TWO TERMS OF
 COURT PUT OFF

Plans made by Judge E. Coke Hill for holding two terms of court in this Division in Janu- ary, 1929, have been aband- oned, according to telegraphic advices received from him by Federal court officials. It is not expected now that there will be any terms before February and that the first term this year will be held in Ketchikan.
 Judge Hill fixed January 2, 1929, for the opening day of a special term at Ketchikan and January 15, to open at Juneau.
 Apparently Judge Hill ex- poets early action by the Sen ate on the appointment of MT. Harding to be federal judge in this Division. Should favorable action be taken next month it would probably not be nec- essary for Judge Hill to return here unless it were required by reason of MT. Harding being disqualified from sitting in cases which originated in his tenure as United States Attor- ney.

NEW POWER PLANT
 IS NEARLY READY

With the installation of an automatic governor, which is scheduled to arrive from the south within a few days, the new hydro-electric plant of the International Electric Co.,, Incorporated, will be fully com pleted and ready to take over the task of supplying Hyder with light and power, accord ing to Ernest Blue, associate of E. R. Workman, head of the International Electric Co.,, Ltd, of Stewart, in the project that will provide Hyder with an in- dependent source of light and power.
 Tests of the 'juice" produc- ing capacities of the new plant during recent days are said by MT. Blue to have demonstrated that it will be able to supply not only the local demands but vii also provide a considerable surplus for use at other points.

S|LVERADO OUTLOOK
 ATTRACTS INTEREST

Despite the large number of mining operations in progress in various parts of the district, winter conditions have caused a general dearth of reports from all but one or two of the more accessible properties. As a result there is much specu- lation in mining circles regard ing a number of operations where important new develop ments were impending when the snow came.
 The chief center of interest is the noted Silverado proper ty, situated on the towering slopes of Mt. Rainey, directly across Portland Canal from Hyder, where the long tunnel driven by the Premier Com pany is now drawing close to the point where the remark able native silver bearing veins discovered late in 1926 are be- Heved to be located. The sur face exposures of the several veins, located as a result of re- cent recession of the glacial ice fringing the mountainous, yielded samples of free silver bearing ore of the most spec tacular type and value.
 The tunnel is expected to cut the main vein of the system, which averages around 4 feet wide at the surface, at 500 feet below the outcrops. In the event that the vein contains at such considerable depth values comparable to those found on the surface, the tun- nel will probably reveal an ore body of tremendous value.
 There is also much speculat- 10 nregarding the outcome of recent developmnt activities on tn Marmot Gold property at the head of Magee Pass in the Marmot section. At the time of the last reports, both tunnels were entering the mineralized area containing the promising gold bearing veins forming their objective.

RESIDENT
 WINS FORTUNE

Mrs. Jessie K. Jamieson, wid- ow of the late M. R. Jamieson, and former resident of the Hy- der district, will become the possessor of a fortune in Big Missouri Mining Go. shares as a result of the recent action of the State Supreme Court of Washington in affirming the decision of the lower courts in the action brought by her late husband against Patrick Daly for a division of 300, 1000 shares of Big Missouri received by Daily in connection with the bonding of the Big Missouri property by the Standard Mines Company, of Tacoma, in 1925.
 As will be recalled by Herald readers, MT. Jamieson claimed under partnership agreement one-third interest in the shares received by Daly. AL though strenuously opposed by MT. Daly,' the contentione of jamieson were fully sustained
 n the trial court in March, 1928. Daly later appealed the :ase to the Supreme Court, with the result above stated.
 As a result of the courts de- cision Mrs. Jamieson will re- ,eive approximately 85,000 shares of Big Missouri. As the stock is now quoted around $1 on the southern exchanges, the shares will represent an equiv alent sum in cash.
 The news of Mrs Jamieson's good fortune was received a few days ago by Attorney Ern- est Blue, her local representa- i've, and will be welcomed by her numerous local friends.

KENNECOTT MAKES
 NEW DIVIDEND
 PAYMENT RECORD

The Kennecott Copper Co.,, greatest of all Alaska's mineral producing organizations, has gained the unique distinction of being the first company to enlarge it's dividend payments twice in one year, according to Mining Truth.
 Kennecott's regular dividend is now more than 50 per cent higher than it was at the be- ginning of 1928, as result of an increase in the dividend rate from $5 to $6 a share three months ago through the declaration of a quarterly divi- dend of $1.5O a share.
 Although on an $8 dividend basis at preesnt, Kennecott is said to be distributing it's prof it's on a conservative scale, for it is we'll understood that cur rent earnings are at a rate much in excess of that figure. In addition to it's earnings from operations Kennecott re- ceives a substantial income from its ownership of 971s per cent of the stock of Utah Cop per Co.,, which pays dividends at the rate of $8 a share, in ad- dition to income from other copper companies.

