Now that the democratic state convention is over and republicans arc making merry at the apparent widening split in the ranks we presume many a man is declaring that now the story can be told There seems 10 be . wide difference of opinion as 10 what actually transpifed at Hartford Ol course. on several topics all are agreed. ConneelI' cuts sixteen votes at the national convention in Chicago will be cast for Alfred E. Smith until he gives the delegation liberty 10 vote for whomsoever it pleases. There is really nothing extremely startling about lbs not if we recall the overwhelming Smith en'hu- siasm here in 1928.
 We have no intention of coming 10 the defense of the so.ealled "old' or new guard as factions of the parties, differing on personalities more than principles, are labeled It would be foolish for us to deny ths' 'bc party s not divided into two camps But we don't believe that this division is such that Il will have a serious effect upon the results next November For fl the results of the Hart ford convention arc closely studied it may be seen that Governor Gross is still the head ol the party in Connecticut just as be made hini' WU TWO yedIS dHO HHVH HS W"' "'HN" " "s come the leader and 10 end tbc reign of Rora' baekism in Connecticut.

Iikers and nature lovers will be inter. estcd in the books on the Long Trail that arc to be issued this summer. We, of Con- nceiieut. were glad to note that the first guidebook in the. series of four will deal with the New England district. Connecticut will have a chapter of its own In this book, IL is being prepared by Professor Edgar L' Hccrmanee of the trails committee, Con. neetieut Forest and Park Association. lt is this organization that has been responsible for the system of trails throughout this state linking most of our state parks and forests and giving Connecticut a connecting route with the Long Trail as it passed over the northwestern corner of the state into New York. The books are to contain not merely information and maps of the Long Trail, which runs down the backbone of the Appalachian mountain chain from Can aga to Georgia. but the numerous linking paths that nature clubs and similar organ izatons have provided, We presume that distances and overnight stops will likewise be enumerated for the benefit of those inter. esled in this form of recreation. The New England Trail Conference is issuing the New England guide book and hopes to be able 10 distribute it by the middle of this summer. It certainly will be valuable addition to anybodys library and a startling revelation on the trails of this section of the country few of which are known only to the ini' tiate.

New Hampshire has just built private bridge on the Manehester-Lawrenee. Masso highway to allow cows to go from their pasturase to their barn. When the present highway relocation was planned property owner offered to sell the state the right of way through his pasture provided 1t would take care of his cows and see that they didn't have to cross the highway. It cost the state S3.oo0 to build the bridge and S275 for the land; whereas the property owner could have collected Si0.000 in the courts had his claims been denied by the state. Now everyone's eontented. even the cows.

HALIBUT BRINGS iii AND 4 CENTS, PRINCE RUPERT
Juneau Prices Probably Better Than Those at
 Canadian Port

For the first halihu5 of the sea- son offered on the Fish Exchange at Prince Rupert, B. C., Ill cents i a pound for first grade and cents ] pound for second grade were the prices paid Monday by successful bidders. Thirty three thousand pounds constituted the amount of the hailings, and this comparative ly small supply is said by Associated Press dispatches to have improved the price"
 In the opinion Of fishing inter- ests in Juneau the Prince Rupert quotations are not any better, if as good, as the returns of 10 cents for first grade and cents for second grade realized on first catches brought to this city last week.
 Leaves For Banks
 The schooner Bonanza, Capt R. A. Ringstad, of Seattle, which put into Juneau for ice and bait, left for the halibut banks yesterday.
 The schooner Magnolia, Capt. H. Nordness, is in this city today. She is on her way to the ley Strait ard Gross Sound banks to take for dl- rect transportation to Seattle catches from boats of the Juneau fleet.
 Week End Shipments
 Shipments of fish over the week end consisted of 10 boxes, or 5000 pounds, of fresh halibut from the Juneau Gold Storage Company, to the San Juan Fishing and Packing Company at Seattle, IA boxes, or 1000 pounds, of fresh halibut from E. E. Engstrom to the Sebastian Stuart Company at Seattle, and 5G barrels of salted black cod from the Cold Storage Company to Hoao lulu by way of Seattle.

OLDEST SAILOR AT 73, HE'S SEEN NAVY
 DEVELOP FROM DAYS OF CLIPPER SHIPS
By WILLIAM MARINE

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Feb. 23.- During his service for Uncle Sam a 73-year-old sailor still on duty here has witnessed the development of a modern navy of stately sup dleadnaughts from group of wooden ships with muzzle- loading cannon lashed to their sides.
 When Chief Boatswains Mate Isaac Otic Castle first enlisted in 1873 the navy was composed of square -rigged clipper ships, with auxiliary steam engines and sheet meal on their sides, the largest of them being 226 feet long.
 When he reenlisted for another four years few weeks ago the navy had in addition to its great battlsships and fleet cruisers two strange looking vessels 888 feet long and driven by electricity from whose flat decks 100 airplanes, brought up from below, could take off within the space of a few min- utes.
 Although he was born October 5, 1858. in Arlno, Wis, and now is the navy's oldest sailor, Castle has not witnessed from the deck of a light ing ship the whole of the great eyosution since his first enlistment.
 He retired from the Navy in 1878, spent 40 years on farm near Salem. Ore, and returned to the sea in 1918 to serve on trans port during the World War
 Castles experiences in the old and new navies, however, form striking contrasts.
 The old navy and the new they are as different as chalk and 1 cheese" Castle says. The organi- zation, discipline, food and accom- modations for the sailors have changed as much as the ships.
 There wasn't much difference in the l870's between enliyting in the navy and signing up for voyage on a merchant ship. And nothing was said about deserting the navy then, providing you had good record.
 The food was terrible compared with what we get in the modern navy, but we though hard tack and salt horse was all right and were satisfied then"
 Despite his 73 years, Castle does not show more than 50 of his years
 T thing that time I spent in the navy nearly 60 years ago helped to preserve me" Castle says. Weak lings didn't live long at sea in those days"
 Castle plans to retire to his farm at Huntsville, Ore, where his fam fly lives, when his 20 years of serv- ice elapse and he is eligible for re- tirement.
