SEATTLE ASSAY OFFICE HANDLED 2O0 MILLIONS
 0F kLAsKA's COLD

1 Seattle's government assay offlce,
 one of the seven maintained in the United States, some time this
 month will move from it's first and
 only home on Ninth Avenue to the new Immigration building in Seat tie Boulevard and Sixth Avenue South.
 Established July 15, 1898, the as
 say office has been in the build ing which was erected for it by Thomas Prosch, Seattle pionner, on the lot adjacent to his home. Since it's establishment there has
 been total of $344 100000 in gold passed through the office. Of this amount Alaska has furnished, in round numbers, $2OO,O00,O00, Yukon Territory s94 100000, British Colum-
 bia $25,OOO,O0O and the rest came from Washington, Oregon and Ida hO.
 This huge mass of raw gold, T. c. Hathaway, assayer in charge, declares virtually all virgin produc- tion, weighs in round numbers 663 tons and would load a freight train of thirty three cars, 40,000 pounds to the car, with eight tons left over.
 When the office moves to the new plant at the top of the i'm migration station there will be $1,- 100000 of raw gold to be handled, estimating from the amount which is usually kept on hand or in tran
 sit through the department, all
 though actual figures are not avail
 able and the departmental heads are prohibited from making it known.

LUJO BRENTANO

Chief among Lujo Brentano's efforts, economist who died Wednesday at Munich his opposition to Lassaes doctrine that the laborng population increases or decreases in fixed relation to the rise fall of wages rise leading to a growth of population, which, by enhancing the supply of labor is followed by cores bonding fall of wages. That the condition Of the work ing man will never permanently rise above the mere standard of living required for his subsistence and the continued supply of his kind, Lassalles cheeress theory Against this and also against Karl Marks dog mas and the Manchester School of individual labor con- tracts Brentano wieded powerful pen. He held that labor article that need be subject to the laws governing marketable commodities but could be reg uated in it's pecuniary value by collective contract
 This fact which has since become self-evident, was in those days in the nature of discovery Lujo Bren tano might indeed be called the creator of the theory of modern trade unionsm In all his numerous writ ings-which include approximately 20 voumes-he cham poned the rights of the worker against state and pr vate capitalstic eXplotatonnot revolutionary but as liberal humanitarian, who rejected the conception of the state as an institute for forced labor and the consummaton of the liberty of the subject not in the isolation of the individual but in the cooperation of or ganic groups.
 In Germany he was the earliest propagator of the argument that high wages and short hours do not essaiy mean excessively priced products As for work CTS insurance he held that this should be borne by the workers themselves part of their earnings and not be shouldered by the state.
 Speaking at the International Congress for Social Politics at Prague in 1929, he affirmed his adherence to trade unionism and the eght-hour working day. AL though he disagreed with Germanys ratification of the Washington Agreement he nevertheless offered stern opposition to the efforts of those ndusriasts who ad vocated the internationazatn of 10 12 hour day in the plea that Germans must work harder"

WESTWARD CHROME MEN
 BUILD SHELTER CABINS

Work preparatory to the arrival of surveying an d construction crews for the Red Mountain road in the Seldovia vicinity, has been going steadily on. The net results to date are the completion of housing cabins on the mountain and also at Tutka Bay, together with sheltered areas for supplies, says the Seldovia Herald.
 Definite announcement concern ing road route to be adopted can- not be made until road authorities are on the ground, with surveys out of the way. Tutka Bay route is shorter and presents fewer en- gineering problems to overcome, believes W. F. Lass, joint owner of the Red Mountain and Port Chatham chrome iron properties.
 MT. Lass Is looking forward to Ia chrome iron mining era for Sel- |dovia region; though nothing like an exact statement dealing with operating data has been given out. Improved market conditions are looked for with first signs of industrial adjustment.
 In the meantime road construc- tion will go forward, and other preliminary work will be under taken, all tending to the point of readiness when the right break comes.

PUTTING ALASKA ON THE MAP

Alaskans are thankful to the many who exerting every in giving the Territory the publicity it de- serves Of these various individuals and agencies the name of Father Bernard Hubbard "the Glacier Priest is pre-eminent.
 In recent edition of the Seattle Sunday Times there appear two excellent photographs of the noted explorer and geologst of Santa Clara University in the Anak- chak volcano Also in recent number of the Saturday Evening Post appeared lengthy and exceptionally well illustrated article on his 1880 explorations the Alaska Peninsula
 Pictures of Alaska, such as these, accompanied by intelligent descriptive stories, bound to awaken an interest in the Norhand and that interest perhaps at some distant date, may be incentive to journey to Alaska.
 There is certainly one thing which has reflected to Alaskas credit from the recent Lindberghs flight publicity throughout the wide world Papers are being received in every mail by The Gateway from former visitors Alaska and from subscribers in the States all of which play up the Lnds hop and brief Alaska stay For which we give thanks.
