George B. Grigsby. so-called head of the Democrati: ticket was the chief attraction at the Democratic political maatjng at The MacGregor Theatre, We'd neSday night. Along with him were MT. Boyle, MT. Sampson and MT. Shattuck.
 Nil. Boyle introduced the tick ct by saying You ali know Mir. Tom Gaffney-but you didn't know him until MT. Paul spoke here last week. Gaffney is fa- ther of the eight-hour-law. MT Paul has nothing to his credit that will equal that law" He made no further statement as to Gaffney's record.
 MT. Karnes not being present, his qualifications were said to be member of the American Legion and service in Germany, and present superintendecy of the Ketchikan schools.
 MT. Ziegler and Mir Judson were not present.
 MT. Sampson who was present spent several minutes in foWery nothings. His silence would have been golden. He lost more votes by talking than if he had let George do the talking.
 MT. Sampson, referring to the proposed graduated tax on trap caught fish said, T would do so only as an alternative to state hood"
 MT. Boyle attacked MT. Gard ner and Mir. Scott. His attack being merely a repetition of the Juneau Empire. His attack on the native vote was not as direct as made by his Juneau political mentors, but it was the attack of one crying "sour grapes" while wishing in his heart he could

get those "sour grapes" or votes
 MT. Shattuck in his talk simply reiterated the pledges outlined in the Democratic plat form; attacked the Republicans for the plank which pledged support to the national admins tration and tried to make it ap- pear that this pledge was sur render to the policy of admins tration of fisheries as set forth by Henry O'Mauey. Tn national politics he claimed to be a Democrat but in territorial poli- tics he was without a brand as he wanted the votes of both Re 0ublicanS and Democrats.
 MT. Grigsby was then intro duced and he took the balance of the evening in trying to cover his platform or in lodging issues. He harped on the leaSen0ld bill and again charged Judge Wick ersham and William L. Paul with betrayal of the trust involving moral turpitude by their con nection with the trap leasehOld bill, proposed two years ago. His reply to the challenge of The ALASKAN to take the bill by paragraph to show wherein it was a betrayal of trust was as follows: T am not going to let the editor of this paper (The Alaskan in his hand) make my speech for me. It (the bilD pro vides for leases for four years, renewable for periods of four years-that is whats wrong with it. I can not understand how Paul can say he faVorS abolition If fish traps and then lease them for four years" Reading Wicker sI. am's letter published in tne same issue of The ALASKAN he charged that everything is a

BIames Fire Dept.

Charging that ineficiency on the part of the fire department was responsible for the deStruc- tion of her home by fire, Mrs. Otto Lehmann appeared before the city council with a request that the municipal government rebuild the residence
 Mrs. Lehmann made the blunt charge, "You have no fire de- partment." She asserted the fire would have been easy to central at first if firemen had taken her advice and used water as well as chemicals.
 After throwing a pitcher of water on the blaze, Mrs. Leh- mann said sine hurried to have an alarm turned in. When the department arrived, Mrs. Leh- mann declared "f1remen lost their heads. When an attempt was made to secure water, the hydrant to which the hose was connected was found to be dis connected from the raln and t was IS minutes before water was obtained. By that tlme water was not reeded."- Fairbanks News Miner

NEW MOONEY CASE EVIDENCE

Additional photographs and aff1daWts serving the claim that Thomas Mooney and Warren K. Billings are innocent of the 1916 preparedness day parade eXplo- sion were filed with the state supreme court justices last week by Attorney Edwin V. Mckenzie.
 Among them are three pie lures which show the clock on the Ferry Building and the one opposite the Eilers Building on Market Street, the so-called "aIi- hi clock" in exact time. They were snapped by Gabriel Moulin. professional photographer from the roof of the Hale Building immediately above the Eilers Building at 2::53, 800 and 3:01 D. m. on July g, 1916, the day of the bomb outrage. Mooney and his wife are seen on the roof be- low.
 The pictures, declared Mo Kcnzie, furnish "demonStrative proof of any disputed fact as to the correctness of the clock on the north side of Market Street, whose dial is seen in the Wade Hamilton pictures.
 Mckenzie also filed shadow" photographs. These were taken to prove by the "sun dial theory" the exact time of the Hamilton pictures. The photographer, Theodore Kytka, snapped them one year later to the minute from the roof of the Eilers Build ing with the Wade Hamilton camera.

Veterans Compensation

Payment by the government ot about $2,OOOOOO,0OO in cash to World War veterans on their ad- justed service compensation cer- tificates was advocated last week by Representative Patman, Dem Ccrat of Texas.

All other lines may be feeling the business depression, but beer production continues in Canada at high level. Official figures on the 1929 production of the seventy-eight breWeries in Cana da were announced last week by the federal government.
 Total output for the year was 62,O87,170 gallons, consisting of beer, ale and porter. The pro duction of bottled beer has steadily increased since 1918, when it totaled 12,111,976 gallons, to 1929 when the total was A. .016,892 gallons. The barreled output totaled 17,445, ,401 gallons. This was exceeded in 1921, when 19,272,847 gallons were produced in barrels.
 Canada's beer exports to the United States in 1929 amounted to 2,O788,281 gallons. This was the lowest in seven years and compares with the 1926 peak of 4,239,085 gallons. With the Do- minion now refusing clearance of beer to the United States more recent figures are certain tc show further losses.

