ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. AND WE DIDN'T KNOW IT. Alaska will furnish the next National sensation—and scandal. President Roosevelt has a swarm of expertE investigating every angle of business and traffic in this atmos- pherically cold and politically hot spot. Every angle of the ALASKAN situation looks very, very bad—and the President is determined to have the facts—gold, seals, rail rights and waterways—all to the hour. Thus reads a paragraph in a “Whisperings” in the National Investment Tran- seript, a weekly financial paper published at Camden, N. J., by National Investment Transcript, Inc, Presi- dent, Clement H. Congdon, Editor, Clement H. The Herald-Tribune story on the Alaska Juneau said; : Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company estimates operating profit for August of $216,500 and of the total, $110,000, or 50.8 per cent, represents estimated premium on pro- duction based on the current market and exchange operations. The estimate gives the first indication of the effect of the recent Government gold orders on profits of mining companies. In announcing the figures, the man- agement of the company emphases that the $110,000 expected to accrue from premiums is tentative only and that final showings must await the receipt of actual tran- sactions involving foreign exchange. The estimated August profit compares with $111,700 in July and 101,700 in August last year, bringing the total for the first eight months of 1933 to $939,500, compared ;vsi;;l $759,500 in the corresponding period of The monthly report of the company con- tains the estimate on gold premium for the first time in August. Valued at $20.67 an ounce, the company’s output of gold amount- ed to $268,500 last, month. With the premium added, the total was $378,500. Income from production in the first eight months of 1933 was $2,256,000 against $2,124,500 in the like 1932 period. The Government is going ahead with its sacrifice of pigs to raise the price of pork. So far there have been no squealers except the porkers. The Government is said to be seriously con- sidering managed currency. Most any married man can give them pointers on that subject. Will Be Missed. (Anchorage Times.) There is one man who will be very much missed in Anchorage after tomorrow. That is Citizen Harry F. Morton, lawyer, civic leader and tribune of the people. Perhaps in all her career Anchorage has not been able to boast a more energetic and public spirited ecitizen than Harry Morton. Always alert, keen and ardent in the public cause he has occupied a place in the economy of things in this column headed |part of Alaska which it will be hard for anyone else to fill. Coming to Alaska years ago, Harry Morton has grown up with Uncle Sam'$ biggest Territorial possession. By dint of sheer determination and application coupled with ability he has hewed his Congdon, and Managing Editor, Clement H. Congdon. & 5 A |way forward and is now receiving recognition in And maybe Clement H. Congdon is also the author, ., . fielq—in the Federal legal service at the of “Whisperings.” t's a right tidy little piece of news and if he wants credit for it along with his sagacious advice on what stocks to buy and which ones to sell, and his diagnosis of the world’s ills, and other economic and financial lore, we're willing he should have it. For it is news—very, very real news. All of us will be glad for the President to have the facts, “up to the hour” about gold. That's a commodity we have always had a sneaking suspicion about. Why some of the tree-covered granite hills and gravels of this frigid land don't contain gold deposits and others do, is somethingythat has bothered lots, of us. Maybe Nature didn't have anything to do with it, and it is the result of a conspiracy to defraud the Nation of its holdings here. That's a real job for the President’s experts! Now take rail rights, for insiance. If memory is corréct, there are two common carrier railroads wholly within Alaska and one in Alaska and Canada. We don't know whether they have any rights or not, but of one thing we are certain—none of them boast of any profits. The President, through Secre- tary Ickes, is the boss of the biggest one of the three—the Alaska Railroad—and ought to be in position to speak with &uthority on any subject con- nected with it. Waterways, inland and ocean lanes, may be in danger of seizure by predatory interests from the Government which holds them in undisturbed pos- session. Even small-sized creeks are nationalized in ownership and may only be developed, even for non- commercial uses, under permit and license from the Government. The system seems askew and cumbersome and possibly the President’s investigators may recommend a change. Fur seals, too, need an investigation of micro- scopic thoroughness. Just why these mammals, which have increased from a few paltry thousands in 1912 to more than 1,000,000 in 1933, have not multiplied more rapidly remains a mystery. Why, guinea pigs and rabbits do much better and they do not begin to compare in size or value. Perhaps Uncle Sam is gypping himself in that resource of which he has been the sole proprietary owner and exploiter for more than two decades. There is fuel in all of these things for the “next national sensation.” We are at a loss to explain why it hasn't burst wide open long before this. The manipulations of the stock markets, the speculations of supposedly responsible banking insti- tutions with depositors’ money, and the failure of thousands of banks, racketeering and gangster gunmen, New Jersey’s famous “rum row,” its un- solved Lindbergh kidnaping, all of the hundreds of other “front page” incidents of the past four years pale into insignificance when compared to the coming Alaska “scandal!” To forget the news, however, and get back to the facts for a moment: There is just one special investigator in Alaska today. He isn't concerned with gold, seal, rail rights or waterways. His mission is to study the reindeer breeding and grazing industry. Possbly a rumor of his presence has reached the East and has led the New Jersey editor into a speculation that has neither point nor moral. WHAT THE FREE GOLD MARKET MEANS. In its usual monthly estimated results of opera- tions for August, recently published in The Empire, the Alaska Juneau announced its net before certain charges as having been $106,500, based upon gold at $20.67 per fine ounce. It was also said that it was not possible to give results based upon the world gold price, due of course to foreign exchange and other costs involved in the transactions. The New York Herald-Tribune, however, carried an estimate for the month giving relative results based on the world price, showing it to be $216,500, or $110,000 more than would have been received had not President