teetse on Tuesday and appeared
before the county commissioners.

the appointment of a deputy sheriff
for the Meeteetse section, said Off

mined that there is to be more law
enforcement in the town of Nee
~teetse. The state law enforcement

municipality If it SO desired.

SUPERINTENDENT
SITUATION UNSOLVED

With the new board of county
commissioners %adjourning this
evening, the matter of who is to
fill the county superintendent's Of
flee Is still a mooted question. Mrs.
e.. A. Anderson of Powell, victor
ious candidate at the last election,
has as yet failed to qualify, and
the matter was left open by the
county board until this evening,
when it was laid on the table for
one month.
Mrs. Anderson has received
wires from Commissioner of Educa-
ton Tidball, that her certificate
would be forthcoming within the
next few days, and in fact he prom.
ised to mail same today, but with
nothing on which to base their ac-
tons, the commissioners were
powerless to take other action. Mrs.
l.. L. Lawson, who has presided in
the county superintendent office
during the unexpired term of Mrs.
Irma Patrick is still in charge. and
will probably continue until she or
a successor receives an appointment
by the board next month.
The situation is a very hard one
Tor the county board. There are
many legal angles which must be
taken account of, and the fact tina,
the board ajdourns for n month
and that county officials have bu-
twenty days after January 1st tc
qualify. makes it unusually compli
Gated for Mrs. Anderson, should hel

BROKER FILES
CHARGES AGAINST new
ATTORNEY GENERAL

Emphatic denial that he has vio-
lated h ethics of his profession
was made in Cheyenne, Monday,
by Attorney General w. O.. Wilson,
in answer to formal charges filed
by A. G. Stewart, Casper broker,
with the state board of examiners,
asking Wilson's disbarment. Wilson
now holds the two highest legal
offices in the state. Besides be-
ing state attorney general, which
office he assumed Monday, Wilson
is president of the board of exam
liners, with which Stewards COM
plant was filed. Wilson also is a
past president of the Wyoming state
bar association.
Although Stewards complaint. to-
gether with his exhibits, total more
than so pages, legal minds were
unable to summarize it or grasp
definitely his charges. They per-
tain to the consolidation of the
Natrona County Electric company
and the Wyoming Electric company
of Casper, into the Natrona Power
company, which Stewart was instru-
mental in bringing about in 1918.
Apparently, Stewart contends, he
gave 5000 shares of stock in the
Natrona Power company to Wilson
for representing him and Wilson
acted against Stewards interests.
A second charge involves a loan
Stewart was instrumental in obtain
ing from the New York Life Insur-
ance company in 1922 for the pur-
pose of completing the Moose
building in Casper. Wilson was at
torney for the insurance company
apparently. Stewart alleges reluc-
lance in approving the loan.
1t Is known hal Stewart filed his
complaint with Governor Frank G.
Emerson before Wilson's appoiny-
ment was made.
Although I do not understand
Stewards charges" said Wilson, 'I
will a hat there has been NO
violation of the ethics of my pro-
feasion in my dealings with him.

Hoouer Reports
 Amazing Increase

TIONS, the broadening in scope of which has been possible under the new Alaska fisheries act of June |6, 1924.
 ''The RESULTS of these regula- tions are shown in the INCREASED pack of pink salmon in 1926, for this species natures in two years, and the fish returning in 1926. are THE PROGENY OF THE BREEDING HUMP BACK SALMON THAT ESCAPED IN 1924, the first year the regulations went into eff feet As a matter of fact, the pack of pink in 1926 is much larger than that of any previous year in the history of Alaska, the largest previous pack beeng about 2,60O,O0O cases" (of pinks).
 Ed. note. The "amazing increase" reported by MT. Hoover is due to escapement under the law of 1924 Everything being equal-regulation scapement-amazing reports, the run should be even better than last year The falsity of the report is made evident by the run which is not coming in. The last week of July and the seiners, under the hooverized conservation" are hav- ing a time getting enough salmon to eat without selling for the win ter's supply of food and clothing. ... FISH WILL COME ... w.
 All signs of salmon, past, present and future indicate a late run of salmon-breed late fish means the return of the salmon late. The sincerity of the Bureau of Fisher ies, Commissioner Henry O'Malley and Secretary Hoover is challenged as to their conservation policy. The urge of real conservation, set forth by the Regular Republicans of the Territory, is the only means where by the run of salmon will be prot back to normal-cut packs down and not raise pack limitation.
The Alaskan., 1927-07-22

The following abbreviated report of Alaska fisheries, made by Secre- tary of Commerce Herbert Hoover last fall is again brought to the at tention of Alaskans:
 "The tentative estimate (of the salmon pack) is 6,300,0OO, as against 4,459,937 cases for the en- tire previous season. When final figures for the fall pack this year become available, it seems probable that the total Alaska pack in 1926 will be about 46 percent larger than that of last year and will be ex- ceeded only slightly by the pack of 1918, when 2,S28,83O cases were put up and which was the largest in the history of Alaska salmon industry.
 GA comparison of packs by spe- cies followed).
 ''The foregoing shows the strik- ing increase in the packs of pinks and reds each of which totals over 100000 cases more than in 1925. Most of the increase in pinks oc- CUTS in central Alaska, although southeast Alaska shows a very sub stantial gain. All three general dis tricts show an increase in reds, but the chief expansion this year was in western Alaska, where the pack of reds was approximately 1,360,000 cases in 1926 as against 554,259 in 1925! central Alaska, 2,069,0O0, as against 1,052,593 in 1925; and southeast Alaska shows a total of 2,828,OOO0 cases, as compared with 2,8O2,414 cases in 1925.
 "The NOTABLE INCREASE IN THE PACK even to August 25 of this year, is IN THE FACE OF FURTHER RESTRICTIONS upon fishing BY THE DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS, which have been deemed necessary FOR CONSERVA- TON PURPOSES IN CERTAIN PLACES. It indicates THE EFF FORGIVENESS or SUCH REGULA-
