though there is no legal restric'

Glenn l.. Martin Company, OF

The departments policy was
announced by Joseph p. Cotton,

diplomatic relations by the United
States.

Democratic Candidate for Auditor Carries Vote
 Drive to South

Enroute to Ketchikan to carry his campaign for Auditor to the south ern end of the Division, Thomas Gaffney, Nome, Democratic nomi- nee for that office, left here last night on the steamer Queen. He expressed the utmost confidence in the outcome of the election.
 T am highly gratified with the reception my candidacy is receiv- ing in Juneau and vicinity, and generally pleased with the assur- ances of support have been given by Juneau voters" he declared. He probably will return here before election day to wind up his cam paign.
 MT. Gaffney is relying very large ly on personal contacts with the voters. Up to the present he has confined his campaigning entirely to that method. Since leaving Nome last July he has visited every one of the larger communities, spending several days in each, and has not made a single political ad- dress.
 He plans to spend several days in Ketchikan, and will cover the district adjacent to the First City. Later he will visit Wrangell and Petersburg for a few days, then probably return to the north end for visits in Haines, Skagway and Petersburg.

BULBS AND BULB PRICES

Most of our bulbs have now ar rived and we have a large supply of bulbs for corcing and fall plant ing. All are of the best grades and highest quality obtainable. Buying direct from growers enables us to make our prices somewhat less than those asked by dealers in the States as the comparison below shows.
 In the comparison we have Tul- ips, for all reliable dealers handle the same grade, hence prices are strictly comparable. This compari- son is made with a Philadelphia seed firm, doing, perhaps, the larg- est mail order business of it's kind in the country and also of seed house doing a large wholesale and retail business and importing thou sands of cases of bulbs every sea- son, with stores in New York and Chicago. One in each of several classes of Tulips with prices are as follows:
