 We plan to visit the barracks for several days and study that part of the country" Lieut.. Col Danielson said. We will then re- turn to Juneau in ample time to complete the inspection of this area, which we did briefly during our stay in Juneau northbound and according to present plans will leave for the States on the south bound Yukon.
 All of us are most enthusiastic about this great country of yours, the Colonel said. Tt is marvel ous. We have gained much valuable information from our studies, and upon our return to Juneau and during our stay we will go over the ground here, and we hope to meet many more Juneau people"

EIGHT MILLION CASE FISH PACK
 NOW ASSURED
Total Through Last Satur- day Stands at 7,932,37l
 Cases for Territory

An 5000, ,00o-case salmon pack for Alaska is now assured, according to figures released today by the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries. The pack now stands at 7,932,371 cases, well over the last record year, 1884. when T. 4S1, 900 cases were packed.
 L. G. Wingard, Alaska Agent for the Bureau, before leaving last night on the Widgeon for Petersburg, de- clared there was no question now that the 000,00O-case mark would be surpassed, setting new high record, as figures from upper Clar- ence Strait, which closes the 28th, and the West Coast, which closes the 29th, are yet to come in.
 The figures through last Satur- day reveal that Southeast Alaska had packed 3,710,056 cases and the Southwest 4,222, ,325 cases or total of 7,932,371 cases.

ALASKANS ARE
 C0CNIzANT OF
 PROGRESS MADE
Delegate Reports General Satisfaction with Demo-
 cratic Administration

Arriving in Juneau last night on the Alaska following more than a months campaign trip which took him to Nome, Candle, and various other places in the second Division. an extended stay in the Fairbanks area. as well as many places in the Third Division, Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, said that after personal talks with hundreds of friends. &C., new and old, and speeches in many towns and yil- lages, he was convinced that the Territory as whole realized and appreciated the constructive work the Democratic administration had done for all of Alaska, and that a strong Democratic majority would De registered throughout the Terri- tory.
 The Administrations gold policy
 m particular has brought back greatly Increased mining activity throughout the mining areas and as a result many communities are benefitting from the increased en- ployment and greatly stimulated business, he said.
 The increased road building in the Territory under the Adminis- tration has met with great favor the Delegate said, and general con- ditions have incomparably improved over 1892. Voters, MT. Dimond be- lieves, are we'll aware that this re- covery was stimulated and brought about by the Democratic adminis- tration, and will take no chances when they go to the polls, by voting anything other than the Democra- tic ticket, insuring the continuance of the policies of friendly admin istration toward Alaska.

The Times declined any immediate com ment.
 Mass Meeting
 At the mass meeting last night in the Eagles Auditorium, called to present the Guilds stand on the strike, Mayor John F. Dore said the strike is a battle of all wage earners of the community.

DinlOnd to Get Biggest Vote,
 Boyle Finds
Entire Democratic Ticket Seems Destined to Suc-
 ceed, Auditor Declares

Delegate Anthony J. Dim 0 n d will come out of the Second, Third and Fourth Divisions with the big gest vote ever given a candidate in the Territory"
 This is the statement of Frank A. Boyle, Territorial Auditor, who returned to Juneau last night on the Alaska after a campaign trip through the Interior. The entire Democratic ticket will be elected, MT. Boyle believes, and Dimond undoubtedly will lead the field, he said.
 The present Administrations gold policy has materially added to the prosperity of the entire Territory, the Auditor found, and he noted the results of general improvement in all lines of endeavor.
 The liquor problem, Mir Boyle said, he believes is matter for the Legislature and Congress to handle, but he found little dissat- isfaction with the regulations which have been instituted by the board. On the whole, he reported, it is meeting with favor.
 The people generally" he com mented, seem well pleased with the progress that has been made by the present Administration both nationally and in the Territory and it seems to be they are determined to retain the men in office who stand for such progress and gains for Alaska"
 The Auditor expects to spend the remainder of the time before cleo tion, September g, in First Division points, probably leaving shortly for other cities in the Southeast.

CORE IN TOWN FROM CAMP AICN
 TRIP, INTERIOR
Declines to Comment on Fish Traps-Recognizes
 Rasmuson Election

Declining to comment on fish traps, Lester O. Gore, Republican candidate for Delegate to Congress and former well known resident of Juneau where he was engaged in law practice, was back in his old home town today after arriving from the Westward last night on the Alaska.
 Things are looking up in the In- terior, the candidate who traversed much of the Second, Third and Fourth. Divisions, reported. but, he said, while there is great mining activity there is much need for more roads. Lack of branch roads, par ticularly along the Steese Highway, MT. Gore said, is handicapping min- ing. The big operator, he ex- plained, has money to supply his own roads but the small operator is at a disadvantage and some prop critics can not be worked because of the lack of transportation fa- cilities.
 Landing fields for airplanes would be a big help, lie said. but he feels that further road work is most es- sential. The candidate said he was not familiar with the air field de- yelopment program now being con- sidered for the Territory which would mean an expenditure of vir- tually $3000,OO0 in airport devel- opment in Alaska, but frankly stat ed he believed development of such nature along with roads would be a big boon to mining.
 He advocated removal of the toll from the Richardson Highway and reduction. in freight rates as two of the things which would be of the most good to the Interior, but did not go into details of how he would accomplish it.
 Touching on the liquor issue, the candidate said he believed it could be worked out by law. but that it was a difficult problem to handle.
 Asked as to the abolition of the Liquor Control Board and the pro- motion of Temperance" as advocat- ed in his printed platform, MT. Gore said he believed a solution could be worked out but he believed it would have to have considerable study. sa.s rsei

sion concerning the families in,
vestigated was:
Out of the 488 families with 683
employable persons, 81 per cent
still are unemployed. OF the 38
per cent who are at work, 80 per
cent get salaries of $45 month
or less.
Critics of relief. since the edict
of giving aid only to "unemploy-
ables" was issued last March, have
insisted it was a waste Of money
to keep "employables" on relief
rolls. Welfare officials have in
sisted there is still dire need
among the "employables."
Among the conclusions reached
through the "employable" survey
are:
Eighty-nine per cent are I'M
skilled and II per cent skilled.
The 80 per cent always will need
public assistance.
Many small families applied for
relief, but about half of those in
the "employable" class contained
five Or more persons. The average
in the class was 4.57 persons per
family.
A fifth of all the "employables'
are Handicapped by physical and
mental defects, disease and in
experience, and among mothers
there is constant worry over SUI
pervision of their children.
The investigation also revealed
that most of the families have no
plans for the future except to con-
tinue looking for work. These
families, the investigators re-
ported, now look upon regular EN-
plQyment as somewhat of myth
and upon odd jobs as uncertainties
The investigation disclosed that
while a number of the families
have been receiving aid through
a member being employed in the
Works Progress Administration
there are insufficient jobs in WPA
to care for all families.
