CHICAGO WOMEN
AGAINST AL SMITH

A poll of women exclusively, in
several sections of Chicago and
within the loop, heavily favors Her.
bert G. Hoover for the presidency.
The remarks of women who made
comments show that Smiths advo-
cacy of return of legalized liquor
is his chief weakness among this SO
per cent of Chicagos electorate.
The results of the straw vote
among the women may be sum-
married. as follows:
Candidate Party Straws. PC.
Alfred E. Smith, Dem. lib 1870
Herbert c. Hoover, Rep 1901 5705
Norman M. Thomas, Soc II 064
Totals .............. 1881 9999
The purpose of this particular poll
was to ascertain the trend Of feeling
among the women rather than to
accurately measure their sentiment
for each candidate.
REVISION OF ESTIMATE
NEEDED
But if this limited poll happens to
be a correct view of typical women,
then the estimate of Smiths pres
ent total strength in Chicgago-a
plurality of 100000 theoretical votes

JACK HoWSoN
 AccIDENTLY SHOT

Mistaken for a bear which had made repeated depredat- ions on their food cache, Jack Howson, son of Harry Howson, we'll known mining man, was shot and painfully wounded in the leg by a companion while camped at Bowser Lake, 73 miles from Stewart, last week.
 News of the accident was brought to Stewart by Wm. Scott, one of the Howson party, who made the long journey into town in record breaking time to secure assist ance in bringing the injured man to town. Howson was shot in the fleshy part of the leg, and the wound, although in- capaciating, is not considered dangerous. A party composed of Homer Ficklin and several others left at once to bring him in, a decidedly difficult job at this time of the year.

PREMIER BORDER 7 INCORPORATES UNDER
 ALASKA LAWS

Articles of incorporation for the Premier Border Gold Min ing Co.,, Ltd, of Canada, weFe filed in the office of the Sec retary of Alaska on October s, according to an announcement in a recent issue of the Juneau Empire. The action now gives the company both American and Canadian regristry. As the company properties, which in clude the Virginia, Border and Cascade groups, are all locat- ed on the Alaska side of the International boundary line a short distance north of Hyder, the action will tend to greatly facilitate the company operat- ions. Hyder is designated in the papers as the principal of- flee of the Corporation.
 The company has an author ized issue of 2,500,000 shares of capital stock, of which 5O0,- 900 shares have been market ed for $20O,000, an average of 40 cents per share. s
 Ernest s. Parker, Winnipeg, is president and Wm. V. Tobias is secretary of the new co11- pany. Directors include Chas. Mckenzie and Francis J. Crossland, of Vancouver and Isaac D. Rusen, of Winnipeg.

Joe is now in the States, where he plans to raise capital for the develop ment of the optioned proper ties.

ALASKAN ME TAI
 PRODUCTION OUT-
 LOCK IS GOOD

Statistics of the mineral pro- duction of Alaska indicate that for 1928 it will be about the same as last year. For the first half of the year product ion was about $500,000 less than for the corresponding period of 1927, but the latter half of the year invariably shows a substantial increase in the gold output from the returns from the dredges, of which several more are oper- ating this year.
 Production of copper, which is the principal item in the metal output, declined in the first half of the year by $832,- 132. The decrease was partly offset by the increase in gold production, which was greater than for the corresponding period of last year by $296,- 735 and is likely to show an increase for the entire year of about 100000. This increase will result from the greater activity of Alaska Juneau and the new dredging operations of the Fairbanks Exploration company.
 Production of silver shows a decline. Lead is about the same. The returns of tin pro- duction are not available till near the end of the year as the production of this metal comes from the area south of Nome and shipments do not go out until the last shipping of the season.

HOBO TUNNEL
 CONTRACT FINISHED

The first unit of the projected crosscut tunnel on the Hobo group of the Crest Consolidat- ed Gold Mining Company, Ltd. was completed Wednesday ev- ening by the contractors AL bert Johnson, Pete Westman, Nels Helgerson, Herb. Ander- son and Pete Hestwick.
 The tunnel was drive nto a depth of 100 feet but failed to reach the ore zone which formed it's objective. This de- velopment, however. was not unexpected, as the true pitch of the vein had not been fully established at the time the contract was let. Present indi- cations are that the tunnel will have to be. extended ap- proximately 150 feet farther to strike the ore.

