KELLOGG PACT in
FORCE BY HOOVER
TwO-thirds of Countries of
World Are Pledged to
Outlaw War
THANKS FRANK KELLOGG
Former President Coolidge
and World Diplomats
Witness Ceremony

Washington, July 24.--President
Hoover today proclaimed effective
the Kellogg treaty for the renun-
citation of war and congratulated
"the entire world" upon this addi-
tional instrument of humane en-
deavor" for the sake of peace.
Ceremonies of imposing simplic-
ity attended the PRONUNCIATION of
the pact. Gathered in the historic
East room of the White House
were former President Calvin
Coolidge, former Secretary of
State Frank B. Kellogg, and the
diplomatic representatives of all
but two of the nations that have
become parties to the treaty.
An hour before the ceremonies,
the treaty, by it's own terms, had
actually become effective with the
deposit by Japan at the state de-
partment of it's formal instrument
of adherence.
The document of ratification per-
sonally was presented by Ambas-
sador Debuchi, of Japan and with
this action the treaty become bind
ing upon the 46 nations which have
expressed adherence to it's terms.
There was no ceremony at the
department and Immediately after
receipt of the japanese instru-
ment, those present left for the
White House where a short time
later President Hoover proclaimed
that the treaty now was in force.
Delivering a short address, Mr..
Hoover asked the diplomats to con-
vey to their governments the ap-
probation of the United States that
through their cordial collaboration
an act so suspicious for the fu-
ture happiness of mankind had
been brought to its contamination
II dare predict he said, that
the influence of the treaty for the
remuneration of war will be felt in
a large proportion of all future in
ternational acts. The magnificent
opportunity and the compelling
duty now open to us should spur
us on to the fulfillment of every
opportunity that is calculated to
extend the policy which this treaty
so nobly sets FORTH
Mr.. Hoover declared he was glad
OF an opportunity to pay "merited
tribute to the two statesmen whose
names the world has properly
adopted in its designation of this
treaty" To Aristide BRAND, French
foreign minister, the President
said, was due the inception of the
pact and much of the success of
the negotiations which followed,
while to former Secretary F. B.
Kellogg was due the credit for ex-
banding the treaty into a pact of
world wide significance.

Legge's Friends Say He is
Man Needed on Farm Body
Chairman of Hoover Board Was
Raised in Country; His Rise
Very Rapid

The country has been humming
with stories about Alexander Leg
ge, the man who is giving up his
100000 position as president of the
International Harvester company
of Chicago in order to serve as
chairman of the federal farm
board of President Hoover at a
salary of $4,000 a year.
Who is Mr.. Legge? How did he
come to be the president of the In
ternational Harvester company?
How did he come to be chosen as
the head of the vitality important
new agricultural body?
The story goes back to 1891-to
the time when Alexander Lego
started his business career in the
Council Bluffs, Ia, branch of the
old Mccormick Harvester com
pany.
He was born on a farm in Dane
county, Wis, in 1866, moved to Ne
braska in 1881, and worked on a
farm until the time he entered the
employ of the harvester company.
During the war he was Bernard
Baruch's vice chairman of the war
industries board and was manager
of the allied purchasing commits
sion.
When Harold F. Mccormick
became manager of the Council
Bluffs branch in 1892, he asked DIR.
Donald MacRae, Council Bluffs
physician:
DO you know of any young
man around here worth pushing
to the top of our company"
The man you need is Alex
Legbge," was the answer.
DR.. MacRae first befriended Legge
when the youth had first come to
Council Bluffs.
Legge rapidly became manager
of the Council Bluffs branch, then
dations for the farm board, he
Council Bluffs territory.
In 1918 the Mccormick Har-
vester company was merged with
the International Harvester COM
pany.
Legge was appointed general
later becoming vice pres
ident. Harold Mccormick resigned
the presidency in 1922, and told the
board of directors:
"The man you need is Alex
Legge."
Since then Legge has been pres
ident Of the International Harvest
er company, and when President
Hoover cast about for recommen-
dations for the BARN board, he
heard from all sides the oft-repeat-
ed phrase:
THE man you need is Alex
Legge."

