Jack White Would
 Be COP. Leader

John T. White, Juneau mer- chant and resident of Alaska
 for 32 years, will early next week file his candidacy for Republi- can National Committeeman for Alaska, he announced. The cornerstone of his candidacy will be, he declared, opposition to bureaucracy, and government of Alaska by bona fde Alaskans.
 He is the second candidate to announce his intention to seek he keystone position of the Re publican organization ir. the Territory. E. A. RaSmuson, head of the Bank of Alaska chain, now residing in Cordova, some tlDle ago made it known he would be a candidate.
 He was a candidate for ap- pointment as Urited States Marshal in 1921 when the Re- publicans came back to power after eight years of the Wilson Administration. Two other we'll known residents of the First Division contested the race with hlm, and an outsider, Major George D. Beaumont, was ap- )Ointed.
 Arrested not many moons ;ince, White defended himself against charge of peddling flavoring extracts and wine tonics to Indians. In his divorce suit brought by his wife, Jack was charged with throwing he1 out into the snow without a stitch of clothing on her back Along with other similar wine peddling cases, White won for it is not a crime to sell author iaed products sold mot for bcv- craze purposes" despite the fact that it is sold with tie knowledge that such tonics are used for beverage and not for tonic purposes.

BOATS TO CHART
 ALASKAN COAST

Preparing for resumption of their struggle with Americas Hast frontier" a little band of officers and men of U. s. geo 6etic survey are hard at work i'll lake Union.
 Capt. F. H. Hardy, command CT of the surveys staff, disclosed that this country actually Stil. has hundreds of miles of coast" line unsurveyed, uncharted, ur- sounded.
 It is to work towards complet- ing the mapping of Alaska'S shoreline that the U. s. survey ships Explorer, Surveyor and Discoverer, carrying about 225 officers and men, will sail north again in the spring.
 They are now berthed South- east of Fremont bridge, where 30 officers and skeleton crews are preparing reports on last years work and making ready for this years campaign.
 AItho 1882 orders have not been received, it is believed each ship will resume it's work of 1881: Surveyor to continue taking soundings and mapping shoreline of Kodiak island, DlS- coverer to continue the same work at Cook inlet entrance and around Barren and Shuyak islands, and Explorer to go back to work in Behm canal, south eastern Alaska.

HUNGERFORD BRINGS IN
 WITHERITE ORE

Bud" Hungerford brought 70 town this week from the Rake dlstrict, some fine specimens Of W;therite ore which is said to assay around fifty dollars tne ton. Witherite is an ore allied with the barites and is used eX- tensively in the manufacture Of plate glass and has ready market at all times.
 The ore brought in by Hung erford is found in a section in the Rake district where there is considerable sandstone forma- tiOn and from all indications it is break-through that forma = tion. There is evidence of consi- derable of this ore and with out doubt will be secured .n considerable quantity. T d Hungerford had some of the ore assayed some time since and while quite enthusiastic about the ore is awaiting returns on samples shipped lately.
 
 In the Point Cornwallis dis trict witherite ore was found samples of which are on display in the office of the Territorial Mining Engineer. The ledge of Witherite found by the Hunger lords is of considerable greater extent than the ledge at Corn wallis. If taken up and develop ed by interested companies this will develop into quite bonanza for the owners.

He advised of various changes made in v4te local station equipment to eli- minate insofar as possible radio reception interference. A tele- gram was sent to Delegate WickerSham to hold up any ac- ton on a letter sent him rela- tive to this matter until it was seen how the present change will work out.
 A letter was received by Mir. Dinner, president of the Club, from MT.

CHICAGO SLASHES WAGES IN EFFORT TO KEEP AFLOAT

Chicago began to tighten up on it's purse strings.
 The City Council was respon- sible for the action, having a. dopted a recommendation Of Mayor Anton J. Cermak for a siX-hour day for all municipal employees, except policemen and fremen during the months of January and February, as 6 means of helping the city out Of inc financial mire in which it has found itself.
 Mayor Cermak's monthly check is cut from $500 to $1 : 14O.
 The plan, adopted by the Council, amounts to a wage cut of 20 per cent for employees paid by the month and 27 per cert for those paid by the day.
 Meanwhile, 12,OOO night school students were unable to attend classes because the schools were closed for lack of money, and there was a possibility that the city's 18,000 school teachers might have to take a cut in pay.
 Which leads us to wonder what they will receive on 2015 cut when they get nothing now,

