UNCLE ROBY
THROWN OUT
Carey To Manage Robins
During Coming
Season

NEW YORK, Oct "a. R1-Max
Carey has succeeded 6~4-year-old
Wilbert Robinson as manager Of the
Brooklyn Dodgers and for the first
time since the death OF Charles III.
Ebbets in 1915 the Dodgers can face
the rest OF the National league with
a united front.
The ousting Of Robinson after II
years service, decided on unani-
mously by the directors, brings to
an end the most violent club war
In baseball history.
Cleveland, knoc..ed out Jimmy Dor
game car be found any fued to rival.
In intensity. that which ragged for
half a dozen years betwc n Robin
son and Steve McKeev half-own-
er Of the Dodgers.
1t was a feud based entirely on
personal grounds but IL reached a
point where the two men, genial
and affable enough by themselves,
dared not meet for fear of trading
rights and lefts in the best pugil-
istic fashion. They couldn't agree on
anything-on plays, on policies or on
how the clubs money ought to be
spent.
McKeever openly has sought Rob-
inson's baseball scalp for years but
during most of that time a deadlock
existed on the board of directors
with McKeever interests holding two
votes and the Ehbets heirs, support
erS OF Robinson, also two. Robinson
thus could not be removed.
Two years ago the National lea
que stepped In and sought 10 pour
oil on the troubled waters. The net
result was the appointment as a
fifth and neutral director. OF Wolter
Dutch) Carter. former Yale pitcher.
Carter, the balance wheel among the
directors. was credited with settling
the dispute and selecting Carey rs
the logical man for the managers
post.

PREDICTS REVIVAL
 OF SILVER ISSUE

Revival of the silver issue which made the presidential campaign in 1896 one of the bitterest in American history was predicted last week by Senator Walsh of Montana.
 Walsh said the bimetalism question was forcing itself up- on the world today as a re- suit of the maldistribution and shortage of gold and the "de- struction of the purchasing power of a large part of the orient and Latin America"
 The veteran Montana sen ator said he was interested in reports Great Britain desired an international conference on the gold problem and said he hoped England could be in duced to consider silver as well as gold.

Nc Marked Rise In Silver

Reports circulated locally to the effect that silver had ad- vanced IA cents since the Brit ish financial crisis appear to- tally unwarranted in the light of outside press reports. These show that although silver pric- es and currencies based on that metal have maintained a con- tinued advance, the actual in- crease amounts to no more than three or. four cents. Thursdays quotations, the last available, placed the price of bar silver in New York al 2838 cents per ounce.
 Bar silver was quoted in New York at 2912 cents on Septem- Der 23. This was the highest level reached since July 3 and was 2 cents under the highest for the year.

 License To Hunt

Now that the fall hunting season for deer, goats and other game is on, attention ia directed to the provisions of the Alaska game laws forbid ding aliens to take game birds or animals within the Alaska territory or to own or possess firearms of any kind without having in their possession a special alien hunting and trap ping license.
 The provision referred to applies to all persons who arc not citizens of the United States or who have not de- clared their intention to be- come citizens. The fee for 3uch alien special license is S100 per year. Attractions of ,he law subject the offender to a fine of not less than S25 or more than $500, or impris- onment for not more than 6 months, or both fine and im- prisonment. The law also per mits confiscation of firearms found in the possession of al iens who do not hold a license.
 Citizens of the United States who are not residents of Alas ia are also required to have either general hunting and trapping license, the fee for which is $50 per annum, or a nonresident small game hunt ,ng license, for which the an- nual fee is S10. Non-residents are also forbidden to have any protected animal or bird in their possession at any time without first having procured l nonresident hunting or trapping license. The law fur
 her provides that persons shipping out of Alaska game animals or birds, or parts hereof, must first procure an export license.

