Attorney General Rustgard Interprets Canvassing
 Section of Statute

Primary election returns cover ing Territorial candidates and party officers cannot be canvass. ed by the several Clerks Of Court later than 45 days after such election. it was held in an opinion given yesterday by Attorney Gen eral John Rustgard to Secretary Karl Thiele. He also held that supplementary counts could be made by the Clerks of returns of Divisional candidates for limited period but not later than July 15
 The question arose as to a sup plementary canvass in the Third Division where additional returns were received after the official canvass was made by Clerk Cuddy at Valdez on the 45th day after the last April primary. The ruling of the Attorney General therefore leaves Capt. A. E. Lathrop's plur ality in the Republican National Committeeman race of 255 votes for the Territory unchanged
 Quotes Election Law
 MT. Rustgard's opinion cites Section 12 of Chapter 39 of the Laws of 1919-the Primary Flee tion Law, as follows:
 "As soon as possible after the receipt of the returns of the pri- mary election. and not later than forty-five days thereafter, and as soon as the Clerk of Court for his respective Division shall be satisfied that vote of any miss ing precinct cannot alter the re- suit of the primary election, 1t shall be his duty to canvass the same publicly, and he shall there upon when said canvass is com pleted. make out in duplicate a certificate of said election in his Division
 Some doubt has existed wheth' CT the Clerk had 45 days after the receipt of the returns within which to canvass the returns or 45 days after the election itself. If it were the former, said the opinion, it would generally serve to postpone the entertainment oi the results of the election beyond the time when the Secretary must make his report to the Clerks
 Means After Election
 Continuing it said: "As l in terpret the law, 45 days are giv en within which to transmit the returns from the election boards to the Clerk, and the period from then until July 18th is givei within which to transmit the cer tificate of results from the Clerks to the Secretary of the Territory I have no hesitancy in holding that the 45 days must be counted from the day of election"
 As to whether, after having made his official canvass within the 45-day period, the Clerk cal subsequently canvass adGitiona returns received later. the Attor ney General held it could not b, done so far as Territorial ant

was said, would create an in tolerable situation"
 Makes an Exception
 This reasoning is applied only to the returns which must be compiled ultimately by the Secre- tary and by him transmitted to the Clerks. The latter, it was pointed out, need not make a certificate to the Secretary of the vote for Divisional offices" and for that reason the cases cited would not apply to such offices.
 The Attorney ueneral then COIL cludes: "The forty.five day limi- tation was for the purpose of pro viding reasonable time for trans hitting the certificates to the Secretary. Where this reason does not apply, does the law ap ply? With great deal Of hesi- tancy I would answer that ques. ton in the negative. If am wrong and the Clerk canvasses the belated returns as soon as re. ceived, those who think them selves injured by it have an op portunity to have the question adjudicated by the courts. If the Clerk does not canvass such re. turns and their contents are un- known, those who think them selves injured by such course have no remedy. In other words, if I am in error in holding that the individual returns should be canvassed by the Clerk if receiy- ed before the certificate arrives from the Secretary's office, l may be corrected by the courts, if were in error holding that the re. turns should not be canvasses the error is incurablc

 Cash donations were receive from Miss Maud Francis, Mrs. Dave Housel, the Chamber Of Commerce and Messrs. John Rustgard, J. F. Mullen, Guy Me Naughton and the club itself.
 The Juneau Lumber Mills do. mated 300 feet of lumber and l.. H. Metzgar gave several benches for use in the park and on the stairways leading down to tn } basin.
 L. H. Smith has offered tne use of stump-puller to clear the ground. The U. s. Forest Service is plating the area and marking trees that should be removed City authorities will look after blasting and otherwise cooper ate in the work, it was said.
 The Woman's Club Cleanup Committee today made an infor nal report of the second week of it's local drive.

MOOSE TOSSERS
 MEET VETS IN SUNDAY MIxUP
Contest Important in De- ciding Winner of First
 Half City League

When the Moose and American Legion ball teams meet at 2:3O o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the City Park there should be one of the hottest games of the year, for a loss by either team will prac- tically put that outfit out of the running for the first half honors.
 As the Paps are tied for cellar honors now. they will be out of it for good if they lose tomor- row. A win will put them in second place and throw the Le- zion down into a tie with the Alaska Juneau for the bottom. Both the Elks and Vets have three more contests, while the Miners and Moose have but two more apiece, including the game tomor- row.
 Bob Keaton is expected to be- gin on the mound for the Legion tomorrow and will be received by Thomas. Manager McKinnon of the Moose has not announced his batteries, but it is likely either Junge or P. Schmitz will do the heaving to begin.
 On the last Sabbath game the Paps swamped their opponents, and hope to do the same with the Vets tomorrow in order to re- main in the running. Whichever team wins, it will be necessary for the Legion to knock over the Elks Monday if they would win the series The Elks can stand a loss, provided they win two of the three remaining games, and still end up in a tie for first place.

While they were examining the

usual and / never heard men laugh
so hard at nothing in my life. You
know telling jokes is one thing

Well, as I was saying. / never
heard any body laugh so hard and
so heartily in my life. There were
three of them and every time
cracked joke they dropped their
tools and SLAPPED their legs and
"ha-ha-d". Once in while one of
them would strangle and gasp for
breath and the other two would
work over him for five or ten min

listens to them an hour this would
