OSLO, (Pl-The rescue party at Virgo Bay fears that it will be i'm possible to save the rest of Noble g party and the Swedish fiier, Lieut.. Lundberg, for another three or four weeks. It is hoped that by that time the ice will have brok- en up enough to allow the landing of large seaplane to take of the whole party in one group.
 The party is fully provisioned for at least month more and food of course can still be dropped to them from airplanes. A heavy fog today. made flying impossible. Hopes of finding Dr. Malmgren and his two companions is fading daily. They had been provisioned to last them until the twentieth of June, when they left the dirigible. A complete search of Barenth Sea, to the eastward of Bear Island, was made. but no trace of Amund- sen was reported.
 At least one of the seven men remaining in the bag of the Italia is believed killed. resulting from the falling of the forward com partment. The fate of the other six is still unkown.

HOUSTON, [P-The Democratic National Convention, whose major decisions were all but made before it ever convened. began today. in open session,so brief that it was over almost before the delegates were settled in their seats. leav- ing the keynote speech. the usual magnate of interest on the open- ing day. for the evening session. The convention merely went thru the motions of getting itself leg ally afoot and then after a session of one minute less than half an hour, recessed until sevent-thirty this evening. The convention was given a thrill during their so short session by demonstration for Smith, put on improptu by the democrats from Hoover's state. the solid South and the California del egation, who raised huge pie ture of their man high over their place and raised their voices in q mighty cheer.
 The newly appointed platform committee will wrestle during the next twenty-four hours in the hope of getting finished with their pro duct including a prohibition plank that. it is hoped, will escape a floor fight and be ready by tomor- row or tomorrow night.
 The keynote speech will be vir- tually the only business tonight. The voting for the presidential candidate will not commence be- for Thursday or Friday.
 That Smith will be nominated on the first ballot. was suggested by George Vannamee, manager of Smiths pre-convention activities, Vannamee said logical events show that a good feeling prevails throughout the country which in dicates that Smiths popularity is  so great that it is doubtful if ev- en his managers, if they wished, could delay his nomination past the first ballot" Vannamee is conf dent that there will be no serious contest over the platform or any other subject. He said "such har- mony as exists here has never been known to prevail in a Democratic Convention before. Every dele gate knows that his party has a great chance to win and no chance will be taken of placing this op- portunity in jeopardy Any Dem ocrat who wants his party to be successful knows that we must leave here with good feeling pre- vailing everywhere" He said that the Convention would probably end Friday. He also declared that the choice of a vice-President was very 1fmnortant and thus eft is cert in

WELCOME TO THE YACHTSMEN.

To those sportsmen taking part in the Capital to Capital cruiser yacht who will arrive here probably beginning with today and continuing until early next week. the hand of Alaskan fellowship is extended by the people of this community No welcome could be heartier or more sincere than that with which Juneau greets them Their coming has been the subject of much enthusiastic comment and awaited with keen anticipation which today ends in realza- tion of the most pleasant nature
 Locally the interest in the most notable event in the towns history has been lively and active for many months It had it's inception in the minds of Olympia sportsmen al- most a year age. In bringing the idea to fruition, the Juneau and Olympia Chambers of Commerce have formed connections that have been both agreeable and profitable to each community. Naturally there was good deal of work con nected with the undertaking with pioneer ing effort in any field Of endeavor whether it be business or sport That it has been so successful is the highest kind of tribute to both organi- cations, the representing them in making and carrying out the plans, and to the citizens who have so generously supported the race. And not the least among the factors of success has been the whole-souled spirit of cooperation of the yachtsmen themselves Without it. no amount of work could have avaed though backed by more unlimited funds than at the disposal of those sponsoring the event
 The sponsors are to be congratulated upon the magnificent results of their labors Those taking part deserve and will have the felictations of everyone upon their accomplishments. Juneau is honored by having them it's guests. Let's leave nothing upturned to make their stay here during the next few days one of unalloyed pleasure

Hats Off to Martin J. Bugge.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.) )

No real estate transaction in recent months in Ketchikan has had greater significance than that which was consummated yesterday when Martin J. Bugge leased in perpetuty to the Rotary Club of Ketehikan that section of water front property to the south of the city which is generally known Bugge Beach.
 The spirit behind the action of MT. Bugge, the safeguards he placed about the lease for the welfare of the general public, and the utter dls- regard for self were and impressive. By the transactn Mr Bugge has stamped himself as one of Ketchikan's most public spirited citizens. He has pointed the way for others likewise to give of their substance for the general wellbeing and happiness of the public, and particularly of the women and children.
 As Mir Bugge has given up his property for a noble purpose and at financial sacrifice, so should the people of Ketchikan receive 1t. Not only that but they should guard well, for all years to come, the intent of MT. Bugge that the property is to be used for the entertainment of the children primarily, that they may grow vigorous and strong, and with clean surroundings. In giving his property, MT Bugge has made all the provision that be foreseen to make the place to which every mother will be glad to take her family for outing. In support ing his idea it is net too much to expect that the Federal officers will visit it with persistent frequency, to prevent parties of an objection able character.
 Bugge Beach, and it should always bear that in honor of the man who is so gen. erous with the public, should always be place of credit to it's and to Ketchkan. As the years roll along it should be the constant en- deavor not only of the Rotary Club which fos- ters the movement, but of all good citizens to make steady improvements rapidly as finances will permit.
 Ketchikan is fortunate that such public spirited citizen originally acquired title to the property and that organization has taken sufficient interest to see that 1t is improved for a great purpose.
