GrOcerS To Publicize
 Alaska's S Salmon Pack

Alaska s greatest industry will be puDlicIzed throughout the United states this September as grocers in all parts of the country unite u celebrate the arrival of Alaska S 0oth new salmon pack. Thousands o1 store windows across the contin- ,nt will display photographic scenes oI the great salmon run, and the lsnIug operations. Newspapers will carry stories of the fisheries, and of .ne Hlgn 1ood values of Alaska $ canned Salmon. National magazine advertisements will feature a Fes- oval menu.
 Fms great nationwide merchand- lsing event, developed by the Can ned Salmon Industry, celebrates the growth of thls industry from a pack of 5000 cases in Alaska in lS75 to a 1886 output which it is expec- ted may approximate the record 1894 pack of more than seven mil lion cases.
 The 5Sth New Salmon Pack Fe5- tival is planned to assist in moving this tremendous supply into con sumers' hands, and draw greater attention to the high food values and low cost of Canned Salmon.
 The great national advertising campaign carried on during the past eight months by the Canned Salmon Industry, through spectac- ular full page advertisements in the nations leading magazines, illus trating dozens of new and attrac- tive uses for the product, has done great deal to educate the Amer ican housewife to the menu possi- bilities of this important sea food. Consumer demand as reflected in decreased stocks on hand, has been steadily mounting during the month of this educational advertising.
 Industry leaders recognize, how ever, that the problem presented by the huge 1886 pack requires spec tacular and sustained merchandising efforts for solution. Food distribu- tors throughout America are well coming the New Pack Festival which draws the spotlight of public interest to Alaska's most important and colorful activity, as a construc- tive plan to move this great volume of Canned Salmon into consumption.

American Takes Own
 Life In CaSSiar Cabin

Oscar Anderson. merchant and UT trader on the Lizard river. Brit 5n ColdmbIa, in d recent letter 10 .t NIaugeu friend. stated that on July 5lst. he called al a cabin oc- eupied by James Henry Wheeler. at the mouth ot French creek on Dease river and found the dead body of Wheeler within the cabin.
 A report of Mr. Andersou's grue- some discovery was made to the po- lice at MeDames and after inYesti- gatiOn a coroners jury returned d verdict that the deceased met death by his own hand
 Wheeler was an American who came from Juneau in 1916 10 the Cassiar.
 Mr. Anderson's letter also con- tained an account of the disappear ance of John W. Baynum who de- pared from Liard Post in August, 1884, bound for Bedrock Bar on the Lizard river, 65 miles down rlver from Lizard Post. Recently Messrs Cornier and McNutt visited one of Baynum' cabins and found a diary the last entry having been made on April 15, 1885.
 Baynum's 1884 and 1885 sea sons trapping catch of furs was hanging up within the cabin IL is believed therefore, that he must have met death by accident in some way, very probably by drowning An investigation of the mystery by the police, MT. Anderson said, will no doubt reveal some information la ter.
 MT Baynum was an American, who went into the Cassiar during the Gold Pan excitement of 1925.

Two High Grade Gold
 Strikes On Valdez Or.

Two high grade quartz strikes have been made in the Valdez creek section, north of Anchorage accord ing to the Anchorage Times, both of which promise to develop into paying mines.
 Two Anchorage men ran into a9- proximately six feet of good ore ill the tunnel they are driving on the left limit of Valdez creek, between White creek and Lucky Gulch. The ore is a white sugar quartz and lies in gold colored schist. While there are some sulphides in the ore, the gold is apparently free. No assays have been made So far but pans tI- ken all along the face yield sensa- tional values. Since locating the vein, the men have run in open cuts covering more than 200 feet and have found the ore in place in all contacts.
 Four men a few days later made surprisingly rich strike on the mountain on the upstream side of Lucky Gulch. h the early days of Valdez Creeks placer boom Lucky Gulch was one of the big producers and one nugget of 5000 valuation under the old price of gold was re- covered from this creek.
 The source of the Lucky Guleh gold was solved when the four men traced the float from the creek to the summit of the mountain and there between two massive lodges of barren bull quartz, found what is undoubtedly the richest quartz lead that has been located in interior Alaska in some time.
 The ledge. a true Assure, ranges in size or width from seven to twelve inches and specimens taken from this lead now at the Lucky Gulch camp will undoubtedly assay several hundred dollars a ton. One piece of quartz picked out of the ledge is the size of condensed milk can. Not less than two ounces of gold are in sight and judging from the weight, the sample alone should yield at least $150.

