GOVERNMENT AND

UNTERMEYER THEME

Salt Lake City, Utah. Oct. 30
1.-The time has long since passed for
the claim that the government should
not interfere with business de-
clared Samuel Untermcyer, the New
York lawyer, In addressing the
Bonneville Club here last night.
That aphorism, he continued. ZAP
plies to by-gone day when bust
ness was small and local. We all
recognize now that for years past
business has controlled the govern
ment and the time has come when
government must regulate and con-
troll business"
The speaker named among the
leading problems OF the day railroad
control. the protection of minority
stockholders in big corporations.
regulation of these corporations in
the public interest, regulation OF
stock exchanges and the present cot
ton situation.
Vast abuses in which the public is
the helpless loser have grown up in
all of these problems except the cot
ton problem, the speaker said, and
he made suggestions for reform.
Touching the railroad situation, he
said:
Confidence in their stability has
been SO far destroyed that upon the
opening of the exchanges we shall
not only have foreign holdings
dumped upon us beyond our capacit,
to absorb them but we shall find our
home investors equally Drecipitate in
their desire to unload
A number Of the great railroad
systems, he stated, are either in the
hands of receivers or on the verge of
receiverships. Government supervis-
ion thus far has proved superficial,
he declared

Mr.. Untcrmeycr placed little stock
In the assertion Of railroad chiefs
that their troubles arc due TO the
,exactions of labor and hostility of
the government -
II think 1t will be found as q re-
suit of the physical valuation of
properties that is now under way and
of an investigation of moneys that
have gone into the properties that
they are paying remunerative returns
upon the actual investment, except
in instances where the roads were
badly conceived or dishonesty or In
com2etcntly managed" he cOntin-
ued. ..
The visitor referred to the suggcs-
tion made by President Ripley of the
Santa Fe road. at dinner of the
Knife and Fork Club at Kansas City
recently, that the government shall
guarantee the roads certain per-
centage of earnings and that the gov.
eminent be represented on the
board of directors. Mr.. Untermeyer
asserted that the Ripley plan had at
least the germ of a practical solh-
ton, but he thought that Ripley
wanted too high a percentage Of
earnings guaranteed Untermeyer
added that government representa-
tion on the boards would not be
enough-thc government should con-
troll the boards, he said.

partner Tommy Garneau when the
rope which was hosting the bucket

had to leave him in the shaft while
he went to another camp II miles

NATIVE BOY KILLED
IN A SN0WSL|DE

A native boy recently lost his life
in a snowslide neax Paxton's road
house on the Fairbanks trail. He
started out hunting in the morning
and when he failed to return at
night his father gave the alarm.
Both whites and natives organized
searching party and followed his
tracks to the edge of snowslide.
The boy had been wearing snow
shoes and was found head down. He
had been able to kick off one of the
shoes but the other was tied in such
a manner that he was unable TO
free himself from it and had
smothered before aid reached him.

Copies of the bill introduced in
Congress by Delegate Wickersham
to amend the land laws of Alaska
were received in the last mail. The
bill provides for the creation of a
land Office in each of the four judi
cial divisions, with headquarters at
Juneau, Valdez, Nome and Fair
banks. A register and receiver at
each office to receive salary of
$4,000 per year.
Scrip locations are limited by
being barred from tide or shore
lands, or upon the banks of any
navigable streams or waters, or
within one mile of such tide or
shore lands. Citizens who have
used their homestead rights in any
other state or territory shall not be
barred from exercising their home
stead right in Alaska. Homesteads
are to be surveyed by the govern
ment without expense to the home
steader; sections 16 and SO to be
reserved for school sections; -one
section near Fairbanks to be re-
served for the University of Fair
station.
By the provisions of the bill the
mining laws passed by the Alaska
legislature and approved by the
governor on April 13, 1913, are
disapproved. 1t provides that no
association placer mining claim shall
be located in excess of 40 acres.
That during each year, including
the year of location, and until
patent has been issued not less than
500 worth of labor shall be per-
formed or improvements made for
development, on each location. The

