SALMON CONSERVATION
 |s AN ASSURED FACT

Declaring that the fisheries of Southeast Alaska are apparently in excellent condition so far as he could judge from personal ob- Servation in several of the areas and learn from personal contact with fishermen and other local residents, Senator Wallace M. White expressed qualification at the situation, just before leaving Juneau for Seattle on the Fish cries vessel Brant.
 T am confident that Commis- sioner Henry OMalley of the Unit ed States Bureau of Fisheries, has solved your salmon conservation problem and is rapidly restoring the runs to normal size," Senator White said.
 As the author of the present Alaska Fisheries Law, popularly known as the White Act of 1924, the senator has said he Is more than casually interested in the Territory's fisheries resources and the industry that is built up around them, reports the Juneau Empnire.
 He saw Well-filled streams, large numbers of salmon on the beds and the main run of pink salmon still coming in from the ocean. He visited canneries which were op- erating at capacity and still un- able to clear their bins.
 Records of the Bureau of Fish cries show the take and escape ment this year, the off cycle year, to be larger than in 1927. While so far this season, there has been no great surplus of fish, the runs have been good and apparently in- sure an adequate seeding of the beds for the next cycle in 1883.

ALASKA HAVING CURRENT
 RETURN TO PROSPERITY

One of the most hopeful signs for the future of the Territory is the return to prospecting for and developing of gold properties now being manifested, declared w. A. Hesse, Territorial highway engi- neer, who returned to Juneau re- gently from two and one-half months inspection trip that car ried him as far north as Seward Peninsula.
 While it cannot be said that conditions are rosy any place I have been able to visit, this mani festation of activity in the gold mining industry is very encourag- ing" MT. Hesse said in the Ju- neau Empire.
 Development work in the Will low Creek district is particularly encouraging, and there is more activity in gold lode properties in the Fairbanks district than there has been for great many years. The yield from lodes there is the greatest in the history of that camp.
 Mine gold dredges are in opera tlon in the Fairbanks region. The prospects are bright there for successful season."

Word has been received in Cor dova that MT. and Mrs. Thomas Veyig, who have been exhibiting the Glacier Island mammal skel- eton throughout the country are now headed west and will return to Alaska within the next few weeks. It is reported that they have had enough" of the Outside and will be glad to return north, says the Times.

PROSPECT HEAD TAKU

To locate and prospect an ore deposit somewhere near the head waters of the Taku is the purpose of "Three-Fingered Bob" Marten, we'll known mining man whose ad- ventures in the upper Liard coun- try last winter received wide pub llclty, says the Juneau Empire. A vast deposit of low grade ore which Marten has heard Cassiar miners tell about is the lure that drew him from the East. He is financed by packers in New York.

Forty thousands pounds of fish, which could not be sold to can- nerieS or fresh fish buyers in Ket- chikan, were thrown into Ketchi- kan bay by the fishermen. The heavy run of fish has swamped the canneries and all other fish handling plants, reports the Ket- crikan Chronicle.

Always there's that secret

You and I don't want to die.
Why? Because we're afraid
we'll STOP If we die. We're
afraid we'll stop when the body
stops.
We believe in the body. We
can touch, see, hear. smell, or

We Get Religion
Religion, to console us, tells
us men do life after death. Live
in Heaven-maybe as angels.
So we get religion. And sing
joyful hymns about eternal life.
But secretly we don't mean a

Two Power Commissions = By Claude G. Bowers

While some Of our politi-
clans would have it otherwise,
there is every reason to look
for Some lively battles on the
power question, both in Wash
ington and Albany, before the
coming winter SHOWS have
melted.
Mr.. Hoover, with a judicious
gesture, has appointed his new
Muscle Shoals Commission to
get the power question out Of
politics with a recommendation
so commanding because of its
source that the people will hail
it as the true solution.
Soon after it was appointed,
with much eclat, Secretary
Hurley, whose views on the
rights Of the consumers in
power matters are those Of the
President, journeyed into the
region Of the water power to
make a speech.
It was a very lofty, states
manlike speech. Much money
had been spent on Muscle
Shoals. It was not making any
money for anyone.
This was because Of politics.
But the new commission Just
named would settle all that.
At length politics had been di-
vorced from the question. En-
gineers and business men,
thinking, Of course, in terms OF
the farmers, would find q way.
And so we fold our hands
and wait.

President Entered
A Primary Fight

A Primary Fight
There certainly can be no
question about it since the last
election. Just before that elec-
tion Representative Reece Of
Tennessee became the Spokes-
man and representative Of the
Administration on the power
question. He rather lost caste
on that account with his col
leagues on the congressional
delegation from Tennessee; but
what was infinitely worse, he
lost caste even with his own
party in his district. The peo-
pie there were not with the
President on power, and so they
brought out a candidate against
Reece for the nomination.
Then, so important is power,
an unprecedented thing was
done. The President of the
United States entered a pri.
mary fight in a far-away dis
trict in behalf Of an obscure
man, Of no great weight-for
Reece, He wrote a letter in his
behalf; and even with the sup
port Of the highest station in
the world, Reece barely got the
nomination.
At the election he was over
whelmingly defeated.
