1t was impossible in the face OF
uncertainty about other candidates
to estimate with any degree Of ac-
curacy, the chance for reelection
Of incumbents, but impartial OBJ
servers listed five office holders
as among the most secure OF the
group.
They are District Attorney Elmer
Heald, who polled 1902 votes against
no opposition four years ago; Sher-
if Robert w Ware, who ran sec
ond to J. Sterling Oswalt in the
primaries four years ago but came
through the general election with
an unprecedented majority; County
Recorder Evalyn B. Westerfield
who collected 605l votes to a total
of 3432 for two opponents at the
1884 primary election; Assessor col
lector Dan West, whose popularity
has grown immeaSurably since he
defeated the incumbent, four years
ago; and Public Administrator D.
L. Zinn, who was given almost a
thousand more votes than two OPP
ponents in 1884.
Possible contenders for places
with these five are County clerk
w. y. RCClcildlu anu soupCllOi
judge r. D. McPherrin, while the
status of others will in a greater
degree be determined by calibre Of
their opponents, astute observers
believed.
This will be McClellands first
campaign for election. He had re-
fused several times TO run for Of
flee when he was appointed two
years ago to the position of county
clerk when Edward H. Law was
elected state senator. Law had been
elected TO the clerks office in 1884
by 1881 votes to 1879 for his only
opponent.
The field Of attorneys in Impe-
rial Valley offered very few poten-
tial candidates who might be cap
able of unseating Judge McPherrin
at the coming election, observers
said.
All opinions regarding the COM
ing campaign remained, however,
pure speculation. Until a complete
list of candidates is available and
office seekers have tested, no defi-
mite predictions are possible

 Abundance of mice the last year or two has been an important fac tor in building up the fox supply he reported, and reports around the district reveal that muskrats will be plentiful Many natives of the region rely on the muskrat as their principal means Of support. One native has been known to go out and get 100 rats in a night. When they were selling at two to three dollars apiece it brought m a tidy sum.

 Except for a tow from Juneau to Seward across the Gulf of Al aska on the northbound trip, the Pandora cruised the entire journey under her own power.
 Tt is remarkable we aren't on the bottom of the ocean some place, engineer Clarence Lee, young man from Los Angeles said We've had trouble with that engine ever since we left California-sludge in the filter and everything else
 As for storms, one door to the pilot house bore witness to heavy wind with a gaping hole showing where quarter inch glass had been before a gust of wind slammed the door heavily shut.
 About the only rough weather we had was once in Bering Sea, y Lee said "The engine got plugged up again and some of the crew got worried and did some serious pray ing. I didn't have time to pray. I had to work on the engine. and we came out of it all right but it wasn't fun"
 Only trophies of the expedition brought back were a few pieces of ivory, three shivering husky pups and an embryo walrus taken from a COW shot near Wainwright and placed in quart jar of alcohol.
 On the return trip, Kellems, Key ser and Lee took railroad trip to Fairbanks that included stay at Matanuska where Kellems gathered information for story of the colony reportedly for the National Geo. graphic magazine.
 Kellems said next summer lie plans a trip via the Northwest Pas sage through the Arctic ice floes from east to west. The Pandora was only to be in Juneau this morning for a few hours before going on south
