ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARG:R" THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION TEMPEST. THE BEAR CENSUS The criticism by John M. Holzworth of the bear census figures for Alaska announced recently by the United States Forest Service is wholly uncalled for. It is based, apparently, upon the increase of 1,500 in the count for 1932 over that given for 1931 Biologically, Mr. Holzworth asserted, that is im- possible. Had biology played any part in figure, he would have béen within his rights in attacking the figures. But it is well known that the element of natural increase so far has not been a factor in game census estimates made by the Forest Service. These estimates are based upon the the increased observations of Forest Rangers, game wardens, field | men of the Forest Service and other organizations hunters, | as well as upon the reports of guides, trappers, prospectors and others whose vocations take them out into the field for a large part of the year. Constantly new game localities are being found, older ones are more completely covered, so that revision of the figures is possible each year, and the estimates through a given period of time become more accurate. . That is what happened between 1931 and 1932 The Forest Service and Alaska Game Commission had accumlated more information than had ever been available before 1932. Thus the revised figures represented a better picture of the actual bear population of Alaska's National Forests than did those of 1931. The 1931 estimate was 3,000 and for 1932 it jumped te@ 4,500, The latier.figure, however, is still too conservative if the estimated count of Admiralty Island bears can be used for Baranof and Chichagof Islands and other bear areas in the forests. Mr. Heintzleman, using the Admiralty Island estimate of 900 as a basis for computation, has calculated that the total bear population of Southeast Alaska would be about 10,800. Mr. Holzworth shouldn’t object to that figure. His own estimate for Admiralty Island, which he claims to know as well as anyone, was first put at 5,000, and later reduced to 3,000. If that figure be accepted as correct, Mr. Heintzleman's calcula- tions are over two-thirds too small, and the official | Forest Service figure for 1932, more than 25,000 too small. LIFTING THE GOLD EXPORT BAN. Nothing that the Administration has done in its vast and comprehensive program for national recovery has as much promise in Alaska as his action in removing the ban against the export of newly mined gold. This Territory is preeminently a mining country, and gold mining today leads all other branches of the industry. Its producing mines shave been handicapped by the gold embargo as a result of which it was not able to find compensation for the burden of increased operating costs that have been brought about by advancing prices of all the commodities it uses. This .condi- tion naturally militated sharply against explora- tion of prospects or prospecting for new deposits of the mineral.

But $20.67 in cash, now presented at the | Treasury or a Federal Reserve Bank, no longer |entitles the holder to one ounce of pure gold. | That is the result of Uncle Sam's suspension of gold payments late last April. As a matter of fact $20.67 will not buy any gold at all now from those institutions. On the basis of foreign exchange rates and open market prices for gold abroad it is possible to |compute the new “price” of gold in United States dollars. It is not far from $30 an ounce.. But up to now there has been a large fly in the ointment |for American producers. They were prohibited by | Treasury regulations from shipping their product lout of the country, and had to take the fixed and jartificial price of $20.67 an ounce from Government This would not have been so disconcerting | agencie {except that prices in general have been steadily | appreciating since gold payments were suspended, are expected to do so, and the gold miner was | holding the bag } No particular benefit to the country was obtained | by keeping newly mined gold at home. The United States, as the Treasury has pointed out, has no real Ineced for it for monetary uses. It has more than |it requires. The Administration is seeking to boost prices as well as wages, and to promote re-employ- | ment. By increasing the floating supply of gold in the world, which will naturally follow the exporta- | |tion of newly mined gold, it will further both of those ends. The gold miner, creating new wealth, has been penalized for it under the strict embargo, !when he was entitled to a profit for his labor. | And this is what the lifting of the ban will permit. | naturally follows that gold mining is now | It {more attractive to capital seeking profitable invest- ment than for many years. Alaska, with its vast mineral areas, its known deposits and its chances for discovering additional ones, stands to benefit very largely from the step. The surest and quickest way we have heard of to curb the kidnaper is the one used by the San Francisco cop—shoot, and shoot to kill. That way not only saves expense of trial but discourages others from trying that racket. | If Gen. Johnson is under the impression that getting the coal and steel industries under a single code each was tough proposition, just wait untilj he tangles up with the moving picture boys. Av Votre Sante! (New York Herald Tribune.) There was certainly nothing of the parade ground | about a French regiment of infantry on the march. It had more style of a kind perhaps than any other similar formation in any of the Allied armies. Bul it was the style of men who had inwardly adapted themselves to war to such an extent that certain formalities of military discipline had long been for- gotten: “the chic of the trenches,” as they them- selves named it. Under the long bayonet a French poilu swelled out with an extraordianry and seem- | ingly anarchic growth of equipment—handled and disposed, you would say, according to his taste and his experience—although it may very well have con- formed rigorously to inspection on leaving billets. rhe point is that he seemed to remain an indi- vidual, a’ person, inthe ranks; and yet looked the veteran soldier perhaps more than any other troops in the World War. Amid all that seemingly natural growth of equip- ment strung about a French soldier on the march were a felt-covered canteen with a curious stoppered spout and a cup of some white metal—a bidon and a quart—those who remember their A. E. F. French can name them still. These were inseparable from the simple soldat on permission, behind the lines, in action and even in death. For they were, no doubt, often a last comfort on the field of battle; some- times a monument beside scanty remains in No Man’s Land. | Hundreds of thousands of Americans have held \thab white metal cup — sometimes with a hand !slightly unsteady from early experiences of shell- \fire—as a Frenchman decanted into it generously ifrom his litre ration of good red wine; and if the ‘hand were still unsteady, heard in a strange lan- guage those beautiful words: “Have another, Old- Jumer!” (“Encore un autre, Mon Vieux!") Recollecting this friendly gesture of well sea- soned veterans to those who were to become such in 1917-'18, members of the A. E. F. will be hoping | that the 300 representatives of the French armies of 1914-'18 now visiting the United States will be snown every courtesy. It would be hard indeed to repay the hospitality of the quart and the bidon. France has jacked up duties on 67 categories of American goods.

