland was an "also ran" and perhaps the joke as we'll.

To the Editor of Alaska Fisherman. Dear Sir:
 Mrs. Grosvold and myself are on our way outside for medical treat ment. We were in hopes that the s. s. Redwood would have hit your town in the day time so I could have called on you in person, but unfortunately she got here at a. m
 Among other matters I wanted to see you about is this. I notice in your valuable paper where one of our legislators, I forgot his name, is taking up the bounty on eagles. Now, if he has the welfare of Alaska at heart and one of the leading industries, namely fox farming, he will do his utmost to get the bounty on eagles raised to from $2.5O to $500, as at the present small bounty of $1.O0 there is no one outside the fox farmers that cares to go after this enemy of our valuable fur ami mals. For general information I wish to say that in size there is no comparison between the eagles in Southeastern Alaska and those to the westward, which are much larger bird and probably very few give it thought that all the Aleu- tlan Islands from Kodiak and right out to Attue are barren of any wood, therefore there is no shelter what ever. This spring I have counted Tn several places out on my islands as high as 30 eagles within a stretch of 800 yards, sitting on high, unac- cessible bluffs. So what show have the poor foxes to go out and hunt for food at low water and then get back to their young when there is no shelter. l can get dozens to tes- t'fy that they have seen eagles pick ing up full grown fox, so what show do the young ones stand?
 Another great enemy of our fur bearers is the raven. I have found them getting away with the young, and the large hawks and owls can be included as enemies, so you will do our western fox farmers a great benefit to keep the bounty up and the Territory will benefit by having the bounty raised, so as to get away with them in a short time, in stead of this small bounty which will keep them on the increase.
 Yours respectfully,
 ANDREW GROSVOLD. Sand Point, Alaska.
