Big Preparations
 For Convention

The Alaska Native Brother hood and Sisterhood of Yakutat and all citizens are busy making preparations for the entertain ment of the delegates to the con- vention which will be held there beginning November 9th.
 Improvements were made by enlarging the Brotherhood hall and new city light installation was made at an approximate cost of $8,OOO.
 T. M. Italio, president of the Yakutat Camp of the Brother hood, is said to be the prime fac tor back of the Improvements.
 While bit out of the lane of steamer traffic, Yakutat is every bit as progressive as any other town in the Division. Perhaps more so, when the disadvantages of the Gulf town are considered in comparison with other towns.
 Fishing conditions at Yakutat were not as good as last year, but the canneries packed 70,356 eases of salmon of which 28,000 were the much desired red salmon.
 Road improvements to cost ap- proximately $2O,OOO have been under way and are nearly com pleted. This adds considerably to the appearance of the town and is a much needed service.
 A new hospital, costing $8,OOo is being constructed under direc- tion of the U. s. Indian Bureau
 The Brotherhood Camps are urged by MT. Italio to indicate as soon as possible the number of delegates and visitors planning to attend the conyention in or der that every care might be pro- vided for the convenience of the guests.

Ask Extension Tie
 Deliuery Time

The Northwest Mills of Sco7 Bay has a contract to deliver 35, 900 ties to the Alaska Rail. road and has been making effor, Ito deliver under some heavy handicaps. Finding themselves unable to deliver complete con. ltract within specified tirle, the management requested ex:en- sion of time but this was not granted.
 Earl N Dinner, mayor of the town and president of the local chamber of Commerce took the matter up with the City Council members and with the Executive Committee of the Commercial Club and they thought an appeal to the Governor of Alaska would be of some benefit in securing an extension of time. A wire was directed to Governor Parks by Mayor Dinner urging his infiu- 'ence in securing extension of time as it would aid in alleviat . ing the unemployment situation in Petersburg. The mill employs over 20 men and the Hungerford Brothers, Loggers, employ over 20 men in their camps.
 Ted Hungerford, it has been stated has offered the city use Of his equipment to get out the necessary logs to complete the contract.
 A reply from Governor Parks is being awaited with more than considerable interest by business pected that the Governor will re- ply as soon as he has had time to hear from the management of the railroad.

Opposition For
 Senator Jones

Reports are current in Wash lngton state that Homer T. Bone Tacoma, has decided to become a candidate for the Republican United States Senatorial nomi- nation and State Senator Fred W. Hastings is entering the lists for Acknowledgements.
 Bone was a former state legiS- latCr and in 1926 was a close con- tendor for the Third Congress sional District nomination and is one of Washington's leading opponents of public OWner1hip of power and other public util- ities and is assured of the SUD- Eort Of that faction in both ot the major parties.
 If Bone files he will no doubt  appeal to that element which has given it's support to Ralph Horr, congressman. Democratic organization leaders are some what concerned in that power ownership advocates Of that party will be inclined to swing their vote into the Republican primary to vote for Bone. A slight defection Of votes will make considerable difference ill the aspirations of Democratic candidates.
