The lectures given in Askov last
week from Sunday evening until
Thursday afternoon by Rev. C.. P.
Hejbjerg of Tyler-each afternoon
and evening-as briefly mentioned in
last weeks American, drew a good
attendance throughout and were very
instructive.
At the Sunday evening lecture Rev.
Hojbjerg dwelt principally on ques-
lions pertaining to the United States.
Quoting Judge Ben Lindsay he said
that out of 25 million family heads
in the United States only a little
more than 10 million have a yearly
income of $500 or more. The others
have less. Ten million people go to
bed hungry in this country every
night, which means one out of every

BACKING ORE ON
 THE BIG MISSOURI

Reports from the upper val ley during the week bring the interesting news that quanti- ties of high grade encountered in recent development oper- ations on the Big Missouri is being sacked in generous quantities. The ore is being taken from two places on the property, it is said.
 So far the management has made no announcement of an intention to ship and it appears that the ore is being merely stored for the present.

A homestead application made by T. w. Macdonald covering an exceptionally fine tract of land in the upper Tex as Creek valley has received the approval of the U. E. For est Service, according to ad- vices received a few days ago.
 The tract includes approxi- mately 20 acres of fine, level ground on what is known To- cally as the Texas Creek flats, a short distance below the shake cabin" The land is as level as meadow and a lux uriant growth of grass denotes soil of rich agricultural poss- ibilities. A portion of the land is also occupied by a fine lake. The site is splendid one fol homestead and is also pro- nounced an ideal location fol a tourist hotel, in the not dis tant time when Hyder's won- derful scenic beauties will be- come the Mecca of numerous visitors. All of which seems to indicate that T. w. is not lacking in foresight.

U. 5. COMMISSIONER
 TO QUIT OFFICE

Chas. F. Sandford, manager of this paper and U. s. Com missioner for Hyder precinct, has announced his contemplat- ed retirement from the latter position. MT. Sandford tend cred his resignation to District Judge Thomas M. Reed some days ago and expects to be succeeded at an early date.
 The difficulty of maintaining the duties of commissioner and recorder, in addition to con- ducting the Herald printing and publishing business, is as- cribed in his letter of resignat- ion as the main reason for MT. Sandford's desire to retire from the commissionership.
 Up to the time of writing no information had been received as to his probable successor.

MUCH INTEREST IN PEACE
 RIVER RAIL PROJECT

Wide interest is manifested in the south relative to the proposed Hyder-Stewart- rt-Peace River railroad project, accord ing to J. A. Hall, president of the Bank of Hyder, who re- turned last week from a visit in the States
 The possibility of Hyder be- coming the ultimate terminal of transcontinental railroad route, as we'll as Alaska's only direct rail connection with the States, is inducing consider able speculation among all who are interested in this sec tion, MT. Hall says. The opin- ion is also prevalent that the proposed road is very likely to become a reality within a relatively short time.
 This view is sustained to some extent by recent developments in Ottowa, disclosing that the Stewart route is now officially recognized as a logical outlet from Peace River to the Pa cific. Other evidences recent ly appearing also provide strong indications that the pro- ject is fast assuming a more concrete form.

PAT MCBRIDE KILLED
 IN SNOWSLIDE

Pat Mcbride, widely known miner, was struck by a snow slide while entering the new cross cut tunnel on the Exten. uate Group late Thursday night and passed away, ap- parently from suffocation, be. fore he could be extricated from the icy mass by fellow workmen.
 From the reports brought to town it appears that Mcbride and companion A. Abraham son, had come out of the tun- nel with a car of rock and Me Bride was returning into tun, nel, when the slide came crash ing down from above the DOT tai. Abrahamson had preced- ed him into the tunnel and Is said to hae been unaware of the fatality until his partner failed to return. On going out to investigate his lamp was blown out by the wind and, being unable to to locate his companion in the dark, he hastened to the camp for as sistance.
 It is said that no more than twenty minutes elapsed before McBride's body was located by the rescuers but life was ex- tinct. He apparently had made no attempt to release himself from the comparatively light covering of snow, with which his mouth is said to have been filled, indicating that he prob ably became unconscious i'm mediately after being struck by the slide.
 The deceased was an old tim CT of the district and possess ed the highest regard of all who knew him. He was aged about 53 years and is said to have surviving relatives on the outside.
 Funeral services will be held Thursday under the au- spices of the Pioneers of Alas ka, following an inquest in Stewart, which will be attend ed by the B. c. Mines Inspect or, who is scheduled to arrive Thursday morning. Interment will be made in the Hyder cemetery.

