BYRD SAILS AWAY

Yesterday a hardy group of men set out from Los
Angeles for the Antarctic trip Of exploration ana
discovery They expect to be perhaps for three
wears during which time they hope to obtain much data
that will eventually add much to present geograph-
ical and scientific knowledge concerning this remote
region of the earth.
Commander Richard Byrd, first to fly over the
North Pole, and leader of transatlantic flight heads
the expedition.
1t has been fitted out with the latest in equipment
to insure the comfort and safety of the adventurers and
enable them to carry out their plans AlrplaneS,
radio and other modern devices augment the stout
ships and the dog seds which figure prominently III
polar explorations. Every detail has been carefully
planned and the expedition represents large tnan-
cial outlay.
What good does it do for men to sail away on such
trip exposing themselves to hardshps, is question
many st-by-the-fires-may ask. ,
The answer is Columbus, Marco Polo, Magellan,
Drake and all the other names which have come down
in history We are perhaps unfamiliar with true
conditions about the poles the world was OF Amer
lea before Columbus ventured forth
1t is not merely love Of adventure that SENDS
Byrd and his men away. Rather Is 1t a profound de-
sire to add to mankind's knowledge OF the world III
which we live. The spirit OF adventure Is necessity
but it is not the sole motive ,
The nation wshes Commander Byrd and his vail
ant crew God-speed successful expedition and sale
return when their objective is accomplished

ARRIVAL FROM INTERIOR
 DESCRIBES RAIL TRIP

The train which arrived in Seward yesterday a. III. at 4:3O o'clock from the Interior brought with it about 50 train and travel-worn passengers who left Fairbanks last Saturday the 17th.
 James Donoblitz, we'll known Inter- iorite and one of the arrivals said,
 "All were disgusted with railroad travel after travelling 112 miles, from Fairbanks to Healy, we were compell- ed to put up overnight at Healy. Sun day we made an attempt to get thru to Seward where the good ship Alaska was waiting for us, but of course we could not possibly get by the hotel of the Alaska Railroad at Curry and therefore were compelled to stay over night there, distance of another 109 miles.
 Monday, after a night of prayer at Curry hoping that we would have bet ter luck, we again started out for An chorage, distance of 134 miles. Up on arrival at Anchorage we had to spend another night in that fair city; the next trip was from Anchorage to Seward and to break the monotony We left Anchorage and got out as far as Mile 56 and then decided we had better go back to Anchorage where we had to put up with another night; little sleep and no rest, finally, on Tuesday night at 7:30, we made an- other attempt to try .railroading in AL aska and to the surprise of most of us and no doubt to residents along the railroad belt, we arrived, half asleep, in Seward this morning. Imagine our delight when we boarded the homelike and comfortable Steamer Alaska and departed for points South"
 MT. Donoblitz said that all the pas sengers wanted to give three cheers when they boarded the ship but they were all in and tired out

 Here is the rest of the paid ad- vertisement;
 Herring to the value of approxi- mately one and one-half million dollars are taken from Alaskan wat CTS annually and given to the na- tiOn and the world as food to sus- tain a hardy people.
 To pack these herring, much equipment is necessary, vast invest ments are made, scores of men and women are employed, all for the betterment of Alaska.

Alaska, to bring about such condi- tions as will be mutually advan- tageOus We hold that the conser- vatiOn of herring is essential our greatest problem being to know just what proper conservation is, and how it may be brought about, the question to be solved not by theories but by scientific investiga- tion, thing we hope our govern ment will undertake immediately"
 It is signed by the Pacific Herring Packers Association.
 Here is the situation;
 The herring packers hire all their seine crews IN SEATTLE. They hire all other help IN SEATTLE. They buy all their lumber and sup plies IN SEATTLE. They pay off all their help IN SEATTLE.
 They pay tax of about $25,OOO to Alaska, and that is all they do for the Territory.
 On the other hand, they have des- troyed many herring areas. Our halibut boats and trollers have been laid up for several weeks because they could get no herring for bait.
 Why should we favor these fer til'zer plants who are pretending that they are manufacturing "food?"

PAT GILDEA

Pat Gildea is a personal as well as a political enemy of Dan Suthe1. land. He became a personal enemy because Sutherland did not nOm~ mate Pats step-sOn to West Point.
 Pat was the closest friend that Senator John w. Dunn had. They were together in Juneau during the last session necessarily. SenatUr Dunn when he first came to Juneau promised to vote for the Controller Bill. After the long and close as- sociation with Pat Gildea Che intro duced several fish bills for Pat), Senator Dunn voted AGAINST the Home Rule Bill. Pat Gildea has never declared in FAVOR of the Controller Bill. Even in his letter (USA Bulletin for March), he does not agree to work for or to sup port the Controller Bill. He beats around the bush.
 Gildea is against an elective fish commission. He is opposed to political football" of a Commis- sion. This means he supports an appOintive commission by the fed eral governor.
 EUGENE WACKER
 He says: "A majority of the vot- CTS in southeastern Alaska have met Gene" and know him person ally" This is very true and argues most strongly for his rejection for endorsements as legislator.
 He seeks the Indian vote on the ground (Frame's letter to Deputy Marshal Eddy, dated February IA, 1S28) that "his wife is a part na- tive, graduate of an eastern school, and the granddaughter of an Indian Chief" This is not reason enough. I have great re- spect for her and If gene" were half as worthy as she is, I would say vote for Gene" But unfor- tunately, it is the MT. and not the Mrs. who seeks election.
 CHARLES DARWEL
 Darwell is regarded in Wrangell as a good citizen but unfortunately tied up with Karl Thiele, and a strong supporter of fish traps. If Darwell is right, then Hunt is all wrong.
