he certainly has "a roar” coming. For
his benefit it may be stated that the
delinquency noted has been traced di
rectly to the office devil, who made
the mistake while endeavoring to
make a few corrections on one of the
mail galleys. We have had the afore
said o. d. on the carpet in the front
office, and what we said to him was
a plenty. He was told exactly where
to “head in” and intimation given
that a repetition might mean cutting
off of his movie ticket, and so forth,
and so on. As a matter of fact it
brings a blush upon us when we re
call what we said to him. The “call
ing down,’ we think, took deep effect
upon him, and it unlikely that there
will be pny further cause for com
plaint.
MORROW DEFEATS DRY CAN
DIDATE BY NEARLY 4 TO 1
IN NEW JERSEY PRIMARY
NEWARK, N. J.—In a demonstra-1
tion of strength that exceeded the
hopes of even his most optimistic par
tisans, Dwight Morrow swept to vic
tory in the New Jersey Republican
Senatorial primary election. His plu

with 223 districts missing.
Morrow’s vote is 374,000; Feet’s,
the dry candidate, 107,000; and Fre
linghuysen, 43,000.
The Rev. James Shields, superin
tendent of the New Jersey Anti-Sa
loon League, explained Morrow’s vic
tory by describing him as the “hestj
advertised candidate.” Anti-prohibi
tion farces in Washington hailed the
vote.
Marrow issued a statement saying:
“I’m grateful to the Republicans in
New Jersey for their confidence in j
me, as shown hy the vote yesterday.
My strongest desire is to deserve that!

AL ASK A ,NOTES.
A fire at Kenai a few weeks ago
destroyed the home of Gunnar Johaa
son an dkilled two children. The . file
was caused by the explosion of gaso
line which Mrs. Johanson had poured
in a stove, mistaking it .for kerosene.
An increase in number of almost
50 per cent in the Interior Alaska
buffalo herd has heenseven .having
recently been born.
The herd is now .a short distance
above McCarty. The public has been
warned not to approach the .animals
too closely, as they are liable to be
very dangerous at this time.
There are now 26 buffalo in the
herd. There were 18 originally re
leased and one calf was born last
spring. The increase this year is re
garded as very gratfyng .to the Alas
ka Game Commission.

FOURTH DIVISION CENSUS
IS NEARING COMPLETION
The census enumeration of .the
Fourth judicial district of Alaska is
practically completed, .according to
information received from Charles E.
Naghel, supervisor of census .for
Alaska.
It is of much importance to the
Territory of Alaska and .every com
munity therein .that the enumeration
be lull and .complete. The .enumer
ators have endeavored to interview
every resident, l>ut it is probable that
some persons have not been included
in the census, due to temporary ab
sence from their usual places at
abode when the enumerators called.
Any person who has any doubt as
to his having been enumerated is. re
quested to fill .out .the coupon appear
ing on Page 3 of this issue and mail
it to the supervisor of census.at Ju
neau, Alaska.
DOMESTIC TURKEYS WANT
NONE OF THE WILD LIFE
RALEIGH, N.iC.—Maqy years were
required lor domestication of the
American wild turkey, and North
Carolina game officials fear .it .will re
quire us many years to make him
wild again.
The discovery was .made .throygti
an effort to replenish the State’s
minishing supply vat wild darkeys.
Several hundred domestic turkeys
were driven far from civilisation in
the game preserves, bULm 'large per
centage of them came.hack promptly
to the comforts of modem life.
Officials are now experimenting
with the eggs of wild fowls, from
which they hope to raise a crop of
turkeys that will return to their na
tive haunts and provide game . for
sportsmen.
