 OPPOSESRULE
 BY THE PEOPLE
Delegate Is Not in Favor of Counties or Other Means
 of Local Government

In a speech delivered at tic Palace Theatre Saturday night, Dan Sutherland. Delegate to Con- gres3 and candidate for reelection, declared that ho did not know what was meant by True Terri torlal form of government" Ho probably meant full Territorial form of government" He declared that he stood for increased powers for the Territorial Legislature but was net fin favor Of creating county goye.l lmof 5, saying that the Firft Division is the only part Of tho Territory that is in any way equipped to take over the county form of government" He dc clared that Alaska has five times the area that other Territories had when given the powers of full Territorial form of governments, and that the population of Alaska is too sparce for that sort of goy- ernment.
 He reviewed legislation that he had secured, and claimed credit for getting the Forest Highway Act extended to Alaska.
 Explains Quarrel
 He explained his quarrel with Hoover by saying that they had differed about the flsher,es reser- yations and that Congress sus- tained him. He declared he. was satisfied that MT. Hoover, if sleet- ed President, would not hold that against him. He said nothing about h.s various attacks wherein he question MT Hoover's honesty. He denied that he had ever re- ferrod 10 MT. Hoover as a graft er." or used any undlgni1ied term in reference to him.
 He said Inc only reason for the rejection of Adams, nominated for Judge of the First Division was that he was not a resid ont of Alas ka. He testified to his fitness otherwise in every way for the position.
 He accused his opponent of be- ing in favor Of notification of the prohibition laws in Alaska and op- pose dto the principle of being hls brothers keeper"
 Home Rule Ideas
 MT. Sutherland says his idea of home rule is to fill offices by election, and then he devoted most of the remainder of his speech to an argument for the Controller Bill which he characterised as a self-government measure.
 He contended that the change in the Alaska game laws, creating an Alaska Fur and Game Commls- sion was transference of power from the Department of Agricul- ture to "the people of Alaska
 There were between 800 and 600 people at the Palace Theatre meet ing. Grover c. Vim. candidate for Representative presided and, in addition to MT. Sutherland W. L.

 cal enemies intended the Septem- Der primary as a deciding bout t9 settle the issue. The Governor proposed an entire slate of elec- tive officials who he said would work in harmony with him. The opposition backed a harmony" candidate for governor to oust Hartley. When the election was over things were still muddled, for the voters rejected all the harmony candidates.
 |. A valiant effort was made by l members of the Republican Stato committee to restore harmony in the party after the smoke had cleared from the primary battle. The popularity of Hoover with the rank and file of the voters was ex- Peeted to aid all the Republican candidates, but many of the lead- CTS opposed to Gov. Hartley were openly advocating a scratch ticket 10 support Scott Bullitt. the Demo- cratic gubcrnatorial nominee.
 Dill Given Free Hand
 Smith leaders in the state are not seeking to tie up Democratic candidates for state offices with the national campaign. c. c. Dill, Democratic Senator from Washington has been given a free hand to fight his own battle for reelection. Dill is dry and has never shown much enthusiasm when Smiths name was mention- ed. Republican votes elected him six years ago when he sent Miles Poindexter, Republican,, into politi- cal retirement as ambassador to Peru. Dill's Republican opponent this year is Kenneth Macintosh. former State Supreme Court Jus- tlce, who will give the Democrats hard battle. Mackintosh has tied up his campaign with the. iippNcl lOTCtS.
 The Republican Representatives in congress from Washington ex-t pect to. be reelected without much of struggle.
 Situation In Oregon
 In Oregon, though considerable Smith sentiment exists, Republican generalissimos do not believe the Democrats can overcome their tra- ditional majority and the general sentiment in favor of Hoover as Oregon's "favorita son"
 1t was in Oregon that Hoover spent his boyhood and youthful school days at Newberg. Later he !. worked for his uncle as messen- ger boy at Salem, the State Capi- tai There seems to be only ono. chance that Smith will get Oregon that is for Multonomah county. which includes Portland. to start landslide for the New Yorker Multnomah county has about one-third of the votes in Oregon, and Of these only about one-third are normally Democratic. Political experts point out that Smith would have to hold every Democrat in the county and grab off one out of every three Republicans, But not all the Democrats appear to favor their party's nominee and wet sentiment among the Republicans has not yet crystallized to that extent in Smiths favor. Oregon is not electing a gover- nor this year.

