ELECTION STATISTICS NOVEMBER. 1924. FIRST DIVISION
 ALASKA

The total vote cast was 493I.
 Of that number about 900 were cast by Indians.
 The scrutiny of the Canvas sing Board showed that of the total vote cast in the First Division but 93 signed the registration book "by mark" indicating that the voters did not write.
 The Board made the exani- nation at the request of Geo. B. Grigsby and S. Hellenthal. counsel for J ]. Corners and other candidates.
 These "illiterate" votes were cast in nine out of 50 pre- cincts in the First Division, and five of these precincts are not recognized as Indian pre-. cincts, viz: Wrangell, Skagway, Haines, Revilla and Craig. Three were: Klawock, Chilkat, Hydaburg, designated as Ind ian, with Killisnoo having about equal number of whites and Indians.
 Six precincts that are regar- ded as practically "Indian," with the votes polled in Nov- ember, 1924, and in which EVERY VOTER signed the registery list in his own name, recorded the following vote: Hoonah 1O7; Rake 1O8; Metlak- at1a 57; Yakutat SO; Kasaan

 gard to make a. serious polit- ical mistake later on when he appeared on the floor of the House and fought the bill to tax nonresident fishermen in troduced by Paul. At least that was the motive with which people charged MT. Rustgard was moved. Up to that time, it was supposed that MT. Rust gard was a supporter of that kind of an act. J R. Heckman, who was also fighting the non resident f1shermen's tax bill, was seen in frequent conference with Rustgard after this. This fight against the nonresident fshernen's tax bill which Rust gard made however will unfor- tunately rise up to haunt him for MT. Rustgard has long been favorably known as friend of the poor resident fisherman. These fishermen will always wonder why Rustgard fought a bill which ought to protect them by keeping out non-res- ident fishermen on the same principle that the states of Washington and Oregon do.
 We have wondered what MT. Rustgard's real reason was, but without entire satisfaction. Perhaps he will tell some day.
 House Bill No. 26
 This was a deficiency appro- priation bill for schools, pro- posed by the Ways and Means Committee. It passed unan- imously.
 House Bill No. 27
 This act introduced by J. J. Elliott of Nome was for an act to punish larceny of fixtures or parts of realty. While i: passed the House, it was lost in the Senate by 9 tie vote.

FRENCH WAR DEBT
is AGREED UPON
Terms Provide 100000, 900
More Than Offer Made
BY Caillaux.

Washington-Agree for set
Element of the $4,025, 100000 French
war debt was reached by the Amer
fcan debt commission and Ambassa-
dor Berenger Frances latest offer
for a total payment Of $6,S47.674,00O
over a 62-year period was received by
the commission and after an hours
consideration it was laid before Pre-
sident Coolidge, who gave it his ap-
proval. The offer exceeded by more
than $500, 100000 the best proposal Of
the unsuccessful Caillaux mission of
last summer and its acceptance ended
more than eight months of almost
constant bargaining between repre-
sentatives of the two countries. The
settlement not only concluded nego-
tiations with Americas second largest
war debtor, but substantially COM
pleted the commissions work of
funding the S1O,102, 100000 foreign
world war debt of this nation. Only
S295, 100000 of this amount remains
unfunded, if this agreement is rati-
fed.

CONGRESS Takes Up Farm Aid Bill

Washington-A concerted drive for
enactment of real farm relief legisla-
tion before adjournment was launched
in congress. House leaders laid plans
for consideration of such legislation
next week, and at the same time a
group of senators from western states
agreed unanimously at luncheon con-
ference to oppose adjournment vigor-
ously until an adequate agricultural
aid measure is passed. After con-
ference with President Coolidge at
the White House, Representative Til
son, the Republican floor leader, an
nounced that the three bills reported
by the agriculture committee, would
be taken up in the house soon. Four
days will be allowed for general
debate, with possibly one or two
night sessions, so that there will be
full opportunity for the membership
to express it's views on the administra-
tion corn belt relief and Curtiss-As-
well measures.

GENERAL STRIKE
TIES up BRITAIN
100000 Idle As Industry Hats;
Government Emergency
Rule Working.

