AEIAT0RS' ADVENTURE
 COMES TO DRAMATIC END

HARBoR GRACE, Newfound- LAND-The monoplane City of New York; bearing John Henry Mears and his pilot Henry J. Brown. on an intended second lap of their round the world speed flight, crashed and was wrecked as it was taking off at dawn Monday from the Harbor Grace Airport for Bal donnel Airdrome, Ireland.
 Neither Mears nor Brown were injured. The end of their adven- ture came with dramatic sudden ness. After taxing half the length of the field which was lit by flares and automobile lights, a landing gear tire burst while the plane was travelling about 60 miles an hour and the craft caromed from the run way.
 With Brown striving to regain control, the plane ground-looped and tore through a maze of under brush at the edge of the field before coming to rest. The wings and pro- peilor were crumpled and the entire bottom vas ripped from the fuse iage. Mears and Brown clambered from the wreckage as the airport officials rushed to the scene, pre- pared to fight the expected fire.
 Aside from a severe shaking up. the fliers were not injured. The ex- petitions dog mascot came out un- 'scathed, though bodily frightened. After a survey of the plane, both men were convinced their plane was beyond repair. They were undecid- ca as to whether they would secure another plane to renew their efforts to beat the around the world speed record of the Graf Zeppelin.

SALMON PLENTIFUL YUKON
 AREA; FOOD FOR NATIVES

The principal activity along the Yukon river this summer has been the harvesting of salmon by the na- tives to tide them over the coming winter, according to Herb c. Dun lop, travelling man, who returned to Anchorage several days ago from his annual cruise down the mighty Yukon.
 Salmon have been very plentiful along the river. MT. Dunlop reports, and that means that the natives have been able to lay in big stocks of dried fish for next winters con- sumption. It is a fortunate thing for them, too, because the fur out look for the lower Yukon country is not regarded as being very bright.
 The summer has not brought any new developments in the Poorman district, back of Ruby, which was the scene of considerable excitement earlier in the year There is some pay there but the gold bearing area appears to be limited to the discovery creeks, which were locat- ed during the winter. Prospecting during the spring and summer has failed to bring in any new ground of consequence. There is the usual amount of mining activity in the Marshal district, far down the Yu- kon. but conditions, as a whole, along the river, are rather quiet Anchorage Times.

RECORD RUN OF SALMON IN
 AVIAN CREEK
RadiO-K -Kieth- 0rpheumTroup From Hollywood Film the Scene in Order to Obtain Atmosphere" for the Silver Horde.

With approximately four hundred thousand salmon through the weir and over a hundred thousand in the lower creek, the run of humpbaek salmon in Anan Creek bids fair to exceed all previous records. This was the word brought to Wrangell by R. V. Baker, local warden for the Bureau of Fisheries, who has charge of this district. Word was received here early last week of the congestion caused by the unprece dented run of fish and steps wers immediately taken to alleviate the condition by closing the weirs.
 Not since the Bureau of Fisheries erected the first weirs in 1924 has there been such an escapement of salmon in Anan Creek. The area between the second falls and the wier is so congested that the fish literally crowd each other out on the bank in places.
 The run struck so suddenly and in such great numbers that the fish counters were hard put to keep the tally correct. This proved to be a fortunate circumstance for the cam era staff of the Radio-Keith- -Orphe- um troupe who were in this Vicin- ity shooting atmosphere" for the Silver Horde. Upon hearing about the run at Anan they promptly chartered an airplane and proceeded to film the greatest salmon run in years.
 The reports from Snake Creek show an escapement of a hundred and fifteen thousand salmon.
 Fishermen who arrived in Wran- gell during the past week reported an increasing number of salmon caught by seiners and traps. The past three days have been particu- larly busy ones for the seiners and several good catches have been un- loaded at the canneries.
 Both the Diamond K and the Wrangell Packing Company are working to capacity and several fair sized shipments of canned salmon hay ge y teonoeaalhrsdusholgp-a-f have gone south already.
 Late arrivals from Chatham Straits bring word of a strike among the trollers, or at least a mutual agreement to stop fishing until the price is adjusted to their satisfac- tioR. The price of echoes recently dropped from thirty-fiVe to twenty five cents. A big run is reported.

FOUGHT ELECTION IN THREE
 TONGUES IN NOVA SCOTIA

INVERNESS, Nova Scotia In- verness County, which has within it's boundaries the town of Judique and produces coal reputedly con- taining more heat than any other mined in Cape Breton, is laying here a couple of home town boys claim to one more distinction. Down fought it out for a seat at Ottawa, and Inverness has yet to hear of any other riding where the current is- sues were discussed in three lan- guages.
 Defending his seat was Isaac D. MacDougall, Conservative, who ran his first election in 1921 at the age of 24, and has represented the coun- try for the past five years. In the other corner is Angus L. MacDon- aid, Liberal, formerly of Dalhousie University law staff, making his bow as candidate for office. Ike" who comes of Scots-Canadian and French ancestry, has been ex- tolling the virtues of the Bennett policy in English and French, while Angus L. proves himself to be a triple threat man by raising his op- ponent one and indulging in the comparative luxury of pure Gaelic.
 English is the language of Inver- ness County, but sentiment still re- spends to the mother tongue. Church and song services in the pio- neer languages draw thronging crowds in this and kindred corners of New Scotland and New France.

NUMBER IF MEN . EMPLOYED FISHERIES
 BUREAU, SAYS PARKS

The regular personnel of the Bureau of Fisheries in Alaska in 1929 consisted of 20 statutory employees of whom eight were fisheries scientists engaged in study of salmon and herring of the Territory, according to Gov ernor Parks in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior.
 In connection with the laws and regulations for the conser- vation of the fisheries resources 216 stream guards and special workmen were employed for var ying periods.
 Many of them provided their own launches and patrolled wat CTS near the mouths of salmon streams to prevent fishing in the closed areas. Fourteen bureau vessels, manned by 45 men and 10 chartered vessels with 17 men were engaged in general patrol of the fishing grounds.
 In addition an auxiliary air pa trol was undertaken for the first time in Southeastern Alaska and proved to be such a success that it will probably oe continued.

House long before difference of opinion arose
between the executive and legislative branches
Of the Government, the whole matter coming
to head shortly after the President on August
5, 1867 called for the resignation of Mr..
Stanton, the Secretary of War, and when this
gentleman declined to accommodate his su-
perior Gen. Grant was authorized and en-
powered to act as Secretary of War ad interim,
which Grant continued to do until the 18th of
January following, when the Senate passed a
resolution declaring they did not concur in the
suspension of Mr.. Stanton from Office.
Copies Of the resolution were sent to the
President Gen. Grant and to Secretary Stanton.
Upon the receipt of the resolution Gen. Grant