affidavit of representation specifying
the work performed. Powers of at
torney must be filed in the recorders
Office in the judicial division where
the location is made. Any person
may locate not more than two
claims or one association for any
one principal or association during
any calendar month.
Section l6 provides that mo per-
son shall hereafter locate, cause or
procure to be located, for himself
more than two placer mining claims
in any calendar month; provided,
that one or both of such locations
may be included in an association
claim" Violation of this act renders
the location of the whole area null
and void.
Attorney E. E. Ritcnie, of Valdez,
who is now in Cordova attending the
term of federal court, has been noti
fed that the circuit court of appeals
has affirmed the decision given in
favor of James Heney against the
Copper River G. Northwestern Rail-
road for $2,225, for injuries sus-
tanned in the Chitina tunnel several
years ago.

Attorney Edmund Smith, who
formerly lived in Valdez but now
residing in Seattle, believes he has
conceived plan which if followed
out will hasten the building of the
government railroads in Alaska. He
has marked map of Alaska show
ing where the railroads ought to be
built and asks the Chambers of
Commerce of Cordova, Valdez and
Seward to unite in bringing it to
the attention of the commission
which will be appointed by the
president to select the routes.
The plan does not embrace leas-
ing or the purchase of the Copper
River & Northwestern railroad. II

Yentna as development required,
branch from the trunk line a
short distance north of Copper
Center running westward through
the Nelchina gold fields and Matan-
uska coal fields to connect with the
Seward line near the head of Cook S
Inlet.
|. Mr.. Smith states that this system
of railroads would cover practically
all of Alaska that has any need of
railroads at the present time and
amounts to $50 miles of road. He
believes one coast terminal will
open up and develop all sections of
Alaska, and that his plan should
meet with the approval of the
Copper River & Northwestern rail-
road company as it would provide a
valuable feeder for their line.
He fears that if the Alaska towns
which want to be the ocean ter
minus of the trunk line get to fight
ing among themselves that the con-
struction of the railroads may be
delayed indefinitely.
A persistent rumor has been cir
culating in Cordova to the effect
that a rich strike had been made on
Gold Run creek in Shushanna dis
trict but is apparently without
foundation. There are number of
prominent mining men from that
district now in COrdova and they
place little faith in the story OF the
rich find. All agree, however, that
it is we'll within the possibilities of
the camp, in fact they expect some
thing of the sort but are not desir-
Gus of starting stampede unless
conditions justify it.
Conservative, experienced miners
who have spent several months in
the district believe that many of the
miners have struck pay on their
claims but have not spread the news
broadcast. Some of the best ground
in the district has already been in
volved in litigation which threatens
to retard development work, and
curtail the output for the coming
season. Miners who have struck
pay hesitate to tell of their good
fortune for fear of starting litiga-
ton over their own or adjoining
claims.

M. P. P. Riis, who went to Shu-
shanna last fall has returned to
Cordova and is stopping at the
Windsor. He believes the camp has
a good future, sufficient pay having
been located last fall to warrant
this belief. Another feature which
has strongly impressed him is the
fact that many fine specimens of
mineralized quartz, many of them
showing free gold, have been picked
up by prospectors and hunters. He
believes that even should the plac-
ers be found not to extend over a
wide area that the quartz will more
than make up the average of
Alaskan camps. The country looks
good to him and he believes pay will
be located on large number of
creeks when the miners are able to
open up the ground.
Mr.. Riis has been in the other
Alaskan camps and states that none
of the experienced miners are
knocking the camp. they are work
ing to reach bedrock and have faith
in the camp making good. The
ground is mostly thawed and water
has kept the miners back. There
are many good practical miners,
with years of experience in other
interior camps, who are preparing
to operate next summer and have
spent the winter getting up wood
and other preparations. With his
partner, Maurice A. Runge, he has
been prospecting bench claims on
the eastern slope of the Shushanna,
with Indifferent success. His part
ner will remain in the camp all
summer