ATTENDS FURNITURE SALE

The furniture industry should
experience one of its most success
full years in 1929, says F. j.
Unger, of the Unger Furniture Co.
Mr.. Unger left July 10 for Chicago,
ILL.,, and Grand Rapids, Mich, to at
tend the furniture style show at the
American Furniture Mart.
"Our problem is difficult one"
says Mr.. Unger "for we have dis
eliminating public in this commun-
ity. What may meet the needs of
the masses about the country, may
not meet the demands of our peo-
pie. Twice each year, the manu-
facturers unveil their latest crea-
tons, and while it is a pleasure to
buy what we know will delight
our customers, the job of selecting
from such great display is ire
mendous one

COURT RULES THAT ALASKA TIDE LANDS
 NOT ALIENABLE

That no one, not excepting In- dians, can hold paramount title to tide lands in Alaska, and that such lands, even when oc- cupied, remain the property of the United States and subject to federal authority under all conditions, was declared re- gently by Judge E. Coke Hill of the Third Division district court in decision handed down in the case of the Unit ed States against Jennie Lynch, Ketchikan Indian.
 In an action to enjoin the de- fendant from erecting certain permanent structures on tide land on Tongass Narrows, the government contended that such action would affect nav igation and contravene the paramount rights of the Unit ed States.
 Judge James Wickersham, representing the defendant, contended that she possessed the right under the Indian claims law to hold the land in question and asserted that she could not be disturbed in her use of it.
 In his decision, handed down October 16, Judge Hill upheld the government and decided that Congress at no time had made it possible for Indians or anyone else to claim para mount title to tide lands, title to which, he declared, re- mained vested in the federal government in trust for a fut- ure state that may be created out of the Territory of Alaska.
 The case was the first of it's kind affecting the use of tide lands by individuals where such use or occupation was op- posed by the government.

SUSPENSION OF PROSPECTOR AID
 ACT ANNOUNCED

The funds for the first half of the current biennium having been exhausted, and as no ad- ditional funds will be available until the beginning of the last year of the bienniun, April 1, 1880; suspension of payments under the Prospectors' Aid Act of Alaska until March 31s next, was announced a few days ago by B. D. Stewart, Commissioner of Transportat- ion in charge of the fund and in general supervision of the administration of the Act.
 Under the 1929 act of the Alaska Legislature, the Con- missioner is required to dis purse each year as nearly as possible 50 per cent of the en- tire appropriation for the twoS year period. The Legislature appropriated $20,000 for the biennium, of which slightly more than $1O,O00 has been expended. As a result, it has become necessary to not con- sider any more applications for assistance under the Act nor to receive vouchers cover- ing such aid until the last half of the biennium opens on April 1,
 MT. Stewart said his office will probably issue a revision of the present regulations; which will probably change some of the present interpre- tations of some phases of the Act, in order to insure ade- quate funds to take care of the most urgent cases. It may also be necessary to allot specific, limited amounts to various sections of the Territory.

cooperation of the owners with interests that are inclined to open up that part of our won derfully mineralized district.
 Another serious rawback, MT. Haddon continued" has been the absence of easy means of communication. However, with the completion of the new government truck road to the Chickamin district through the Texas Creek valley, I feel that the Texas section will go ahead fast, if our good friends, the prospectors, will open their hearts and see the soundness of the view that the buyer must be given an opportunity to see what he will receive back from his investment before he has to call on his packers for heavy payments. It is my opinion that many properties can and will be opened up and a payroll es- tablished in the Texas area if our prospectors will see the wisodm of cooperating with capital in the development of their properties, as they are do- ing elsewhere in our prosper ous country,
 Tt is folly for anyone to ex- pect large initial payments on properties in this district, which no tonly labor under the disadvantages of the short

RYDER, ALASKA SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, ls29
BOAT OWNER HAS
 MARROW ESCAPE