TRAIL COMPANY
 CANCELS PENALTY

The Consolidated Mining and Smelling Company has can celled all zinc penalties on lead ores received at the Trail shelter, according to an- nouncements in the south.
 This penalty has amounted to from $1 to $2.50 per ton de- pending on the zinc content of the ore. and it's removal will mean a substantial saving to many lead ore shippers.
 The cancellation became eff fective December 26.

FA|RBANKSANS
 WOULD VOTE
 IN SEPTEMBER

Believing that convening of the Territorial legislature in March works a hardship on representatives from the Fourth and Second Divisions, the executive committee of the Fairbanks Commercial Club has adopted a resolution urg- ing that the legislature meet on the first Monday in Febru- ary, instead of the first Mon- day in March, as is done at present.
 Advancing the date a month would, the Commercial Club believes, give representatives from Divisions farthest away from Juneau time to return to their homes for spring busi- ness. It is pointed out that un- der presen conditions lawmak- CTS often times suffer consid- erable financial loss by not being able to attend to business n the best season of the year.
 To bring about a change, Section 6, of the Organic Act would have to be altered by Congress. Chambers of Com merce throughout the Territory will be asked by the local body to adopt resolutions looking to that end and Delegate Suther- land will probably be request ed to introduce a bill calling for an amendment to the Or ganic Act.
 Another change desired by Commercial Club is in the election date The change de- tired is from the first Tuesday after the first Monday in Nov ember to the first Tuesday aft CT the first Monday in Septem- Der. To bring this about Sect on 5 of the Organic Act would have to be amended.
 The reason for this recom- mediation, it is said, lies in the fact that in this division and most likely in others, fully 25 per cent of the voters have gone to the states in November and the vote is thus far under the figure it should be. It is es- timated that this cause de- creased the vote in the Fourth Division by more than 25 per cent. News-Miner.

PIONEERS HOME INMATES RECEIVE CASH
 CHRISTMAS GIFT

Each of the 1O3 inmates of Pioneers Home at Sitka was the recipient of a cash present of $21.35 on Christmas day, as a result of kindly efforts in raising a Christmas fund for the old pioneers made by W. D. Gross, proprietor of the Coliseum theatres of Juneau and Ketchikan, other theatric- al interests in Alaska, and the Alaska Weekly newspaper, of Seattle.
 The movement started by MT. Gross and the Seattle publicat- ion resulted in collections tot aling $2,176.5O, of which the Alaska Weekly raised $646.50. Jun eau citizens contributed $629.1O, and those of Ketchi- kan $549.25. Wrangell and Petersburg clipped in to the extent of $176.1O and $175.55 respectively.
 Additional donations totaling $95.85 were received too late to be included in this years gift to the old-timers and has been placed in trust, at inter- est, until next Christmas.
 MT. Gross, on Christmas Day, received a telegram from Theodore Kettleson, superin- tendent of the Pioneers Home, which said:
 "A Merry Christmas to you and all the donors to the Pio- neers' Christmas fund. The 1O3 pioneers were handed $21.35 each at the breakfast table this morning, together with various presents, lots of good turkey.
 'This afternoon the old boys are. looking twenty years younger. Many of the boys have asked me to extend their personal thanks and to thank you in the name of the 103 pio- neers of the Home"

Gentlemen Unafraid," by Barrett Willoughby, is the lat est addition to the list of liter ary productions with Alaska as their background. The book presents a collection of short tales of noted Alaskan charact- CTS and the achievements which won them fame. Includ- ed in the list of those whose experiences are set forth in the volume are A. A. (Scotty) Allan, famous dog musher; Alexander Malcolm (Sandy) Smith, most noted of Alaska trail blazers; George Watkins Evans, international authority on coal and the man who first gave national prominence to the Alaska coal fields; Capt. Syd. Harrington, champion swift water pilot of the North" and, among the greatest of those men of the North whose deeds are recorded in history, Dr. c. c. Georgeson, "the plant wizard of Alaska" whose ef- forts in the promotion of agri- culture in Alaska have won for him an imperishable fame and whose accomplishments in the development of new varieties of plant life will benefit count less generations of Alaskans yet unborn. Not least among the interesting narratives con- tained in the book is one deal ing with tn adventurous child hood of the authoress and her mother and father, Wild Mar tin," in their schooner, Tyee, along the reaches of Alaska's far flung coast line. This in our opinion is one of the best chap ters in the book. Although no more than a series of simple, truthful narratives of individu- al accomplishments, the book is brimful of romance and ad- venture and contains a wealth of interesting illustrations.
 Gentlemen Unafraid" is in- teresting from cover to cover and we recommend it to all who love adventurous deeds.
 The publishers are G. B. Put nam's Sons, New York, to whom the Herald is indebted for a copy of the first edition of Mrs. Willoughby's distinct fly pleasing work.

PATRIOTIC UNIT HITS
ATTACK ON YOUTHS
Mrs. ]. L. BueI Lays Stress
on Tampering With
Histories.

