He has been told that because the Republicans tasted blood instead of ashes in the last clection, they aren’t s sure but what they can do all right on their own He has also been told that men like Sehator Byrd still prefer to do their running er the same old party, in spite of differences between men and ideas. There has been a small spurt of Byrd for Presi- dent activity in the South, but hardly enough else- where to give him the support he would need to get the presidential nomination, because in the event that declines to run for a fourth term every effort will be made to find a candidate accept- able to Roosevelt.

Ware; one at a location which must remain secret These camps in themselves have been near miracles of construction When Captain Ware turned up near williamsburg, Va. in September, 1932, to command his new Sea Bee camp, he found nothing but thirty 2 square miles of wilderness and swampland so desolate that, during the building of the camp, the skei- etons of several negroes were found in the swamps. Chief residents were negro squatters. There was large hog farm. This was what gave Captain Ware the idea of raising hogs to provide extra| meat for the Sea Bees, and this led to reports that he was operating the farm for his own benefit. Ac- tually, all of the proceeds from the hog farm went to the Ship's Ser- vice Fund to benefit the Sea Bees. behind the of stel es attitude expected to before in the is vel a ator Tennessee, der, disclosed that paid the taxes in 1 ACROSS .

The largest profit was $13.172 made from the sale {of lots at Seward. Anchorage sites brought a profit of $12,5610 and Nenana $11,150. Within the next two days the $60,000 fog signaling station at Point Retreat was to be completed and the station, which was equipped with both blinker and diaphone trumpet, was to be in operation by December 25. The station was to be in charge of Charles Bohm, who was to be transferred from his former post at Sentinel Island. Construction of the proposed Wmmonium sulphate plant at Thane was a “sure go” in the opinion of R. F. Lewis, President of the Juneau Water Company, according to George C. Burford in a letter to The Empire written from San Francisco. Jack Laurie had accepted the position of desk clerk at the Alaskan Hotel, taking the place of Mike Adzich who had resigned. A check for $50 had been received by the Juneau Fire Department {from the Juneau Hardware Company in appreciation of the splendid work of the boys in the recent fire. A second gift was also reported, this being another check for $50 and two boxes of cigars from the Boston | Store, Michael and Coury, also in appreciation for the work at the fire. | ;’ To further its campaign for creating a real tourist industry in South- 1oasl Alaska, resolutions were adopted by the Juneau Chamber of Com- I ber authorizing the appointment of a committee to draft a plan for a central Southeastern Alaska Chamber of Commerce and to study sug- gestions for securing the creation of game sanctuaries in the Taku and ‘Stikme valleys. low, 39; rain.
