CAFFNEY HERE
 FOR CAMP AICN FOR AUDITOR
Democratic Nominee, Pio- neer Legislator, Is Con-
 hdent of Winning

On a campaign tour that has carried him from his home in Nome through the Fourth and Third Di- visions, Thomas Gaffney. Demo- cratic andidate for Territorial Auditor, arrived here. last night to open his vote drive in this Division. He is cognizant of the fact that he is facing one of the hardest tests in his long career in Alaska, but he is confident he will be re- turned a winner in the November election.
 q have found voters in all the communities I have visited recep- tive to my candidacy, and might say, to the Democratic ticket gen. erally. In the past year, elections in the States have shown a sweep ing trend away from the party now in power and several Republican strongholds have gone Democratic. That same tendency is unquestion- ably present in this Territory and it's result will be notable in the approaching election" he declared
 Pioneer Legislator
 MT. Gaffney is well known throughout Alaska and particularly so here. He was member of the first Alaska Legislature in 1913 and was active in the passage of the first eight-hour day law as applied to the mining industry in the Ter ritory which is still effective.
 He was Ia member of the 1927 Legislature and achieved Territory wide prominence for his leadership in the fight against the notorious Controller Bill in the lower House. His speech against that measure was hailed as one of the strongest ever made in the local Legislature.
 He has resided in Alaska for the past 30 years, in Seward Peninsula towns, principally at Nome. He has been engaged continuously in the mining industry. Just prior to beginning his campaign, he turned over a promising property on Sun- set Creek near Nome to develop ment company which is now op- erating on the ground.
 Speaks for Railroad
 MT. Gaffney left Nome on July 26, and has been actively cultivat- ing the vote field since that time. Up to the present he has made no public speeches, and his only ap- pearance at any public functions was at the Anchorage hearings of the Senate Committee Investigating the Alaska Railroad
 He was the first witness to ap- pear there, and was on the stand about two and one-half hours. His testimony revealed the dependency of the remote northern areas of Alaska on the continued operation of the railroad. He depicted for the committee conditions in Yukon River, Koyukuk and other districts, and on Seward Peninsula; gave a picture of the mining industry; and showed how the railroad serv- ed thousands of square miles of territory other than that which is directly adjacent to the right of-way.
 Believes Good Will Result
 Tt is my belief the Senatorial investigation will be productive of much good to Alaska" he declared. "Alaskans welcomed the opportun- ity it gave them to present AL aska's case directly before influen- tial members of Congress. These Senators. I am certain, are going

SHEEP NOW TRUCKED
 TO PASTURES IN WEST

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept 17.--The spectacle of highways filled with sheep being trailed to pastures may be passing in the west.
 Many Washington flockmasters are experimenting with truck trans portation, as new roads now pierce much of the timber country.
 If the experiment is successful, motor transportation may be used to take millions of sheep to high timbered ranges Sheep flockmasters say hauling by truck to terminal points would reduce the present loss of lambs en route.
