COMMONWEALTH co. PLANS DEVELOPMENT
 ON CASCADE RIVER

Prospects of extensive devel- opment on Cascade River, l4 miles below Hyder, are con- tained in reports from the south that the Commonwealth Mining and Exploring Com pany, with extensive holding1 in that area, is preparing to undertake large scale develop ment work during the sum- mer.
 The company, which was or. ganized several years ago, holds title to more than a SCOT. of claims in that locality, some of which carry extensive surface showings, according u reliable witnesses, while prac. ically all appear to be wen mineralized. The company al- so owns several mill and pow CT sites in the same locality, in addition to a warehouse and other buildings. Although considerable surface work has ben done on the property dur ig the past two years, very little underground work was attempted until last year, the owners preferring to thor oughly determine the extent o1 the various ore zones on the surface before underta king costlier development work. A small cross cut tunnel was run on one of the more prominent showings last summer and. will be extended to cut the ore body this year if present plans mature. Emil Davis, who is in- terested in the company, is on the ground preparing fol operations and it is under stood that one other man b also employed.

PEACE RIVER R. R. NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE

That the Peace River rail- road proposal is making prog ress despite the failure of the C.P. and c. N. R. heads to al- rive at solution of the prob lem of a rail outlet for that important section, is indicated by the following press dis patch reprinted from the May 18th issue of the Vancouve, Sun:
 Premier Greenfield of Ai- berta confirmed the report that he had received a prop. osition from Sir Henry Thorn ton regarding the leasing by the Canadian National of the Edmonton, Dunvegan and B. c. Railway.
 T have such a proposition from Sir Henry" he said, "and within a few hours eA pect to have one from MT. Beatty, president of the Can adian Pacific, but there Is nothing I can say as yet be, cause nothing is definite. :" MT. Greenfield added, howevel, that the proposal of Sir Henr, Thornton in connection with the building of an outlet ro the Pacific contemplated - land grant.
 He said no decision as to the disposition of the road would be reached until the different propositions are fully consid- cred. Members here interested in the Peace River develop ment consider the {Edmonton, Dunvegan and B. c. line to be the key to the situation ana see no probability of a move in other directions until it's disposition is settled.

Edgar Provinse and Deputy Marshal T. w. Mcdonald are preparing to help fill up the unsightly hole along the north side of International Way op- posite the Lawrence proper ties. A large bulkhead has been built and will be filled with earth later, thereby add ing to the width of the road at wisdom of filling the unsight- ly holes along other sections of the thoroughfare.
 The improvement is a most commendable one and it is to be hoped that other property owners will be able to see the unsightly holes along other sections of the thoroughfare.

Displaying an exceptionally good brand of baseball, the Stewart base ball team turned the tables on the Hyder ag- gregation on the local grounds Sunday afternoon and won handily by a score of 4 to nothing. The victory, com bined with the winning of a second game by Stewart during the Victoria Day cele- bration at Stewart Monday, placed the Stewartites on an even footing with the locals, each team having two games to it's credit.

Local friends of J. A. Kline, former general Alaska agent for the Pacific Steamship Company, will learn with re- gret that he is believed by Se- attle police officials to have committed suicide last week. According to Seattle news paper reports. MT. Kline dis appeared suddenly after talk ing a revolver and telling d friend of financial difficulties and expressing an intention to lend it all." Three days be- fore his disappearance he rendered his resignation to the Pacific Steamship Company, by whom he had been employ ed for the past eight or nine years. MT. Kline spent a week or so in Hyder shortly before the inauguration of the pres ent Seattle-Hyder service of the Pacific Steamship Com pany and is known to practic- ally every business man in town.

In response to an invitation extended by the Hyder Cham Der of Commerce, business men of Ketchikan are plan- ming an excursion to HydeI during the coming summer, according to a statement ro the Herald by w. K. Spauld- ing, of the Salmon River Dock Company, during his recent visit in Hyder.
 MT. Spaulding stated that the contemplated visit will prob ably occur during the early part of July. No definite idea of the number participating can be had at this time, he said, but there are many Kel- chikan people who are keen ly interested in Hyder and are anxious to visit the camp, hence there will probably be a good sized crowd. MT. Spaulding will be among the visitors when they come, and will probably act in the capac- ity of official guide for the party.

BUDDINGTON REPORTS
 ON RYDER DISTRICT

The long desired government report on the geology and minerology of the Hyder mining district has been is- sued by the U. s. Geological Survey ill the form of a bulle- tin embracing Investigations made last year by A. F. Bud- dington. Copies received on the last mail disclose that MT. Buddington has covered the geological characteristics of the district in comprehensive manner, devoting one chapter to the mineral types found in this locality on both sides of the boundary line, another to the geology and a third to the topography. In addition he also devotes consider able portion of the work to detailed description of the Texas Creek area and a geo. logic sketch map of the dis trict. The remainder of the work is given over to de- scriptions of the better known mining properties. of the Sal mon River and Texas Greek basins
 Although far from being IS complete as might be desired, the bulletin is nevertheless of extreme value" as a text book on the geology 9and minerol- ogy of this region.
 As the work is the most com- plete description of the vari- ous features of the district that has appeared from any source and also because of the fact that it provides an in- timate view of practically all the more prominent local properties, the Herald will commence next week the pub lication of the report in serial form, excepting only such parts as are embraced in charts or technical tabulations. These are few, however, and their omission will not affect the general materiality of the report.
 Watch for the first install ment next week. .

