Gomez And Albury Will Go Into
Second Primary; Franklin Out
Niles Runs Away From His
Opponents; CIeare Wins
Over Busto; Papy Far
In Lead

With complete returns in from
Collier, Lee and Hendry counties,
and the 10 precincts in Monroe
checked, results indicate that the
nerve raeking race for state sem
ator from the Twenty-fourth Dis
triet ends with William v. Albury
and Arthur Gomez headed for the
run-off in the Second Primary,
Albury led in every city precinct.
When first results were receiv-
ed from the other counties APP
pearances seemd to show that
Franklin and Gomez would be in
the second contest. But as Albury
crept slowly ahead of his opponent
in Key West, his adherents and
supporters felt relieved and be-
fore the final count were satisfied
that Franklin was definitely out
of the contest.
While Albury received but 933
in the other counties against L.
100 for Franklin and 231O, for
Gomez. his pr ponderance III Mon
roe Of $50 over both Of his OPP
ponents in Key West. resulted in
his being but 1853 behind Gomez
in the district and ahead Of Frank
lin by 262 votes. Gomez receive
ed 1910 votes, Albury. FLAP and
Franklin 1880.
Almost Doubles Both
In the purely local ticket the
surprise count is that Of the lead
ing candidate for county commits
sioner from the Fifth Precinct,
Nathan Niles. His total Is 998
and the combined vote Of Roy
Fulford and r. M. Maloney, the
other two candidates is 999.
This will mean that Niles and
Fulford win 60 into the Second
Primary. unless when the vote is
canvassed discrepancy is found
which would lose two votes for
either Fulford or Maloney, when
Niles would be the winner.
Other candidates who must go
IN TO the run-off on June 90 are
Harry Dongo and Bernie Papy.
The latter's count shows 913 and
Dongo has coo. The other cam
didate, Aquilino Lopez polled 557.

Joe Jackson Again In News

After a short season of ob- scurity insofar as the press is concerned, Joe Jackson, form CT local character and reputed discoverer of the mineral re- sources of Texas Creek in this d;5tYic5s. has again hrokon into newspaper pi'5 mis} anco; .l;.. time at Wrange,l, Alaska.
 Joe, who is also known by his self-chosen non leplumc of Millionaire Kid recently ap- peared at Wrangell enroute to his placer holdings on Thibert Creek in the Telegraph Creek country and gained some new publicity by detailing his ac- tivi.ies to the local newspaper.
 Among other things, Jackson reported that he was taking in a highly perfected type of mo- tion picture ca m era and planned to bring back a dis play of pictures which he de- clared would be in the nature of a treat" He was also said to have a complete projection outfit to show them.
 From which it may be in- ferred that Joe is perhaps de- veloping a new "line" to add to his already ample and iagen- ious store of publicity stunts.

Fien..o. Cutting Mime 'y:rabera

A small crew of Premier em- ployees has been engaged dur ing the past week at cutting mine timbers for the Premier company at a r'oint near the Salmon Ri"ar road several miles north cic town. The work is being done under the direct ion of Charles Goldsburgh and is under the supervision .cf T. H. Evans, who is representing the Forest Service.
 The timber is to be used for mine stulls, which are to be of unusually large size, assumably for use in loose ground. It is unde1-t2od that about 800 of the timbers are to be cut. To facilitate operations, the comp any has constructed a short togging road from the highway into a fine bunch of timber and has built a logging stage at the edge of the highway from which the timbers are loaded onto trucks for transportation to the mine.

Gold 1ake3 Second Piaco
 In A ust Exports

Gold shipments assumed sec ond place on the list of Alaska exports last month, for the first time since September, 1893.
 Merchandise shipments for the month attained a collect. i've value of $1O,243,374, while gold exports during the same period were valued at $654,- 316, according to the monthly statement of the collector # customs.
 The figures represent an in- crease of more than 300 pe: cent. in merchandise ship ments and a reduction of equal extent in gold exports, as com pared with July. The increase in merchandise shipments was due to vastly enlarged exports of canned salmon, which in- creased in value from $2,71O.- 291 in July to $9,753,293 last month, and a marked reduction in fur exports, as compared tc the preceding month. Follow ing is the complete export list and values:

Trophies Intended for

Accident rather than policy has
prevented the hanging Of q big game
heads in the Offices CT members of the
Senate's special Committee on Con-
servation of Wild Life Resources.
Just why the committee, which is
devoted to the preservation of wild
life, consented to accept the donation
from R. w. Everett, Brevard, N. c., is
not known, unless members were
swayed by the fact that the animals
already had been killed anyhow and
their heads mounted.
At any rate, the trophies, including
two sheep heads. eight elk heads,
eight moose heads, two goat heads
and seven deer heads, were to have
been mounted in the offices of the
Senators.
The truck which was bringing them
from North Carolina was in collision
with another machine on the Rich
mond Highway 10 miles north of
Fredericksburg Thursday night and
burned up, along with the heads.
Carl D. Shoemaker, secretary of the
committee, said they had been
presented through Senator Bailey of
North Carolina, and some of them
held world records for size and quality.
William Wilson, driver of the truck,
was slightly burned.
First, we heard that the heads
were coming" said a spokesman for
Shoemaker. Then we heard their
arrival would be delayed, owing to
engine trouble. And then, yesterday,
we read in the newspapers that the
truck had been in an accident and
destroyed by fire and that the heads
were no more"

FAILURE TO PAY
GAS TAX CHARGED
Officers of Independent Oil
Co. Are Faced With
Prosecution.

Officers CT the Independent Oil Co
headed by Leon Arnold, we'll known
as pioneer bus company operator
here. are facing prosecution for al
legged failure to pay taxes on the sale
of gasoline, it was disclosed yester-
day after agents of the District Gov
eminent had filed informations with
the clerk of Police Court.
Warrants for the official were given
to fourth precinct police, but we're
not served because of a petition by
attorneys for Arnold and his aSsoci-
ates that action be withheld until to-
morrow.
Informations were filed at Police
Court after certifcation had been
made to the District Commissioners
that the company was delinquent in
paying to the District gasoline sales
taxes amounting to approximately
$4,000.
As matters stood last night, it
appeared prosecution of the officials
may be withheld if payment of the
alleged taxes was promptly forthcom-
ing. Extensions had been granted
in other cases, 1t was said.
Plans for a drive to force importers
of gasoline to pay delinquent taxes
on the sale of the product here were
mapped out at the offices of the Dis
trict assessor and the corporation
counsel after word was received of
the conviction of Irving Abrams,
operating as the Major Oil & Gas
Corporation, of tax delinquency in a
case at Police Court.
The amount Of the delinquency In
that case was declared to be So, ,982 80
Judge John p Mcmahon, who heard
