Our laboratory experiments
made that first flight possible" said
the 67-year-old pioneer pilot in one
OF his infrequent interviewA "It has
been said that the airplane evolved
because Of progress in motor design
but that Is not so.
"Our motor was one Of the poorest
parts OF our airplane. The correct
wing design based on our wind tun-
mel experiments enabled us to fly.
We could have used steam engine,
but it would have been more dan

Future application of boundary

clinging to airplane wings and re-
tarding their speed, will enable
swifter flight with motors far less
powerful than those common today,
Mr.. Wright predicted.

Lucas Files For Mayor
 And City Clerk Juneau

Harry l. Lucas, city clerk Of Ju- neau last Saturday filed his candid acy for Mayor to succeed Thomas B Judson, who will not seek the office this year due to illness. Lu- cas filed on the Peoples Ticket. filling the position vacated by May or Judson.
 The Peoples Ticket platform. as announced by Lucas. calls for the elimination of the position of street commissioner and the combination of the offices of the mayor and city clerk If elected, Lucas would con- tinue to serve, while also holding the non-remuneratiye position of mayor.
 In the past it has been custom ary for the mayor of Juneau to take the. title of street commissioner, thus gaining $200 a month salary. How ever, Lucas will shift the street maintenance work to the city en- gineer, who is especially trained for the work. Swinging sharply toward the city manager plan which has o6Su auopteu HI IAdhy NAAASo, LuCdo told the Alaska Daily Press of Ju- neau, the combination of offices will reduce the overhead and eliminate much political red tape from the municipal administration.
 For 26 years a resident of Juneau. Lucas was Territorial bank exam iner for several years, was an assis- lant cashier at Behrends Bank for I2 years and is now manager of the Assembly Apartments in addition to his duties as city magistrate and city clerk

Six Nominees For Council Offices
 Three Places To Fill

Johnson in business. Nomination of Mrs Johnson, who left on a brief trip south three weeks ago, was filed by friends last week without her knowledge. Her acceptance was received by radiogram yesterday af- ternoon
 Nomination of MT. Ronning, also was filed by friends during his ab- sence in Seattle ard his acceptance sent by radiogram. He went south last month on the Andrea when it was taken down for alterations prior to the opening of the halibut season.
 Notwithstanding the indiffer- ence which Wrangell today seem ingly feels toward the outcome of the city elections. It is very possible that by next Tuesday many citizens will have decided that they are very much interested in the election, but as matters no wstand only 40 are eligible to vote, that being the num- Der who had registered up to noon today.
 The registration books have been advertised as open at the city clerks office until 4 o'clock Monday af- ternoon but it is probable they will not be closed until the office is closed at 5 o'clock.
 Every one interested in the gov ernment of the town should cast a ballot in Tuesdays election. The privilege of voting at this election is restricted to citizens of the Uni- ted States over 21 years of age who have resided continuously for one year in the Territory and six months within the corporate limits of the town and have registered.
 Registration for the city elections are made annually. Neither last years registration nor that of any previous year, will be of any avail in this years elections, and should not be confused with Territorial el- ections in which registration is made at the time of voting.

Anchorage Reports
 Typhoid Fever Case

A case of typhoid fever, the first one in many years in Anchorage. was reported to the city's health de- partment recently.
 Dr. Howard c. Romig. assistant territorial health commissioner, said the fact that only one case has been found in the city seems to prove that the water is not the source of infection.
 The patient is expected to recoy- CT.
 Tests of Anchorage water made recently have all showed the water to be satisfactory for human con- sumption. Health authorities said that while the source of infection mas not been proved, it is almost certain that it did not come from the water.
 Dr. w. B. Shore, the attending physician, said efforts are being made to locate the source of the ill- ness. He has checked his patient s activities and has found no logical way for the ill2ess to have been contracted He expressed the belief that food shipped in from the out side must have been the cause.

