This Voter, Who Is Also Taxpayer
and a Leading Business Man of the
Community, Reviews The Accom-
plishments of The Present Town
Council and Asks That They Be Re-
tanned In Office, The Duties of which
They Have Dischared Efficiently
To the Editor of The Republican.
Whatever might be the opinion of
a voter of any town as to the why of a
candidate for the position of town
councilman, there are few things
that must enter into consideration for
his or her vote to be cast in the best
interest of the town in which he or
she lives.
A councilman has but one duty, and
that is to conduct the business of the
town in an intelligent, efficient and &C.
onomical manner. In order to do this
there must be some qualifications and
some interest in the affairs of the
town within the individual council
man.
Nothing so speaks as to the re-
quirements of an individual as an OPP
portunity to demonstrate those re-
quirements. When a duty is well
done there is evidence that a person
has been found who has the qualifi-
cations necessary to do that duty.
A study of the financial statement
of the Mayor and Town Council Of
Oakland, found in this paper today,
will prove to any fair-minded citizen
that there has been some efficient
work done in regard to the handling
of the business of the town during the
past year.
The time has come when part of
the present council must retire or be
reelected. The voice of the citizens
will determine whether or not they
return to office. In fairness to them
and at least in confidence that the af-
fairs of the town will be in capable
hands for the next year the voice of
the voters should return them to
their present positions.

Alaska Knockers Should Get Gate
 Says Railroader

"All this bunk about dredgeS closing down and business slowing up at Fairbanks is all 'hooey', said Karl K. Katz, travelling, passenger agent of the Northern Pacific who left here Saturday night on the Alaska after one of his regular trips to the Interior. Where do they get that stuff," he declared haughtily. Cant I see and don't I know when people are happy? I didn't find any one downhearted at Fairbanks. These old dredges are just natur- ally changing the map of the CO., untry and it's a cinch they are getting the gold but for love nor money can you find out what their |cleanups are.
 Talk about knockers, Good Lord" and he held up his hands in despair. "If Alaska had to de- pend upon the flood tide of it's own boosters it would be floating back wards. You hear so many croak- CTS that you get a sort of a hoarse feeling in your throat yourself. Ever since I first came to Alaska I've wanted to to be classed as an Alaskan as a sort of distinction, but I sure don't want to be classed with that kind of an Alaskan" ,"
 Things are looking good all along the line, MT. Katz said be- fore he stepped aboard the s. S. Alaska Saturday night, and he met so many people with real money that he expects quite a heavy traf- fife on his North Coast Limited" when these Northerners go out to enjoy themselves.

BUREAU OF MINES
 0N HOW ANAL LCAMATE.

The frequency of cases of poor recovery of fine gold by the amal- gamation process has led the U. s. Bureau of Mines to publish an in- formation circular on the subject.
 Experience has shown that in many cases error has been made because the true gold content of a particular sample or deposit was not known, states Edmund s. Leav- CT in information circular 6O81.

SAN FRANCISCO
MAFEA CHIEFTAN
SHOT TO DEATH
by United Press Leased Wire

san FRANCISCO, Nov. u. -
Down in San Francisco's "Little
Italy,' Jerry Fcrri, malta leader,
died today. His body was filled with
bullets.
" Handsome Jerry; was known as
the lover of many women. He was
also a man who could enter a North
Beach cafe and demand Il "50-50'
split and get it.
Elaine Worth, once a beautiful
actress, one of those who were said
to have loved the handsome malta
chieftain, was sought by police for
questioning in connection with the
death.
AS investigators followed the var
ious threads in the colorful life of
the dead leader, it was learned:
Ferri, also known as Genncro
Fievc, was chief of the Dread
Malta, Sicilian blackhand organiz-
alton.
He was involved in kidnapping
charges.
He has been a resident of San
Francisco for about IS months fol
lowing flight from Chicago, when
that city "Sot too hot
He was connected with the North
Beach beer industry.
Handsome Jerry' was killed at
about 2:20 n. M. His apartment
showed he died in flight from his
unknown attackcr.
The malta chicftain was clad only
in his mdercIothos when the body
was found.
Near the outer door was his top
coat and hat, as though dropped
when n hasty exit was cut off. The
body was in the bathroom, where it
apparently had fallen as the final
fatal bullet had entered.
Empty shells were scattered
through the house.
Police were inclined to believe
that the blonde actress for whom
they sought had nothing directly to
do with the murdcr-for the enemies
of " Handsome Jcrrv' were legion.
They would include women he had
| forgotten; rivals in the "Shakc
down. game; men from whom he
had claimed tribute and scores of
other victims of his asserted black
mail, kidnapping and bootleg activi-
( tics.

and Co-plot Louis Norwcll De Bur
ger, were killed in the crash.
Rex Heath, a passenger sustained
a broken nose and arm and internal
injuries but was expected to rccoN-
or. To the United Press today Heath
gave giraffe account of the accl-
dent from his hospital cot.
81 had been flying the ship with
Mitchell in the pilot S cabin with
me- Heath said, "whcn Williams
came up and took over the ship say
ing he was going down.
"He had been back in the cabin
playing cards, begged him not TO

fog. Mitchell and | went back in
the cabin, turning the ship over to

g Well, Heath, I'll see you in

bank of mist. The force of the i'm
pact completely wrecked the plane.
1t hurled the men as far as 80 feet

CONDITION OF
BRITISH KING
MUCH BETTER
BY KEITH JONES
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Nov. 24.-King George
V. spent Il quiet night and his con-
dition seemed slightly improved to-
day.
Late reports from Buckingham
Palace, where the 63 year old mon
s~ch of the British Empire lies abed
with fever, cold and a congested
lung, said royal physicians were sat
isfied with the Kings condition.
Che attention of the far flung
peoples of the British Empire was
ccntercd on the gray historic build
ing where King George is i'll.
Uneasiness occasioncd by the
King illness stirred the empire 's
millions oceply and attention was
focused on the remote regions of
South Africa where Edward. Prince
of Wales and heir presumptive to
the British throne, is hunting big
game.
Although the government had con-
sidCrcd sending 4 special dispatch
to the Prince of Wales, notifying
him of his fathers illness, it was
later decided to send word by rcgu-
lar telegraphic channels.
Dispatches to the United Press at
Johannesburg, South Africa, said
the government was unable to state
whether information of his father =
illness had reached the Prince or
whether his plans would be changed.
There would be no difficulty in a
quick return journey for the Prince,
it was said, should the necessity
arise.

gresham Phil ID. Swing, Rep, Calit.,
co-author Of the Swing-Johnson
Boulder dam bill expressed today
at the White House complete salts
faction with the report of engineers,
appointed by congress to investi-
gate technical questions raised with
respect to the dam last session.
Swing called at the White House
to discuss the dam situation with
President Coolidge.
"Thc report answers all the prin-
cipal technical auctions raised dun
ing congressional discussion, - Swing
said, "and | am entirely satisfied
with it.
"Thc major question was whether
or not high dam was feasible, and
opponents had said the site was ur-
suitable for a high dam because of
structural difficulties and earth
quake possibilities. y
Swing was satisfied the report
proved high dam could safely and
permanently bc placed in the Bould'
cr canyon. He thought the report
in full would be available about
November so, and soon would be
printed as a public document.
a summary of the report was de
livercd to President Coolidge sew
cral days ago, and he has held i
since then as confidential. Swing

Although no action was taken it
