During the past month tract Of gold bearing land extending from Rock Greek to the East oi Nome iapd as far West along the beach us Jess Creek, has been staked by num- erous parties and the cla'm' nave .nce become the property or the Allen Mining Company of Blum, where they have their initial invest ment and plant. IL has been learn ed that the company intends to work the beach sands along the coast in the same manner as they are doing at Blun.
 The company employees drag line bucket which operates on n line attached 10 a dolphin out at sea some distance from shore and Is brought in and dumped into q hop Der and run thru boxes. much the same as sluice boxes. the water for washing the gold from the sands has 10 be pumped from Il pond dug n short distance from the beach.
 It is said that this new mining outfit works with perfect ease and is very successful from a mining standpoint Many contrivances have been brought to Nome in the past 26 years in an effort to claim the fold from the beaches and sea. but most of them have failed in one way or another-manv times fail nres were due to the mining plants having been placed To close to the urf and when storm would arise 'long the Boring Sea coast line the machinery and plants were entirely wrecked and put oui of commission,
 We would like to see this new mining interprise be successful in mining gold from the sea bottom because il will mean the installa- ion of these new drag line bucket ohveyefs at many points along our "ast line, Which no doubt carries sufficient gold deposits 10 make it n
 "rfssfnl mining venture.
 Many persons are of the opinion nat no one can stake property tlong the coast line. but the pub.
 sher of the Nugget has ascertained
 ft the law was changed in 1900 .hich allows one to stake il claim rom mean-high-tide hack to the foothills if necessary It has beer round that q strip of land existed tlong the coast between other stalk I'd claims and the mean -hieh-tide some instances he strip does moi exceed 80 feet while at other point. Il extends distance of 400 feet.

United States 7.) the author con- siders the principle trouble spots" of the world. which in his opinion center in Russia. He considers the possibility of a close Russo German alliance; the extension of Soviet in fiuence to some of the Balkan. Tur- key, Persia. Afghanistan. or to the vast resources and population of China, and also, Mussiloni's imper- ialism.
 These unsettled conditions through out Europe and Asia. considered in the light of Russia's large and we'll equipped and disciplined military power. and her refusal to attend the conference of the preparatory commission in Geneva are of bad omen to reduction of armaments In Europe unless Russia can be occup- jed elsewhere so as to minimize any likelihood of her acting aggressively in Europe. This necessity of keep ng Russia occupied in another d. rection makes the probability of mother Russo-Japanese war. in the opinion of this critic. about an even chance within the next four years. The situation in the Orient. he noints out. closely parallels condi- lions of 1902. The price. however. instead of being Korea. is much more than all of Manchuria.
 ''In the event of such war;" MT. Gardiner says. "the paramount Bri- ish aim would be the maintenance of the British raj in India. Such war would injure the prosperity of China and threaten her integrity and would be a matter of particular concern to us, because 0ne-fourth Of our overseas trade. now amounting to more than eight billions is across the Pacific. and that part Of 1t that is with China has increased four fold in only the last ten years"
 "The fact that Continental Europe is occupied primarily with safe suarding it's own borders. and that Great Rritain's chief interest is in India and its communications, leaves he maintenance of peace in the Orient in large measure with the United States being 50 manifestly able to exercise the baiance of power determinatiyely in Eastern Asia that neither Russia or Japan will risk
 he issue of war" he says.
 In the proposed conference for
 he further reduction of armaments. Mir. Gardiner believes. the United states would do well to bs guided by political and naval realities, not only from the viewpoint of enlight- ened self-interest but also for the peace of ths world.
 Popular support of ths WashiAg- ton Conference was won largely by promise Of economy, but 1t is hasically indefensibie. in the authors opinion, to make tax reduction the paramount policy for the United States at the hazard of security and world peace.
 Martial expenditures. he shows. reduced to the common denominator of the purchasing power of the pre- sent day dollar. have increased from four dollars per capita in 1903 to six dollars in 1924. There Is much greater room for intelligent eccno- my iE other governmental expendi- lures. which have grown during the same period from twenty-four dol lars per capita to eighty-six dollars.

EXPECTS GREAT
buying SURGE

Now we are getting well along
into spring. In the next 30 days
I expect to see the gratest buying
period Of automobiles this city has
ever known"
This is the opinin of ID. c. o'Neil,
Hudson Essex dealer, who is backing
his belief by selling schedule for
the next 80 days which will sur
pass any previous mark ever made
in this country. O'Neil went on TO
explain his optimism for increased
business, as follows:
"The public has been waiting for
this spring weather. Winter certainly
held on this year just as long as
it could. There are thousands of
motorists fully intedning to buy cars
this spring who have been wait
ing for the weather to break. When
you add this big total Of delayed
business to the ordinary spring de-
mand for cars, you are simply bound
to have a big volume.
I'm the past week we have felt
the first buldge of this coming bust
ness. 1t has been coming along grad
ually, but growing a bit stronger
every day. Every day of good
weather is a powerful stimulus.
Bright spring days call for new
cars. With conditions so universally
prosperous, and with all classes Of
population sharing literally in it,
this demand for motor cars is only
natural. It will direct itself Iogi-
cally to those lines of. motor cars
which offer the best value for money
expended and which are advertised
and sold on the most modern and
progressive lines
we are now in an age of motor
car competition when every factor
counts. The Hudson Essex organiza-
tion has felt great wave of COM
mendation on it's at-your-door sys-
tenn of pricing and advertising au-
tomobiles. This is reform which
the public has sought for a long
time. 1t is without doubt step for
ward in frankness and better bust
ness methods.
1.-The public now can look at the
advertised price of Hudson or Essex
car, and know that is the actual
price at which the car can be bought,
with no string of incidentals and
extras attached. BY the way, L be-
lieve that this at-your-door innova-
ton is the only change in the
method of selling automobiles we
have seen for many years. But
others will come"

Chamber. of Commerce Has
Valencia Onion Seed In A
Shipment From Abroad

With the intention of encouraging
the raising of Valencia onions
throughout the valley again this sea
son, the Douglas Chamber of Com.
merce and Mines has obtained 100
pounds, Of Valencia onion seed from
Naples, Italy, which it will give to
reputable farmers In this section who
are DESTROYS of experimenting fur
Their in that field.
It is the general consensus of op-.
inion among those who raised the
onions in this section last year that
the fact that many of the onions
rotted was due to planning hem IN
the fall and carrying them through
out the winter during which time
they were given an opportunity to
become frost bitten.
One farmer in this vicinity who
planted his seed last year as late as
March found that the onions did not
decay. The soil is now in excellent
shape for planting, due to the recent
rains and the chamber hopes that
many of the Sulphur Springs valley
farmers will apply for some of the
seed which they may receive at the
chamber office. The seed will be
divided among several plantrs and no
one will be given too much of it.
The local chamber has recently re-
ceived road maps from the states Of
Missouri, Michigan, South Dakota,
Wisconsin and Illinois which any one
interested may see and in the next
few days a supply of maps from
New York, Ohio, southern Ontario
and Pennsylvania are expected.
