By the 30th of July the run of pink salmon in the Prince William Sound was on in full blast. Captain" O'Connors, fish cries agent recommended the extension of the fishing season 72 hours in order that the pack CTS might get up their packs. It has been officially noted that the run is one week later than in 1881.
 The run in Icy Straits and Cross Sound was said to have im- proved somewhat but the ap- pearance of the salmon in that district is at least three weeks behind that of last year. By this time last year the Port Althroo Cannery had something like a hundred thousand cases of salm- on put up while by last Friday they had about 3O,0O0 cases put up. The run into the interior waters like Clarence Straits, 'Behm Canal will appear just about the time of closure so that the fishermen and canners Will not benefit to any great extent if the salmon really get that far.
 The run of red salmon in the Bristol Bay section is normal. The present season in South eastern Alaska bears out the statements of fishermen and students of the fisheries that the June, July and early August runs in the upstream" fishing dis tricts have been depleted and that these same fishing districts are over seeded with the later runs of salmon.

Paul Files As
 Independent

Following a conference with various leaders in Ketchikan and Juneau, Wm. L. Paul, Ketchikan attorney, announced that he
 would run as an independent
 candidate for Attorney General
 of Alaska in the election next
 November. He filed his accept
 ance of a petition filed in the Office of the Auditor last April.
 James s. Truitt of Anchorage, incumbent John Rustgard and and Paul now make the scramble for that office a three agair. MT. Truitt is the Demo- cratic nominee while MT. Rust gard is Republican.
 A lot of political conjecturing is being done by the politicians. Truitt predicts that he will win by large majority as the re- turns in the April primary gave him 3,723 votes against Rust gard's 2,940 with Frank Foster drawing 1,430 votes or a total of 647 more votes than Truitt The Democrats believe that they will be able to hold their entire vote while Rustgard and Paul will split the Republican vote.
 Foster drew votes from the section that Rust gard cannot hope to get It is believed in some quarters that the votes of the Indian precincts would have gone Democratic If Paul had not filed which perhaps is one reason why Rustgard was that Paul should enter the triangle. The Democratic leaders scof the idea that any Indian votes would swing Demo- crat as they had voted solid Re- publican in the past.
 If anybody believes that the race is going to be a cut and dried affair with Paul entering the race just to see his name in print might disalusion him. self at an early date. Paul is now making plans for an active campaign which will extend throughout the territory. And no campaign that he ever entered into was without color or cam paign issues.
