THE GOLD CONFERENCE

The gold conference to be held in con- nection with the annual convention of the American Mining Congress at St. Louis in a few days is one of great interest to Alas ka and especially to the interior districts. It is going to seek solution of the eco- homie problems for the producer and if it does so 1t may revive the mining industry of this country beyond all hopes and ex- pectations
 The purpose of the conference as set forth by the announcement sent broadcast ,o members of the American Mining Cc gress is as follows:
 The American Mining Congress is con- vinced that the nation must now be aroused to the serious meaning of the threatened failure of the; gold supply, and that this is the psychological hour to secure the con- sideration of a practical program of nation |al legislation which will rehabilitate the gold mines of the United States.
 The necessity of maintaining our gold reserve and at the same time meeting the demands of the trade, is apparent to both producers and financiers, but the imprac- ticability of changing the present price of gold without overturning the present mone- tary system and affecting international re- lations is also apparent.
 The trade demands for gold in the

QUALITY DEMONSTRATED

The farmers of this district are un- doubtedly considerably encouraged over the outcome of Mr. Dutcher's examination of the grain standards of the crops being grown here at the present time. And they have every right to be since it demon strates that the wheat and oats being pro- duced are of superior quality and would command top prices on any market.
 Previous seasons experience had convinced local farmers that the problem of maturing grain crops had been solved The result of the season just ended only confirms that belief. Even lowland crops were fully matured last fall and hillside harvests were never better. While the crop statistics for the past year are not yet con- plete, those who have made estimates on the yield say that the average per acre of both wheat and oats will be materially larg- CT than the average for the grain produc- ing districts of the states.
 This production comes from land which has never had any fertilization. On a small field of a few acres, one farmer obtained better than 23 bushels of wheat per acre on flat low-lying ground which during six previous seasons had been producing oat crops. It is such records as these that prove the possibility of this country as grain producer. And the case mentioned is by no means the best record of last sea- son. Many other farmers with hillside land in cultivation can and will show better rec- ords of yield when the final statistics are obtainable
 Both quality and quantity production have been demonstrated. Coming seasons of harvest can but add to the success al- ready attained. Those who doubt the pro- ductiveness of the North have but to make a trip to the storehouses and see for them selves what has been done

bloodsoaked battlefields of France at the call of their country and returned to that country only to be shot by cowardly assas- sins who neither fouth nor worked for their country when it was in danger.
 It is characteristic of the attack, that those at whom the murderers struck had no chance to strike back. Secreted among the housetops, the I.W.W deliberately selected their victims and fired without compunc- tiOn into the ranks of unarmed men,
 From all accounts the attack was car ried out in strict keeping with the teach ings of the I. w. w. gospels. There is no room in America for such men and their methods. Freedom to them means an op- portunity to commit crime, lawlessness and depravity their natural state of existence.
 The government has been too forbear- ing and lenient with this class for years. The time has come when it can no longer ignore the danger its continuation has for the citizens of the country. Officials should not cease their campaign against them un- til the entire red element is either behind the bars or deported to some country where their peculiar talents might make them more desirable citizens Americans they never were and never will be.
The weekly Alaska citizen., 1919-11-17

United States during the present year, ac- cording to the best obtainable statistics, will exceed the total production of gold in this country by $l5,OOOOOO, and next year, if the present ratio of decrease in produc- tion and increase ill demand is maintained, the trade shortage will be $2O,OOO,OOO.
 The fact that the trade can purchase gold from the treasury of the United States at the coinage value, thus allowing private profit from product which is now losing money for the producer furnishes us with food for serious thot.
 The distress of the producers is re- flected ill all mining communities, and this unsatisfactory condition pertains not only to the United States but to all other gold producing sections of the world.
 What is to be done about it?
 It is for you to decide.
 That conference should be informed of the actual conditions as they effect the gold mining industry as they exist in and thru out interior Alaska. The headquarters of the Alaska Chapter of the American Min ing Congress is in Fairbanks. It has data and can give all the necessary information as to the things which must be overcome before the industry can prosper here. It has members in the states, some of whom may be in attendance at the convention, or who might be induced to go there and put Alaska's case before the conference.

FAIRBANKS BOY
 MEETS LUMPKIN
 AT CONVENTION
CARL FLEISCHMAN ATTENDED BIG EPISCOPAL CONvETION IN DETROIT, WHERE HE SAW REV. Ii. H. LUMPKIN AND OTHER ALASKANS.

In letter received here in the last mail from Carl Fleischman, son of MT. and Mrs. Tobias Fleischman of tlls community, he tells of his pres ence in Detroit, Mich, where he was attending the annual Episcopal church convention. Carl says that he had met Rev. H. H. Lumpkin, the well known Fairbanks rector, who was also in Detroit for the conven- tion.
 Among the others seen in Detroit, Carl mentions Bishop Peter Trimble Rowe and Archdeacon Stuck. He also tells of visiting Rev. Guy Madara in New York just before coming to De- troit. He expected to remain in the latter city for two or three weeks, and take side trip to Canadian points before returning to the east.

