"Klnky' Lannen Of Cordova They were counting the absentee ballots this week and at last report Ben son was leading by some 60-odd votes. It probably meant that a re- ,coHtn would be in order and the Territorial Canvassing Board would have something to do during the long winter months Territorial of ticers take office on the 1st of Ap- Til so time was not a pressing mat ter. Win. lose or draw, incumbent Benson would be in office until then at least
 Otherwise on the political front things were about as previously re- ported. Delegate Bob Bartlett had rolled up more more than 19,00O votes, probably the largest vote he has ever received when the final tally is made. and, incidentally, the largest vote ever cast for Delegate Tn Alaska.

 Whi.e on the trail of the mighty moose, the wary roebuck and boy, those white geese, mail has been mounting. From far away Virginia, Minn., comes this interesting note from Uncle Fudd, better known as Elmer Bakke, pioneer fish culturist around these parts.
 Some time ago before leaving for a visit in Minnesota I had one of your local fish buyers pack a box of frozen fish for shipment to me here. The buyer was paid for his fish. but at this time I would like to thank the personnel of the Cold Storage who were generous enough to include one spawned out male Humpback which has caused quite a stir in the department of Min nesota Game and Fish. They are trying to determine what 1t is.'
 We'll be interested in their final determination, Elmer.