Council Has
 Quiet Session

The City Council met in the City Hall Monday night and the evening was spent discussing radios and wireless station equipment and radio reception interference. MT. Gellatly, re- presenting the U S. Signal Corps was present and gave consider able enlightenment on the op- eration of the telegraphic sys- tenn of Alaska. He advised that Juneau station has had consi derable changes in it's equipment to effect direct communication between that town and Seattle. But the report as to instaila- ton of a complete new system to eliminate the radio static was not true.
 He also reported of correction of defects in the local plant in the way of displacing defective tubes, re-Wiring of motor, all of which aided in clearing the wave bands between 860 aid 1l20 meters, cutting out consj- cerable unnecessary interference.
 AS to eliminating interfer- ence entirely by change of the equipment, that is hardly poT sible but with the various de fects in the plant removed the reception is improved consider ably. Outside of a block from the station the interference which bothered the radio fans heretofore has been eliminated to all practical purposes.

Gamers Pay
 Taxes Early

Although the Territory's cas;l resources at the end of 1934 showed a sharp shrinkage from q year previous, there was still a sizeable fund in the toe of it's old sock on January 1, this year and more had been added to it On the following day, it was re- vealed at Juneau by the finan- cial statement issued covering the month of December by w c. Smith, Treasurer.
 The gross cash balance was shown to be $298, ,92O.92 on De- cember 31. There were outstand- ing warrants in the sum of $33 55708, leaving a net balance of s265, ,363.84.

HOSPITAL MAKES FINE
 REPORT

At the last council meeting, the hospital board made it's an rual report for the year ending Hecember 31st. The Board show ed that there was a total re- caipts of $5154.90 with disburse- ments totaling $435875, leaving a net balance of $79615. The average monthly income was $422.50 with a monthly expense of $36023. The Board feels that the report is very encouraging end appreciates the support giv- en the hospital by the citizens of the town.
 The hospital being a purely local proposition, operated not as a profit making concern, it will be appreciated if generous hearted citizens would donate to the larder, fruits, and pre- serves and other practical things Of general utility in a small hospital. This would assist con- siderably in keeping expenses Gown to a minimum and insure continuation of operation of this institution which is in fact a real asset to the town.

CORDOVA MAN OUT OF LUCK

The Associated Press member in Oil City, Pennsylvania, says the Cordova inheritance story in which H. E. McDaniel said lie was notified he had over half a million dollars coming to him from the estate of the late President Buchanan, is similar to several stories in northwest ern Pennsylvania two years ago.
 No one was ever able to find the estate. Five persons in diff ferent towns were notified of the Buchanan split-up bu | nothing ever came of it.
 The A. P. bureau in Philadel- phia says that on June 8 last year the registar of wills re- ceived a request from a Cleve- land man for information con- corning the estate, saying he was an heir, but nothing was known in Philadelphia of the estate of James Buchanan.
 From IngleWood, California, came a request asking a Pitts burg court to help find tho heirs so the estate involving 9 99-year lease of California pro- perty could be settled.

Hoover Attack
 Brings Rebuke

The powerful administration pressure brought to encompass the political extermination of Congressman Louis T. McFadden Of Pennsylvania since his sensa : t1Cnal attack on President Herbert Hoover's moratorium motives provides an excellent exhibition of how the patronage system, one of the most import ant wheels in politics, actually operates.
 Republican members of con- gTess possess patronage when they are permitted to guide pre- sidential appointments of fed eral judges and district attor- l:eys, marshals, internal revenue collectors and deputies, custor15 and immigration officials, prohi- bition agents, ministers and am- kaSsadOrs, postmasters, rural mail carriers and other classes of federal employees.
 Friends Lose Out
 McFadden has more than 200 rostmasters in his district and st least as many rural letter carriers. After this, because of an agreement among Senators Dave Reed and Jim Davis, the White House and Postmaster General Brown, only political enemies of McFadden will be ap- pointed to these jobs, which ara ow occupied by his friends. If he is reelected, they will all be filled by his active political foes within four years.

 Ketchikan Court Records In
 Tangle
 Judge CuShman yesterday warned United States Commis- sioner w. C. Arnold in Seattle that records could not be brought from Alaska without court order and he therefore re- fused to permit the government to introduce them as exhibits which were taken to Seattle by Arnold as evidence against Conrad Wolfe, now charged with fraud through the U. s. Mails. This court will not receive these records. It will not take original records from another court in htis way How can ft clerk of an Alaska court, if called upon, make certified re- cord of anything desired from these records? This court cannot and will not permit such an un- authorized removal of govern nent records"
 United States Attorney Saw age explained that since the re- cords were brought to Seattle, Judge Justin ". Harding of the U. s District Court, First Divi- son of Alaska, had cabled his authorization. Judge Cushman refused introduction of the re- cords nor would he allow certi- fled copies from them, taking the position that only clerk of the court in Alaska could make certification.
