On his |desk is an anchor and the usual telephores and penholders a person has to put up with, but for the most part he keeps his desk swept up and holy-stoned TABLE FOR DONKEYS So many donkeys have accumu- he bas set aside a special table for an assortment of trays, letter open- ers, a vase of flowers and the prize of all—a brightly turned butt of a brass naval shell cut down to ash- tray size. A few other favored of- |ficials about the capitol have trays like it. The nautical tone of the Admin- istration is reflected in dozens of Congressional offices where mem- bers have clocks set in a ship's helm (steering wheel, to you). Rep. Maury Maverick of Texas has a totem pole on his desk. He says it isn't a totem pole but in- stead is a PWA art project in wood, but we say it is a totem pole. Nearly all the veteran Senators have their walls decorated with the originals of political cartoons, sent them by the cartoonists. We T haven't seen any displayed except those giving the member a boost. Senator Capper of Kansas has pa- pered his office with photographs reaching back to the first Roose- velt days. AND A MACHINE GUN Senator Borah's desk is so piled with papers and books there is no room for anythmg except an ash tray, put there for guests. He doesn't smoke. He has a bronze bust of himself in his office Delegations are forever bringing in this and that and it was a silver delegation which installed in the office of Senator Pitman of Nevada a huge silver disk inscribed with the ancient Aztec calendar. We have never seen a wine de- canter op or near a gongressional desk but some spirited beverages are nearby in many offices. Among the shoddiest offices we recall are those of thé famed White House brain troops, Ben Cohen and Tommy Corcoran, and they are practically gadgetless. Senator Sheppard of Texas has fought most of his public life for prohibition. But there is not a Car- rie Nation hatchet among his Instead, as chairman of the military affairs committee, this peaceful-looking Senator has small arms ammunition and, hon- est to blazes, he has a Browning machine gin mounted back of his chair, tripod and all. REQUEST :IS MADE:FOR SCHOOL, HIDDEN INLET Request for a school at Hidden Inlet on Portland Canal, squth of Ketchikan, has been made to the Office of Indian Affairs by Nick Kristovich, but there is no possi- bility of pne being built this year as no funds are available, accord- ing to C. M. Hirst, Director of Edu- cation for Indian Office. In a let- ter to The Empire, Mr. Kristovich said there were 17 children of school age in the community and the Indian Office said its survey showed the same number, but that it had not been able to determine that the residents there were per- manent. The only industry in the communlty is the Nakat Packing Corporation cannery which pro- yvides only seasonal employment.

Since that time, the fish have come in in- creasing quantities, and commerci trollers are now bringing in con- siderable silver salmon with their kings. With the aerial acrobat cohoe again in Juneau waters, strip fish- ermen will have increasingly better luck! The present run of silvers is known as the “Blueback” run, the first of the cohoes coming in running generally four to eight pounds. The “Greenback” which weighs up to 20 and more pounds. will follow the “Blueback” month. 3 TERRITORIAL C. OF C. HOLDS MEETING At the last meeting of the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce bids for printing 10,000 copies of “Glimpses of Alaska” were opened and the job was awarded to The Empire. Copies of the new folder “Pictorial Alaska,” were distributed and they met with instant approval House organs from the Chambers of Commerce of San Francisco and Seattle were read, also clippings from newspapers which gave publi- city to the fact that Alaska shovld not be a mecca for unemployed A radiogram from Delegate An- thony Dimond was read stating that no further action on the hill to authorize the Territory’s bondcd indebtedness was taken by Con- gress.

Postmaster After Persons Who Are Damaging Bulldmg | | Warning was issued by Postmaster | Albert Wile today that person or persons damaging the Federal Build- | ing are flirting with trouble and prosecution will follow their ap- prehension. Several windows in the building have been broken recently and the other evening the watchman sur- prised a group of youngsters who were taking putty out of the win- dow frames, but they scampered | before he could catch them, the Postmaster reported. Some of the windows look as if they had been hit by air rifle shot or a .22, he said, and an investigation is now underway. gl Mercury Shoots Up to 77 Here This Afternoon Making Juneauites forget quickly the recent rainy spell, the mercury shot up to 77 at 1:50 o'clock this afternoon,” giving this community recorded.

TONGASS TAKES | FREIGHT, TA KU Seven engers Board Here for Seattle and Sitka The steamer Tongass arrived in | Juuneau last night and unloaded | freight here until this morning, took cargo transfer from the Prince Ro- bert, and sailed for Taku Landing. At the mouth of the Taku River, the Tongass was to discharge ap- proximately 100 tons of freight for the Polaris-Taku mine and take aboard 300 tons of concentrates for the Tacoma smelter.

They grow big over in the Newha- lem River region, too, according to a recent report in the Anchorage Times.

Juneau, June 24. — Sunrise, 2:54 a.m.; sunset, 9:11 p.m WEATHER SYNOPSIS pressure prevailed this morning from the Gulf astward to the Mackenzie Valley and northward to the Arctic Ocean, the crests being 30.36 inches at Aklavik and 30.22 inch- es at Kodiak. Low pressure prevailed over the Aleutians and Bering Sea region, the lowest reported pressure being 29.40 inches at lati- tude 50 degrees and longitude 170 degrees.
