WickerS1an1 Heads
 West Division Way

Judge James WickerSham, Re publican candidate to succeed Delegate Dan Sutherland, left Juneau on the morning of Mar ;il 26th for a campaigning trip to the Third and Fourth Divisions. If any of the voters to the wes.- ward want to take political shot at him, they will have an opportunity. If occasion arises, he will hold several meetings. But he proposes to return to the First Division at least a week before the election-in ample time to cause cOnSternatiOn among his opponents who may attempt to malign him during his absence. The Judge is pos sibly the best and ablest cam paign speaker in Alaska, and with an an unaSSailable record after twelve years in Congress, he is ready at all times to meet FRIENDLY foes in the political arena.

 seth and Sam Gauffin are the
 incoming councilmen; Dr. Rude

 while Mrs. Harold Lee received

 year term, vacant on the school board.

Alice Norberg, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Charley Norberg of Petersburg, is feature being presented the film fans at the MacGregor Theatre this week.
 Three years ago Miss Norberg went to Hollywood, Calf, where she took picture tests and made a high rating out of group of twelve hundred taking the tests. Later when the sound projec- tionS went on the billing, she took the tests before the mike" and again headed list of three hundred taking that test.
 The present billing is a silent projection but it will give a fair idea of the petite lass ability be- fore the screen.
 The progress of Miss Norberg in the film world is being watch cd with great interest and pride by all of her friends who expect much and hope for a great deal for her.

Knight Meets With
 Favor, All Divisions

It appears that the candidacy of Frank Knight, for the Repub'- lican nomination for Territorial Treasurer, is meeting with favor Tn every section of Alaska. The Anchorage Times, of the issue of March 9, says:
 Speaking of politics, it will be pleasing to the voters of the Third Division to know that their candidate for Territorial Treasurer, Frank l.. Knight, of Anchorage, is receiving as surance of strong support in the First Division as we'll as at home and in other localities where most of the voters are personal " acquainted with him."
 So far as the First Division is concerned, it is generally accept ed by those who are keeping tab on the political sentiment, that MT. Knight will carry the First Division by a substantial major ity. It should not be less than 500 and will most probably be considerable more. With the vote that he will undoubtedly get in the Third and Fourth Divi- sionS, MT. Knight will be the nominee of his party by such a large majority as will assure his election on November 4th.
 At this time, The ALASKAN predicts that every candidate receiving it's support, in the pri- maries, will be nominees of the Republican party in the Novem- Der election. The following tick ct is being supported: James Wickersham, Delegate to Con- gresS; Frank L. Knight, Terri torial Treasurer; Cash Cole, Auditor; w. K. Keller, Commis- sioner of Education; Joe Ulmer, Highway Engineer; Will A. Steel, Senator; J. E.. Johnson, William L. Paul, Peter Somner, Grover c. Vim, House of Representa- tives; P. F. Gilmore, Divisional Road Commissioner .. ..

An Open Letter to
 John Rustgard Re:
 Priuate Contracts

what you mean when you claim to have made an effort to get a copy.
 Altho I cannot see where you as Attorney General for the Ter ritory have any interest in a contract that does not concern your office or the Territory, you could easily have seen the con- tract by going to Judge Wicker Sham's office or by asking me for the same. And since you have not asked for copy, I won der what you mean by telling the public that you have "en- cieavored to get a copy of that contract but have failed"
 As for Several Indian friends" of yours "who are mem bers of the Brotherhood" and who also have endeavored to get copies but have failed" I have personal knowledge that sever al Indians whom you believe to be your Indian friends" have copies of that contract. I will leave it to you to determine why they have not given you the same IF you requested them for 9 copy as you claim.
 Nj. Yours very truly,
 William l.. Paul.

steadily been losing their rights. They are being crowded out of the fisheries business and now they are fighting for their rights in the northern part of Alaska. "They are entitled to prior consideration in the licensing of land for grazing. I believe com mittee of the Senate should make a thorough investigation of the matter and report recom- mendations for settlement.
 'If the senate does not choose to make such an inquiry, I be- lieve the Secretary of the h. terior, with two of his assistants, should constitute a board to make such an investigation"
 pr. Mathews will make every effort to have this controversy investigated.
 It is not improbable that the Presbyterian Church will get be- hind the effort to have the mat ter investigated as it has pe- 'culiar interest in the industry Rev. Dr. Sheldon Jackson fath- cred the idea and solely thru his efforts were the first reindeer brought into the country.

