WIGG LEADS
 SALMON DERBY WITH 34-4 KING

George Wigg, Jr. landed a 34- pound four-ounce king salmon in front of town Sunday to take ton honors for the weekly salmon der by. which closed last Sunday at midnight, and to move mp to the top rung in seasonal standing.
 Wigg. using herring for bait, al- so landed three smaller salmon. He was about the only fisherman last week to pick up more than one fish in a day.
 The fact that he was using her ring has caused as much of a run on that bait as there was in plugs at Campbell's store when lucky fishermen were successful with the artificial lure.
 For his fishing skill, Wigg won a $32 glass rod with case donated by Les Florence of the Pacific Mar inc Supply.
 Stokes in Lead
 Fishing about 400 yards from this editors desk this morning, Dick Stokes hooked and landed a 3O-pound 11-ounee king to take the lead in this weeks derby that closes next Sunday at midnight.
 Of course the editor wasn't up yet Git was 3 a. m.) but Stokes partner, Berney Iverson, reports the other sport fishermen out were Art Nelson and Sidney Jenkins. It isT not clear whether they were fishing for fish or the lower unit off Nel- sons outboard which took the 'deep six" last night.
 If Stokes isn't topped by Sunday night he'll have a pair of boots as a prize.
 Tore Prizes
 MT and Mrs. Dave Remmerden, proprietors of Irene's local women's and children's clothing store, have donated three pair of Holeproof hosiery as a prize to the first wo- man derby contestant to enter a fish and a Jantzen knit suit to the woman with the biggest fish enter ed in the derby on closing date. July 15.
 So far. only one woman. Mrs. Dan Roberts, has entered the con test and unless others borrow the $5 entry fee from their husbands and get into the act, Dotty is going to look nice in that knit suit. Stanley zuern. a salesman for Van Waters and Rogers of Port and, was in Wrangell Tuesday and Wednesday and donated $2O to the derby for prizes.
 ] Next week the prize will be $2O , worth of sport fishing tackle of which the winner can make his or HER choice. the derby committee has announced.

Statehood

This week in Washington they are holding hearings on Alaska statehood. It was before Senator Hugh Buffers Interior and Insular Affairs committee and among those appearing in behalf of statehood were former Gov. Gruening and Mildred We can eat beans for statehood" Hermann, secretary of the statehood organization. Wheth- CT they can convince Senator But Ter, who has never been an expon- ent of statehood, and his commit tee remains to be seen. The fact that Delegate Bartlett is now sup porting a bill to provide for an el- ective Governor would indicate that statehood is one of those things to talk about during the next four years. The elective Governor bill, they report, has a chance of pass ing.

 THROUGH THE SENTINEL
 PERISCOPE
What Color. COP

With the flare of Gov. Heintzle- mans inauguration over; the ap- pofntmenf made of Bob DeArmond as his executive assistant and the announcement by Interior seere- tary Mckay of the appointment of William c. Strand as Director of Territories, a friend of ours who watches such things has been nov ed to come up with these pungent lines:
 From Ketchikan to Kotzebue,
 From Petersburg to Nome;
 The black Republicans are in,
 The Whites?
 They have no home.
 The author of this bit of dog gerel noted a significant absence of White Republicans in places of distinction at the inauguration. White Republicans, it may be re- called, are those who supported former U. s. Marshal Albert White during those hungry 16 years when he kept the Republican party alive in Alaska after the famous Doug las convention split of 1886. Our author observed that Albert, for many years General Counsellor of the Republican party in Alaska, was not among the dignitaries who drew platform and front TOW seats at the ceremonies. He noted that Senator Elton Engstrom, chairman of the Republican Central Com mittee, was oddly unnamed on the official program of those greeting the new Governor.
 Maybe" comments our inform ant, "the invitations to the White Republicans just got lost in the mail"
 And he adds: "One can hardly class DeArmond and Strand as White Republicans.
 Well, hardly, we suppose.
 Bob is the author of that widely read column Northern Note book" and has been for a consid- erable number of years identified with the printing and newspaper business in Alaska; more recently located at Sitka where he operates a printing establishment. His pol itical activities, from casual obser- vation, appear to have been rather closely aligned with the self-styled black Republicans.
 New Director Strand is another who exudes printers ink. Bill came to Alaska from the Chicago Trib- une and did a stint as managing editor of the late Capt. Austin E. Lathrops Fairbanks News-Miner. To say that his writings at any time while in Alaska showed any great affinity for the White organ ization would be a gross misstate- ment It would be just about like saying that Sid Charles, that rug ged individualist editor of the Ket- chikan Daily News, is a devout pol- itical disciple of Ernest Gruening. And, as Sid would say, Brother, that ain't so."
 As our doggerel author indicates, it could be the Whites have no pol iticaI home. But, one can never tell Old Boss White is back in Washington and Albert never was a man to take mo" lying down.
