He alsd admitted he ordered Assistant Chief of Police William Markle off his truck and drove it down the street The government contends it was tanding on the truck that the ordered the streets cleared and were jeered and booed. The witness identified C. W. “Tiny" Farlin, one of the de ] the cold storage plant taking a chew of tobacco. He saw other union men, he said, but saw none of them doing anything excepting talking and walking around. Girl on Stand Miss Louise Tanner, pretty Juneau High School girl, followed Geyer to the stand and testified that at- tended several union meetings prior to the alleged disturbance, but heard no reference to guns or clubs. Miss Tanner said that she went to the meeting in the AB hall with a girl friend, “because she was of the class, and w Interested problems.” They proceded nt Street, stopping in agle's Store oppoesite She testified that t ing to stop the marc! neared that point, but that two or three men ‘whom she did not know came in front of the group and start- ed talking to them. As thé crowd be- gan to gather, and after' the fire truck appeared, Miss Tanner said she and her friend went about half a block north to cross the street, en- tered Mrs. Olsen’s bodrding house adjoining the union hall, and saw the alleged rioting start from a sec- ond story window of that building. Saw No Fight She said she saw no particular fight that she could remember, and heard no one order that the striet be cleared. Miss Tanner, whose parents oper- ate the Scandinavian Rooms, said she saw police release tear gas, and N. R. Correll pick up a tear gas bomb and throw it back. On cross examination by Assistant Attorney George W. Folta, high school girl denied that her parents ever discussed the labor mat- | ter with her, | hostility to the District Attorn office as a result of the arrests. The | 1atter question brought protest from the defense counsel. She declared she first talked | matter over with Defense Attorney Irwin Goodman about two weeks ago, and that she saw him again with Senator Roden last night when they subpoenaed her as a witness. Bulldezer Witness Tony Kovich, member of the Alas- ka Mine Workers Union and bull- next to take the witness chair. Say- ing that he has been a resident of Alaska for 21 years, five of them in Juneau, Kovich said that he attend ed the union meeting the night be fore the asserted trouble, and hear Al Nygren, Charles Crozier and N Heard address the gathering. emphatically denied hearing any ref- | erence to guns and clubs, at that or any of the previous meetings he at- tended. Kovich said he went to the AB hall, and walked down from there with Warren Beavert and Lee Johnson. | wick Bowling Alleys because ‘the sidewalks were jammed, and denied | that Beavert ran ahead of anyone. He added that he pressed through the crowd to the union hall, followed 2y Beavert, and last saw him abou 15 feet from the,building. Kovich testified he later saw Beav- ert help pick Sam Elstad up from the | treet in front of the AJ employment ffice, and noticed that Beavert had olcod on his face. Defense counsel rously objecied when Foita asked Kovich to tell how Beavert said he 20t the head injury. The objection was overruled, but Kovich said that Beavert only told him he gof club- | bed. Kovich was being cross-examined 2n the stand at*thé hoon recess. AFTERNOON SESSION Tony Kovich again took the stand [2t the opening of the afternoon {session, and, after being asked to identify some of the suspects he v| saw on the day of the alleged dis- turbance, was excused. Defense counsel objected attempt of the Government to call Victor Cuff to the stand, and Cuff was not called after it was agreed by the defense that he would be asked to testify before they closed their case. Frank (“Peanuts”) Luyckfossil, former bulldozer at the mine, gave testimony concerning the alleged riot. He said that he was a charter member of the union, but due to non-payment of dues was not a member in good standing by June 24. He said that he went to the A. B. Hall on the day of the al- leged disturbance, and walked alone fropi there to the union hall. He said he saw about 25 men in front of the hall, tmost of them stand- ing on the sidewalks.

He declared he saw no weap- ons on Beavert. g Later he and Beavert were stand- ing by the side of the road near | the Juneau Lumber Mills' sawdust burner when five or six men with clubs attacked Beavert and knock: ed him down, the witness said. Luyckfassil said he left for the mine employment office because he didn’t want to be hit, and later saw Beavert there. He did not see any blood on Beavert, h¢ said.