SUTHERLAND ASKS,
 SALARIES FOR U. s. COMMISSIONERS

Delegate Sutherland has in- troduced a bill in the lower house providing for the plac- ing of United States Commis- sioners in Alaska on flat sal ary basis, according to recent Washington press reports.
 The measure proposes to di- vide the various commission erships in the Territory into four classifications, in which offices of the first class would be allowed salary of $3OOO annually; those of the second class salary of $2, 800, of the third class $2,000, and of the fourth class 1,50O.
 The classfications contemplat- ed would be established on a basis fixed by the receipts of the offices.
 All Commissioners offices in Alaska are at present on fee basis, the incumbents de- irving their compensation from the fees received for perform ing the various services rem dered. The maximum compen- jation allowed Commissioners
 s 5000 DOT annum, although come are limited to lesser amounts. The Hyder office, as an example is limited to $2,00O per year, or a trifle over $166. Der month. In no case can the local Commissioner receive more than this amount for services rendered in his offic- ial capacity and has no assur- ance of receiving even the compensation indicated, as the fees received by the office may not approximate the amount allowed. In a majority of instances the earnings of the Commissioners in the 3maller and outlying places gre considerably below the es- ,ablished limit. In fact many Commissioners derive scarcely ] living wage from the fees re- :eived. AS a result the fee sys- ,em has proved rather unsatis- factory, owing to the small compensation being unattract- ve, especially to men possess
 ng the legal knowledge, or
 raining requisite to the prop 1T understanding and dis ;harge of the duties involved.
 The Sutherland measure, is aimed at correcting this situat- ion by assuring Commission CTS a fixed salary instead of l doubtful income and should nave the effect of securing a more competent class of men shan at present occupy a large portion of these offices.
 In the interest of good gov ernment and the proper func- tioning of judicial admins 5ration it is to be earnestly hoped that MT. Sutherland's measure is enacted into law.

CONSOLIDATED MINING
 AND SIMPLIFYING co. :. ENTERS LOCAL FIELD

The Consolidated Mining 6 Smelling Co.,, operator of the great Sullivan mine at Kim berly, B. C., the Trail shelter, and perhaps the most capable and successful mining company in Canada, has taken an op- tion on a controlling interest in the stock of the George Gold-Copper Mining Company, we'll known local mining con- cern, and will expend sub- Stantial sum in developing properties owned by that com pany, located in the upper Bear valley, according to reli- able information received dur ing the past week.
 The full terms of the deal have not been made public as yet. It appears, however, that the Consolidated M. & s. Go. has entered into a working agreement, whereby it will take over, develop and operate the George properties. AL though definite figures are unavailable, it is said that the big mining concern plans to spend a large sum on de- velopment during the coming season. Activities are schedul- ed ito commence as soon as conditions are favorable.
 The George Gold-Copper property is located near the head of Bear River and at an elevation ranging from 420O to 4500 feet. The. group com prises a total of "A claims and is readily accessible over most of the surface. Timber and water are available in ample quantities for all needs, includ- ing a waterfall 1 of sufficient capacity for power purposes. The property is crossed by sev- eral we'll defined veins on which considerable surface work has been done. The main veins, of which there are four, vary from 4 to 10 feet in width and are we'll mineralized, showing pyrite, phyrrhotite, hematite, arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite. The ore is said to carry workable values in gold, silver and copper. Although the values, as shown by assays of surface ores, are not high, there is sufficient quantity of accessible ores in sight to make the property attractive to a concern like the Consoli- dated M. & s. Go.

ALASKA BUREAU
 REORGANIZATION
 BILL IS SIGNED

Washington press dispatches announce that President Calvin Coolidge has signed the bill authorizing the Secretaries of the Interior, Agriculture and Commerce to appoint repre- sentatives, to reside in Alaska, and handle the Departmental business in the Territory.
 The bill is known as the Alas ka Departmental Reorganizat- ion measure.
 It passed the Senate during the first term of of the current session of Congress and by the House on February 2.
 The measure is designed pri- marily to enable a closer CO., ordination of governmental activities in Alaska.
 The new law authorizes the Secretaries of the Depart ments of the Interior, Agri- culture and Commerce to des- ignate an employee from each of their respective depart ments, who shall reside in Alaska and shall have charge of all matters coming under the jurisdiction of their sev- eral departments. These rep resentatives will bear the title of ex officio Commissioner for Alaska and will have direct supervision and control of all employees of their various de- partments iR the Territory. The measure also provides fol the transfer to Alaska of such records, field and office equip n1ent of the several depart ments, and also unexpende0 balances of appropriations, which may be necessary tc furtherence of departmental activities. Under it's provisions the President, with the con currence of the secretaries ot the respective departments, may by order place under the supervision and direction o1 of one of the three resident commissioners any govern mental activity relating tc Alaska now under the direct ion of any of the three de. partments, except that control of matters relating to the con, struction and maintenance O. roads in Alaska now under the jurisdiction of any other gov ernmental department or bur, eau, may be assigned anC transferred to the Board ot Road Commissioners for Alas, ka, together with necessary records, equipment and uneX pended balances of appropri- ations.
 The enactment also author izes the Secretary of the In terior to make an examination of the feasibility and proprietA of consolidating into a single force the police and law enz forcement agencies of the fed ral government in Alaska and present his findings to Con- gress with an estimate and comparison of the probable cost, compared to present ex, penditures for law enforce ment.
 The latter provision is in line with the recent recommendat- ion of Governor Parks for the inauguration of a law enforce ment organization similar to the Royal Northwest Mounted Police of Canada and is poss-