 Dear MT. Rustgard:
 Your circular letter states:
 "I have endeavered to get a copy of that contract (between the Alaska Native BrOtherhOOd) but have failed. Several Indian friends of mine who are mem bcrs of the Brotherhood and who were delegates to the con- ventiOn have also endeavOred to get copies but have failed, thot they were entitled to copies. The Grand Officers keep the matter 3 profound secret, and II dare the gentlemen interested to let the contract be made public.
 The facts are certain: you have never asked me for a copy, and you have never asked Judge Wickersham for a copy.
 Furthermore. every native who requested a copy of that contract from me has received the same by return mail.
 Furthermore, there are at least two copies in every native village. I have wondered just

 Fuss Over Name

Since the beginning of this year, Norway's third largest town Trondjhem-has been re- named Nidaros. This was due to a resolution passed in the Stortinget. Matters did not end here, however. The population of Trondhjem protested violent ly against the resolution chang ing the name of their beloved town, and they made the affair political issue.
 Then scientists got busy, ex- amining old documents and re- cords to try to discover whether the name Nidaros was an older name than Trondhjem, but they could not reach an agreement The municipality was unani- nous for retaining the name of Trondhjem and demanded that the StOrtinget revoke the former resolution and return their town it's original name.
 Both the first and second chamber debated the question the former passing a resolution that the original name should be returned to the town, the latter that the present name should be retained.
 The matter again came before the first chamber, which voted as before. The second Chamber also voted as before. According to the constitution, the affair must now be discussed before g general meeting of both houses As motion here must have a two-thirds majority, it is certain the present name of Nidaros vii be retained.

CT fishing season; (5) What is true of the necessity of limiting fishing licenses, is also true of limiting cannery licenses issued, the greater then will be the amount of gear in the water, thereby continuing the vicious circle of more fishermen and fewer fishing days, also as we'll as less fish for each cannery, although overhead expenses re- main the same. Conservation without economical production is of no value to either the fish ermen, operators or the public at large.
 Recognizing these facts and with the view of enabling the whole industry to get back to a stable basis, we propose for the next five years to restrict can- nery and salmon dry saltery i- censes to those plants already in existence and which were op- erated and or licensed in 1928 and 1929. These licenses will be issued on the condition that they only receive fish from a lim- |ited number of gillnets and (or) Seines in a given area
 (Editorial note: Traps are pro- hibited in Canadian waters as its use is believed contrary to public policy. Therefore, while the new restrictions appear tc name only movable hand gear, ii applies generally)
 "If what have said is true o1 the salmon industry, the same also applies to the pilchard re- duction and herring dry salting Fearing depletion of pilchard.
 and herring, the Dominion anc Provincial governments are nov
 conducting an investigation in, 1 to these two industries. Unti
 the findings of this investigation
 are brought down, we intend tt
 adopt the same policy toward jreduction plants for pilchards.

Canadians Issue Regulations
 Protecting Entire Industry

The Dominion Government has issued new regulations af- fecting the fishing industry with the view to protecting existing investment, fishermen engaged in the industry and to conserve the supply. By these regula- tions an end is made of compet- itive effort by limiting gear and equipment with which the indus try is overburdened.
 For period of five years the issuance of licenses will be linn ed to salmon cannery and dry saltery operations to plants now in existence, to those operated Ill 1928 and 1929; the issuance is made with proviso that each plant will secure fish only from 8 limited or designated amount of gear; failure to comply with this requirement to result in the withdrawal of licenses. Similar restrictions are made on reduc- ton plants pending the outcome of present investigations; no re- striction on fresh fish or freez- ing operations.
 Commissioner of Fisheries Howe at an open meeting in Vancouver declared that CD There is more or less fixed sup ply of fish; (2) to conserve that supply the Federal Government must endeavor to permit by le- islation and regulation, ade- quate escapement of fish; (3) To acheive that object the Fed eral authorities specify the max imum number of fishing licenses that may be operated in an area to maintain the minimum 48 hour weekly closed period. If the maximum number of licens- es is exceeded, then the Federal authorities impose an added weekly closed time of anywhere up to another 48 hours, leaving only three days fishing. (4) IL is obvious that with an exces- sive number of fishermen the loss will be the proportion o1 the supply for each, with con- sequent decreased earnings; but on the other hand should the number of fishermen in any one district not exceed the number set by the Dominion Govern ment as necessary for conserva. tion for that district, each fish. elman not only secures a fail return of that supply but avoid. penalizing himself with a short.
