HELPS MINING OUTLOOK

News from the outside of the reduc- tion In prices of sugar, automo- piles, woolens and other important supplies presages a normal condition in the market generally before long. This means a great deal to the gold mining, the chief industry of Yukon and interior Alaska. The return of moderate prices will mean that much gold mining property which has been tied up because of the handicap of high costs of mining materials and food supplies will be brought within ahe workable range. Add to this the advantage gained of reducing by one half the cost of operation in frozen auriferous gravels by means of the newly discovered cold water thawing system, and tremendous area of placers in the noTthland will be made a gilt edge attraction. Such frozen gravels will be workable at far low eT costs than ever before. Hundreds of miles of creeks in the Yukon val ley which could not be touched at any time in the previous history of the north will be most desirable.
 The return of the low prices means the return of the purchasing power of gold, and the lower the prices of other commodities go, the more at tractive will gold yielding properties become Gold mining has been labor ing under most adverse conditions She last few years. Now the dawn is breaking Gold mining once more will come to it's own. The darkest hour has passed. The northland, in common with all other gold produc- ing sections of the globe, can rejoice of promise upon the horizon. Yukon and Alaska gold properties now being promoted or lying untouched will be sought eagerly by men of means who want to harvest the commodity for which there is always a demand
 Lower prices also will hold the silver miner in point of giving him commodities at lower costs with which to operate, and since there is a greater demand in the world for silver than ever, it is not at all likely that silver will decline in price for years, if at all. The enormous popularity of the silver screen has made vast new market for silver, and many nations are buying silver also for other purposes in larger quantities and promise to do so for years.
 The precious metals will be a high ly desirable commodity hereafter, and with lower costs of operating mate rials and foodstuffs the mining of gold and silver will experience no in considerable stimulus in the north land the coming year. Dawson News.

VISIT OF THE PRESIDENT

Every indication points to a visit of President Harding and Secretary Fall to Alaska during the summer and this will have tremendous effect upon the future of this immediate vicinity
 As pointed out previous to the visit of Secretaries Payne and Dan 1els it will be necessary, in order to advance local interests, for every interest affected by governmental pol icy to compile facts and data for presentation to the secretary of the interior. These interests are not con- fined solely to the chamber of com merce, but that body will naturally be compelled to accept the leadership for all interests. Unless the cham Der is fully informed on every topic, such as needs of settlers, coal leas- CTS, and other interests, it can but suggest a general policy, leaving the details to be picked up as best they can.
 Homesteaders, coal leasers, oil leasers and other interested parties should begin wrestling with the sub ject far in advance of the presidential visit and through cooperation evolve some general suggestion that will meet each and every phase of natural

SECRETARY MELLON AGREES TO
 FOREIGN FUNDING LOAN BILL.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Modifcation of the administrations foreign loan fund.- ing bill, so as to place the funding oper- ations under the Jurisdiction of a spe- cial commission was agreed to by Sec retary Mellon today in a letter sent to the house ways and means committed with the approval of President Hard ing.
 The revised measure as suggested in the secretaTy's letter would follow in some respects the changes already con- templated by house leaders
 Instead of giving supreme authority to the treasury secretary for refunding the loans, the new administration plan would entrust the task to a commission of five members, one of whom wou d be the secretary. The other four would be named by the president with the pro- vision that any nominee who is not a cabinet member must be confirmed by the senate.
 It is understood that administration leaders contemplate the inclusion of at least three cabinet members oin the pro- posed commission and it is possible that the entire membership may be chosen from the presidents official family Be l sides the secretary of the treasury, it 1 is believed that the secretary of state and the secretary of commerce may l have membership.

 CHARGE BY EMIL SCHUTE

Middletown, Conn.,, Oct IA. Emil Schutte, the Shailerville store keeper who is charged with the murder of three members of the Ball family an Decem- Der 10, 1915, today on the witness stand denied t ,e testimony of his own son, Ju- Illus, which had been that he, Schutte, had set fire to the Balls shack and then shot Joseph.

The witness said he did not remember but couldn't have been any where except at home" Under further direct ques- tionfng Schuttes testimony followed closely the story he had told in his di- rect continuation.

ASKS SPEEDY REMOVAL
 OF DEM. OFFICE HOLDERS

Washington, Oct. 14.-Speeding up of the replacement of democratic federal office holders with republican appoint .ees was urged today by Senator Elkins republican, West Virginia, who wrote a letter of complaint oevery member of phe cNolnet apdl tater F&~esented his views in an interview with President Harding.
 To the president, Senator Elkins de- clared that the republicans of his state were expressing impatience and disap- pointment that so little progress has 1 been made in the past eight months in calling to the support of the administra- i tion men loyal to 1t and in full sympa- thy with it.'
 A large majority of the important | positions in the government. the West 1 Virginia senator said, still are held by l deserving democrats whose party members he charged with having !aid a l thoroughly organized and handled plan" to keep their anpointees in | power.