STERLING co EXPLORING
 FRASER GROUP LODE


 Thomas Campbell, president and general manager of the Sterling Silver Lead Mining Go, Ltd, arrived from the
 active direction of develop ment work on the company 5 properties in the Marmot Riv- CT section.
 According to MT. Campbell, no definite program of sum. mer activities has been decid- ed upon as yet. Work for the present will be devoted large ly to the Fraser group, where crew of men, in charge of Gus Hedlund, is engaged at present in extending an ola crosscut tunnel. This work will be continued until the hanging wall of a large and we'll mineralized ore zone trated is reached. Drifts will also be run from an old shaft on the same ore body to de- termine the extent of a vein of high grade ore lying alons the foot wall which gives ev- cry indication of widening out considerably with depth.
 The tunnel, is in at present 290 feet and is expected to reach the hanging wall at an ime. The ore body through which the crosscut is now le~ ing extended is unusually wide md carries a good grade of milling ore.
 MT. Campbell says the af- fairs of the company are in eA- cellent posture. Financing a.- tivities following the incorpo1- ation of the company during he past winter were success fully concluded and the finaI cial status is satisfactory in every way. Among the morc important developments in the company affairs during the winter were the conclusion of arrangements which insure retention of the two Fraser groups among it's permanent holdings. The properties in question are considered by To- cal miners to be the most promising of the large number of groups and claims bonded by MT. Campbell last fall,, hence their permanent acqul- siticn is an important factor in the company affairs

 assistance from the mine op- orators and citizens, the Riv- erview Cemetery Association expects to have the cemetery in first class shape by the time the sun goes down on Memorial Day, Saturday nex@. 1 The committees in charge of the associations activities have interviewed the various mine operators with a view to enlisting their support and assistance in the move ment to improve the burial ground and have received as- surances that they will lend their aid, financial or other wise. As practically every able bodied citizen will be on hand to share in the work, the outlook is exceedingly favorable for accomplishing practically all that remains to be done toward making the cemetery a credit to the con- munity.
 The program for Memorial Day has not been fully laid out as yet and final arrange ments will be made at meet ing of the association at Pion- ger Hall Thursday evening and which all citizens who desire to take part are re- Quested to attend. Portions of the days program already decided upon include big "mulligan" feed at noon, fol- lowed by a short memorial service. Lon Doggett, who is said to be the greatest "mulli- gan" chef this side of the North Pole and whose con- coctions possess a savor that is declared to be incompar- able, has volunteered to take charge of the cooking prep arations,, while the ladies of Hyder will provide cakes and other dainties to round out the feast.
 The Boy Scouts have also been delegated to provide flowers for decorating the graves.
 The work of fixing up the cemetery will start as soon asa sufficient number arrive on the ground and the com mittee asks that everyor. turn out bright a1d early The cemetery association held its annual election Tuesday evening and the following were chosen to direct its activ- ities during the coming year:
 H. H. Howard, president; c. T. Hatten, secretary; E. D. Haddon, treasurer; trustees J. A. Hall, Merl F. Thomas and J. D. Lyons.
 Title to the cemetery tract has been received by the as- sociation from the Forest Service and will be retained by the body in its own name until such time as Hyder is incorporated, when, in accord ance with the directions of the Forest Service, it will be turn. ed over to the city.

A. That is a large question that

great qualities that go to make an

people, of course, who have the idea
that we can reform the world by
adopting a platform or putting a set
OF noble principles into public utter
ance-people who think that the whole
thing has been done when IL has been
said. But there is no way in this ex-
cept the personal way.
There must be a thorough going

that we give Him e partial control

Baron Shidehara, VINO on various

ventfonaI foreign office course, issued
a. statement at Toxic apparently un-
connected with matters under diplo-
matte or local discussion, but simply
a triennial commemorative tribute to
the signal achievement" and benefit
since derived from the Washington
Conference. With characteristic cour-
age, Baron Shidehara ignores the
hypercritical carpings of the elem ent
Of the press which consistently in
sists that Japans delegates at the
conference yielded at the behest of

without ornamental phraseology that;
"The conference was highly bene-

competition in capital ships and re-
moved suspicious as to the inten-
tions of Japan's sincerity of the most
cautious critic, while in the Pacific
the cloud of unrest, which at one time
had gathered, has given way to an
atmosphere of peace, friendship and

The statement concludes: THE

The second symptom came in the

The determination of the men in

of that unhealthful, immoral devisive-

q. What do you consider the most
important proof of our moral let
down?
A. Our hatred. Consider these two
things. During the war we were
united. America thought and sacri-
feed as one, and there was little, II
any, difference between the immi-
grant and the native American.
For 81 years Americans had known
no war save the Roosevelt Dewey ex-
citement in 1898. Therefore, the ma
tive American entered the war with
a little more zest and sportsmanship
because he did not know what war
was, while many of the immigrants
had had within recent decades the
sickening surfeit of that horror of
horrors which they knew as war No
one who knows war can enter into it
as an adventure that calls for sports

be less passionately for war tomor-
row than the nice, benevolent, quiet

So during the war America achieved
miraculous unity. Not unity of ha-
tired or unity of vindictativeness. but
unity OF common purpose. But the
moment the war ended that unity
vanished. And the war ended before

