IN FROM THE DIGGINGs


 John Sales came in from his min ing prospect Tuesday to see how his Petersburg friends were mak ing it during his absence. Johnny looks we'll, feel fine and says that his prospect looks more encourag- ing every day. At present he has an open cut of 14OO feet and close to bedrock in some places and the indications improve with each shovelful of dirt removed. He re turned to his claim and cabin on Thursday.

Another Arrest

Several days ago Gordon Nc
 Donald, logger, swore to complaint against David Paul (Native) charg- ing that Paul ransacked a floating
 warehouse of his (McDonald's) ly-
 ing across the Narrows from town and purloined about $500 worth oi camp groceries, tools and equip ment.
 With a search warrant, Marshal Brown and Mcdonald, in a small motor boat, sailed Duncan Canal way looking up David and his camp. They found him all right and made search of both the Natives camp and boat. They found nothing con- | Donald claimed to have missed, lost or had stolen. However, or Paul's gasboat, several deer were hanging up and it is alleged that one or more of the animals were females Paul was promptly arrest ed, then, for violation of the Alas ka Game Laws and brought into town. A hearing on the matter was scheduled for Thursday, November 10th, but on the 10th the case was postponed to November 17th, Paul
 is out on bail given by Earl Dinner and will go ahead with his logging operations in Duncan.
 There is something slightly out of tune in this affair all the way through. What was $500 worth of groceries doing on an isolated float this time of the year and in freez ing weather? Again, why pick on David Paul? It is reported that because Paula hadn't purchased any groceries, nor had run a bill for supplies, he must have filched what he needed to run his camp. Who snooped around to learn wheth- CT or not the native had bought his probable requirement? Does the fact that Paul agreed to put in wood timber at dollar a thousand feet below competitors have any thing to do with the original com plaint?
 As to the deer matter, that will probably come out in the hearing later on and is aside from. the charge of theft.

WE'VE HEARD OF HIM

Thomas Scott, of Cordova, is out for the office of National Committee man for the Alaska Republican party so-called. To help boost him along in his aspirations we'll remark that he voted against House Bill 20, in the last Legislature. He, also, voted against the Controller ill. And, some more, he went pretty much down the line against all measures of benefit to working folk and to fishermen.

|L|AMNA DISTRICT Is UNCHANGED SINCE DAYS
 0F RUSSIAN REGIME

Strange as it may seem, local arri- vals from Iliamna the past week, de- cry the fact that conditions in some respects in that region have not been advanced with the natural growth of the country. Particularly in the mat ter of roads. And this, it is said, with all respect to The Alaska Road Com mission.
 The same as 20 years ago, and even many years before that, the same rate for packing in supplies exist, 10 cents a pound for the short pack from Iliam- ma bay to Iliamna village. This is due entirely. it was stated, to the fact the trail will not permit a wagon or auto truck to run over it, a distance of approximately 10 miles.
 A crew works on the trail almost every year but their combined efforts does little due to climatic conditions and the region traversed. A good sub- stantial roadbed would wipe out all difficulties encountered todate and would immediately serve to have all supplies, and these are considerable, routed through the Port of Seward in- stead of the long roundabout trip, through Bristol Bay, thence up the river.