A vigorous attack against the mate
REALISTIC and radical influences which
are operating among the youth OF
America" was launched today by Mrs.
John Laidlaw Buel, national president
of the Society of Daughters of Founders
and Patriots of America, which Is hold
ing it's thirty-first general court at the
Washington Hotel.
Mrs. Buel laid particular stress on
combating the efforts of those who
"tamper with our school histories in
the interest of pacifism and false form
of internationalism."
"I propose to stress the defense OF
youth from radical onslaughts upon
their faith in spiritual yerities," she
asserted. "It is especially incumbent
on us to teach reverent regard for the
founders and patrols of this Nation at
this time when 'debunking' these heroes
is a popular pastime of so-called liberal
writers and lecturers Patriotism is
openly sneered at, love of country is
branded as bunk and our youth are
being taught that world citizenship is
the only aim to strive for"
Behaviorism, she said, leads directly
to the Russian idea of community care
for children.
A memorial service for the A men,
bers of the society who have died in
recent years, and particularly for Mrs.
Robert Hall Wiles. former national
president, who died three. weeks ago
were conducted this morning by Miss
Katherine M. Green, national chaplain
Mrs. George Maynard Minor, homo
rary president general of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, spoke
briefly. Reports of committees and
national officers were also heard at the
morning session It was voted to grant
charters to chapters being organized IN
Colorado and Rhode Island.
Mrs. Harold B. Howell, president OF
the Ohio Chapter. presented State
flag to the court, This afternoon elec-
tions of three councillors whose terms
expire this year were to be held.
Mrs. Alfred j. Brosseau, president
general of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, delivered an address
at the luncheon, attended by the major
ity of the 200 members.
just before luncheon the court went
in body to the White House and were
greeted by the President and Mrs
Hoover.

Mrs. Hoover Plans
Social Use of Rear
of Mansion Grounds

Mrs. Hoover is going to give
the home touch. which was so
apparent at the Hoover home on
S street, to the rear grounds of
the White House.
She has selected that section
just west of the real. portico,
which is completely shaded by
several mammoth magnolia trees,
as a place to receive friends dur
ing the day and to hold after
noon teas. Orders have been
given to place stone flags in the
ground to serve as a flooring. and
benches and chairs and tables
are to be arranged for the con-
venience of Mrs. Hoover and her
guests on these occasions.
1t is understood also that Mrs.
Hoover is to give considerable of
her personal time in the morn
ings to the creation of an old
fashioned flower garden in the
rear grounds. She has always
been fond of floral culture and
the yard of their s street home
was real beauty spot as a result
of her ability in horticulture and
floral culture.

NEW FARE RAISE
PLEA SEEN SOON
Capital Traction Statistical
Officer Visits Utilities
Commission.

Early renewal by the Capital Trac-
ton Co. of its application for higher
fare is anticipated at the Public Utilities
Commission asst result of visit today
by E. j. Heberle, assistant to President
John H. Hanna.
Heberle is the chief statistical of1cer
of the company and although he failed
to explain his mission to commission
attaches, he began checking the COM
missions valuation of the company as of
December 81, 1928. 1t was assumed at
the commission that he is preparing to
bring UP to date the elaborate set Of
exhibits supporting the company's petit
ton for higher fare, which were sub
nlitted at.the original hearing last year.
The board of directors of the COM
pany at its March meeting authorized
the executive board to renew the higher
fare application in its own discretion.
Subsequently, President Hanna. in e
notice to stockholders which accom-
panied the quarterly dividend, indicated
that a new move for increased fare
might be made in the near future.
While Heberle's inspection of the
official valuation figures of the COM
pany is regarded as significant, it is
not believed the executive board Of the
car company will file the application
for a fare raise until there is some in
dication from Congress whether the
transit merger agreement is to be rati-
fed at the special session. The agree
ment expires June /. and the traction
company is represented as not de-
sirous of jeopardizing ratification
through renewal of the higher fare
application.
The original application was dis
missed by the commission last october
without prejudice to the company to
venew it after March 5.

energy. Some of the policemen contend
that with a dog like that in the White
House grounds it would be a sorry spot
for prowler to visit.
But Tut is no ordinary dog. He is
of the Belgian police breed and has a
pedigree Of which any dog, even q
White House dog, might be justly
proud He was given to Mr.. and Mrs
Hoover when he was a pup.
Tut does many smart things besides
police work. He will take his masters
newspaper in his mouth and carry
articles from one to another when told
often when Mr.. Hoover would sit in
the rear grounds of his S street home
and read the newspapers, he would
commission Tut to sit on parts of the
newspaper to keep 1t from blowing
away and Tut would sit there until
told to move.
The dog is not especially enthusiastic
over the other CANNES that have been
ACQUIRED at the White House and he
has little to do with them. He has
made it plain to the others, however
that he is the head man. and no one
of the rest has seen At to dispute his
