CHAMBER COMMERCE REPRESENTATWEW|LL
 GO ID HAzELTON N

In an effort to promote con struction of a branch of the proposed Pacific -Yukon-Alas- ka Highway to Hyder and Stewart, Messrs. Frank Reich enback and H. w. M. Rolston, representing the Hyder Cham Der of Commerce and Stewar; Board of Trade, respectively will leave Tuesday morning for Hazelton, B. C., to attend the convention of American and Canadian officials ane press representatives who vii meet at that point June 21-2l to further construction of the great international highway project.
 The convention will culmi nate the journey of largo automobile caravan from Van couyer to Hazelton, which ha.- been suggested by Premier s S. F. Tolmie, of British Colum. bia, as an effective means ,o- displaying to the visiting dele gations the scenic and othel characteristics of a large DOT ton of the country througl which the projected highway would pass. Included amon9 the large number scheduled t. make the trip to Hazelton, a the northern end of the roat which would form the frs section of the Highway, arc Premier Tolmie, Ernest Walk CT Sawyer, executive assistan to the Secretary of the Inter for of the United States, Gov George A. Parks, of Alasks and other notables.
 As indicated above, the eff forts of the local representa- lives will be directed principal ly to securing the construct ion of a branch of the highway to Stewart and Hyder as soon as possible, thereby opening way for automobile travel to Alaska by a short route long before the main highway could be completed to Alaska via Northern British Columbia anC the Yukon Territory. It is be- lieyed that the proposed short route will prove an attractive trip to thousands of auto tour, ists who might not have tho time or means to make the fal longer journey to Fairbanks. An added inducement for the construction of the proposed short route is that this district and particularly the Texas Creek and Chickamin River sections, are conceded to con tain an unparalleled array os scenic grandeurs, including mile high mountain peaks. massive and far spreading glaciers, many of which can be reached and traversed by automobiles, and a vast array of entrancing wooded valleys and beautiful lakes, which would undoubtedly draw many tourists, once the way was opened.

MAY COMMERCE
 SHOWS BIG DROP
 ALL COMMODITIES

Shipments of Alaska merch- andise to the States last month were the lowest in value of any similar month for many years past, it was revealed by the May report of Customs Collect or J. c. Mcbride.
 The total value of all merch- andise exports was only $708,- 49O, a decrease of $1,361,584 compared to May, 1929. Large reductions in canned salmon and copper exports were the principal factors in the slump, although the statement shows a general reduction in the val ue of fish, fur and metal prod ucts, exclusive of gold and sil- yer. Two items, fresh and mild cure salmon alone showed an increase over May, 1929.
 Copper shipments fell off $526,148 compared to those C. the same month last year and canned sa l m on shipments slumped from $439,930 in May 1929 to S19. Furs decreased in value from S355,704 to $4O,- 825.
 Gold and silver shipments were also below the monthly average for the past year witll total values of S254,473, ot which gold contributed S244,- 615.
 The list of commodities and values follows:

FLOOD CONTROL
 PLANS OUTLINED
Report and recommendations of Board of Engineers, U. s. War Department, for control of Salmon River Floods.

Continued from last week.
 The town of Hyder is at pres ent in great danger from floods of the Salmon River in that there is likelihood of a major ] flood passing to the east from the lower end of Dike No. 2 inundating the town and caus. ing severe immediate damage to property. Following a flood of this kind a low-water chan nel might be created through the town, which lies upon low ground. This shifting of the river through the town might completely destroy the majority of the present build ings and would work excessive hardship on the citizens of Hy- der.
 No accurate record of flood stages has been kept, but from a consideration of all data available it would appear that flood stages have in the past 10 years attained height of 6 feet above low-water level. This would give an estimated average high-water discharge of 10000 cubic feet per second. 1t is estimated that the maxi mum probable high-water dis charge is greatly in excess of this amount. Statements of To- cal inhabitants are to the eff feet that floods have occurred, in the following years, viz, 1917, 1920, 1921, 1926, and 1929. This is an average of one every three years and it is be- lieved that average floods oc- cur over this periodicity. It is probable that higher floods oc- cur every fifteen years. -
 There is no other possible To- cation for the townsite without going into Canadian territory, as on account of the steepness of the mountains there is no suitable high ground avaic able along the Salmon River Valley and all of the valley floor is subject to the same flood conditions. To move the town site toward Portland Can al would involve driving of pile foundations for every building and street. This would be un- stable, subject to rapid deter ioration, a great fire hazard, and of prohibitive cost.
 The town should not be aban- doned altogether, because it is the only American port of en- try into the highly mineralized Salmon and Texas Creek min- ing districts To abandon Fly der altogether would be to turn over to Stewart and Hy- der, British Columbia, the port of entry to this valuable asset of the United States. The neighboring town of Stewart. British Columbia, which lies in the flood plain of the Bear Riv- CT and which is subject to ap- proximately the same flood conditions as is Hyder, is now being protected from flood waters by a heavy rock dike 1000 feet in length, construct ed by the bureau of public works of the Province of Brit ish Columbia at public expense without local contribution. A statement from the department shows that to date $14.560 has been expended upon this work and a further extension of l. 200 feet is now contemplated at 9 cost of $1S,000.

by which Mr.. Chipman sought
tosrecoyer $50, 900 commission for
his efforts in assisting Pierce and
the Central Public Service Cor
poration of Chicago to obtain

been employed by Mr.. Pierce
and his associates in the fan OF

interest In the stock Of the
washington Gas Light Company,
and was to have been paid q
commission Of 81 for each share
he obtained. As a result OF ms
