High Finance Methods
 Adopted by Fishermen

PORTLAND. --e., San. H. Wholesale fish concerns lere complain that some scallop fish ermen have emulated the methods .of get-rich-quick financiers.
 They assert they have been buying "watered stock" Some of the Casco Bay small boatmen, who are dragging giant seallops this winter, the buyers aver, shuek out the meat and soak it overnight in fresh water.
 This. it is said, causes the seallops to swell appreciably and take on much weight. Twenty pounds in their natural state grow to 25 pounds after 12 hours of soaking. It is hard to detect such doctoring by appearance al- though the fresh water cure" is said to detract considerably from the fine flavor of the scallop.

INI,sANS REPORTED
 HAVING LEFT SITKA
 ITO HUNT FOR SEAL

Capt. M. J. OConnor, of the Buerau of Fisheries. received a report yesterday that a party of Indians from Sitka were looking ferdBeal off Cape Edgecumbe It is the opinion of Capt O'Connor tha 'tthese Indians have heard that there were seal off the Cape and have gone out on this trip to verify or investigate.
 Since the Indians must either row or sail their boats, not being allowed to use any other motive power and since they must har- poon the seals, it is believed this tripiwill prove a successful one and that weather conditions will continue mild.
 If the Indians find any seal at this time of the year, Alaskans may look forward to an early spring, it is said.

BOTH SIDES
EXPRESS
HOPE

The eyes of all politicians
Of the country, both Demo
Gratis and Republicans, are
eagerly on Virginia and the
general election to be held
next Tuesday. The political
pendulum which swung the
Old Dominion into the Repub-
lican column last fall is still
swinging, but which way no
one knows, as both the old
line Democrats and the Repub-
lican anti Smith coalition
party are claiming victory.
Democratic leaders assert that
this is the most important cam
paign since the reconstruction days,
when they wrested the control of
the State from the carpet-bagge
They feel that in order to COM
pletely destroy the opposition and
make Democracy safe, they must
win by a majority in excess of
$4,000, but none will say that they
are so optimistic. If they get in
by 10000 to $4,000 they will be
glad.
Democratic Nominees
The regular Democratic nominees
are DR.. John Garland Pollard, of
Williamsburg, for governor; James
Price, Of Richmond. for lieutenant
governor, and Col. John r. Saun-
ders, of Middlesex, the incumbent,
for attorney general. All are max
ing extensive speaking campaigns,
Governor Harry F. Byrd, Senator
Carter Glass and other prominent
Virginia politicians are making
numerous speeches in behalf of this
ticket.
DR.. William Mosely Brown. of
Lexington. is heading the Republi-
Can-anti-Smith coalition ticket as
their candidate for governor. and
admittedly is making an impressive
campaign. Gallon B. Jones, of
Richmond. a prominent lawyer. and
assistant u S. District Attorney. Is
running for lieutenant governor,
and their candidate for attorney
general is Capt. c. c. Berkeley. of
Newport News.
SIemp Leads Coalition
The Republican-anti-Sm Smith Coaii-
tion party is being led by c. BdScom
Slemp, former Representative from
the Ninth Virginia district and at
one time secretary to eXPresident
Coolidge. Slemps aide is Henry w.
Anderson. prominent Richmond at
tolney, and a member of President
Hoover's crime commission.
Frank Lyon, Washington lawyer
and real estate man, and one of the
leading anti-Smith Democrats, has
been speaking through all parts of
Virginia. His main attack has been
directed at Raskoh, Tammany and
the so-called Virginia Democratic
machine. alleging that the Virginia
machine is a hook-up with Tam
many Hall.
The Republican-anti-Smith coali-
ton party claims victory by a mini
mum of 5000.
The general apathy of the Demo-
Gratis throughout Virginia is de-
plored by Democratic leaders. They
cannot account for it unless it is
over-confidenCe on the part of the
Democrats.
The coalition party is working
hard, and from all reports have
plenty of money, which they are
putting to good use
SO far the ku klux klan has
taken no official part in the fight
and ]. L. Baskin, grand dragon of
the Realm of Virginia. had nothing
to say for publication when recently
interviewed on the situation.
The w. c. T. U. and Anti-Smith
League have not indorsed either set
of candidates. The Rev. David Hep
burn, superintendent of the Virginia
Anti-Saloon League. stated that all
candidates were acceptable to him,
as they are dry.

Cattle Health.

IF the old political axiom, "As Maine
goes, so goes the Nation" is to hold
true in the dairy industry, the United
States some day will be entirely free
from bovine tuberculosis.
After IL years of intensive work, the
Bureau of Animal Industry of the De-
partment of Agriculture announces that
every trace of the infection has been
removed from the dairy herds of the
State. This gives to Maine the honor
of being the first New England State
to receive clean bill of health and
the second in the United States. Only
North Carolina has preceded Maine in
eradication work. and that by only a
few months, the report of October /,
1928. giving North Carolina its dis
tinction.
During the course of the work In
Maine, $4,000 tuberculin tests were
made, and of that number about / per
cent reacted. The cattle showing the
reaction were slaughtered.
The Importance of the eradication
OF the disease in Maine is not so much
in its milk production, important as
that is as it is in the fact that Maine
is a great breeding State for cattle.
Many other adjacent States find In
Maine a source of supply to increase
their own herds.
The work in other States is not 80
easily accomplished as it was in Maine
for infection runs much higher in some
sections than others. AS normal pas
teurization is not a guarantee against
tubercular infection in milk, the i'm
portance of the eradication work is
evident.

The type of locomotive that hauls the
Capitol Limited between Washington
and Pittsburgh over the mountain
grades is the largest passenger locomo-
tive in the world today.
The development of freight and pas
senger transportation on the Baltimore
& Ohio has kept pace with the de-
velopment OF its motive power. This
has resulted in the growth from the
original Is miles of line between Balti-
more and Ellicotts Mills to the Balti-

than 5000 miles of line, extending from
the Atlantic seaboard to the Mississippi

for actual service on the road. but only
