Preparing Nicaragua ELECTIONS

In response to rumors that many Nicara-

Grafton movement led by SANDING have been
registering in the department of Neuva
Segivia, the armed forces of American i'm

launched another murder campaign.
1t seems that there is strong sentiment
among the masses in this district to register
so they may be able to write the name of
SANDING across the ballot, in spite of the fact
that SANDING is barred from being candi-

Demo Leader Kicks Up
 Lot of Fuss

Governor Al Smith is having any thing but harmonious time with his party leaders. Especially the wo- men. For one of their spokesmen, Mrs. Glenn Shaver, chairman of the West Virginia section of the Nation al Women's Democratic Law En- forcement Leaghe, issued the fol- lcwinv vigorous statement attacking Smith, presidential nominee:
 Regardless of what Democratic leaders from top to bottom may do, we dry Democratic women will not support the dripping wet ticket and joke platform named by the Tam IT any delegates to the recent con- vention at Houston.
 And furthermore, I do not be lieve more than a few of the mil llOlS Ol D0mOCTdLlC uOmOH III CulS country can be fooled as all the De enocratic leaders have been fool ed ly it.

Alaska Pulp Project
 Comes Slowly

h. o. Posse, representing the Zel- lerbach interests who recently made trip with Don Meldrum to view the timber along the west coast of Admiralty Island, accompanied by his wife, declared that they enjoyed the trip very much.
 There undoubtedly will be no de- cisions made as to the location cf any pulp plants the Zellerbach in terests may build in Southeastern Alaska, MT Posse declared The sIrvey now being made in this area will be completed late this summer, when the party will go to Ketchikan to continue work begun there some time ago. It will take until next summer before the cruising is com pleted, he added.
 Few people," MT. Posse ventured realize the amount of work that must be done before such a concern su 'h as I represent can come into new territory and construct a plant which represents a huge investment. A thorough survey must be made or all the timber in the country which we will have to depend upon, and we must know the exact extent of the available material and how much of this we do not want.
 With this object in mind, Mr. M-ldrum and MT. Ella, who are mak ing our surveys, are stripping" the island and mainland. Large parts of the important timber sections will be gone over piece by piece t2 determine, as near as possible, the resources.

Booth Fisheries Man is
 Pessimistic

MT Davidson, representing Booth Fisheries at Sitka, was a passenger sOutnbound on the Alameda yester- day. Speaking of the salmon fisher ies in the First Division, he was anything but optomistic The Pyr- amid Packing Company at Sitka, he said, had a pack to date of about 4.0OO cases; Funter Bay cannery or Thlinget Packing Company at Funt CT Bay, had pack of 11,000 cases. A squirt in the run of salmon in the Icy Straits district was reported, bus according to MT. Davidson, was noth- ing over which to get excited. In dications to him this year are that the packers are going to fall consid era ple short of their average pack,

 The fishermen's price demands were virtually all acceded to by tic buyers but the king salmon are not running in any quantity and many of the trollers are not making an, money at the going prices.
 From every angle of the salmon fi-l cries game, said MT. Davidson it was a quick way to lose mono, tiis year-unless an unprecedented run of salmon makes it's appearance

 He is quoted as being more pleas ed with the westward run of salmon winch he says has every indication of being about average Speaking of the run in thee First Division he was rather more non-committal as t. season is a little early for any representative of that department t. speak with any assurance of 8 good season. And they certainly hate to admit that there will be a bad season for it will be an admis- sion of the virtual depletion of the fisheries in the Division.
 MT. O'Malley was exceedingly pleased with the wonderful escape nent in the famous Anan Creek, Blake Channel He reports that 50.000 were clicked over the weir by the 10th of this month. An es- exponent of this size in that famors strt am IS wonderful in view of the fact that the stream has been de- ploted under the supervision of the Bureau of Fisheries. To those who are familiar with that stream, 30, 900 is nothing compared to what should be escaping