The statement quotes from de- n of the Governmen:-formed ciliation Board in favor of the additional pay cut and points out that gross revenues of the railways have shrunk to less than 50 per cent of the 1929 level and so far in 1933, are 151 per cent under the like 1932 period, despite the recent improvement. “It is true,” says the statement, “that during recent weeks there has been some cessation in the drop in traffic compared with the very low figure of 1932. However, some of the prospects are urbingly uncertain and the railways must deal with actualities. Under such conditions the railways cannot rea- sonably be expected to pay 90 per cent of the wage rates established practically at the peak of railway and general prosperity. The Can- adian railways have to deal with Canadian conditions and it is not possible for them to undertake to edjust wages of Canadlan railway employees on a basis of conditions existing in the United States.” IR S R Dr. Amy Whalen, 95-year-old dentist of Pomeroy, O., expressed her belief that she will live at least three years longer by giving a three-year subscription for a magazine. - eee D:uly Empre Want Ade Pay Remove Corns ThisEasy Way Three, or four invigorating 15 minute foot baths in as many nights and that big old agonizing corn is gone—root and all.

Many people from Juneau and the vicinity enjoyed outing trips to the country, either by road or by launch. Two launches, the Georgia C and the Alaska, carried a large party to Limestone and re- turn by way of Taku. A stop was made at the old village and a dance enjoyed. The following were in the party: Misses Ora Morgan, Mamie Morgan, Ros2 Penglase, Ruth F. Anderson, An- na Dudley, May McLaughlin, Ce- celia McLaughlin, Katherine Me- Laughlin, Alice Margrie, Gladys Tripp and James Malloy, Denny Malloy, T. W. Wilson, A. Fair- child, Thomas Mugford,” Dr. H Vance, Bert Harris, Will Harris and Y. Williams. Harry Malone reccived a letter from his son, Howard, who was going into the Shushana by way of Cotdova to Join T > stampeders. He wrote that they had just hit the trail and that it was a frizht so far. but that they would make it. They were ten miles behind Iver St. Clair. John Kennedy re- ceived a letter from his brother Dan, who was on his way to the strike by way of Whitehorse. The letter had been written a week previously and said they had a ton of supplies and expected to make it in fifteen days. Good re- ports had been received from the diggings that it was richer than ever on the Canadian side, ac- cording to the letter. The Juneau Cold Storage plant started up for the first time and was ready for new business. The first load of fish to be received consisted of 3,000 pounds of hali- but and 2,000 pounds of black cod. Mrs. H. 5. Bisnop, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. S. B. Vroo- man, arrived home from the south on the Admiral Sampson. The great Jaxon skating rink was finished and the formal op- ening was to take place within a few days. The Juneau High School band had been engaged for the occasion and everything pos- sible was being done to make the remembered. Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, who that had re- cently accomplished the ascent of Mt. McKinley, was a southbound passenger on the Princess Sophia. He was to go directly to the East. He hoped to be able to get Board of Geographic Names to restore the Indian name ‘“Denali” to Mt. McKinley. — e Thousands of Texas residents were disqualified from voting in the prohibition repeal election be- cause of failure to pay poll taxes. - e The ads bring you the Informa- | tion about qunmy, stylfl and pnce HUNTING FISHING The gasboat “Wanderer” will leave from the City Float Thursday for Shoal Point.
