Wednesday evening the sud- den ringing of the fire alarm reused the fire laddies and oth- CTS to be directed to the Viking Co.'S shop. After several false starts the truck managed to get to the scene after the little blaze had been put out with not more than four-bits worth of damage The scare was worse than the hurt.

Scott Sentenced
 Possession Brew

W. o. Scott of Security Bay was brought to town by U. s. Deputy Marshals Price and T'eero, charged with possession of home brew. As far as the de- puties were able to find from their investigations, Scott had nothing to do with the diSap- pearance of Jackson Brown, in Security Bay, several weeks ago. Scott was given six months in the federal jail at Juneau and was removed to Juneau by the deputies.

Will Not Pool Navies

Secretary of State Stimson in a statement this week, said that moral and not military influence was the purpose which Presi- dent Hoover and Premier Mac Donald had sought in reaching an understanding during talks here. He said the basis of the discussions was the Kellog-B and Peace Pact, in denying published representation that England and the United States has in effect agreed to pool their navies to maintain peace of the world. There was not a syllable of such a suggestion during the whole conversation, he said.

American Annual
 Fire Costs

Fires annual cost in America in round numbers is $1,112,O0O,- 900, adding to actual fire losses the expense of fire department upkeep, necessary extra water supply and fire alarm service, a figure beyond human concep- ton.
 This stupendous amount of money would build a road 400 miles long at cost of S25,0OO a mile, leaving over an amount sufficient to develop on either side 100-foot lots with a $7,OOO house on each containing furniture costing $3,000, with each $1,000 garage, a $1,5OO car; $300O year for household expenses and a vacation fund for each family of $2,OOO. After all this had been paid there would still be S362,8oO,0oo with which to build schools and churches.
 All because folk insist upor building to burn instead o1 adopting fire-safe construction.

Fishermen Ask For 0'MalIeyism

"The f1Shermen's union at As toria wants the United States bureau Of fisheries to take over and control the fishing indus try on the Columbia River. At Dreacnt the Columbia fishing regulations are the joint con- cern of Oregon and Washington, through a campact.
 "hs the law now stands, neith- CT state can make radical changes With the consent Of the other and the agreement must then be ratified by Congress. Fish legislation has been a bone of contention at Salem and Olympia for a score of legisla- tive sessions. The gillnetters of Astoria. who have been active in legislatures as we'll as have the packers, think there is too much politics, and say that the whole industry can be taken out of politics by placing control in the United States bureau of fish cries, Of which Henry O'Malley, formerly Of Portland, is now commissioner
 Charter Up Again
 Il was O'Malley by the way, who dynamited the plans of As tOria interests last February when these latter wished to change seasons and O'Malley de- clared that the proposed change would kill the salmon industry on the Columbia just as the industry was destroyed in the Sacremen- 10 River. Should the bureau of fisheries oake over the Columbia, one of the first steps to preserve the salmon runs may be abso- lute prohibition of the trollers who catch immature salmon at sea. The new Astoria proposal Lresages another fish row at Sa- lem iii 1881.

|Widgeon' On Reef

The Bureau of Fisheries ten Ger WidgeOn was stranded on Russian Reef, Whitewater Bay, Chatham Straits last week and was rescued by the Merrimac, Capt. John Hunter and the Frances, Capt. William George. of Angoon.
 On board the Widgeon were Capt" M. J. O'Connor, Capt. Mangan of the ship and the en- gineer.
 The winds and seas were so strong that they were unable to launch their lifeboat when Capt. Hunter arrived at the scene some thirty minutes after the vessel struck the reef.
 Under the greatest of difficult ties Hunter and Willis George got a line aboard and with the help of the Traveller, pulled the Widgeon. A damaged propeller repaired and a good scare for the Capt. ended the experience. Hunter was taken to Juneau 3 mighty sick man from the ex- posture.

 "Politically informed Alas kans say that Dan Sutherland, congressional delegate since March 4, 1921, faces the hardest fight of his career and probably defeat. Ten years ago Judge James Wickersham, after sever al terms at Washington, D. C., stepped aside for Sutherland and it begins to look now the same Judge Wickersham will be one of the chief factors in OuSt- ing him. Judge Wickersham is being mentioned as a candi- date, as is also John Rustgard, attorney general of the territory.
 Foster Steps Out
 Frank H. Foster of .COrdOva, whose name was used recently in this connection, has issued a public statement squelching any movement in his behalf, North erners say.
 Between the two Republican factions in Alaska ,one generally supporting national administra- tion policies and the other op- posing, Sutherland heretofore has been able to hold the bal ance of power, largely in recent years by virtue of the Native Brotherhood vote. His usual of 2,000 to 5000 was cut in two last year by his De- mocratic opponent
 According to word from the North, there is a growing feeling in Alaska that Sutherland has lost his usefulness in Washing ton. He bitterly oppoSed-made a personal issue of it, in fact the policies promulgated by Her bert Hoover, when secretary of Commerce, for the perpetuation of the Alaska salmon fisheries The unquestioned success of those policies and the elevation of MT. Hoover to the presidency have left, as politicians view it, Delegate Sutherland in an awkward if not altogether un- tenable position. Wherefore, the talk of a change.
 Both Judge Wickersham and Attorney General Rustgard are supporters of the administra- tion.

 Not A Candidate
 When in Petersburg early this Fall, Mir. Rustgard denied en- phatically that he was a candi- tate for the office of delegate to congress. But there are doubling political Thomases.
 Delegate Sutherland has not his intentions as yet. Tn event he files, it is doubtful mat Rustgard will file. If MT. Sutherland, MT. Rustgard and Judge Wickersham each file, it is expected that there will be some queer political combina- tions made; federalS with Demo- crats supporting one candidate and then combinging to defeat ;lim in the final elections.

"OUST LEFTS,"
URGE OFFICIALS
OF CAP union
Machine Plans Pogrom
Convention

A meeting of the Capmakers' Lo-
cal 1 of the Cloth, Hat, Cap and
Millinery Workers international,
called for the alleged purpose of
giving instructions to delegates to
the union convention, railroaded
thru union wrecking instructions"
and would not even permit a dis
cussion on the question. Instead a
program against left wingers was
called for by l. Roberts, machine
leader.
When H, SAFER, left wing leader
in the local, finally forced the ma
chine to let him read the left wing
resolution on instructions, that reso-
luton was quickly killed by an order
to table, shouted by one of the reac-
tionary leaders.
Before the meeting was closed,
however, an "instruction" was given
the right wing delegation, that they
call for action at the convention,
abolishing the union organ, "The
Headgear Worker" The reason for
this move is quite obvious. M
Budish, the editor of the paper, has
been known to have conflicts with
the official machine because of his
opposition to the expulsion of left
wingers and left wing locals. His
progressivism is therefore becoming
annoying to the gang in control
When this is coupled with the fact
that the union is on the verge Of
bankruptcy because of the traitor
Gus policies of the administration
the gang is then seen to be trying
to hit two birds with the same stone
Rid themselves of an annoying edi
tor and an expense.
A motion by a left winger tina
wages of the officials be cut rather
than end publication of the unioi
organ, was met with the usual rail
reading tactics.
The left wing resolution, afte
denouncing the officials for destroy
ing the union by sell-outs and expul
lions, called among other things TO
the adoption of a militant policy
unity with the left wing industrial
needle union and characterization O