NO ROOM FOR REDS

If the raids being made turnout the states by federal officials on radical or ganizations and leaders needed any justi- fication, it can be found in the unwarranted and murderous attack made Tuesday in Centralia, Washington, on former soldiers during an Armistice Day parade. For this attack is an exemplification of the doc- trines taught and practiced by the I. w. w. and similar organizations.
 There is real tragedy in the fact that those former soldiers had braved the Hun submarine dangers, faced his armies on the

RERGER's PUNISHMENT

The action of the house of representa- tives in denying Victor Berger, the Mill waukee socialist and formerly mayor of that city, the right to sit in the house as a member of the Wisconsin delegation was not designed as punishment for Berger's s anti-war activities and efforts to hinder the active prosecution of the war by Amer ica. but comes as a natural result of the course deliberately chosen by MT. Berger. It is not the duty of the house to punish the man, the courts are charged with that responsibility, but it is the right of con- gross to adjudge the qualifications of its membership
 There was no effort made before the house to show that Berger had not been regularly elected by the people of Mill waukee district. In fact there had never been any question as to the legally of his election. But the house did question his fitness to be a member on account of prov en seditious activities. It could have takel, no action other than the one pursued and maintained it's own self-respect.
 Other men have lost seats in congress, in both houses. Some on account of being implicated in or beneficiaries of electiol chicanery, others thru technical errors in election machinery or returns. But tE man who deliberately cheated his way to congress and being found out and unseated has this to his credit-he did not attempt to betray his government in an hour of peril MT. Berger has unqiue distinction to his credit, that his questionable activities while his country was at war with the hosts of autocracy caused him, even tho legal representative of his district, to be denied a seat in the halls of congress. In the eyes of the so-called left wing socialists this may but add to his prestige, but to all honest, loyal and patriotic Americans it will be forever bar from fellowship.

ALASKA FISHERIES

The conservation of Alaska's fishing resources thru adequate protection to it's spawning streams and other waters by re- striction of sane regulation of fisheries is of vital importance to the territory's future prosperity. The millions of dollars which have come from this industry in the past are but fraction of the ultimate yield if proper measures for protection are insti- tuted.
 It is gratifying to see that Delegate Grigsby recognizes the requirements of the situation and is preparing bill to meet them. He should be supported in this work by all Alaskans regardless of politics. If he succeeds in having enacted into law measure such as it proposed he will have earned the thanks of the entire territory and justified his election even should he ac- compish nothing else of importance in his entire term.
 He probably won't get the bill thru congress without some difficulty There has in the past been tendency on the part of congress to allow outsiders, unacquaint- ed with the real needs of the territory, to devise the laws under which we work out our material salvation, which is one of the strongest reasons why it hasn't been ac compished to any greater extent. It is to be hoped that Mr. Grigsby will meet with greater success than has attenedd efforts of some of his predecessors. There is no question as to the need for the enactment of such legislation if our fishing resources are to be perpetuated.

A FEW FACTS ABOUT THE OCEAN
(Gunnery Bulletin)

It has been roughly figured that the surface of the earth is 140,O0O,000 square miles. Of this surface 83,000,000 square miles is covered with water. This means that 71 per cent of the earth's surface is ocean.
 The volume of the water may be esti- mated to be 324OOO,OOO cubic miles, or fourteen times the volume of all the land above sea level.
 The greatest depth which has ever been recorded is 5348 fathoms. This is a little over six miles. The spot referred to is east of the island of Mindanao in the Philippine Islands.
 Three and one-half per cent of all the sea water is solid matter in solution, chief of which is common salt. This salt is gath cred up by rivers and carried to the sea. River water is not very salty, but the sea keeps getting saltier because the sea water which is evaporated Qeaving the salt be- hind) goes back to the land as rain and re- turns in rivers bringing more salt with it. All the salt which enters the sea in rivers never leaves it.
 Eighty per cent of all the sea water is below 40 degrees in temperature. This ap- plies to the tropics as we'll as the North Pole. Below 2OOO fathoms anywhere the water is just fraction of degree above freezing. ]

COAL STRIKE ENDS

In three words President Lewis, of the United Mine Workers, in announcing the decision of the general committee to obey the courts mandate, summed up the entire case made out by the government. "We are Americans"
 If he had talked an hour, written reams on the justice of the miners de- mands, he could not have given any better reason why the coal strike should never have been called, nor why the courts order cancelling the strike should be obeyed.
 In the very nature of the strike, there was contained threat against the welfare of big body of the citizenship of the United States. It was in fact national calamity, if it could be carried out accord ing to the plans of the unions. It was call ed at time when by the suffering and hardship it brot on the masses of people it would cause pressure to be brot on the operators to yield or make any concessions necessary to secure fuel supplies. It de- pended on the pressure of coal famine on large body of people for its success. It was unAmerican in every essential.
 MT. Lewis and his co-workers very probably will not concede that much even now that the strike has failed But his recognition of the duty of American citi- zens toward the governments s authority as embodied in its courts, tardy tho it may be, is gratifying and contrasts the attitude that has been assumed by the American Fedora tion of Labor and its president, Samuel Gompers.
The weekly Alaska citizen., 1919-11-17

The strike will end, says MT. Lewis, because we are Americans and cannot fight the government. It is to be hoped that MT. Gompers will be equally as broadminded when the smarting sting of defeat has been soothed by the passage of time
The weekly Alaska citizen., 1919-11-17

Turnout the controversy, subsequent to the issuance of the restraining by the fed eral court at Indianapolis, the federation has openly advocated adherence to the strike order by the miners. It has stub bornly maintained that the government was exceeding it's authority in asking for an injunction and deliberately offered the miners all the support of organized labor if they would ignore the courts mandate.
 The entire country must have been sur prised by such stand on the part of the American Federation of Labor Its former