Fraser Sockeye
 Prediction

Sockeye salmon stretched ir great schools for more than 1O( miles along the Thompson River to day promised for 1884 one o1 the greatest commercial fishing season in history.
 That was the word brought back by Charles R. Maybury, on his return from an in spection trip to the Fraser River watershed in British Columbia.
 The state, cooperating with the Fisheries Department of British Columbia, this year clos ed the season for more than a month to allow what many de- clared the greatest run of sock eye salmon in memory to escape from the Georgian Straits of Puget Sound to their spawning grounds up the Fraser.
 Expectations Exceeded
 Our best expectations were exceeded by the eScapement, !" Maybury said.
 Tremendous schools of sock eyes still are to be found in the Fraser, although the majority are already in the Thompson River system, which drains the ShusWap Lake area east of Ram loops.
 At no point on the Thompson, which runs eastward for about 100 miles from the Fraser before entering the Shuswap Lake sys- tenn, was there an absence of sockeyes. At the spawning reaches on the Little and Adams Rivers the stream beds were cov- cred with dense schools of fine mature fish"
 The coming winter, to a consi- derable extent, will control the returns of fish in 1894, Maybury said, but at present the pros rect for a record return could not be better.
 Late Run Increases
 "This late run has made not able increases in the past few years" Maybury continued. "The early runs of sockeyes, which frequent the northern lake area further up the Fraser, has not made such encouraging in creases."
 In 1929 the early run was en- couraging, he said, but during the past season the escapement of early fish to the spawning grounds was small.

Republican Rallies

The Republican political rally held at Ketchikan Thursday of last week was we'll spoken of by the Ketchikan Tribune, a new publication of Ketchikan. This paper, speaking of the address made by William L. Paul, said: William L. Paul made the best speech of his political career when he addressed the capacity house at the Coliseum Theatre here on Thursday night.
 He announced that he would prove the Democratic Party does not and never did believe in a democratic form of government and had never and was not now interested in protecting the trollers or fishermen of the Ter ritory.
 He mentioned that the Demo cratic party never had any knowledge of the fishing indus try in the past, and that if they had any knowledge of the in dustry at this time it was ac- nuired by reading The Alaska Fishermen.
 The Democratic party in the year 1880 has come out for home rule but their activities in the past according to the published records of the house and senate Of the territory show that they have never been for it previous ly. The desire for home rule is evidently a new one with the Democrats.
 Paul showed by the records that many of the claims of Gaf- fney were not upheld by the re- cords.
 He advocated many construc- tive measures for the fishing in- dustry in Alaska and changes in the economic laws which would really give Alaskan women a community property law which had no loop holes in it.
 He absolutely opposed each and every act of commissioner O'Malley of the Bureau of Fish cries, and advocated the passing of a real law taxing the non-re- sident and making the provision for carrying out that law when passed.
 Reports from Juneau indicate Ia very fine reception accorded the Republican candidates. Judge Wickersham gave Inasterly presentation of the is- ues of this campaign, MT. Gard lner, Vim and Scott also justi- fled their positions to the sat- iSfaction of the audience.
 There is every indication of a Republican landslide in Juneau and also at Ketchikan. Hyde1 will also go Republican.

LONG HURTFUL DEBATE
 DUE TO OPPOSITION

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Aug. B. The protracted controversy over the tariff engendered by the coali- ton controlled Senate was advanc- ed by Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut as one of the causes materially contributing to the pres- ent business depression. He said that when the power of the Demo- crats and Progressive Republicans to control the Senate became ap- parent
 Credit became frightened, faith in the immediate future lessened, top-heavy stock market crashed and the present depression began.
 Bingham declared that the cleo ton of President Hoover and Re- publican Congress, the calling of an extra session to consider farm relief and the tariff favorably af- fected business. He continued:
 If the Democrats had carried out the intention expressed in the campaign of 1928 and voted &C., icordingly instead of following the coalition, I believe they could hays avoided a large part of the present depression"

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug 5.- A cure for agricultural marketing ailments will be sought here at a Pan-American trade conference this month by representatives of South America and western farm inter ests.
 They will gather to determine if Latin-American countries can sup- ply a market for the vests sur- plus crops, and to ascertain if South America wishes to reach toward the west coast of North America as market for it's pro- ducts.
 Argentina suggested a meeting in California, with the result that more than 400 delegates from the Southern continent will meet those from ten western states.
 Exhibits of South American prod ucts will be displayed at the state fair and western states exposition after the conference ends August 30.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. = The Democratic fire on the tariff was intensified with Senator Claude A. Swanson's demand that the meas ure be revised at the earliest pos sible date.

 He warned of the eventual clos ing of the world markets against this country as protest against our high tariff wall. Already, h. said, "Italy has imposed almost prohibitory duty on American au- tomobiles. French tariff rates have been increased on oats, potatoes wheat flour and various other Am erican products including automo- piles"