SEATTLE C. OF C.
 WILL URGE RYDER ~ FLOOD PROTECTION

Hyder's long. continued plea for governmental assistance in relieving the town from the danger of being wholly or partially wiped out by the flooding of Salmon River has found a new champion in the powerful and aggressive Se- attle Chamber of Commerce, according to a recent issue of "Seattle's Business" a service bulletin issued by the organi- zation to its members.
 This authority announces that the Chambers Board of Di- rectors voted at a meeting held October 9, to request of Con- gress specified Alaska harbor improvements, including, to quote from the bulletin, a dyke for the protection of Hyder from the encroachments of Salmon River"
 The decision to aid the local project was made on the rec ommendation of the Alaska Committee of the Chamber, concurred in by the National Affairs Committee, which also endorsed harbor improvement proposals at Ketchikan, Pet ersburg, Cordova and Anchor age, in addition to a wide range of other Alaska improve ments and benefits.
 This means that the great Se- attle business organization is preparing to exert it's influence in furthering the efforts of the local Chamber of Commerce and citizens to enlist govern ment attention and assistance, in removing the ever present flood danger threatening the town.
 Those who are aware of the numerous public benefits brought to Alaska through the efforts of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce will realize that it's endorsement of the local flood control project will bring to bear an influence far more powerful than any we may invoke. It has been shown on repeated occasions that when the Seattle organization gets behind an Alaskan project re- quiring government assistance results are not usually long de- layed. With such powerful backing, as this to assist in ov- grooming the inertia of Con- gress we may be assured of having a friend at court" who will leave no effort untried to bring about the much needed flood protection.

ALASKA JUNEAU
 DOING WELL

AAANSs W A@A@- Up to and including the re- suit of the July run of 316, 400 tons, the value of the Alaska Juneau output this year was nearly $2,OOO,OOO. Operating profit totaled $8O2,4OO for the seven months and surplus was $69O,9O0 over and above ac- crued charges, according to the Engineering and Mining Journ- al.
 In June 1927, the financial position of the property began to improve and the spread be- tween income from the yield and costs widened, reaching a maximum in February, 1928, since which time it has de- creased but still remains at the substantial figure of about 24 cents a ton.
 The changed status is the re- suit of skillful operations, con- trol of the dilution by select i've mining on a broad scale and a milling method that in-

in the Portland Canal district and give added distinction to the structures otherwise im- posing aspect.
 The interior display arrange ments are of the very latest pattern; marble-based floor cases of the all glass type and handsome English walnut wall cases with inset mirror panels, which provide a novel and pleasing establishment. The general ensemble of the big store is distinctly agreeable to the eye and provides a most effective background for the extensive stock of new drugs and saandIies.
 The big building is given a final touch of modernity thru the presence of a standard width concrete sidewalk ex- tending across the front and invoking memories of the eff fete Outside. 5c Construction of a business block of such type in this To- cality not only marks a vast advance in building construct ion but also provides an out standing examplification of the confidence of the owners in the future development and progress of the camp and dis trict.
 Structural work on the build ing was under the direction of Nick Belyin and Wm. Swenson, local contractors who have long been associated with the camp, and is a splendid testi- monial to their architectural abilities. MT. Belyin directed the carpentering work, and the cement and plaster work was done by MT. Swenson. Ev- cry item of structural material plumbing supplies, and fittings used are of the finest and most durable type, making the building one that will endure under ordinary conditions for a very long period.
 Hyder citizens are assuredly entitled to feel somewhat proud of the fact that theil town possesses a building structure which compares fav. horably with those usually
 found in centers of far larger size and population and which
 excels all but a very few o1 | the finer class of buildings SC far constructed in Alaska.

DISTRICTS FINEST
 BUILDING COMPLETED

Drug Go. building last Satur- day marked the completion of the camps most imposing and modern business structure.
 Built on the site of the original Hyder Drug Go. building, de- stroyed by the recent disas- trous fire, the new structure is two stories in height, covers a ground area 30 x 70 feet and represents the most advanced type of architecture so far att tempted in the Portland Canal district.
 The outer walls are of heavy stucco colored 8 pleasing shade of brown, with trimmings of light buff color, in harmonious contrast with the darker back ground. The interior is plaster ed in white throughout and is roomy and exceptionally we'll lighted by a series of large windows.
 The building rests on a solid concrete foundation and is roofed with a watertight sheet ing of galvanized iron, which, combined with the concrete wall covering, makes the structure almost impervious to fire from outside sources. AL though not the first stucco and plaster building erected in the district, one of similar type having been constructed in the piled district of Hyder several years ago, the new edifice is far more palatial and modern in every way than any other building in this section.
 ty.
 The structure is heated thru kout by means of 8 circulating hot water system, for which heat is provided by an elect rically controlled oil-burning furnace located in a fire-proof concrete basement. Control of the heating system is maintain ed by means of a switch locat- ed on an upper floor of the building and the heat is regu- lated automatically. Fuel for the furnace is stored in a huge iron tank located outside of the building and several feet un- derground, where it is entirely removed from danger of fire. A large water tank located on the roof provides ample water storage for the hot and cold water system with which the building is provided and is fill ed by means of an electrical pump in the basement. X
 The ground floor is occupied by the drug store and post of- flee, the former occupying an area of 30 by 40 feet, in ad- dition to containing a large room for drug storage and pre- scription filling purposes, a pri- vate office for postal use, and the stairway to the upper floor.
 The second story contains a spacious five room suite of liv- ing rooms including bath, all fitted with the most mod ern housekeeping conveniences and toilet facilities, in addition to six additional rooms on the . opposite side of the structure
 intended for rental as offices, The lighting arrangements on
 both floors are of the latest land most convenient type and
