New York, Oct. 7.-UR)- The
first 100000 share day in the
stock market since early in the
wear found the average price OF
stocks advancing today to five
year highs despite heavy profit
taking.
Sales totalcd 3,O27,4OO shares,
the heaviest since February 20 and
the number of issues traded, 933,
was also the best since that date.
But after the market had scared
in early trading, profit-taking cut
into the list appreciably and the
close was no better than irregu-
lar.
The market was q curious one,
which left the traders L little hcsi-

from division to division. This lea
dership is sustained. But near
midday and again at the close
utility shares were Whirlcd up.
They have been laggardS. Profess

a push. But the midday move
ment was short lived. Thus the
closing burst was totally uncX-

ment was:

And traders consequently were
inclined to let tomorrow show
whether the utility movement is
sustained one that will carry the
market higher or whether the pro-
fit-taking recession expected the
last few days had arrived.
The active movement here CO.
incided with active markets
abroad. In London industrial and
railroad favoriteS went high for
the year. In Rome stocks were bid
up sharply. Paris trading contin-
ued active.
The wealth of favorable news
continued. Steel production WaS

HISTORY WARNS
AGAINST GUESS
ON N. DIS VOTE

WASHINGTON, July 28.-Any-
one interested in the troublesome
mathematics of politics, might take
North Dakota.
The recent primary there brought
out $4,000 Republican votes and
$1,000 Democratic votes. But to
say that indicates North Dakota
already is herded into the Repub-
lican corral is to invite a display
of many figures which simply cry,
Not so, not So"
Republicans in North Dakota
long have been looked upon as in
dependent. AS a measure of that
independence, it might be recalled
that in 1882 the state gave Presi-
dent Roosevelt a $1,000 vote ma
jority and Senator Nye, Repub-
lican, about the same.
just to make the problem more
complex, there has been split
in Republican ranks along new
lines which was demonstrated by
the primary to be as nearly fifty
fifty as it is possible to make it

ALASKA PILOT
VISITS JUNEAU
AND old PALS
Capt. Hans Bierd, Now on
Virginia, Was Once Pilot
of Mailboat Georgia

A Juneau visitor is Capt. Hans
Bierd, oldtime Alaskan navigator
and now pilot on the Cord yacht
Virginia, who is making the rounds
Just shaking hands with old
friends"
Captain Bierd came to Alaska
first in 1898 For many years he
was pilot on the Georgia, Juneau
Steamship Company mailboat which
served Skagway, Sitka and way
points. While on this vessel Bierd
assisted in removing the passengers
from the stranded Princess May on
the rocks in Lynn Canal. Later he
was on the Rustler, another Jul
neau-Lynn Canal boat.
After leaving Alaska in 1911, he
was commanding officer on the
Bureau of Fisheries boat, Roosevelt,
which during 1916 in the Boring
Sea saved 762 lives when a fleet
of cannery boats was frozen in, in
an unusually early freeze-up.
For a number of years after that
Capt. Bierd was associated with the
Grace Line of New York, having
been commander of various of their
SHIPS. Now the Captain lives in
Seattle and pilots on Puget Sound
and in Alaska waters.
