SMITH ATTACKS l
 HO0vER'S RECORD
 IN HELENA SPEECH
SMITH ASSAILS REPUBLICAN INTRIGUE AND CRIME FOR
 MANY YEARS PAST

HELENA, Mont, Sept, 25, (P)- With such blunt terms as Urea son, official corruption and crime, and intrigue" Gov. Al Smith as- sailed the Republican administra- tion since 1920 and declared the Republican Party cannot dodge responsibility for the oil lease frauds and other acts of wrong doing.
 The Nominee again sailed into Hoover stressing that his oppo- nent, during the last seven and one-half years was in the Cab inet and Smith asserted that no one in the United States knows better than he "the real" record of that period.
 You can search the record from one end to the other, Smith told the crowd and the Nation of radio listeners.
 You can examine it in the min utest detail and you will fail to find a single word of condemna- tissn on his part. On the caantrary in his speech of acceptance he said The record of seven and one-half years constituted a period of rare courage and leadership and con- structive action.' Does he want the American people to believe that record means moral courage or constructive leadership?
 T don't think so,' the Governor wound up with. After reviewing the oil lease disclosures the Gov ernor then brought up the liquid ation of the Republican National Committee campaign debt through the use of Liberty Bonds which he called proceeds of the oil deal.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION RREATHS A DISASTROUS
 BREATH THRU RANKS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25, (P)- Federal Prohibition enforcement Corps is going to be swept clean within one month when about three-fourths of the 2,000 enforce ment agents will lose their jobs as the result of the certification ex- aminations held by the Civil Ser vice Commission.
 The facts became known in off, cial circles although the Prohihi- tion Department has not made an as yet.
 Orly New York and the upstate districts have escaped the wedding out process. The changes call for the most sweeping reorganization of the Prohibition enforcement since it came into exist ence. The nation wide adjustments will leave only few of the old guards in their original positions.

SMITH VOICES POWER TALK N
 WEST TERRITORY
BOULDER DAM PROJECT UP FOR DISCUSSION AS GOVERNOR
 INVADES COLORADO

DENVER, Sept. 25, Ex-Governor
 Al Smith made the water power development major issue in his western campaign by announcing that his position would be wholly in support and in favor of the hy- Idro-electric resources. He accused Herbert Hoover, his opponent, of being in sympathy with private power interests. As sociates of Mir Hoover, Smith de- Iclared, were connected with a pow Ter lobby which. had sent it's propa- ganda into public schools and col Ileges and spread it in the halls of
 Congress.
 The appointment of Roy West, a former power company executive, las Secretary of the Interior, was a further demonstration of the atti- tude of the Republican Party on Ithe power question, the Governor stated.
 On the impending Boulder Dam Iproject, Governor Smith declared that if he is elected he will support ghe Governmental plan for the Iconstruction of power plants if en-
 gineers believe it practical.
 Hoover spent quiet day in Washington talking over the cam paign with President Coolidge and his various campaign managers. He said he is not running on an appo- sition basis but on the issues and las candidate of the Republican Party.

sF1ney say that the payStreak runs down the bench out of Mill Creek into Canyon Creek and follows down that creek till it debouches into the sea. After years of explora- tion they now believe the great secret of Canyon Creek has been solved, for no where in Alaska has there been 50 much gold scattered over a wide area while men sought to find where it has concentrated in paystreaks.
 To add to the extent of the dis trict they tell of the findings on Lynx Creek about seven miles across the summit where Jacobsen and Emmett on Six-Mile are in the pay.
 ''The days of hard luck are past, " said Bob, who came to Alaska in the '70's and is striving now as he has all the years despite his 81 years of age. T have optioned my property four times and in each in- stance I got the bunk thru promot- CTS who couldn't deliver the goods. Now I am backed by real home folks, friends of mine in the Dako- tas who are backing me despite the ] fact that they have had severe farming reverses for several years. They are looking North to better their condition and since I have struck the pay and have machinery and pipes in place, I expect to pay dividends on their hopes next summer"
 Michaelson has been building bridges and has pipe lines laid for his operations early next June when he will be able to take advan- tage of snow waters. There must still be some ditch work done for |continuous work thru the season. Tom Padgett, who has been work ing in the district this past summer also brings encouraging reports of things being accomplished ill the Moose Pass for bg hydraulic pro- duction next season.
 Fred Metz's ground adjoins MichaelSon where Mills Creek comes into the canyon. His deyel- opment work has shown the exist ance of the new pay streak and both of these oldtimers are jubi- lant that they are proving out their oft-proclaimed assertion that the gold must be Somewhere around there"
