WASSON LEAVES ID
 FIND BURKE'S BODY

Pilot Everett Wasson, who recently rescued Bob Martin and Emil Kading, survivors of the Burke party, from the wilds of the Atlin district, left Tuesday to complete his long errand of mercy by bring ing in the body of Capt. E J. A. Burke from the log grave in which it was placed by Martin and Kading after Burke ,c- cumbed to starvation and ex. posture on the grinding march through the snow after leaving Burke's plane in an effort to find food and shelter at Moose Lake, fifty miles away.
 Wasson plans to land at the same lake where he stopped on his first rescue mission and will then mush to Burke's last camp in company with Joe Walsh, his trapper guid ;, and carry Burke's body over the ten miles of hard trail. Martin and Kading are at Whitehorse recovering slowly from their terrible experience.
 They report that the plane was twice forced down hy snow while returning to Atlin October 1, Once Burke got it into the air again, but scraped a hole in a pontoon the second time.
 After waiting 7 days at the plane, they carved a message on a tree and started away, sinking every step in the soft snow and making only four miles day. Their only food in 23 days was a duck and four squirrels. By Nov. 8, Burke's condition and kidney trouble became acute. Kading tn n killed a caribou with one of the 2 bullets left. The animal providentially crossed his path, as he was too weak to hunt and had to wait for game to come to him. The food, cooked on sticks and in an empty gas can, revived Burke's spirits but not his body and he died soon after in Martins arms.
 Kading and Martin went to bed at 3 P. M. daily to con serve food and fuel until they were found by Wasson, who saw their beacon smoke and dropped rations before land ing at lake 10 miles away.

KETCH|KAN TRIAL
 ENDS SENSAT|ONALLY

The trial on booze charges of "Black Matt" Berkovich, alleged bootleg king of Ketch- iikan, eliminated late last week in one of the most sen- sational double killings in the history of Ketchikan, when Berkovich shot and killed Phil Dohm and then ended his own life.
 r The startling double trag- .edy occurred in the Mint Pool Hall Friday last week between 6:30 and z P. M. Berkovich was recently convicted in the district court after a sensation al booze trial, in which Dohm, who was also indicted for con- spiracy to violate the prohi- bition laws, appeared as chief witness for the government. Following his conviction Berk- ovich charged that Dohm had framed" him n turning states witness at the trial. turning states evidense at the trial.
 Dohm, who had been playing cards in the Mint shortly be- fore the shooting, started to leave the place, passing Berk- ovich enroute to the door. The latter, who had given no hint of his intentions, permitted Dohm to pass him without molestation, then made a sudd- den dash for his enemy, pulled gun and fired two shots in rapid succession into Dohm's back. As Dohm fell, Berkovich ran up to him and fired another shot, the bullet strik- ing the prostrate man in the eye. Two of the three wounds inflicted would have caused instant death
 Berkovich then ordered by islanders to be quiet, walked to the bar, pulled out a letter which he handed to bystand.. CT with instructions to give it to his son and then fired a shot into his own head, dying ij,- stantly. A second loaded g1A with extra cartridges w. !; found in Berkovich's pocket after his death. Letters left by him disclosed clearly he had planned the murder and sui eide, the missives giving ex- plicit directions for the dispos- al of his property and remains One of the letters was dated December 4, eight days before the tragedy, the other Decem- Der 8, following his conviction.
 Fearing a gangland war of reprisal as a result of the shooting, the Ketchikan authorities immediately round ed up many of the supporters of the two victims after the shooting.

Highway Commission
 Is On T h e J o b

The Pacific ukon Highway Commission, appointed by President Hoover to investigate the feasibility of the proposed international highway from the Pacific Coast to Alaska by way of British Columbia and Yukon Territory in conjunction with a similar Canadian commiss- ion, is actively on the job and has already issued an excellent map showing a tentative route for the highway from Seattle to Fairbanks, Alaska.
 A copy of the map received by the Herald last week indi- cates the route of the highway as running from Seattle to Van cOuver and thence northeast. erly to Hope, B. C., via Chilli wack. The route then turns northwesterly to Prince George via Craig Lodge, Williams Lake and Quesnel.
 From Prince George the map defines the route as running almost due west via Burn s Lake and Smithers to Hazelton. From the latter point the route heads steadily northwestward to Whitehorse and Dawson. passing within about 30 or At miles east of Stewart. From Hazelton a branch line is proj- ected southwestward to Prince Rupert. Two other branch projects are elso shown in the area between Hazelton and Whitehorse. The first of these extends southwestern y 0 Wrangell V i a Telegraph Creek; the other runs from Atlin southwesterly to tie vicinity of Juneau.
 Leaving Dawson, the route outlined extends almost due west to Chicken Creek and thence along the Tanara River Valley to Fairbanks.
 The map was published by the Commission on November 18th.
 Late press reports from Washington, D. C., said that the American commission, of which Herbert R. Rico is chair man and Major Malcolm Elliot and Ernest Walker Sawyer associate members, are await ing word from Ottawa while pushing preliminary plans for acting conjointly with the Can adian authorities. It was ex- pected, the reports said, that Premier Bennett would appoint a Canadian commission with in a short time, ana arrange ments would then be made for a conference.

SEEK INTERNATIONAL
 SILVER AGREEMENT

 respect to the silver stabiliza- ton movement are disclosed in recent press reports from the south.
 The latest to add his voice to the growing demand is Senator Robert E. Borah of Idaho. In a recent statement, the Idaho senator declared the opinion that the only solution of the silver question is through some international agreement. .
 The question of a fixed ratio between silver and gold, as Senator Borah sees it, is not as important as steps looking to an agreement among the pow CTS interested in some means of increasing the silver market.
 Senator Borah said he was not proposing an international understanding at this time but he could see no other way to improve the price of silver and at the same time relieve what financiers described as q world gold shortage.
 Secretary Lamont, of the department of commerce, be- lieves the low price of silver is due to foreign selling of sill yer stocks and only an inter- national agreement to prevent this can help the situation, according to a recent statement by him to Senator Oddie. Discussion of silver is spread ing to many parts of the United States and people are beginn- ing to realize that depreciation of the value of silver is destroy ing the purchasing power of the countries with which we have export trade, according to Frank M. Smith, smelter director of the Bunker Hill shelter. MT. Smiths statement was made after attending the American Mining Congress convention in Fl Paso, where the subject was very much in evidence.
 Senator Key Pittman has also arrived at the conclusion that foreign silver selling eXerts a detrimental influence on the silver market and advocated an international agreement to abandon the practice of selling silver among governments in a recent national broadcast on the silver question.
 The Nevada senator critici- zed the action of the British government in India in sub- stituting paper for silver money.
 "The abandonment of the policy of the British govern ment in India will immediately permit silver to go back to its normal price of around 60 cents an ounce," Senator Pitt man said, adding that "the ul. innate stabilization will un- doubtedly be around the price of 60 cents"
 The Senate foreign relation, subcommittee headed by Sen. ator Pullman, which has beer Investigating trade relatior' 1 with the Orient with a view o1 advancing the price of silver issued a statement a few days ago to the effect that direcI loan by the United States of z large amount of silver to Chins might be misinterpreted by other countries which compets for trade with that country.
 MT. and Mrs. Arthur Moa re turned Thursday from a visi in Ketchikan.