Louis Dahl is Q recent arrival
from Shushanna, where he has been
mining on Johnson creek, having
sunk eight holes to bedrock, where
the pay runs from 10 to Is cents to
the pan. The ground is shallow, it
being from four to eight feet to
bedrock, which is of a porphry and
rhilote formation. Mr.. Dahl is
very optimistic as to the future of
the camp and he came to Cordova
to get an outfit and will return to
the diggings on Thursdays train.
Mr.. Dahl made the trip from
Shushanna to Mccarthy in exactly
"a hours, including stops at the
roadhouses and reports the trail
over the glacier in excellent condi-
ton. He left the camp at $50
o'clock on the morning of March 3
and at GAO the next morning was
eating breakfast in Mccarthy. The
trip was made light and with team
of eight dogs.
There Is a large settlement at
the mouth of Bonanza creek" says
Mr.. Dahl, 1.-THE men living princi-
pally in tents. although number
of cabins are in course of construc-
ton. The lumber for these is being
brought from Johnson and Alder
creeks, which is a haul of four
miles through a narrow canyon. On
Johnson creek there are between
800 and 400 cabins and they are
all occupied. Lots of the old-timers
from Dawson are arriving at
Chisana and the settlement on
Bonanza is composed mostly Of
Klondikers.'

In compliance with the new order
issued from the attorney-generaPs
office closing the saloons in Alaska
on Sunday, the doors of Cordova's
thirst quenching emporiums were
closed yesterday for the first time
in their history. From different
parts of the territory come reports
that the saloonmen are preparing to
fight the order but the proprietors
of Cordova appear to regard it in
philosophical manner and complied
with the law without a murmur.
In Fairbanks the saloons are
forced to keep a record of all per-
sons who take liquor from the prem
Uses. This is ostensibly for the pur-
pose of checking the sale of liquor
to natives but also informs the
officers where they are liable to find
..'little in the bottle for the morn
ing" The tight-wads took advan-
tage of the saloons being closed to
make good fellows of themselves by
inviting their friends to have some
thing.

OF GENERAL INFORMATION.

OudTleS "A. EUy, WHO has ucSA
connected with S. Blum & Co. s
bank in Cordova for several years as
cashier was arrested today charged
with embezzling $500 of the funds
of the bank. The arrest caused a
sensation as the accused has occu-
pied prominent position in the
social and business life of Cordova
since his arrival here five years ago.
The warrant upon which he was
arrested was sworn out by the
American Surety Company who
bonded the accused in the sum of
$4,000. He was given a prelim-
mary hearing this afternoon before
Commissioner Adams and was
bound over to the grand jury with
bail fixed at $4,000.
The system Of populations is be-
lieved to have extended over long
period of time as the bank officials
had the utmost confidence in his
honesty and integrity. The officials
of the bank have, however, known
of the shortage for several weeks
and notice was recently pub
lished announcing that he was no
longer connected with the bank. The
warrant upon which he was taken
in charge is as follows:
"That said Chas. A. Eby on the
18th of February, 1914, was an
officer, agent and employee of S.
Blum & Co., as cashier of their
bank, had in his possession and
under his care the sum of $500,
which money came in his possession
and under his control by virtue OF
his employment in the bank and was
the personal property of S. Blum &,
Co.; that he unlawfully, wilfully
and feloneously did embezzle and
fraudulently convert the same to his
own use."
When interviewed this afternoon
by a representative of the Daily
Alaskan, Manager Brock of the 5.
Blum & Co.'s bank affirmed the re-
ported shortage and stated that he
had been cognizant OF the facts
since about the middle of February.
He also states that the bank is fully
protected from loss as the cashier
was bonded by the American Surety
Company in the sum of $4,000.
Immediately after the shortage was
discovered the officers of the bank
notified the surety company and
they are now prepared to make good
the shortage up to the amount of
the bond. Mr.. Brock states that
the bank will not lose dollar