THE NEWEST
ANCIENT MAN
BY VERNON KELLOGG,
Director National Research Council

Prof. Raymond A. Dart of Wit
watersrand University, at Johannes
burg, South Africa, has recently dis
covered the relics of a skull imbedded
In limestone in an old cavern in
Bechuanaland which is greatly excit-
ing the anthropologists, already much
stirred up about ancient man in
Africa by the 1921 find of the primi-
tive Rhodesian skull. 1t seems to
be another missing link. 1t is the
skull of child about years old
which shows an extraordinary com
bination of human and anthropoid
ape features. Its brain was slightly
larger than that of chimpanzee.
1t may have lived at time preceding
the present Cor pleistocene) geologi-
cal period. II so, this new kind of
man-ape, or ape-man, may be a mil
lion years old.
The chief outdoor sport of an
thropologists is the hunting of
ancient man; not historically ancient
or archeologically ancient, but geo
logically ancient-that is, ancient by
hundreds of thousands of years Ever
since the middle of the last century,
when the famous Gibraltar and Dus-
seldorf Neanderthal skulls were
found, the anthropologists have been
bringing to light their, interesting
booty. Their finds of ancient human
, and near-human skulls and skeletons
in Europe and England and Java, and
moretrecently in Africa, have run into
hundreds, and of specimens of the
handiwork of ancient man into hum
dreds of thousands.
Especially since 1900 have these
finds come thick and fast, as certain
as any scientific fact can be, that the
ancestors of present man were diff
ferent in biological kind from man
to day. They were different in struc-
ture, and hence in physiology and
psychology, and they plainly reveal
in their differences a series of stages
from geologically oldest and bioloef-
cally most brutelike to most recent
and most human.
Human paleontology is no less real
than the long-accepted paleontology
of plants and animals. It's bases are
the same kind of actually existing
concrete fossils and relics found inn
bedded in rocks of different geological
ages as serve the plant and animal
paleontologists and which reveal the
formNr existence and successive pass
ing OF life forms now extinct These
ancient relics reveal the modifica
tions and gradations through hun
dreds of thousands of years of sue
cessive kinds of manlike beings
That is. they reveal, by unescapable
positive testimony, a definite evoIu-
tion from Freeman to near-man to

! tion not oontinusf What may we

tribunal. Among other things it
said:
IF the majority of the committee
deliberately desires to defeat the
recommendations Of Presidents
Harding and Coolidge and Secretary
Hughes, they could not have found
more effective means Of doing so than
by reporting favorably the Pepper
plan. This Will precipitate long
discussion and delay"
Further Postponment Seen.
The Senate in the Sixty-eighth Con-
gress, just closed. did not act on the
reports mentioned above. nor in any
way respond to the recommendation
of the Executive, which had the en-
dorsement of the Republican platform
Only last Thursday, the day after
the SiXty-eighth Congress closed,
| Senators Swanson and Willis intro.
duced resolutions for the acceptance
of the recomme n dations made by the
Executive. The Senate, of course, can
act definitely one way or the other
at its present session, but the prob
ability is that 1t will further post
pone final consideration of the matter.
Entirely aside from what might be
said on the merits of the question,
there can be no doubt that public
sentiment is in favor of the United
States joining the court. This was
| shown emphatically during debate in
the House on March and the hear
| ings before the House committee on
foreign affairs from January 81 to 81,
at which nationally known leaders of
public thought were heard.
House shows Opinion
The first suggestion that the House
is entitled to and should expr ess it's
opinion on the matter was contained
in the House resolution introduced
by Representative r. Walton Moore
| of Virginia on April II, 1924, and re-
ferred to the committee on foreign
affairs, of which he is a member.
Subsequently, on January %, 1925,
Representative ]. Hamilton Fish of
New York introduced a concurrent
| resolution OF the same character The
committee. after hearings. determined
to favorably report a House resolu-
| tion.
This was framed by Representative
Theodore E. Burton of Ohio and diff
| fered not in substance from the orig
| inal Moore resolution. 1t was ac-
companied by a lengthy and very in
teresting report, of which he was
| author. The report not only discusses
citation of precedents that fire.
Quently during the early years of
Government, and quite often in later
periods, the House has exercised what
1t claims as its constitutional right
to express its views on questions of
public interest and Importance with
which 1t has no legislative connec-
tion, but which may rest with the
Executive alone, or with the Exec
utive and the Senate.
1t will be noted that the resolution
which was reported and adopted by
the House not only approves ad-
herence to the protocol, but promises
in the event of adherence the House
will perform a duty which belongs
to 1t in connection with the Senate, of
participating IN the enactment of such
legislation as will be necessary in
case the Senate approves the Exec
utive recommendation.
