BREED LATE FISH"

We are now lead to believe by " sv ivel chair fisherman that the req scr for the reported heavy run ot late salmon this year is due to the black feed reported prevalent in Frederick Sound and other waters.
 The question arises then with plenty of black feed in Blake Chan n4l, Clarence and Sumner Straits why the scarcity of fish?
 The run from the southern dis tr:rt to Point Lemesiurer gradually decreased as the traps took theif tol! of salmon. The headwaters got bat a very small proportion of the escapement. All things being equal insofar as black feed is concerned, wcy is not the run in that section heavy as in other districts?
 Black feed theory notwithstand ing The Alaskan challenges anT SC enlist, bureaucratic or swivel chair, to disprove the parent stream theory in view of the following:
 Gtkeen sockeye run larger every year than any other red salmon s ream. A sc2nt dozen miles from i it's direct mouth is Konk Creek which produces sockeye running 2 for-1; Lake Bay and Salmon Bays are next in point of size as to their salmon yet with Coffman's Cove and " hale Passage in short swimmin2 distance we do not see many sockeye salmon going up these dog and hHnpy streams; Necker Bay, Baran- Of with it's 2-for1 sockeye is never Inns aken by Redoubt salmon ol vice versa, regarless of the quantity of black feed, or lack of it.
 Black feed theory or not, the 2-for-1 sockeye do not make the mis It@Ao of entering any other than thf paron stream.

Smith would want nothing better than to be able to show that the fed eral government, through it's prohi- b,tion enforcement officers was flaw crjng one presidential candidate and opposing the other."~
 It is being urdertood that this ap- plies to United States marshals also who are more or less active in cam pai@n:ng for presidential nominees As United States Marshal Albert White is soon to take his vacation and campaign in Idaho, it is won dsred what the attitude of the De rartment of Justice will be in the matter.

BROWN ADMITS CHARGE

h last weeks issue of THE ALAS KAN was published an editorial "Sheepherders and Gumshoers " charging United States Deputy Mar shal Charles " Brown with conduct upbecoming an officer, beingg i'm moral and of a nature contrary to his sworn oath to enforce the law without fear or favor
 Now Mr. Brown virtually admits tE" charge by bringing to task the nan whom he thought was our in dormant and who therefore knew of Browns illicit visits "You had no business" said he, Ito tell Paul anything about it." The man he brought to task has hardly even. said "how-dy" to Paul, let alone talk of Unned States Deputy Marshal ana lis private affairs in the Red Light district.
 When any representative of the Department of Justice so far forget. his sworn obligation to the publl whom he serves, it is high time tha. be served it no longer. Therefore alr. Brown should either resign fo, the good of the service or he should be divorced from the position by or der of the Department.

 "It is true that purchasing power is now concentrated in the hands of few who are already surfeited with more than they want.

WAGES AND HEALTH

 Civilization and the preservation of our national life demand the most serious study and consideration Of the causes of i'll health among chil- 6ren. We cannot have strong, vig- orous people unless we grow strong, healthy children.
 Because working men and wo- men realize the effect of the grave social error which confronts our present-day civilization due to a constantly increasing underfed and undernourished child population. trey emphasize their demands for higher wages and an adequate year ly income.
 The workers insist on the estab- liehment of wage level sufficient ly high to provide a yearly income out of which they can feed, clothe, care for and educate their children.
