Souiets Building
 54 Canneries

The Big Five in the Alaska salmon industry has had it's own way for a long time. They have WhirSaWed the little producer, fisherman and trapman until they were dizzy and were pushed out of the picture. They have secured monopoly of Alaska's salmon resources, especially in Bristol Bay by use of soldiers script and prevented any new companies entering that field they have held exclusive mono poly of Bristol Bay for 27 years. By use of the Welch Bill-sup- ported by Henry O'Malley, they tiled to kick out of that section three floating canneries with a pack last year of less than two per cent of the Bristol Bay pack. The bill no doubt will be killed by the committee on Merchant Marine. Radio and Fisheries.
 Just how long this exclusive monopoly is going to be worth anything is a question. The So- viet government has built in the past few years 24 canneries with . capacity of 25o,oOO,OOO cans. They plan construction of an additional 59 canneries so that they will be acie to can over 12,0OO,O0O cases of salmon. With more fish in Siberia, cheaper labor, the Soviet government back of the production-it looks like the Alaska packers VIII have to turn to the federal government for subsidy to con- t;nue their own operations.
 The plan of the Soviets is to construct those 59 canneries within the next year The plans include 8 shore and 16 floating canneries in the Caspian Sea basin; ' floating crabmeat can neries and 14 shore canneries in the Pacific basin; and 14 car- neries in the Northern and Si- Eerian districts.

SMALL TOWN POLITICS

There is a lot of political hooey going the rounds of the town. It is bitter and acrimoni- GUS in some quarters and de, vious questionable tactics are being used.
 It is stated that in event MT. Locken is elected mayor of the town he will forthwith close up the library. Much has been sad of MT. Locken but it has never come to our ears that he has so little regard or respect for Mrs. Locken as to wipe out with a stroke of the pen the culmina tlon of her effort to give to the town a library. Mrs. Locken it was who pressed the idea Of starting the library and worked until it eliminated in the pre- sent institution which is being used by many citizens.

The build ing is started, and the material iS there and if there are any funds in the treasury there is rot a bit of doubt but that the building will be completed. It would be a waste of money to let the building go to ruin. And MT. Locken is sufficiently inter ested in the youth of the town to make effort to give them all the facilities necessary to their school work.
 MT. Clausen is made an issue Or his job is. Why this should have been given any thought is a mystery to us. MT. Clausen has been the recipient of more favors from MT. Locken than any other person in town. No expression had been made that g new city clerk would be hired in place of incumbent. Perhapc there is a guilty feeling of hav- ing done MT. LOcken a wrong by rushing order for printing oi election ballots with his namc emitted. Anyhow, no person has a mortgage on any position oe it elective or appointive. We are citizens of a republic and not q and such occasions arc a part of a democratic govern nlent. So far as declaring that he intends to fire MT. Clausen, E1r. Locken has not announced any such plan. Rather he points out that the council considers the applications for city posi- tons, votes upon and elects or rejects applications. That the mayor is a chairman ruling up on parliamentary questions.

Steamship Company
 Loses Suit for Relief

Taking the position that the congressional fund for the relief and protection of destitute sea- men had for it's object the relief of seamen and not steamship companies, Federal Judge Jere- miah Neterer in formal deci- sion dismissed the suit of the Alaska Steamship Company a. gainst the federal government for $397.2O. This sum represents the cost of transporting thirty five shipwrecked seamen from Ketchikan to Seattle. The men were from the steamship Deprce of the Alaska Steamship Com : pany, which was wrecked De- cember IS, 1929, near Port Me- Arthur, Alaska. The crew was taken to Ketchikan by the de- putty collector of customs and there cared for until the steam ship Yukon of the same conl- pany arrived and transported them to Seattle. Judge Neterer holds that is was the duty of the company to bring the men back to Seattle and that under the provisions of the act it is not entitled to payment.

Death of Long Lance
 Is a Mystery

County authorities were un- decided on whether to order an inquest into the death of Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance, of Los Angeles, 36-year-old Indian author, who was found shot to death in the palatial home of Anita Baldwin, daughter of the late Lucky" Baldwin, mining magnate.
 A revolver which police said belonged to Chief Long Lance was found near the body which bore a bullet wound in the head. Although authorities said the Indian had ended his own life, Frank A. Nance, county coroner, said he was waiting word from a physician who was called when the body was found.
 Chief Long Lance, who enter cd Carlisle Indian School in 1909 after appearing in Buffalo Bills Wild West Show, had been a frequent visitor at the Baldwin estate. He was a friend of Jim Thorpe, noted Indian athlete, who told authorities he had re- ceived a letter a week ago from Long Lance in which the au- thor gave no intimation of worry or despondency.
 Servants at the Baldwin home told police Long Lance had been drinking heavily.
 Long Lance was appointed to West Point Academy, resigned. Joined the Princess Pats of Canada and was a Capt. in the World War serving with dis tinction.

Last week we printed eX- cerpts from a letter published by Mayor Dinner relating the plans to extend the hydro-e'Cc- trio power plants capacity by "an auxiliary power plant in stalled in several units" We omitted a short qualifying para graph, but did so Intentionally. It is vehemently pointed out to us that we had misquoted the statement.
 In advancing the idea of the auxiliary diesel units total of 474 words were used. In qualify ing this proposed extension 105 words were used a part of which suggested the idea of improving the high tension line by adding new poles, iron pegs and cross arms.
 The closing statement was that If the new council follows the attitude of the old council, I believe that the program will be carried out about as out lined"
 It is generally conceded by those who have given this mat ter serious, analytical study, that the qualifying paragraph was a back-door escape in event there was any opposition tO the plan. That otherwise, the extension of the plant by pur- chase and installment of the diesel units would go on as had been discussed by the council. The matter having had more or less favorable reaction in coun- Gil, many believe that the new council will take the matter ID and follow it out as about out Iii1ed

 Notes for Demos

 Saying he personally indors- ed these notes purely as a mat ter of accommodation to these gentlemen" Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national com mittee, asserted in a statement he would pay any amount the County Trust Company is un- able to collect.
 The company is suing Mara for payment on a $50,000 note and Kenny on a $2O,OOO note.
 In their answers to the suits, Mara and Kenny, Yonkers con- tractors, asserted they signed the notes as an accommodation to the County Trust Company in furtherance of what they term ed a fraudulent scheme by the trust company to conceal con- tfibutions to the 1928 Democrat ic campaign fund.
