to be composed of one Indian fisherman, one white fisherman, one Packer, the Commissioner of Fisheries and one other to be chosen by these men. Opposi- tion to the Indian on the c0m- mission was raised and it was to be used as political ammunition. Mir. William Paul, who was at Washington at the time said: ''You can leave the Indian off that commission as it will be used to your hurt. It will not hurt our feelings and it will not make any difference politically"
 Dan replied: "No, they have right to representation on that commission" The bill was de- feated in committee.
 Tn his campaigns for election he had the opposition of the en- tire press of the Territory save The ALASKAN and ALASKA FISHERMAN; he had the Demo- Republican Federal Brigade cen- ter it's full force against him, yet in spite of that opposition he was overwhelmingly elected. Showing that in every respect he enjoyed the fullest confidence of the masses. Which can be en- .oyed by no man who caters to and favors the money powers.
 Stepping aside at this time, Dan will carry with him the sim cere admiration and respect of every one cognizant of the po- ltical affaires of the Territory and the rapacious greed of the Packing Combine with it's sycho- phantic United States Bureau of Fisheries. - Petersburg ALAS KAN.

FORBES NOTES
new TRADE
TREND
By h. Q. Forbes

Curiously, about the time Bpecu.
lation went out Of fashion IN the
running Of q business, other
forms of speculation. especially
stock market speculation. came
into vogue.
Not 80 long ago It was common
for manufacturers merchants ana
others to operate more or less
speculatiyeiy, especially In forward
buying Of materials and merchan-
OF speculating In Wall Street.
Today the tables have been
turned.
VIII 1t last3 \
Close Buying Paid z
Before the war hand-to-mouth
buying was not the rule in this
country. Merchants bought Tor Q
whole season at q time. Man
ufacturers sometimes loaded up
with their raw materials, sone-f
times refrained from covering
hand. VI
It used to be said Of q man,
Hes q, very shrewd buyer" In
fact, In many lines Of business, It
was recognized that unusual suc.s
cess was mainly attributable to
the exercise Of superior judgment
in purchasing, especially in know.
ing when to order heavily for
distant delivery. Certain men be-
came recognized az possessing
uncanny ability to feel" the
market. They sensed when to
plunge and when to operate ex-
tremely cautiously.
Business success Is rarely at
tanned this way nowadays. Mersg
chants buy only for nearby needs.
Manufacturers try to avoid spec.
ulative operations.
Selling Now Paramount "
Success today IL sought, rather
by developing efficiency to the
highest attainable pitch. Mer.
chants watch the trend Of fashion
day by day and act promptly.
They employ high-priced brains
to conduct their advertising, upon
which much greater sums than
formerly are now spent. Window
dressers Of inimitabie ability are
engaged at salaries formerly paid
only the presidents of the nations
very largest banks. Selling staffa
are coached and drilled in co1r-
tesy, attentiveness. helpfulnesg
and service. -

New Story Of Note
The story told by Gormley in his
declaration puts the transaction sur.
rounding the $4,000 note signed by
Mrs. Calhoun in a different light.
He tells the court that he has al
ways enjoyed q good reputation as
a contractor and that on July 90.
1928, Mrs. Calhoun gave him the
note In payment OF debt
In about 10 days. Gormley says
he turned the note over to another
contractor to whom he owed money.
He declares that both Mrs. Calhoun
and. her husband publicly and ma.
liciously declared In the presence Of
others that he stole the note from
Mrs. Calhoun's desk.
He declares that he has now been
held up to the public a. an en-
bezZler and one who has been
guilty of larceny and that his
credit has been injured. his reputa.
tion has been impaired and he has
been wholly ruined by the alleged
slander, he claims.
