Party of Juneau Sportsmen
Get Six Animals at
Tracy Arm

One of the largest wild goats
seen in Juneau in a long time is
on display in the window of the
Thomas Hardware Company. The
animal, slain in the Tracy Arm
district, weighs $40 pounds, and
sportsmen estimate that when 1t
was in a fat condition a few
months ago it would have tipped
the scales at $50 pounds.
The goat is one of six that fell
before the rifles of Oscar Oberg
Simpson MacKinnon, c. E. Krause
and John Hegstad, who left here
on Mr.. Oberg's power boat Hyper
len ten days ago and returned to
Juneau last night.
Snow Covered Plateau
The large animal was trailed
to a snow covered plateau on a
mountain near Tracy Arm and
was first shot by Mr.. Oberg AS
he and Mr.. Krause we're approch-

and charged them. 1t was dropped
for good by bullet from Mr.

the day polishing up the old bus
and we got off to a fine start,
tank full of gas, tackle in the

We had selected Herring Bay, on
the Chesapeake. as we had been
told that the babies we're biting in
that region. And, man, how they
did bite. Wait until you hear
everything.
GOOD ROADS, TOO
We took the old Annapolis
Road through Upper Marlboro.
At Mt. Zion, a bit this side. of the
Maryland capital, we turned right

simple to follow. Good road all

plenty of little boys along the

But did we fish! We put out
from Beale about 4 o'clock and
chugged 1912 miles out. The
boat was the usual Chesapeake
oyster buggy, plenty sea-Wortny,
but a bit rocky.
We just pulled 'em in, one

two on one hook. No fooling.

SPLITS
DEMOCRATS

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, July
Stafford county, recently re-
ferred to by a prominent State
politician as "the political cess
pool of Virginia" is in another
political quandary.
The county Democratic COM
mittee has called off the primary,
the. resolution declaring it is
impossible to hold q fair primary
in the county with the present
electoral board in power.
The electoral board, in the
meantime, has printed tickets
and says a primary will be held.
The county committee, in re-
ply, says that if one is held the
committee will not certify the
candidates chosen to the secre-
tary of the State as the official
Democratic candidates to which
the electoral board comes back
and says it will seek a mandamus,
compelling the committee to GER
tify the candidates.
In the meantime there are two
sets of Democrats in the field for
three principal offices. G. B..
Wallace is candidate for Com
mOnwealth'S attorney, his cousin,
Dan M. Chichester, is candidate
for treasurer, while another can
didate, r.. C. L. MOncure, is can
didate for commissioner Of rev.
enue. They want . primary held.
Other candidates are Nelson N.
Berry, and for treasurer, Lee
Fitzhugh. for Commonwealth at
tOrney. They withdrew from any
primary and said they would
have nothing to do with it. Wade
Moore. merchant, is candidate for
commissioner Of revenue. He did
not enter the primary originally.

merce.
A total of 1858 square miles
of Maryland territory located in
these two counties is included in
the 484.99 square-mile region ad-
jacent Ito the central city of
Washington composing the metro
politan trading district.
Shows Big Gain
This Maryland area contains
74,883 residents, a gain of 29,419
since the 1920 census was taken.
OF this number 31,214 live in
Montgomery county and 1869 in
Prince Georges county.
Population in the sections of
these two counties which are fig
ured as part of the Washington
metropolitan district grew at the
rate of SAT- per cent in the last
10 years.
Montgomery county communi,
ties in 1920 had 17,153 residents
and in 1920 Prince Georges was
credited with 28,311. There are
237.2 inhabitants to each square
mile in the Maryland portion of
the District.
Many Changes Noted
Not all units of the two counties
gained in population in proper
ton, however, as certain sections
show losses, according to the 1890
figures.
Other cities, towns and villages
were not incorporated 10 years
ago, and still others have been
organized in the last decade.
The standard method adopted
by the Census Bureau in deter.
mining the metropolitan area of
the cities of the country with more
than 100000 population density
of population is the principal
feature. This accounts in part
for the splitting of political divi.
sions of the State in computing
the area to be included.

Vacation Reporter Finds
True Fishing Paradise

We stayed out until about $50
o'clock. when we decided to call
it a day and pushed back for
shore.
About starved we stopped on the
way up just out of Marlboro for
sandwiches. Take my advice and
take your own lunch or get back
in time for dinner at one Of the
many eating houses along the
road. The sandwiches cost us
about so cents each, but they
weren't worth it. My day at that
time had cost me Just $3.50. One
of the other guys bought the first
sandwiches. We divided the gas
money, but / am not including
gas on my expense account until
the end of my vacation.
DELICIOUS FATIGUE
1t was o'clock when we rolled
into town. 1 resolved to clean my
catch before turning in and. man,
man, did you ever remove the in
ternal workings of 33 fish? I
did all but about two and then
called it a night. 1t was $3.50
o'clock or thereabouts and I was
all in.
Yesterday / put in the morning
and early afternoon SleeDing, 1t
was 2 o'clock before came to and
called the G.. F. on the phone.
She wanted to know all about the
trip.
I decided I could spare her a
few fish and took 'em over. The
family distributed the remainder
among the neighbors. Maybelle
Jennings, the new dramatic critic
on The Herald got a couple. She
says they were swell. Personally
after cleaning that bunch I didn't
want any of 'em.
The G. F. and I decided to
make yesterday holiday from
vacations and took a short spin
out in the country and back to
town for dinner. Which didn't
include fish.
Yesterday cost me Just $500.
We ate at the Tally-Ho Tavern
at Seventeenth and H Streets.
Sat out in the garden and had a
swell feed for $125 each. Which,
with tip, totalled $500.
My weekend set me back:
Fishing trip with sandwiches $3.50
Sunday dinner with G. F.. $500

LIQUOR
+. CASE HEARD

eases heard before United States
Commissioner J. Frank Parran,
at Upper Marlboro, resulted il
william Rock, of r. B., Md, be-

q charge of illegal sale Of liquor,
while a charge of illegal posses

According to Federal agents

At the time of the raid, only
O few dregS in pint bottle could

Gallantry certainly cannot be
the long suit of Martin Proctor,
colored. of Fort Washington. who
was hailed before Commissioner
Paran on a charge of possession
of liquor after his aged mother
had sold agents a few drinks.
Proctor rented the house in
which a quantity of liquor was
found after the buy. Agents,
thinking he would take the rap
for his mother, were surprised
, when he pleaded not guilty.
Judge Parran explained the situ-
alton to the man in dismissing

ing sale and possession was i'm
mediately sworn out for Sarah