SCOTLAND YARD READY
 TO DEAL WITH COMMUNISTS

London, Oct 14 (By the A, P).-In- formation obtained by police emissaries several weeks ago that noon yesterday had been fixed for the beginning of a revolution under the Communist ban ner accounted for the unprecedented preparations for dealing with any emer- gency by Scotland Yard, it was learned today.
 After what the Daily Herald, the labor ite organ terms "the battle of Picadilly" yesterday, when hundreds of mounted and foot police charged into crowds of unemployment demonstrators and bruised few heads, all was quiet today.
 Inquiry today elicited the fact tjhat yesterdays police preparations included the communicating of the metropolitan underground railways and the omnibus lines, if found necessary. which would have enabled the concentration of 15,000 police at any trouble center within half an hour.
 Last Wednesday, on the eve of the monster demonstration. the unemployed of one of the London suburbs were ad- dressed by a leader who told them:
 You must not break your lines to get drinks; take bottle of water with you.'
 When asked by one of his hearers what should be done with the bottles, the leader winked and said: T don't care how you get rid of the bottles" He then added You probably will have a long walk and will be on your feet a long time; so take with you a good stout stick it may be useful"

TRYoUT OF CANADIAN
 FISHERMEN'S SHIPS TO-DAY

Halifax, N. S., Oct. 14-Haddock and cod can make merry in Nova Scotian waters tomorrow, for the fishermen have hung up their nets for a day of sport.
 Jackknives were being waged tonight against salty slickers on the results of the elimination trials which will deter mine the smartest schooner in Nova Scotian fishing fleets.
 For this lucky craft will meet the E. sic out of Gloucester off this port on October 22 for the blue ribbon of the north Atlantic.
 CTS will get away to tomorrow's gun, will be picked by a point system; eight for first place, seven for second. six for third, five for fourth, four for fifth, three for sixth, two for seventh and one for eighth.
 However, if Canada. skippered by Captain Joseph Conrad, or Independ- 1 ence. handled by Captain Albert Him. snellman, win the elimination trials, there is serious doubt as to whether they will be permitted to compete in the international race because of their wa ter lines.
 In case the winners should be dis qualified, the Canadian race committed will pick as the challenger the schooner making the next best showing in the preliminaries.
 In addition to a trophy emblematic of the Canadian championship, the Oc- tette will race for six money prizes S1000 f,r first place; s700 for second ! $500 for third; and three prizes of S40C each for the next three boats.

IRISH CONFERENCE HAS
 ADJOURNED TILL MONDAY

London, Oct. 14 (by The A. P.)-The adjournment today of the Irish confer ence until next Monday has no political significance, it was understood tonight. The postOonement was attributed by the Sim FeiA delegates to the English mems passion for week-ending."
 Some of the Irish delegates are talk ing advantage of the interval to visit Ireland in order to deal with what was dscribed by the Sim Fein publicity de- partment as important departmental business.
 Considerable currency was given here today to sensational report of the or dering of uniforms for the Irish repub- lican army and the formation of a com pany to come to London to escort the Dahs delegation back to Ireland upon the conclusion of peace.
 The story, however, was ridiculed by Sim Fein leaders, who say no uniform ing of the army is going on and that there is no question of any detachment coming to London at any time.
 Since the truce there has been no in- terference by the military with the Irish republican army, uniformed or not, and it's existence has been official ly recognized for truce purposes, with the cooperation of liaison officers of the Irish republican army and the Brit. ish army.

 Caught but Clothing is Held

New York.

 For thieves, ignorant or needless of the Ghetto's inflexible rules of nuptial property, last night stole the whole works-43 gowns, 12 bridal costumes including veils and 34 full dress suits from Barnett Michaelson, purveyor to the district of such indispensibles. And now, the thieves caught, an almost equally unfeeling magistrate has inn pounded the regaia as evidence.
 Please judge" pleaded the distrait Michaelson, "I will be glad to let the prisoners go if I could only get back those gowns and suits. If those folks don't get my suits the wedding will be ruined and I will be lynched. Even the brides and groom's clothes are in this stuf.'
 But the law. admitted the judge, Is af- ter all the law.

The statement then gives a lengthy review of railroad finances and declares that 'it is manifest that the recent re- auctions of wages authorized by the labor board In no sense meets or solves the problem of labor costs and in any way makes it possible for the railroads to afford a reduction in their revenue"
 Later tonight MT. Lee said that the dis trict chairmen of the unions would re- ceive their final instructions tomorrow as to whether there would be a strike Asked point blank if strike would be ordered he said:
 T will not say definitely but were l l a betting man, I would place my money that there will be strike Regardless of what action is taken the final decision is only a matter of the rising and setting of a few suns. The district chairman will recieve their final orders tomorrow and then will go home My chairman have already been sent home and will receive their orders by mail"
 Asked concerning the reports that a strike effective October 30 had been de- i cided upon, MT Lee replied: 1 T won't answer that definitely, but il some one has told you that they have hit a lot Of malls on the head-perhaps they are not exactly right, but they are driv- ing close"

At that time another bill pro- viding for ,reapportionment under the 1920 census without increasing the mum Der of members was passed by the house but no action was taken on it by the senate.
 Opponents of the bill tonight contend ed that the house already was an un- wieldy body and that it would function less efficiently with an increased mem bership. Chairman Siegel and Repre- sentative Larsen O. Georgia, democrat ic member of the committee. pleaded for the measure, while Representatives Fair field and Rankin. democrats. Mississippi. directed the attack against it. Party lines were disregarded in the final vote.
 Announcement by Representative Mon dell. the republican leader, that although he had opposed an increase in the size of the house at the last session. he favored the Siegel bill, brought criticism. from several republicans opposed to the meas ure, Representatives Cooptn, Wisconsin and Beedy, Maine. being particularly emphatic in their remarks.
