show an increase in volume Of con.
struction work over the month OF
July. according to statistics compiled
by the orga anization.
This may be attributed. in portion,
to he fact that operations In July
were on larger scale than In any
other month on record. The condi-
ton IL being viewed, however. as pos
sibly signifying that the closing
months of the year will see more than
the usual seasonal decline take place.
Figures for the first eight months
of the year show the volume OF opera
tions to be approximately per cent
greater than the total registered dur
ing the corresponding period OF the
record.breaking year Of 1928. Those
who feel that the second half OF 1925
will not see continuation Of the furi-
to the fact that June and July were
squirt months" which saw the vol

high above the unimpressive May
level.
Indications that September may
show recovery from he unseasonal
decline in August are found. how
ever. In a study Of the volume Of con
tracts awarded. An increase of 10 per

Of this year is slightly above that set

The fact that awards have been
made on this scale during recent
weeks naturally leads to the conclu.
sion that a large amount of new work
liz soon to be undertaken.
As regards building permits, the

 Would you amend the work mems compensation laws, and if so, what do you advocate?
 Would you support bill to exclude foreign fishermen from Alaskan waters as effectively as our fishermen are excluded from the waters of Oregon, Washington and California and by those states?
 Would you abolish fish traps?
 Would you support another large appropriation for fish hatcheries in view of the fail ure of the federal hatcheries at Afognak and Yes Bay and the private hatchery at Loring, and the absolute failure of ter ritorial hatcheries to bring back commercial fish, altho the management of hatcheries has been in the hands of it's friends for seven years?
 Would you decrease the tax on salmon and thus increase the tax on our resident mer- chants and business men?
 If you were the Mayor of Ketchikan and had control of its police, would you tolerate tn 20 or more houses of pros titution on the creek. right in the middle of town, each house containing from three to five women, all carrying on bus mess in plain violation of Law?

Sutherland's 4,354.

Sutherland's 4,354.
 In the general election of 1922 without any Indian votes, the votes would have been White 1,733; Sutherland 5,125; or if they had all voted for White, the vote would have been, White 2,733; Sutherland 5,125.
 In 1924, the comparative vote after deducting 1000 from Suth- e1land, the vote would have been Boyle 3,556; Sutherland 5,769. Or after adding 1000 to Boyle, the comparison is Boyle 4,556; Sutherland 5,769.
 These figures are all on the presumption that all Indian voters are illiterate and all voted for Sutherland. As to the matter of illiteracy, the federal census shows that there are over 2,5OO Indians in the First Division who can read and write. The Superintend- ent of the Chemawa Indian School, Oregon has stated that over 2,OOO Native Alaskans have passed thru that school. The Sheldon Jackson school at Sitka has passed hundreds more. The Bureau of Education main tains Y schools in this Divi- sion. Many Natives have at- tended the public schools.
 If you really are as candid or honest as you would lead your readers to suppose, you will have to explain these facts that l am presenting.
 As for mass voting, I will say that at least 9OR of the Natives of Alaska are voting for Sutherland, because he rep resents their idea about fishery legislation. The Natives of Alaska are opposed to fish traps and are standing with Sutherland because of that is- sue exactly as the people of Myers Chuck, Scow Bay, Craig and Wrangell (white commun- ities) are doing and for the same reason.

munity of fishermen. The total vote was A in the last pri- mary election. Of this number Sutherland got 43. How would you explain this fact except on this premise, that FISHER MEN ARE VOTING FOR THE SAME MAN. If the Indian vote solidly, that you say is illiteracy. But please explain the Myers Chuck vote?
 Or take the vote of Scow Bay. Of the 24 voters there, not one was an Indian, and EVERYONE voted for Suth, erland and Paul. Or perhaps you can show why the fisher men of Scow Bay and Myers Chuck are of the "destroyers' of Alaska while those of Fan shaw with their solid anti Sutherland voters are "develop- ers."
 Shall Alaska have for it's Delegate to Congress man of ability, * * >, anxious to main tain its good name, to develop it's resources, etc"
 Will you dare print the real story of Tom Marquam? or compare his private life with Sutherland's, and then ask the decent mothers of Alaska to vote for your candidate?
 Facts of Past Elections
 The vote for delegate in 1922 was as follows;
 Primary election Galen, 2,158; Sutherland 5,354;
 General election White 1,733; Sutherland 6,125.
 Vote for delegate in 1924 was as follows;
 Primary election Sutherland, only person who filed, and got 4,717 votes.
 Democrat Boyle nominated by democrats with 813 votes.
 General election, Boyle 3,556; Sutherland 6,769. Our enemies say that there are lone thou sand Indians who vote as MT. Paul dictates" The fact is that the Indian vote is only 800. But we will say, just to

GRADERS TO GET
GUNS IN BAY WAR
Maryland War Veterans to
Use Rapid-Fire Weapons
Against Virginians.
By the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE. July ga staff
correspondent Of the Baltimore sun
reports to his paper from Crisfield.
Nd. that arrangements have been
made by Maryland crabbers, who ex-
changed shots with the Virginia
fisheries patrol boat Marguerite last
week. to bring three rapid fire guns
to Smith Island. in Tangier Sound.
and mount them in Tvrefton.
The guns will be manned by vet
Grams of the World Wax. the. dispat ch
said. and the crabbers insist that
should the Virginia boat again fire
into Tylerton the shore battery will
reply.
Say Town Was Fired On..
Firing into Tylerton by the Mar
guerite, the correspondent. reports
crabbers as saying, was responsible
for the skirmish last week. The men
charge that while they were out In
their boats grabbing and only women
and children were in Tylerton the
Virginia boat opened fire on the town.
After the shots had been fired, the
crabbers say. they returned home. got
their guns and retired to the marshes.
When the Marguerite opened fire
second time. they declared, they began
shooting from the marshes and many
of their bullets hit the boat.
Boundary Near Doorstep.
The Maryland crabbers say the
boundary line between Maryland and
Virginia at Smith Island is only a
few hundred feet from the doors of
their homes.
They insist that they know the
exact location of the line since in
times past at least Smith Islanders
have been killed by Virginia patrol
crews.
The crabbers' chief complaint IL
that the Virginia boats open fire on
them while they are In transit across
Virginia waters. Remarking of the
line will be started next Monday. The
work will be done by H. r. Collins
photographic engineer of the Mary
land conservation commission, and
Fred e. Reudinger, Virginia engineer.

Declaring a "slur" has been cast
upon the medical profession of the

companies by making out false sick or
accident claims for a consideration of

man of the executive committee of
the District Medical Society, demand
ed TODAY that the names of the guilty
doctors be published.
Pledges Society to Act.
Writing to Mr.. Baldwin, DIR. Gan
non said: This is a serious charge,
and II you are quoted correctly the
names of the guilty physicians should
be published. I am sure that your,
intention Is not TO indict the whole
profession The Medical Society of
the District of Columbia is interested
and if any of it's 700 members is
guilty the society will take appropriate
action. Will YOU he kind enough to
remove the slur which has been cast
upon the local profession by explain
ing how many and what doctors you
accuse and allow the Medical Society
Of the District of Columbia to help
you avoid repetition of the fraud?
Due to the absence from the city to-
day OF Mr.. Baldwin, an answer to
the society's request could not be OBJ
tanned.
Names Insurance Companies.
Frank Bryan, jr., deputy superin-
tendent of insurance, revealed that
the insurance companies which COM
planned of the practice are the CONT
