MEMBER ALASKA BUREAU SEATTLE SEWARD VISITOR SEATTLE ATTORNEY SAYS THAT ALASKA IS HOBBY WITH
 HIM-lS FIRST TRIP HAS ALASKA LIBRARY Makes Business Trip to Nakeen Can nery Bristol Bay-Enjoyed Trip
 He Declares, Very Much
HAS ALASKA LIBRARY

Reputed to be the first Seattle at torney to have visited the Bristol Bay district, Edward Weber Allen of the firm of Wright, Froude, Allen & Hilen returned to Seward last week after a business trip to the Nakeen cannery, owned by the A. & P. Products Corpo- ration of the Great Atlantic and Pa cific Tea Company, of New Jersey. Mr. Allen, accompanied Haakon Beyer Friele, general manager of the company, on. the trip of inspection.
 MT. Allen was particularly interest ed ill the trip, because for many years Alaska has been a hobby with him, and in his Seattle home he has one of the best private libraries on the Pacific coast. He has maintained the library for years just for his own en- joyment. Therefore" Mr. Allen ex- claimed, on the first possible excuse to visit this district which had never had the pleasure to make, grasped it and here I am.''
 MT. Allen is a member of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and is also on the Board of Control of the University of Wash ington, of which he is a graduate. He was formerly Assistant Attorney General of the State of Washington from 1914 to 1916.
 Referring to his trip to Bristol Bay MT. Allen said he visited many can neries in Southeastern Alaska but he has never before seen such modern and up-to-them minute cannery as this new one at Nakeen, erected of sheet steel in record time this spring. What particularly impressed him was the young personnel of the cannery crew, which with the exception of two or three men, were all around or about 30 years of age.
 The Seward Gateway representa- tive asked General Manager Friele for further information regarding Mir. AL len, and MT. Friele replied: Just tell them he is the best lawyer there is in the fishing game.''
 MT. Friele stated that he intends returning to Alaska next spring and would bring Mir. Allen along with him.

GOLD LEAF INDUSTRY IS
 UNCHANGED IN 20 CENTURIES

There are very few manufacturing businesses that are still carried out in exactly the same way as they were when Julius Caesar was winning his way to power at the head of his le- glons in Gaul, But there is one. It is the manufacture of gold leaf, of those unbelievably thin and fragile sheets of gold that painters use to make, the signs on glass windows.
 These sheets of gold tissue are so thin that as many as 100000 of them have to be piled on top of the other to make the thickness of one inch. They are still made by beating out the gold with hammers between layers of special kind of skin made from the guts of oxen. Gold leaf has never been made any other way. Doubtless the gold decorations on the shrines of Tutankhamen were beaten out in exactly the same way.

TRAP FOR TAKING OF
 BEAVER ALIVE IS SHOWN

JUNEAU-A model of a new trap for taking beaver alive has been re- ceived by E. F. Walker, of the U. S. biological survey. It was developed for field use by Vernon Bailey, chief field naturalist of the bureau from a design made by another bureau em- ploye, Mr. Walker said.
 The trap, he said, will probably be used in taking beaver to be planted in various barren areas in the Terri tory under the game and fur bearing animal stocking program adopted by the legislature last spring It is ex- pected the traps will be placed in the hands of reliable trappers for use, the game commission to contract for the animals taken.
 The trap in shape is similar to a large travelling bag. It is built of heavy wire netting on framework of steel or iron. Springs are made from coils of tempered steel wire. A trig- ger when touched by the animals re- leases the trap which encloses but does not harm them. Some modified tion in structure may be necessary before the trap is adapted to local field conditions. Experiments conducted in the States are said to have demon strated it's practicability.

SUMMERVILLE, s. O., July 9 (P)- Hundreds of old tea plants gathered from over the world at time when tea growing in the United States was profitable industry, have grown to the size of small trees and are being transplanted for landscape purposes.
 Before the Chinese tea growers dis covered that they could produce the leaf and market it in the United States at greater profit than the American growers, the cultivation of tea in this section was enormous and it was raised at a profit.

Economies.

The international debt situation has
been complicated again by the fall in
value of the French franc The franc Is
now worth about American cents
one quarter of its par value. That is,
1t takes francs to purchase in
America what could be obtained for
when the franc was rated at par. The
situation means that France must boil
ster up her own currency and initiate
reforms, taxation, and new economy
measures before she can begin to think
of tackling the big job of paying the
United States the $4,000 100000 she
owes.
Among the remedies proposed for
Frances troubled financial difficulties
are a loan of s100, 900, 900 for improve
ment Of French finances and another
sS5. 100000 for the devastated regions.
Both loans have been promised by
American bankers, according to Finance
Minister Clementel, but he declined to
discuss any details.
During the war we had to borrow the
most possible while paying off the least
possible. Now we must pay off the
most possible while borrowing the least
possible Thus did Premier Herriot of
France summarize his country's finan-
cial policy to the Chamber of Deputies
last week.
Addressing the National Tax Associa-
tons national inheritance and estate
tax conference, President Coolidge last
week recommended a. gradual with
drawal of the Federal Government from

greater economy in tax collections. The
President pointed to the fact that States
are competing with each other to OBJ
| tain. through inheritance taxes. the
property of their own citizens and The
citizens of other States. In addition,
there is the Federal inheritance tax.
The President showed how a share Of
stock upon the death OF its owner may
be made subject to seven separate and
distinct Inheritance taxes by the Fed
eral and the State governments.
Adding $71S,500 to the District ap-
preparation bill over what the House