Various western and northwestern farm leaders and lumber men voice concern over the prospect of increas- ed inports ‘of Canadian ‘timber and agricultural commodities, including cattle and dairy products. In calculating the net political re- action, however, it must be remem-+ bered that the west and northwest also will be remindeéd by the Demo- crats of other Roosevelt policies dur- ing the coming campaign. Unquestionably the outpouring of AAA benefit payments is a factor which can be presented as over- shadowing the supposed effect of a treaty which, after all, is a remote instrument compared to a bankable check. Similarly, in the lumber country, the reclamation and power During the lengthy ecross exam-| | many communities. | 1t is also possible vae Democratic leaders may be able to link toget! {in the public mind the trade treaty !and the unratified St. Lawrence wat- |erway treaty. That would be par- ‘mcularly likely if, as reported, the President asks for another vote on he St. Lawrence pact next session | And it is worth nothing that when the ‘waterway treaty failed of rati- fication last session, it drew its chief support, regardless of party lines, from the west and northwest. Fletcher Hesitated Conversely, much of the Republi- can caution doubtless is traceable to the fact that the trade agreement has been accepted with such equani- mity in those quarters where Repub- lican hopes for 1936 are highest. ‘Some of the largest manufacturing | industries, centering in the East, see possible benefits from the lowering of Canadian import duties against shipments from the United States. The stock market's reaction was 2a buying spree which carried some se- curities to their highest peak in many months. | Then there is the further confus- | ing fact that by the'treaty the Roose- | velt administration has leaned dis- tinctly in the direction of a freer movement of industry, a leveling of artificial barriers and regulations. What this may mean as to the gen- eral trend of economic thought at Washington is a matter for specula- tion. Altogether, it is a scrambled pic- ture politically. Mr. Hoover has con- demned the treaty unhesitatingly but most of the others who have been mentioned as possible Republi- can candidates for President have chosen to wait. PN i Y FOUR KILLED IN THD COLLISIDS b3 ’.__C‘ 3 DENVER, Colo, Dec. 5—Death claimed four lives in two train and automobile collisions today. Theodore Waller, his wife, Char- lotte S. Waller and her mother, Mrs. Lillian Reynolds, were killed when a freight train hit their car south of Denver. Archie R. Blodgett was hurled to death when his auto crashed into the side of another freight! YOUR NAME, MISS 27 e T0 NUNIVAK BY (GAME PATROLS Caribou Virtually Extinct on Island, Says Com- missioner Williams Four musk-ox from the herd at i the University of Alaska were taken | to Nunivak Island last August abpard { the motorship Meteor, owned by | Frank P. Willlams, Alaska Game issioner at St. Michael, who arrived here last night aboard the Northwestern from Seattle. Caribou, cnce plentiful on Nunivak Island | became extinct there morg/ than 30 years ago, Mr. Williams said, the last | trace cf the vanishing herds having dizappeared in 1903. About ten years | {azo the island was stocked with | { reindeer which are thriving and mul- | tiplying rapidly. No one has ever dis- | | covered the reason why the caribou | vanished from that region, he said | Mr. Williams, who has operated a trading post at St. Michael since 1898, was a southbound passenger on the last voyage of the Victoria from Nome, arriving in Seattle on October | 30. He expects to be in Juneau unti the scuthbound sailing of the Alaska, {about December 18, and will remain in Seattle until next spring, when he will return to St. Michael aboard his twin-screw motiorship Meteor, | now in Seattle. Is Mail Currier Lact spring the Meteor was the first vessel to arrive in 8t. Michael, reaching that port June 9, 44 days after leaving Seattle. The Meteor carries the mail during the summer NEW SILVER months between St. Michael, and Kotzebue. Tundra grizzlies, a specie of brown bear not so large as Kodlak bears, are plentiful in his district, Mr. Wil- liams said, and kill many reindeer. Caribou in the St. Michael region are scarce, having been largely re- placed by reindeer herds. There are no moose in that district as there is very little timber below Anvik on the Yukon river. | In the early days, Mr. Willlams said, white foxes taken in the St. Michael district averaged about ten times as plentiful as reds, but now| ed foxes are more than ten times as abundant as whites. Considerable | quantities of mink and muskrat pelts are taken in that area, but lynx are ccarce and the trapping of beaver and marten are'prohibited.” Most of the silver fox pelts, a color phase of he red variety, and a majority of the blue fox pelts, a white fox color phase, which reach the fur markets at the present time, are ranch-raised specimens, Mr. Williams said. Good Crep of Ducks “We raised a pretty good crop of ducks this year for you fellows to hoot,” Mr. Williams said. “About 75 pereent of them are pintails, but we have a few of all varieties.” Emperor, white, and Canada geese are also bred in that district, he said, and beth snow-shoe ibts and arctic hares are native to that area. “Our principal problem is too much territory,” he said. “In the Slate: they often have more gam> wardens in a single county than we have in the whele Second division.” - D MRS.

