opened and too late to work out any
effective counter move. In fact. the
action came as such surprise that the
Dali members did not know what to do
with it when called upon by De Valera
to suspend the regular order, which
was the discussion of the treaty itself,
and take action, on his resignation,
which incidentally would eliminate Col :

Of the Cabinet from responsible posi- >

Millions Of Marks In Precious Metal

Berlin, Jan. Try A. P.)-The
sands In the River Elder have been found
to be rich with gold, according to re-
ports from Waldeck in Thuringia.
Gold has been known to be in the
river sands for several years, but until
recent drought which dried up the
stream, It was not realized that the de-
posts we're rich enough to make their
exploitation commercially profitable.
Modern machinery is to be used, and
the promoters say they are certain they

The marked depletion of the fishing catch has occasioned some what widespread fears of the des- trnction of the salmon industry. but there is reinsurance in the fact that similar fears entertained as long ago as 1907. which found expression ir a public message. were not realized and the salmon industry developed amazingly in the years ensuing However it is of the utmost import ance to conserve this wonderful in dustry along the Alaska shores and to prevent wasteful methods and means of operation.
 Agriculture Is making marked pro gross in Alaska, in spite of adverse general conditions. Homesteaders In the interior. in the Panama, Matanus- ka and Susitna valleys. are demon strating the farming resources and possibilities of this rich country. Larger and more accessible markets will assuredly mean many thousand acres of rich soil under successful cultivation.
 Public Buildings Required
 To expedite Territorial business aud promote efficiency of adminis tration the need of an executive building in Juneau is very urgent. The Government owns square of ground intended as the site of such a building and the sum of $155,000 Is now available for such use. This amount is too small and should be increased in the sum of $300.O00, thus making a total appropriation of S455.000.

 Thompson was rigging circular

 wood for Wm. Cameron and employ
 ed pressure blow torch about the
 work. It seems that he attempted
 to light the torch in the ordinary
 way. namely filled the cup with gas- oline and waited for the generator
 to become hot. not being satisfied with the slow manner in which the flame burned. Thompson picked up partly filled can of gasoline and poured some into the blazing cup, with the result that the flames ran cured. With clothing mass of flames the victim ran into the har- ness shop. where John Eberle and Wm. Cameron came to his assista nce Frank Monroe and Gus Johnson also were in the harness shop. and Mon- roe picked up handy lap robe. threw it about Thompson and then hurried him into the street and roll ed him in the snow. In a few sec- onds the flames were extinguished and Thompson arose to his feet stat ing that The was alright" It was apparent to those present that he was not alrigft and Immediately im- pressed Jack McCahey into their services and hurried Thompson to the Maynard Columbus hospital Dr. | Welch at once responded to the call and hurried to the side of the strick- ] on man. Upon examination it was found that while no great amount | of the flames had been inhaled the body was terribly burned. The burned area extends over about | three fourths of the entire body !! with the left palm most severely l burned.
 Judging from the appearance of the can found in the room after the 1 explosion and the nature of the '

burns. Thompson had held the can close to his body while filling the torch cup. The bottom was buIged and long rip was found about the edge. Fortunately but a small quantity of gasoline was in the can at the time of explosion.
 Leo Kent saw the smoke issuing from the shop door and Immediately ran to the fire alarm box at the Lighterage Company's office and turned in the alarm. In few min- utes the fire department reached the scene and used the chemical with quick results. Wm. Cameron was in the shop when Thompson ran in all ablaze and at once picked up a Pyrene extinguisher and attacked the flames in the next building By the time the fire department arrived Cameron had so checked the flames that to completely extinguish them was the work of but few minutes.
 Mir. Eberle suffered slight burn on one wrist and Gus Johnson was quite severely burned about the hands and wrists in the attempt to extinguish the flames on Thompson's body
 At last reports Thompson condi-
