DANCE TOMORROW NIGHT ‘ Holdings at Thane | ‘Bul: Dashes Into Church, MINING SHOWS MORE ACTIVITY AT MOOSE PASS Williams, Back from Road Inspection, Reports Growth in Industry | s | The Moose Pass district cent to Seward and tributary to the Alaska Railroad and %focso Pass Highway is notable for aug- |mented mining activity, according ‘LD M. D. Willlams, District En- | gineer, United States Bureau of |Public Roads, who returned home ‘ths morning on the steamer Aleu- |tian after several weeks absence. He inspecied reconstruction in pro-} |gress on Moose Pass Highway and | maintenance work in that district and at Cordova. Roadwork is moving ahead at a normal pace although in scope it is much below the average, due tn the curtailment of allotments from the Forest Road Fund by Con- gress last Spring. By the end of this month reconstruction of the first section of Moose Pass High- way will have been completed, Mr. Williams said. There is more mining activity in the areas served by the high- way than for a great many years, Mr. Williams said. He estimatea that there is double the number of men there now than have been engaged in mining since the road was first constructed. New placer ground is being ex- plored and developed. Old and proven placer property has recently changed hands and both groups are showing excellent results. The Hirshey mine, a quartz prop- | erty on Palmer Creek, one of the| oldest properties in that section of | Alaska, has recently passed into new ownership and plans call for | |steady development and operation. ———————— Statue to “Cactoblastus” 5 Proposed in Australia | adja- BIISBANE, Australia, Aug. 16.— Premier Moore of Queensland pro- poses in all seriousness to erect a statue to ‘cactoblastus,” which destroys prickly pear.

AKERSON IN POLITICAL SCENE AGAIN *“Son” Will Handle Eastern Publicity for Presi- dent Hoover By HERBERT PLUMMER WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 —Return of that burly and now gray-haired chap, George Akerson, to the poli- tical scene—as Eastern publicity director for the Hoover .campaign, —somehow seems to be just one of those things that were bound |to happen. | Mos: Washington newsmen -and political observers never quite be- came accustomed to his absence in and around the White House. His relationship with Hoover had its beginning when the President made up his mind definitely to seek the Republcan nomination. At least that's what everybody ‘mougm when George quit news- | paper work back in 1925 to become a member of Hoover's personal of- fice staff in the Department of Commerce. He was regarded from the start| essentially as a political press| representative. HE'S “SON™ TO HOOVER But, there are other reasons, perhaps more personal, why WAk- erson has forsaken his desk as a motion picture executive to do pub- licity again for President Hoover. Therz has been an unusual inti- mate side to the relationship through the years of these two men. It was Akerson, as much as any- one, who made “the Chief” known | to the world. He always talked relations. - One of the best con- jcerns the time the two crossed' the | country together on a business trip. Th2y had procured some detec- tive books before leaving to induce sleep on the train. In the same ! grawing room, Akerson occupiea |the upper berth and “the Chief” !the lower. Far into the night they |read as the train rambled on. Presently Akerson heard a tap- ping helow. ‘“How many murders have you got up there, Son?” asked Hoo- i ver. “Four up to now, Chief,” replied Akerson. “Give me the book,” came th~ fcommand, and George surrendered. | 4 TP Al | STOCK HERE FROM TRIP TO LOOK OVER PROJECTS | Returning from a trip to Ket- chikan and Petersburg to look over projects to which he was re- icently awarded contracts for con- | struction, R. E. Stock, well-known |road builder of Aberdeen, Wash., land Alaska, returned here this morning on the steamer Admiral Roger He conferred with local interests in both places relative to the employment of local labor. Mr. Stock will be here several days and probably will submit a bid on the overhead crossings to be constructed on Glacier High- way, Thane section, at the Alaska Juneau. —eto—— Johnny Kilbane of Cleveland, once featherweight champion of the world, now manages a string of Cleveland fighters. GAME SEASONS T0 OPEN SOON: DEER AUB, 207H Mountain Goats on Same Date — Wild Fowl and Moose September | Southeast Alaska's game season will open mnext Saturday when hunting of both deer and moun- tain goats is legally permissable. Reports from all sources indicate an abundance of both animals. The deer season .extends from August 20 to November 15 through- out Southeast Alaska, and on goats to December 31. The sea- sonal bag limit on the former is three and the latter two. On Admiralty Chichagof and Baranof Islands the deer herds are declared to be in excellent condition and in abundance. The bucks are on the high, bald peaks where they will remain until frost drives them to the lower levels. ¢ Mcose hunting starts on Sep- tember 1. On that date, also, the abbrevicted wild fowl season will open for 60 days. Local flocks of boih ducks and geese have been in evidence for the past ten days or more. Both teal and mallards are reported at Mendenhall Flats, and several flocks of geese have been seen {in that vicinity and at Fagle River. ———— FOREST SERVICE PORT ENGINEER HERE ON VISIT Lyle Blodgett, Port Engineer of the United States Forest Service, whose headquarters are at Ket- AT CAPITOL SOON of “the Chief” wherever he went. | Everybody knows the President’s! dislike for those little human stor- ies of his sayings and doings so valuable for publicity purposes. | But he did much to make Hoo- understood in the days that he was with him as his secretary. To the President, he was never “George,” or “Akerson,” Always it was “Son.” And when he left : the White House he went with the assurance of both the President and Mrs. Hoover that they would ever regard him as “Son”—a mem- | ber of the family. ‘, Perhaps this, more than any| other one thing, prompted him to| return to the firing line to battle | for “the Chief” once more. | | MYSTERY STORY READERS | There are many little stories, ! heard nmow and then in private conversations, about their personal chikan, arrived here last night to inspect the Ranger VI., in port for sometime awaiting engine repairs. » i H i} { | | ; i CANNED FOOD SALE Large cans Apricots, Peaches, Pears, can..18¢c GARNICK’S—Phone 174 = T I 00000 MEAT IN JUNEAU.
