 Big Run-Gdmble
 Unique in every respect, the gam ble of a big run. or few fish, open or closed season, the thirty days to make a stake for the year or not, for the fishermen, or to lose or make fortune by the packers, the red salmon fishing in Bristol Bay is the most colorful, exciting fish ing season in all the world.
 But averaging the good years with lean, it continues to aid material ly to the support of an apprec- fable part of Alaska's population, and through the stakes" m d e there many have gained more sta- ble and secure livlihoods, contrib uting to the gradual but consist ent growth and progress of the Territory.

FARMERS LOOK NoRTHwARD

Farmers in the dust bowl of the Middle West, discouraged by the lack of rain since 1881 and the continual failure of crops, are all ready to move to Alaska at the first opportunity, according to a letter received in Anchorage from Moose Johnson, Chulitna man, who is now visiting in Kansas. Johnson reports that everywhere he goes he is swamped with questions regard ing the chances of making a living off the land in Alaska. Johnson also reports that all the farmers in the Middle West are hoping that Roosevelt is elected again

Spend Three Million

How much of the three million is already spent is of course some thing that could hardly be guessed, though 1t is still minor part, for more than two thirds of the money is earned by the Outside fishermen, and as these pay off in Seattle and San Francisco, they have in most cases not yet collected their mon ey. That a fair percentage of these Outside pay-checks go the same way as some of the Alaska residents earnings may be sur missed from the scenes around the canntry offices in San Francisco and Seattle. A string of automo- piles and taxis can be seen stretch ing for three blocks around the Alaska Packers office at Al Cali fornia Street in San Francisco on "pay-off" day In these taxis and private cars are the wives and sweethearts and long-haired chums of the fishermen, each one appar- ently seeing to it that she keeps her eye on the payroll when it emerges from the office.
 Great Setting
 Bristol Bay lies just above the Alaska Peninsula at the lower part of the Bering Sea. Beginning with few canneries in the sos, it rap idly came to the front as the prin- cipal source of Americas canned red salmon, and for years has been the undisputed world leader in this field. This years pack was ap- proximately 1,400,00e cases, which though nearly 100000 cases short of the 1884 pack, is still a better than average yield. Last year the district was closed except for a limited pack to give employment to

With a $3,O000O0 payday turned loose from Nome to San Diego, the Bristol Bay salmon fishing season of 1886, the blue ribbon event of Alaska's annual fisheries har- vest, is rapidly passing into his- tory.
 It is a saga of speed from the minute the first drift is made at o'clock in the morning June 18th until the closing day. The season extends exactly one calendar month closing at a. m. July 25.
 A few of those who make it fast, feel they must spend it the same way.
 Probably in the forty years of Bristol Bay fishing, the all-time speed record for spending was made this year by one who shall here be known as Russian Pete, because that is not his name. He got paid off July 25 with $2,000 and awoke on the 26th at Anchorage $50 miles away, with nothing left but a headache.
 Run For Money
 Most of the fishermen get a better run for their money. With a few of them it lasts only a week or two. but many others send it home to buy furniture, supplies, food, clothing and things for the family. Some start on trips to the Old Country Others go in for sight seeing rides around Alaska, by air. plane, boat and automobile. It de- bends upon what merchandise is handiest when the money is there to be spent. This year one man got started poking holes in punch boards, and bought out all that could be found in Naknek, finish ing with stack of candy and silk pennants and pocket knives and radios.

HENDAYE. France, Aug. 28.-I
have had to dodge bullets, and
once even a shell. in a French
town along the Spanish border
during the last two days while
watching the bitterest fighting i'm.
aginable in the battle for posses
sion of Irun.
But it's not every day you can
see a civil war, so I am taking
chances.
One of the best lookout stations
near here is a farmhouse half a
mile above Behobie where farmer
is selling space to spectators to
watch Spaniards kill one another.
The insurgents have been throw
ing black Moroccan troops into
the fighting in the last 48 hours.
Sight for Tourists
Many Americans are among the
tourists watching the Irun fight
ing from the nearby border.
French mobile guards have cut
off automobile roads around many
villages nearby, such as Behobie,
because Of stray bullets. Neverthe-
less, tourists, including Americans,
still come to watch Spain's civil
war.
It's dreadful to realize what the
casualties must be in the fighting
Just a mile away.
It's obvious from what I saw
that no quarter is being given
anyone on either side.
The Basques are furious be-
cause MoroccanS have been sent
against them, and the MoroccanS
think one man is just as good as
another for killing purposes.
White troops mostly have been
withdrawn by the insurgents. 1t
seems they were suspected Of TAX
ing things too easily against their
Basque relatives.
MOroccanS at Front
could see Moroccans being
distributed among almost all in
surgent detachments within view
of here, and 1 also could see
bodies of MoroccanS lying on the
hillside across the frontier.
They attacked ferociously but
were able to advance only a
yard at a time, at heavy cost,
owing to he desperate resistance
of the loyalistS.
saw three airplanes wreck
the San Marcial road just across
the border above Irun. It was
one of the main routes by which
the loyalists have been obtaining
reinforcements and supplies.
While I was slipping drink In
a cafe near a bridge at Behobie,
a shell fell nearby and scared
everyone, although no one was
hurt.

HENDAYE, France, Aug. %
G.NS0.-Undismayed by stiff
resistance Of loyalist Spanish
forces in their stronghold at
Irun on the Bay Of Biscay, in
surgentS once more resumed their
desperate struggle to capture the
city today.
Having failed in two days of
bloody fighting on land and in
the air to take the city, the in
Surgents opened up today's at
tack at dawn from the sea with
naval bombardment by war
ship off Cape Figuier.
Shells from the ship were d.
rected at Fort Guadalupe. Shift
in insurgent tactics followed a
series Of insurgent troop charges
at the city which were repulSed by
the government forces with heavy
casualties on both sides, bringing
total casualties in dead and
wounded to about 1,700.
Some reports stated 400 insur-
gents and 200 loyaliStS had been
killed, but reliable estimates were
lacking.
The general situation remained
unchanged at noon after steady
artillery and aircraft duels
throughout the morning. Govern
ment planes concentrated on
bombing Alunda while inSurgent
aircraft hammered at La Puncha
and San Marcial.
Cruiser Withdraws
Artillery shells fell continually
on the Irun and Fuentarrabia
heights. Fort Guadalupe replied
to the rebel cruiser Espana's
shells in a duel lasting half an
hour, following which the Espana
withdrew.
Late last night, after falling
back, inSurgent troops staged a
last-minute counter-attack but
again were driven back by loyaliStS
who fought with hand grenadeS.
After this setback, for half an
hour it seemed to observers that
panic reigned among the insur-
gents, but calm was later re-
stored although the insurgent po-
sitions were continually raked by
government shells.
Airplanes from Burgos flew over
1run and the surrounding coun-
tryside and bombed the San Mar
cial road.