Mud Balls Are Formed
 As Rain Hits Dusty Air

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. = Mud rain drops, similar in formation to hail-stones, are described in a report received by the Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior from Dr. k. B. Hodges in charge of the Hawaiian Vol cano Observatory.
 The mud balls, pr. Hodges as- serted. are extremely hard and formed in layers. It is believed they are produced by rain drops falling through dust-laden at mosphere and collecting so much dust that they fall as mud pei lets. They vary somewhat in size, the largest being compara- ble to marble or large pea.
 pr. Hodges says that although they are probably a concomitant of every great volcanic eruption in any part of the world where dust, with large quantities of water vapor is being elected, the references to their occurrence in literature are remarkably few.

NEWTON FALLS. Ohio, April 20
Especially 1T Is rumored here that the
Newton Steel Co., which has q modern,
well equipped plant here and which
makes full sized sheets for automobile
bodies. may figure in consolidation.
The plant was on the verge Of such a
merger last year, but the deal fell
through at the last moment.
ATLANTA merger backed by
Flint 6c Co, which will take in $50
spinning mills in the Southeast, also
will include about 250,000 spindles max
ing combed yarn as well as processing
and mercerizing plants. The conSoli-
lated concern will have about 1000 900
;pindles and the deal will involve about
$1,000, 900.
OTTAWA.-Fur farmers throughout
ontario and Quebec are preparing for
change In the demand. They pre-
dict that the popularity of the fox will
drop somewhat and be supplanted by
fisher, marten and mink. They are
making their preparations accordingly.
ST. LOUIS.-Sales of meats and food
stuffs In this trade territory are salts
factory and normal, and the demand

Special Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK, April 20.-Despite con-
fiicting reports as to unemployment
from various sections 1t is an estab-
lished fact that the unskilled workers
out of Jobs are moving out OF the big
centers where they have "wintered.
This indicates that the fields, the
strengthening camps, the cattle
round-ups, the buildings trades, the road
work activities and the improvement
in the industrial production Of the
country are absorbing what excess still
exists.
There will, of course, always be hun
dreds Of thousands Of workers tempo
rarily out of jobs, either voluntarily
or because they are changing from job
to Job or from center to center. The
itching foot will continue TO drag the
"monkey-wrenc mechanic" and the
suit case craftsman from place to place.
But the pay roll volume Of the country
has increased in the last week and
purchasing power with 1t.
Stability Is Watchword.
Stability is the watchword of the iron
and steel trade. Plant operations are
at high rate, prices are on SOUND
level with no immediate changes IN
sight. and demand Is constant although
it is expressing itself in orders of only
moderate size. Some Of the steel COM
panies have already been earning their
annual proffered dividend requirements
in the first months of the year.
A feeling Of reinsurance has followed
the placing of ore requirements for the
wear by the Ford Motor Co. 1t is under
stood Ford will take 100000 tons OF
Lake Superior ore. Just what price was
named is not definitely known. but It
is understood the business was arranged
on basis of $4.40 a ton. the prevailing
price last year. Ford'S business has
established the rate in recent years.
The automobile companies are all
stepping up production in anticipation
of Increased foreign as we'll as domestic
demand. The Ford trip to Europe may
have been for pleasure, but 1t Is likely
TO have some business results. In the
meantime Ford'S rivals are making the
most hay. while the sun OF Ford pro-
duction still Is below the zenith.
Building operations are higher by far
