“ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. XXXVI., NO. 5471. JUNEAU, ALASKA, SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1930. PLANE MAY DEMOCRATS IN TEXAS HAVE PRIMARY TODAY Eleven Candidates Fighting for Governorship—Run- Off Primary Certain DALLAS, Tex., July 26.—Eleven candidates for Governor, the long- est list ever entered in the race for Governor of this State, are awaiting the outcome today of the year's first Democratic primary. Due to the size of the field of can- didates it is predicted that a ma- Jjority vote for any one of them is impossible. A run-off primary on August 23 seems inevitable. Although State Senator Tom B. Love, whe bolted the nomination of Gov. Alfred E. Smith in 1928, attemptel to introduce an anti- Tammany note as an issue of the campaign, his rivals have concen- trated their fire over the proposed $350,000,000 State highway bond is- sue, apparently ignoring President ‘Hoover and the bolt to him two years ago. ‘There are many candidates in the State-wide primary for vunous‘ State, District, legislative and Coun- ty offices. 3 SHIPS ARE AT PT, BARROW Fourth Boat Proceeds East- ward (Into Fog of Canadian Arctic POINT BARROW, Alaska, July 26.—Three ships, the first to work their way through the ice pack this season are here and a fourth ship, which followed them through the narrow lead, continued, after the doctor had come ashore at midnight for a short time to attend to a man with, a dangerous hip wound. Capt. Pederson risked his vessel, the Patterson, to be the first with} supplies and to obtain furs. The Canadian Police Boat, St. Roche, and a small supply boat, the Old Maid, No. 2, followed and tied up to the ice about one mile out. Ninety sacks of mail were dragged | and boated over the wotting ice to ‘shore. The Hudson's Bay Baychimo, headed northward in the fog of the Canadian Arctic after the doctor's visit. The police boat attempted to follow but was jammed in the nar- row lead .zd spent hours return- ing a short distance. A radio from the Baychimo said it was steaming strong with the ice fast disappearing because of constant south winds. . .The ice has been crowded north by the wind conditions, until it is almost all gone south of here. SALMON RULES FISH WHARVES, NO OTHER KIND Salmon was monarch on fish wharves today. No other kind of deep sea fish was unloaded. Twenty-two thousand pounds of humpbacks were brought by the Franklin, Capt. L. Peterson. They were put by him, their owner, into the Juneau Cold Storage to be frozen for halibut bait. Eight thousand pounds of cohoes and 400 pounds of kings arrived on the Fern, Capt. John Lowell. Eight hundred pounds of silvers and kings were on the Mabel, Capt. Ole Jackson, fog, the New England Fish Company, and 900 pounds of | silvers and Kings on the T3380, Capt. John Pademeister. The fish on the T3380 were bought by the Juneau Cold Storage Company. — TODAY'S STOCK | QUOTATIONS ki o R P L . d | — NEW YORK, July 26—Closing Guotation of Alaska Juneau mine stock today is 5%, Allegehany Cor- poration 22%, Anaconda 51%, Beth- lehem Steel 23%, General Motors 467%, Granby 23%, International Harvester 84%, Kennecott, no sale, Montgomery-Ward 37, Nationall Acme, no sale, Packard Motors 14%, | Simmons Beds 27%, Standard Oil; of California 62%, Standard Oil of New Jersey 74%, Standard Brands | 21%, United Alrcraft 61%, U.
