Water Digs for Gold.

THERE are many forms of gold
mining, but probably the easiest
is that known as ''hydraulickinG.
which is nothing more nor less than
sending against the gold bearing rock
or soil a jet of water of enormous
power, which disintegrates the hard
est earth, or even stone, and converts
it into mud wherefrom the precious
particles can be easily reclaimed.
There is special apparatus used
for this purpose. The current of
water or jet may be supplied from a
reservoir or a mountain torrent of
great force, but in many cases a full
powered steam fire engine of a special
type, such as can be carried on poles
over trails where wheels would be
impossible. is the source of power

1t was five years since William

master. He was little ove- sixty, but
he was white-haired and thin-an old

strong and upright as ever. William
Page was his body servant now as
well as the head of his household,
and performed tasks for him which
he would not have thought OF per
forming for anybody five years be-

as much personal service as any

dressing for the evening in a great
room with an elaborate empire bed,
soft carpet, silken curtains and a
dressing table crowded with silver

preparing to kneel down and tie his
shoe laces.
As he did so he tried TO summon up
courage to refuse any longer to con-

of wrath that would follow.

HARVEY ALFRED RETURNS

Harvey Alfred returned last weel
from his new prairie home thirty
i've miles from Edmonton, In tn,
Province of Alberta, where he hal
been for several years. His family
are still there, but he is arranging
to bring them back to Idaho In the
spring and will go into the coal bust
ness in Boise.
When Mr.. Alfred left Idaho fol
Alberta he had arranged for ten
families to follow, after he made Sc
lection of location for them, but
the depression came on and they
were unable to go, so the plan was
not carried to maturity.
Mr.. Alfred drove over the Pro-
vinces OF Alberta and Saskatchewan
and studied the resources thoroly be-
fore settling. They all liked the
country, but they we're lonely. They
had for neighbors people of many
nationalities, including many Greeks
and Lithuanians, all good kindly
people, but not so agreeable to mix
with in school and church matters
and socially. Mr.. Alfred said they
were good and respectful, and chose
him to represent them In many mat
tiers, even sending him on a mission
for them to the provincial parlia-
ment, but he could not live on
honors and respectful treatment nor
educate his children to suit him,
where there was such medley OF
races.
He says that business is very dull
there, but he does not think there
are so many people losing their
homes as here. He says the
Canadians are very bitter over the
outcome OF the war and the adjust
ment of the war debts. 1t falls with
crushing weight upon Canada, and
the young men say that the United
States stayed out and came into the
war when victory was in sight, took
the honor and the glory and the
money of the world and quit rich
and comfortable and now has them
bound in financial slavery for gen.
erations to come. Mr.. Alfred says
it is aside from the question to re-
mind them that Germany was win
ming the war and gradually and GER
tainly sealing their fate when the
United States came into it. That
was concealed from them in a large
they were being told to
stand firm and win the war, and
then the rest was visible to them and
now the tax notices are very visible.
Mr.. Alfred says the time he spent
In Canada was clinching lesson on
tariff to him. The tariff wall we
erected to keep out Canadian wheat
and beef was such joke it pleases
the Kanucks and they laugh at our
stupidity. He said he called at the
office of our former townsman, w.
D. Trego on his way down, intending
to tell him he ought to talk some
tariff sense to that broher of his In

BREAD TRUSTS

Declares That Retailers of laro,
Cities are In GRASP of Wholesale
Bakers and are Holding
up Prices

Washington-A colossal "brea
trust" is robbing American homes Q
100000 day, Basil Manly, hea
of the Peoples legislative service
declared Thursday in a report to Sen
ator LaFollette and other progress
sives, demanding congressional &C
ton against the combine"
Bread should be selling at 5 cent
for pound loaf, instead of for
cents, Manly said, basing his state
ment on the present price of wheat
Manly's report was based on al
investigation made at the request o.
progressive congressman who desir
ed to know why bread prices remain
ed virtually at the war level while
wheat went back below prewar pri
les.
Bread made from American flour
today is being sold in England at 4
cents pound. Manly reported. He
charged millers, bakers and retailers
are making enormous profits or
flour and bread.
Manly cited the General Baking
company, which he declared in 1922
made lit per cent on each share of
stock, before the declaration of two
stock dividends of 100 and 300 per
cent in the same year. Profits for
1928 were even greater, he asserted.
AS result of these alleged profits
and stock dividends, one dollar in
vested in General Baking compan!
common stock in 1916 is now worth
5000, Manly said.
Bread prices in American cities
were declared by Manly to be Gar
bitrary and artificial" and violating
all economic laws. Bread costs 2
cents less a pound in New Orleans
and Houston than in Chicago, Oma-
ha, Butte and St. Paul, all in the
heart of the wheat belt, he said.
Boston, Bridgeport, New Haven
and other New England cities pay
less for bread than any city in the
grain belt, except Kansas City.
These artificial and excessive pri-
ces' are fixed and maintained by re-
tailers supported by the large whole
sale bakers, either voluntarily or I'M
der threat Of boycott, the report
charged.

COAL LANDS OF
ALASKA OFFERED
DENNY AND FALL OFFERED LAND
OF NORTH ON SAME TERMS
AS TEA POT DOME
Naval Secretary and Secretary Of In
terior Accused Of Scheme to
Transfer Rich Reserves Of
Coal Territory

Washington Former Secretar,
Fall and Secretary DENLY were de
clared in a letter laid before Presi
dent Coolidge Friday by John E. Bal
laine, an Alaskan railroad construc
tor, to have entered into negotia
tons in July, 1921, for transfer ane
lease of the rich Mantanuska Goa
reserves of Alaska, along the same
lines as were later followed in the
Teapot Dome oil lease.
The Alaskan coal lease was no,
executed, but the letter said the navy
department, largely through the eff
forts of Rear Admiral J. K Robson,
had assiduously refused ever since
to permit the use of Alaskan coal by
the navy.
Mr.. Ballaine, who contrusted the
Alaskan Central railroad, the fore
runner of the present government
line, presented his letter to the pres
ident as a supplement to previous
charges that powerful interests are at
work to hinder the development of
Alaska. He also has presented
charges to several senators, includ-
ing Chairman Lenroot of the senate
oil Investigating committee.
"The official files show that Sec.
rotary Fall of the interior and Sec
rotary DENLY began negotiations
early as July 1921, for the transfer
of the naval coal reserves in the Mat
anuska field from the navy to the
interior department and for the leas-
ing Of that reserve for = period Of
fifty years." the letter said. "The ne
gotiations and the terms agreed up
on between the two secretaries in this
coal reserve ran along lines exactly
parallel with the negotiations and the
terms Of the least Of the Teapot
Dome Reserves.
mo lease Of the Matanuska coal
reserves was executed. But the net
result was that naval mining opera
tions in the Matanuska were trans
ferred by Secretary DENLY to the in
terror department, and abruptly clos
ed in May, 1922, at time when the
navy, as official reports show, had
mine developed ready to produce $50
tons q day, with 100000 tons Of coal
blocked out in that mine, and with
2,500, 900 tons Of the same quality in
sight by diamond drilling in the Coal
Greek District.
During the negotiations over the
Matanuska coal reserves, and for
two years continuously up to the
present, misleading announcements
contrary to the established official
facts about the quality of the Mat
anuska coal have been given wide
publicity by the bureau of engineers
Of the navy, of which Admiral Robi-
son is head, and by the bureau of
mines of the interior, of which DR..
Balm is the head"
