 He (Sutherland) had been U. s. Marshal at Juneau and got fired after an investigation by the At torney General of the United States. Dan and others had been charged with using questionable methods in the selection of juries."
 The facts are these:-AttOrne Shackleford had a case before the commissioner court. He met Marshal Sutherland in the hall of the court house, handed him list and said, See that these men are called for the jury in this case" a handpicked jury by Republican Boss Shackleford Sutherland did what any honest man would do, he gave Shackleford a cussing But Shackleford was the Boss and so Sutherland lost his job.
 His present salary, mileage and income from the job, amount to about $15,0OO."
 Sutherland's salary is $1O,O00 plus $500 a year for travel eX- pense.
 T presume he (Sutherland) is claiming Point Barrow as his resi- dellce so that he can get in plenty of miles,"
 The point of residence makes no difference, the amount is $500.
 Tn 35 leading newspapers of the United States, he described Alaska as 'cesspool of iniquity, the home of dope-peddlers, cutthroats and thieves,' and the Third Division as a place where more crime was committed than in any state or possession of Uncle Sam"
 The above language was verbat- i'm from a report of a Grand J1rT sitting at Valdez, which had exam ined into the practice of many cannnrieS without dQl1ht Joe Ma=

 board of control to be elected at large instead of electing one from each division? That's the joker"
 Answer, because that is the Am erican system. Who ever heard of any state requiring that certain state officers should be elected from designated counties?
 "The big native vote is in south eastern Alaska, where Dan and Bill (PauD vote the natives me chanically by taking printed bal lot, placing over it piece of card board with holes punched in it. The native then marks an x iii each hole in the cardboard"
 There are over 2,50O natives in southeastern Alaska who can read and write as well at least as can Joe Magill. Over 2,OOO natives of these parts have passed thru Che maWa. The cardboard story was invented by Frank Foster in a de- bate in 1921 The trouble with the native vote is that they are against F7ISHTRAPS.
 S1Jt n1o10 rI brought the president of the Fish erman's Union of San Francisco and of the Sailors Union there to Washington and that they testi- fled against both fishtraps and seines.
 Sutherland had nothing to do with their presence. They were testifying to save their own busi- neSS-tO-Wit, gill netting When asked about seines. each testified that they did not know and were unfamiliar with that type of fish ing, but thought seines were as destructive as traps. NO ANEND- N1ENA AGAINST SHINES was in troduced in the committee hear ing. It came on the floor of the House and was a TRICK of the trapmen who knew that the pro- posal to abolish traps could not pass if joined with a like provision against seines.

The Misstatements of Joe MagiII

vations were exactly like the White Fish Bill.
 That is not true. Under the Reservation system, Magill would have been given a district in which no other cannery could take fish, and in which no one could fish except with permit, and MA GILL WOULD ISSUE THE PER- MITS. Under the White Fish Bill, if the district was open to fishing EVERYONE could fish there law fully. You can see there is the difference between the two of FREEDOM and SLAVERY, and with the Joe Magills playing the part of Simon Lagree, the slave driver.
 MagiIl says, We have had the third largest pack of salmon in the history of Alaska this year. as justifying the White Fish Bill a5 ADMINISTERED by the Bureau of Fisheries
 Magill does not understand fig ureS. There is a SHORTAGE of MORE THAN 100000 cases of salmon in Southeastern Alaska, the oldest and the covered field. There is an INCREASE of one-half million cases in Western Alaska, q virgin field that has not yet been OVerflShed.
 The thing that Sutherland won for Alaskans is this-the right of fishery is open to all. The PACK FRS wanted the Reservation sys- tenn with the PACKERS HOLDING ALL THE FISHING PERMITS.

ADMIRALS LIKED
HAWTHORNE TRIP

Actual construction work on the
naval munitions plant at HaW-
thorne will start about the first OF
next year, it was stated today by
Rear Admirals L. E. Gregory
ad w. D. Leahy, who arriyed
here today from Hawthorne on
their way to Mare Island. They
were accompanied by Lieut.. Com.
C.. H. Cotter, who will have
charge of the construction work at
the new plant, says the Reno
Gazette.
I'VE have the surveys to make
and the layout of buildings to plan
before plans and specifications for
the plant can be prepared" said
Admiral Gregory. After that is
done we have to advertise for bids
and when the contracts are let the
contractors must have time to
have machinery on the job. 1t will
take several months to do this
and I do not think actual con-
struction work will start until the
end of this year at the earliest. !"
At Carson this morning the two
admirals made arrangements with
the governor to have the survey
for the Hawthorne-Lunning high
way changed in order that it
will not go too near the munitions
plant. The road will be located
about a half-mile south of the
present survey lines and conStruc-
ton of it by the state is expected
to start soon.
Both Admirals Leahy and Greg
ory declared the celebration at
Hawthorne last Tuesday ras one
of the finest they ever attended.
"I never enjoyed an inland
visit so much in my life" said
Admiral Leahy. Not only did
they have a real celebration, but
we met people there that I be-
lieved only existed in story books.
Climbing to a farm on the side
of Mount Grant was an experience
that 1 enjoyed and always will
remember It is only in the West
where men are created who can
start farms on mountain tops and
make them successful.
The sea Serpents of Walker lake
are to be subdued if they show up
again. Gregory declared. I'VE will
land a couple of hydroplanes on
the lake and give those serpents
a run for their lives"
They were not very much afraid
of the serpentS, however. as both
admitted they enjoyed a cool swim
yesterday in a secluded part of the
lake and they had not bathing
suits with them.
The navy department is not
asking the Southern Pacific rail-
road company to build a standard
guage road from Nina through
Owens valley, the admirals de-
clared.
The admirals said they were
also asked at Hawthorne how
many anti-aircraft guns they eX-
pected to place on the top of
Mount Grant. They said they did
not expect to place any and that
their job now was to get the
munitions plant constructed.