Oscar Larsen's power boat sank suddenly at it's moorings at the Hyder dock early Tues day morning and came peril ously close to carrying it's own CT to the bottom of Portland Canal.
 MT. Larson was asleep in the cabin and was suddenly awak- ened by the water coming into his bunk. A nasty investigat- ion revealed nearly three feet of water in the cabin. Realiz- ing that the boat was sinking under him, MT. Larson attempt ed to escape by the door but found it jammed and was com pelled to break a window. For tunately for him, the window was large enough to let him pass through and he escaped to the dock clad only in his shirt and underclothing.
 The sinking is attributed by Mr. Larson to the water gain ing ingress around the exhaust pipe from the engine. The yes sel was raised without diff culty and practically undam- aged by its descent into Davy Jones' locker.
 Later Since the above was written, MT. Larson and his boat became the victims of an- other unfortunate and danger ous experience as a result of the vessel catching fire from and overturned gas lamp while undergoing an overhauling in the creek in the rear of the old Mcdonnell Hotel late Friday afternoon.
 MT. Larson succeeded in smothering the flames before serious damage resulted but suffered the misfortune of hay ing one of his hands painfully burned before the blaze was quenched.
 Aside from being a little scorched, the vessel sustained no damage.

MRS. THOS. DODD
 PASSES AWAY

Mrs. Jeanne Hortense Dodd,
 wife of M. T. Dodd, proprietor
 of the Town Pump cigar and
 notion store, passed to the
 Great Beyond at her home on Main Street early Thursday morning. Her unfortunate de-
 mise eliminated an illness of many months, resulting from a complication of disorders for which no permanent medical relief could be obtained.
 Deceased was a real pioneer of the North, having first ar rived in Alaska 31 years ago. During her long residence in the Territory she lived at var ious times in Skagway, Fair banks, Seward and Kanatak, before coming to Hyder four years ago with Mir. Dodd.
 Mrs. Dodd was native of France, having been born in Paris November 3, 1876. In ad- dition to her husband, to whom the heartfelt sympathy of the community goes out in his sad bereavement, she is survived by relatives who reside in Paris.
 The funeral was held this Saturday. afternoon under the auspices of the Hyder Ig- loo of the Pioneers of Alaska and with the impressive and beautiful ritualistic ceremon- ies of the order. The services were attended by a large num- Der from both sides of the in- ternational boundary line and numerous floral offerings at tested the regard in which the deceased was held by those who knew her.
 The remains were laid at rest in Riverview cemetery after the impressive graveside cere- monies of the Pioneers.
 The pail bearers included T. H. Evans, Thomas Kelley, B. B. Smith, L. R. Doggett, P. Stof- felson and Angus Kennedy. The Pioneer ceremonies were conducted by John Roman and Clyde B. Hager, officiating re- spectively as president and chaplain. The funeral arrange ments were directed by E. E. Charleton.

NEWSY JOTTNGS BEARING ON LOCAL
 MINING ACTIVITIES

Good progress in the extens- ion of the main tunnel on the Northern Light property of the Premier Border Gold Mining Company is revealed in a re- port of development progress made public in the south a few days ago.
 The tunnel, which is being ex- tended southeast at an elevat- ion of 1131 feet and at approx imately the same horizon as the No. 5 tunnel on the Pre- mier Gold Mining Go. property, was in 1161 feet at the end of October, having been advanced a distance of 215 feet during the month.
 The tunnel is expected to cut within about two hundred feet a sulphide zone, discovered by diamond drilling, which is said by the report to have showed values up to $43 over narrow

It is we'll to remember the slo- gan of the Guggenheim's: |: Not a dollar for a prospect, but a million for a mine.' If we want the million we must first open up the prospect and this can soon be done if we will but realize the great difficult ies confronting local operators as result of the short seasons, heavy snows and poor trans portation; and realize also the unsoundness of the terms de- manded for prospects through out the district.
 we have numerous good prospects here; let us cooper ate with capital to get them opened up and sold. Prosperity will then come to all of us."

THOUGHT IT TIME
 LOVE WENT SOUTH

Ernest Love, manager of the Portland Canal Telephone & Telegraph Co.,, had consider able fun Friday while connect ing the new telephone cable on a pole in front of the Customs Office. He was talking with the Stewart office nearly every minute, as the lines were con- nected, prefacing with the us- ual "hello." Hearing his calls, passers-by below would look up and answer: "Hullo," think ing MT. Love was addressing them. Others, however, saw in his frequent repetitions of the word plain evidence that the urbane MT Love was about due for a trip out. One of them remarked to a bystander that it was high time a man went Outside when he began talking to himself. Another ,casually remarked that talking to ones- self was bad enough, but when a man talked to himself and then answered his own quest ions, he KNEW that the man in question should go cut.