 COLD STORAGE

C. C. Mundy, we'll known fish packer. returned on the Yukon Monday from a brief business trip To Seattle and a visit to his father and other relatives at Ellensburg. Wash Mrs Mundy, who accompan- jed him south, entered the Swedish hospital at Seattle for medical at tention last week but plans to re- turn home next week.
 When asked how he found con ditions in the Pacific Northwest, Mir Mundy said, Conditions are terrible. people up here cannot pos sibly realize how fortunate they are to be in Alaska" He said that farm CTS in the fertile Ellensburg valley still have in storage 500 carloads of fine Yakima Gem Potatoes which they cant move at prices to warrant their sacking and this in face of new potatoes coming on the market from the south.
 A 25-pound sack of potatoes sells at retail in the Ellensburg district for IT cents, he found. A former school mate of MT Mundy's who has an Ellensburg valley ranch, showed him storage cellars on his ranch where over 250 tons of fine pota- toes are still waiting for a market. Anyone can come and take away all they want, he said.
 These were given by MT. Mundy as just few instances which came under his observation of the plight which has oYertaken the west coast states, and has hurt Seattle the worst of all.
 In answer to inquiries as to the reports that he is contemplating es- tablishing a cold storage plant at Seward. MT. Mundy stated that while he intends to make a trip to Seward next year to investigate the san Juan Fishing and Packing Com pany plant there, for this season he will pack fish at Wrangell and Pe- tersburg as he has done for several years past.

Grant, post master at Wrangell, through whom the sales have been made. In per capita sales Wrangell ranked fifth in the third class post offices.
 During the year Alaska's pur- chases of the savings bonds amount ed to $205, 5,525.00, of which S1S3,- 06.25 were purchased at post off ces and S22,518.75 by mail. The total population of Alaska accord ing to the 1880 census being 59.- PTS, the per capita sale in Alaska was s346.
 In amount of sales in third class offices Nome ranked first followed in rank as follows: CordoVa, Wrangell, Seward, Haines, Palmer, Skagway, Hamilton, Valdez, sitka. At the end Of the list is Petersburg with sales of s75.
 Of the four second class post of- fices in Alaska, Juneau ranked first at s43,987.5O, Ketchikan was a close second at S42,993.75 and Fair banks third at $41,343.75.
 United States savings bonds in- crease 3315 per cent if held ten years. Denominations start at s18.- 75 which increase in ten years to s25.00 and the highest bonds are bought at s750, which in ten years will increase to 5000.
 Post Master Grant states that if the rate of sale as to date continues for the remainder of the year to Au- gust 31st. Wrangell will have bought over five times the amount of bonds of the past year, which means that in U. S. savings bonds alone investments in Wrangell will total approximately s32,000.

Although six candidates are in the field for three places on the city council, so far not as much in terest as usual has been manifested in the city elections to be held next Tuesday. There is no contest in the Mayors or school board offices.
 The council candidates are George Gunderson, John Stevenson. Jorgen Roaming. L. NJ Campbell, Nels stensland and Mrs. Nj. 0. Johnson. Gunderson and Campbell are the only candidates with previous ex- perience on the council.
 Gunderson. who was appointed late last summer to fill the uEex- pired term Of Herbert Bradley whose office was declared vacant as required by law. after he had been away from town over three months. has made an excellent coun- cilman.
 As chairman of the property and equipment committee. he has spent many long hours of personal ser vice. During the installation of the new heating plant at the gymnas- ium, as just one instance his ser vices if paid for would have cost the city a tidy sum.
 He has taken an interest in all phases of city government and has never been absent from a council meeting. On two occasions he has made special trips in from the Gun derson traps at Johnson's Cove in order to be present at meetings.
 MT. Campbell, likewise, has serv- ed the town faithfully and com petently, his service on the council having extended since 1884 He is chairman of the finance committee and an insight such as his of the towns affairs is difficult to attain except after much experience.
 Each of the other candidates is successful in his own line, Jorgen Roaming and John Stevenson as fish srmen. Nels Stensland and Mrs

federal grounds now closed to traf- fife as being unsafe, should be filed as suggested projects.
 Leo Mccormack of the McCor- mack Dock Company, recommended rebuilding Stikine avenue and fed eral grounds improvement. Council man Campbell recommended such project as would employ all possible man power, but further stated that he was not willing to further ob- ligate the city without first know ing what they were getting into and what it was going to cost to get out of it.
 Front Street Favored
 Although the council was reluct- ant to commit the municipality to major project without knowing the extent of funds available, how long the work would continue and how much the town must contribute the project most favored by the council upon vote proved to be the Front street gravel fill estimated at 5000 cubic yards. The town agrees to furnish trucks and oil. In this project no further material Is re- quired.
 Rebuilding Stikine avenue with bulkhead and fill was held to be too expensive for bulkhead materials for the town to undertake even with fourteen per cent furnished by the Public Welfare department, but those favoring that project believe the labor involved Is the big item of expense and that all relief work should be centered there instead of Front street.
