Hyder weekly miner., 1924-02-04

Efforts during the past two years to induce an Alaskan mining man to represent the Territory at the annual conven- 'tion of the Western and Amer ican Mining Congresses have proven futile and the result is that a Seattle man, Dean Mil ner Roberts, member of the faculty of the University of Washington, has been desig- hated by Governor Bone ..o represent the Alaska mining industry at the 1924 conven- tion of the Western Minin Congress early next spring. H. will also be asked to repre-. sent the Territory at the nex1 annual convention of the American Mining Congress.
 The inability to secure ar Alaskan miner to represent the Territory is mainly due to the fact that the conventions come at a time of the year whet. most of the operators are bus fest at taking advantage of the open season. Dean Roberts is head of the School of Mines at the University and is deeply in terested in Alaska mining. He also has large knowledge of both the industry and Alaskan conditions.
 MT. Edward 'Adolph Stark and Mrs. Eva Jensen were the principals in a quiet home we'd ding at the home of MT. and Mrs. William McGrew Satur- day evening. The marriage ceremony was performed by United States Commissioner Chas. F. Sandford and was witnessed only by close friends of the couple. MI: and Mrs. Mo Grew officiated respectively as bridesmaid and groom's- man. Following the nuptials q wedding supper was served.
 The happy couple have pun chased the Max Behrmann res idence on Premier Avenue op- posite the M. E. church.
 Both bride and groom are well known locally. Mrs. Starke has been a resident of Ketchikan for some time and also lived in Hyder in earlier days. The groom has been on the staff of the Riverside mine during the past two years.

In the field Of eliminating National
waste. the Secretary reviewed the
progress made in the unemployment
situation. Skillful handling Of the
problems of slump periods by COM
mittees OF experts has done great
good for general business conditions,
he reports.
Seasonal building periods, the re-
port sets out, have been so dealt with

preston. The departments division
Of simplified practice has brought
about a standardization and simpli-
f1cation in many industries with the
saving OF great sums of money both
to manufacturers and to purchasers.
Urge COAL Storage.
The department has encouraged the
purchase and storing of bituminous
coal during the Summer months, the
Secretary said. to the great good of
the industry, which was hampered by
it's own overdevelopment. The de-
partment has also encouraged devel-
opment Of water power resources of
the country as a measure in the elm
ination Of National waste. and the
work of the Northeastern super
power committee. of which MT. Hoov-
er is the chairman, was reviewed.
The departments work in COOP
Grating with other agencies for the
building of better homes and more
widespread home ownership was
also reviewed.
Mr.. Hoover declared that one of
the most important factors in elm
ination Of National waste was trade
association organization throughout
the country. He declared that while
some of the smaller of these associa-
tions have operated to restrain trade
and competition, trade associations
generally have proved very valuable
in the economic development of the
country.
These associations are hampered in
their work, however. he said, because
there is no clearly defined line. either
Of law or court decision. Of what ac-
tivities are and are not in the public
interest. Many organizations fear to
proceed with valuable work in the
fear that their efforts will be con-
strued to be against the public in
terest, the Secretary said.

The bottles of wine sold by the State

.strictly Kosher, for the most pious."
In confirmation of these labels, the bot

The Jewish Communist press has
taken exception to these labels because
it considers that selling wine under
religious labels is equal to religious