What this company means to the business commun- ity of Juneau. “Why Alaskans should invest in Gold Mining Today.” Everyone following his or her varied individual pur- suits either in Commercial—Governmental—or Social Life in Alaska—~is .aiding in ‘the development of this vast northern empiré—and must realize that the natural mineral resources—are the very backbone of this whole northern country—that tdday challenges the courage of each and everyone of you to become directly interested. Tremendous gold mining opportunities—almost inex- haustible in a country barely scratched—are yours for the ‘asking, if you can handle them. Why not take advantage ot the most modern—scien- tific. gald mining machinery today—put it to work— create more wealth—add to the employment of many— stimlulate more business—and create a greater personal and national welfare for everyone? ‘This whoie northern country—YOUR LAST GREAT WEST—offers opportunities to thousands of people—if they will but realize it—and co-operate themselves to- gether or incorporate themselves together—to be able to handle thes¢ opportunities efficiently. Modern Dredges — Modern Draglines — Modern Hy- draulics—are a tremendous success—why not put more of them into operation? 1 know personally from years out there in the placer goid country of many oppor- tunities for such equipment to be used successfully and profitably—it handled by efficient organizations built by men of integrity—determined to be successful. Some peopie will say—why aun't you take your properties to the bigger companies they have lots of money—that is just it théy have plenty of money—but they also have years and years of valuable mineral re- sources tied up for theit future too—that gives 0s no benefit today—In this vast northern country—there is a lot of .room . for many more big mining companies to OPERATE — RIGHT NOW - realizing this Interna- tional Highway Gold Mining and Exploration Co., Inc., is carving its own way to the (qu Look today at the manifold advantages given to gold mining in the north: —In addition to the-finest mod- ern equipment you have a new transportation—by air. The "OLD TIMERS" blazed a difficult and hazard- ous trail—they brought out millions by their own physical effort—and invincible courage. Today a few minutes or hours carries you through the alr to the most remote places. Aviation today is one of the greatest boosts to the gold mining industry here in the north. You have all seen the local advance in aviation in the past few years—and yet it is now only just getthg started. In 1929 I personally spent six weeks travelling with my dog-team along ‘a route that is today serviced by plane-—the same country can be covered in two hours and take ten times the load. “Now here are the reasons WHY you should invest in Gold Mining Today.” Because—your operations are immediate—your returns are speeded up to the first year—-your contacts can be made daily with your field operations by using the radio—And further your com- pany activities summer and winter are constant—you are sluicing for gold six months of the summer and drill testing during the winter and preparing for the spring operations—and alsp the price of gold today is very nearly doubled what it used to be—think of it! ‘Gold MINING TODAY IS—ALIVE—more sp than ever before in the history of the north.” % If you want to be a real sourdough—a real north- erner—invest in gold mining today—especially in ' such an institution as the International Highway Gold Min- ing and Exploration Co., Inc,, up by—ALASKANS —FOR ALASKANS—TO KEEP NORTHERN GOLD—IN THE NORTH! 3 » It is not only my personal conviction and omn,(on —but you can all see the evidence—that the north Is slowly’ surging forward into one of the greatest mining booms in history. Success was not so certain in gold mining in the past —due to apny natural dlsadvmuc&—m'lr“theg;u‘t’ Is not TODAY-—old time barriers have ”‘f?f?e torn down— modern equipment—{ast. transportation—the power given by the new "price ot'{:old—)\u; ARE UNITED—in un- locking the doors of mineral wealth in many many sections today—and—unless YOU become directly inter- ested in gold mining ‘investments*~YOU cannot hope to share in the wealth that is being brought home to others.