GORE
 ATTACKS NEW
 DEAL POLICIES

Judge Lester O. Gore, attacked New Deal policies nationally and as manifested in Alaskan problems and declared that Mir. Roosevelt is not a Democrat. He does not represent the Democratic party, and the real Democrats should turn him out of office. Congress is the law making body but Roosevelt demanded that Congress turn the power over to him when the pet measures of his brain trust were declared unconsti~ tutional by the Supreme Court Roosevelt tried to abolish the Court and the constitution which he had sworn to defend.
 Judge Gore declared that graphs of business trends, showed an up- ward swing within 30 days after the NRA was held to be unconstitutional and was abolished and the same was true in each of the succeeding measures abolished.
 He attacked a bureaucratic form of government as being un-American and as having a vicious influence in the commonwealth and showed the piling of bureau on bureau by Roosevelt, whose campaign four years ago was based on lowering of taxes. cutting down bureaus and score of other "principles," |" each and every one of which he had at once repudiated on assuming office. The Social Security Act came in for Judge Cores especial scorn. He de- clared that it was unavoidable and cited many reasons for that asser- tion. His statement that the Town send Plan offered much more that was feasible than the Security Act, was loudly applauded
 Judge Gore said he favored the control by Alaska of it's fish, fur and game The solution of the fisheries question lies in the hands of the people with home rule. We are bet ter able to regulate our resources than any Federal bureau. Alaskans should share in their own wealth. They can't correct Congressional mistakes.
 He questioned Delegate Dimond's sincerity in advocating the abolish ment of fish traps and uoted Frank Bells assuring Alaskans before he left the Territory last month that so long as heI is commissioner of fisheries the traps will not be ab- olished. Judge Gore closed his ad- dress by reiterating that the only solution of the fisheries problem is. to permit the people of Alaska to legislate on that question and byI stating that he advocated the pass age of an act which will require all persons engaged in fishing in AL. aska to be residents of Alaska

 BIG OVATION
 AT.WRANGELL

 He touched On the Democratic Administrations policies. coYerin- a wide range of subjects, briefly be- cause of his limited time. but clear ly presenting his viewpoint on each subject
 The administrations policies have been of great benefit to Alaska. The gold policy increasing the price from S20.57 to $35 an ounce has turned many idle properties in Alaska into producing mines. and by increasing values fer mines already in opera ton, have increased payrolls. There are over l,O00 more men directly employed in mining in Alaska as d result of the gold policy
 The Social Security Act was dis eussed at greater length than any ether issue. Alr Dimond stressiuE the importance or the Act and it's far reaching consequences for good Il is a basic principle of the New Deal. he said that it is the business of the Federal government to take care of its citizens and give econ Cmic security to all
 He pointed out the good accom- l lished by the PWA in Alaska. aul called attention that through it's iun~tiOning Wrangell had been eu- abled to construct a fine water sys tenn. new streets and sewers. and said that a PWA executive had told him that eight million dollars would be available for further work in Alaska.
 He spoke vigorously regardine the work he had done in Congress looking to the abolishment of fish traps and believes that he can make it become an accomplished fact.
 In closing his talk Mir. Dimond expressed his high esteem of the candidates running with him on the Democratic tickets and for himself said "Whatever may be the outcome of the election, however it may go in the territory of Alaska, I have nothing in my heart or mind bEl grateful thanks 10 the people of AL aska for having honored me SO highly and so we'll.
 'I served as your Delegate 'p Congress three and half years ana my term is drawing to close. C. defeated there will be no bitterness in my heart, or on my lips, because l am thankful that the people of Al aska have twice seen fiji to en rust into my hand the highest honor th&t they can confer on any man in the Territory and l thank you a .hous- and times!"