Roosevelt modified his gold embargo order to permit shipment of newly mined gold. In the stock sales of the same day this estimate was pubiished, the Alaska Juneau sales ranked tenth among the 15 leading issues, totaling 26,700 shares. . . national capital. Possessed of a tireless disposition and boundless nervous energy and the urge to do things, and being an eternal optimist and devoted to the cause of Alaska and always loyal to the best interests of his home town and the public welfare, Harry Morton has set a pace that is sure to click with ithe energetic and metally alert men now guiding the destinies of the nation at Washington. That he will prove his metal and make good is very much in the cards. Harry Morton will leave Anchorage with the best wishes of the entire community and a host of other Alaskans—while in this region in particular and ‘especially in Anchorage there will be much regret that he will not be here to lend his customary counsel and aid in current public movements. Alaska—and Anchorage in particular—will have a staunch friend and advocate in Washington in the: person of Harry Morton. There with other live wires in that city from Alaska, including Emil Hurja, now high in the councils of the Administration, and Delegate Dimond, Jack Underwood, Bob Bart- lett and others devoted to the Northland, Harry Morton will be a member of a phalanx of Alaskans on whom this Territory can depend to exert their friendship to the Sourdough and to the Territory when occasion arises. Harry Morton and his esteemed family will carry with them the well wishes of their Northern friends—who are legion—and a sincere hail and farewell—but at the same time will leave behind an sincere feeling that in them Alaska and Anchor- age in particular will have in the national capital a new and abiding link of friendship: For Human Needs. (New York Times.) In the War the word “mobilization” became fam- iliar to millions in whose vocabulary it had never been before. It meant, of course, something more than mere mobility. It meant a purposeful, organ- ized, destinated mobility—the liberation of every effective latent force — natural, economic, social, spiritual. It is the “mob” transfigured into some- thing beyond the sum of individuals, even as all the members of a human body become spirit in action. It once had a narrow technical use. It has now come to mean a common moving together in some great cause. It is such a mobilizition that is pared by the national Sponsoring Human Needs under the direction Baker, who was the leader in the mobilization of the American forces in the World War. As then, it is a national movement in that all are to move together. But there is this difference, that the fighting for human needs is to be carried on in the thousands of communities and not in the mass- ing of forces in a few places. As the President said in his encouraging prefatory words, “We have to build from the bottom up and not merely supply food from the top down.” Community by community and State by State the needs must be met. We are better able to meet these needs than in the last two or three years, but it is not to be done by depending upon Federal funds. The Gov- ernment is already bearing 95 per cent of the material unemployment relief load. The communities must meanwhile do their utmost. And through the communities the responsibility comes down to the individual: “The first objective and the first neces- sity,” to use the President’s words, is that “the citizens of the community through the churches, the community chest, the social and charitable or- ganizations” do their share first. And as we begin with the individual “we come back in the end to individual responsibility.” In this mobilization no ione can be left out who has either money or |service, or ,both, to give. now being pre- Committee for of Newton D. Repeal returns are not astonishing. When the |people are feeling dull and out of sorts theyll |vote for anything that stimulates the imagination. —(Toledo Blade.) Some are born successful and some may acci- dentally achieve success, but business enterprises will do well to cooperate with the NRA —(Buffalo Courier-Express.)

WRITER KEEPS THEM GUESSING Ellery Queen Wears Mask When Making Person- al Appearances By WILLIAM GAINES NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—Ellery Queen is the mysiery story writer who never makes public appear- ances without a mask. o It's a pretty good stunt for get- "Ling publicity for Mr. Queen, and sometimes it has some very droll consequences. . Queen was going up to Colum- bia University to lecture before the Writers' Club. He happened to get in a taxi with a driver of; ebony hue. When the writer -hail- ed the cab he looked like just another harmless fare to the driver. But as the taxi drew near Queen’s destination, he took his mask from his pocket and put it on, so no one in front of the place| would catch him off his guard. At the stop the negro turned around, saw this ominous masked figure and gave a whoop that sounded to the high heavens. “Lawsy, boss,” he pleaded, four shades lighter from fear, “don’t take mah money away.” MASKED MARVEL This mask business is not such a joke to Queen in hot weather. He wears horn-rimmed spec- tacles and adjusts the eye holes in the black cloth over the lenses. When he warms up to the subject| of his lectures, perspiration steams; the glass and he has a hard time; seeing anything. Particularly bad, when he is reading from notes. | His mask used to cover his whole face, but he has been clip-| ping more and more off of it for/ comfort until now it just covers | the upper part. This same mask| has served him for three .years;[ ting a new one, although it is well worn. | he wanted to now. It's an agree- ment with his book publisher that| he wear it in all assemblages where‘i attention is focused upon him, al-! though he doesn't have to chal-| on the streets. His publisher also has his agree- ment that he conceal his right name and all biographical about himself before he became Ellery Queen. Recently he started editing a new detective story magazine. Some of his friends wanted to know if he were going to wear his mask in his office. He said no—unless perhaps when he has to tell a disappointed writer just how bad his stuff is. SLOW MOTION PICTURES Styles may come and go in mo- tion pictures, but Janet Gaynor holds on to her faithful New York following. Her latest film did a big box-office business here. Chic York and his wife, Rose King, are back from London, where they repeated former successes :n the music halls. They talk serious- ly of going into a Broadway show this fall, although the English want them back right soon. Their com- edy is distinctly of the American hick variety, heavily sauced with slap-stick, but London can't get enough.