London-Virtually all forms Of In
dustry were at standstill in the first
general strike in the history of the
British Isles, and labor's attempt to
tie all the industrial life of Great Bri-
tain has been mainly successful since
the inception of the general strike.
Workers under the jurisdiction of the
Trades Union Congress quit their la
bors in struggle to enforce the coal
miners demands against lower wages
and increased hours. The number af-
fected by the strike is estimated at
100000. The governments emer-
gency services for supplying the neces-
stiles of the population are working,
and volunteers are running a few
trains, trans and buses, but beyond
throughout the country.
The only reliable way of getting out
of England today is by air. The rail-
road terminals for continental traffic,
such as Victoria station, were empty,
with police guarding the entrance
gates and many desolate little groups
seated near them on their baggage
marked for continental destinations.
With the publication Of the London
newspapers at a standstill and the
same conditions obtaining in the pro-
vinces, people are dependent on radio
for news. The theaters are beginning
to close and the main places Of enter
tainment are the saloons.
Money Loss Heavy.
Banks, stores and offices managed
to keep going but with difficulty,
owing to the lack of transportation
for employees. Hundreds of thou
sands got to work the best way they
could. American tourists fed the
country almost en- bloc for Paris.
Crowds of Britishers are rushing to
the continent while it is possible to
get transportation. The monetary
loss. to the country already is enorm-
Gus. During the partial tieup of 1921
it was estimated the country lost be-
tween 100000 and 100000 pounds
a day. Some think the present loss
may double this figure.

Udine and Trieste. Recently, it is al

Why Toroid Coll Is Favored.

The gist of Mr.. Rhodes explanation
why the toroid type Of coil is recon-
mended for use where ordinary coils
will cause broad tuning by their pick
DIP qualities, is as follows: Toroid
coils will, as is the case with other
coils, have induced In their turns cur
rents which ordinarily would nullify
the selective qualities of a receiver.
However, the voltages induced in op-
posite halves of the coil, oppose each
other, and the resultant effective pick
up voltage Is zero. This nullifying
feature is apparent in several other
types Of coils, but is probably more
so in the toroid. The article in Radio
Broadcast continues as follows:
"There is a second type of interfer-
ing signal that causes considerable
trouble, and against this type the two
cures so far described are useless. If
the signals being induced in the an
tenna are sufficiently strong, it is pos
sible that a receiver may not have
selectivity sharp enough to eliminate
them completely, although its selec-
tivity under ordinary conditions may
be perfectly satisfactory. For instance,
the receiver might be operated at a
location quite close to powerful
broadcasting station so that the signal
strength from this station in compar-
ison with the strength of the signals
that it is desired to receive from other
stations is so great as to produce con-
siderable interference, even though the
receiver is considerably detuned from
the interfering signal. 1t is apparent
then, that in some way, this powerful

Due to the widespread increase in
power of many of our broadcasting
stations, the need for some sort of ap-
paratus capable of cutting out strong
ly interfering stations, is becoming felt
more and more There is not much
fun In sitting through the program of
one particular station night after
night, especially when a better pro-
gram is being offered by some other
station which is drowned out by the
nearer or more powerful transmitter.
Interfering signals" writes Howard
10. Rhodes in the Radio Broadcast
magazine, sometimes are caused by
direct pickup by the coils of the set
so that its natural selectivity is of no
avail in eliminating them. This oc-
ours when the set is being operated
In proximity to broadcasting station,
with the result that the field strength
in the vicinity is great enough to in
coils of the receiver. Under these
conditions 1t will be found possible to
hear the program with the antenna
disconnected
"The only practical methods to be
used in eliminating this type of inter-
ference are either shielding of the re-
ceiver or using some form Of closed
field coil, such as toroid. If the set
is to be shielded, it is necessary to
line the entire inside of the cabinet,
including the cover and the panel, with
thin copper. Any joints in the copper
sheet are soldered together and con-
nection is finally made between the
shield and the minus A terminal
which, In this instance, is connected
to ground This puts the entire shield
at ground potential, thereby excluding
from the coils any external electrical
fields. 1t should also be pointed out
that this shielding will also eliminate
any interference caused by power
lines, motors, etc., provided they are
causing trouble by setting up currents
directly in the coils. However, If the
interference is reaching the set by way
of the antenna system, shielding will
be no aid. The use of toroid coils is
coming into very common use in in
stances where there is need of an in
ductor that is unaffected by external
fields"

DRIVING REINDEER SOUTH.
WARD

There are thousands Of acres Of
ideal land for the browsing reindeer
near to facilities for shipment out of
Alaska. But the reindeer are now
for the most part herded in the
northern portion. Eskimos that are
termed educated, which means their
living requirements have increased,
are unable to secure these solely
from their herds of reindeer in that
far away region. They own 100000
of these animals. If they get them
nearer to market they will be able
to secure more profit from them.
Such being the conditions plans
are being perfected for drive of
$4,000 of these reindeer from the
great northern tundra Once before
the Bureau of Education arranged
for a similar drive but abandoned
the enterprise because of lack OF
funds.
The drive is to be split up into
small herds of 1000 animals. kept
several miles apart. From Nome
they will head south toward Broad
Pass on the Alaska railroad in the
vicinity of which are fiourishing sur
roundings with an abundance oil
moss and lichens for grazing. Eacl
herd will have a skilled driver aided
by collie dogs and the drive is tt
begin in the early summer as soor
as the calves are able to stand the