Duck Season Now Closed

The duck shooting season, curtailed recently by presiden- tial edict to a period of SC days, came to an end Wednes- day night. AS the shooting sea son was over before the fall flights from the north ap- peared here, local sportsmen scarcely had an opportunity to enjoy the usual fall feastS of roast duck. Whoever was re- sponsible for the presidential proclamation plainly did not know much about the duck situation in southern Alaska or that the birds seldom appear in more than negligible num- bers on the coast until Oct ober and November.
 For this reason the Hoover edict caused a great storm of protest throughout southeast Alaska but the powers that be refused to extend the season, although similar protests by sportsmen of more influence in the south resulted in changes in a dozen or more states, ac- cording to press reports. Contrary to Washington an ticipations, Canada did not curtail the duck season in the least.

TIME NOW RIPE FOR
 SILVER CONFERENCE

Senator Key Pittman, dis cussing the sudden temporary suspension of the gold stand ard by Great Britain, said that it was Impossible to con- ceive" that the British gov ernment would decline longer to accept an invitation from President Hoover to partici- pate in an international con- ference on the silver question.
 Since the suspension of the gold standard by Great Brit ain," he said, it must appear obvious that the future effort of the British government of India to place that country on a gold bullion standard basis must be abandoned. In aban- doning such a policy India will, of couse, abandon the practice of melting up silver rupee coins and disposing of the met al as bullion.
 'It is now undoubtedly to the interest of Great Britain and India to restore the price and purchasing power of sill yer. Great Britain can not ob- tain gold, but she can obtain silver from India. Great Brit ain on a silver standard would have an advantage over the United States and other gold standard countries.
 This is another reason why cur own government must as sist in raising the price of sill yer, restoring it's purchasing power and thus raising it's ex- change value with gold"

DEMOCRATS ID
 HOLD CONVENTIONS

A territorial Democratic con- vention in Fairbanks begin ming January 12 and a divis- ional convention in each of the four judicial divisions in Alas ka not later than December 10, have been called by T. J. Don- oboe, chairman of that party's Territorial committee, accord ing to the Juneau Empire.
 The time and place of each of the four divisional conven- tional is to be decided by the divisional chairman.
 It is said in explanation that the democrats plan not so much to reorganize their party as to strengthen the present organization and extend it's scope of activities in prepara- tion for next years campaign and have turned to the conven- ton method to achieve that ob- ject.
 a In his call MT. Donohoe out lined the purposes of the con- ventions as follows: The div isional gatherings are to nom- mate full legislative tickets; elect complete divisional con- mittees of 7 members and elect l5 delegates to a territorial convention. The territorial con- vention will nominate a candi- date for delegate to congress and a full territorial ticket, in addition to candidates for na- tional committeeman, dele gates to the national democrat ic convention, and a territorial committee.

The Exchange Riddle

One of the least understood developments connected with the present moneary situation is the marked decrease in the exchange value of the Canad- ian dollar.
 The vagaries displayed by exchange during the past week have apparently been without any basis of reason. The dis count has ranged from 2 per cent to as high as IS per cent, the latter figure being the quotation announced at Prince Rupert one day this week. Seattle quotations placed the discount as high as 12 percent on bank checks and 13 per cent on Canadian currency and press reports indicated similar rates at Alaska points where Canadian money circulates.
 The peculiar feature of the situation is that no one ap pears to know of any justifi- able reason why Canadian cur fency should be worth any less at present than before the re :ent decline in the British pound sterling. Perusal of doz- ens of outside press comments relative to the situation has failed to reveal the slightest explanation as to the why ana wherefore and there appears 70 be neithed definite factor. 5r variety of conditions which would account for such wide fluctuations as have appeared uurlng the week. TO the man n the street, the situation sug- gests nothing SO much as a money changers scheme to mulct the public.
 Whatever the reason, the ex. change quotations are the highest in more than a decade and to the average man ap, pears to be utterly unjustifie6 by conditions, as Canada's as sets and reserves have been in no degree impaired by the fall in sterling or Britain's if nancial situation.

No Wage Cuts at Premier

A rumor current during the week to the effect that the Premier Gold Mining Con- pany had made a ten per cent cut in wages on October 1 is without foundation, according to members of the Premier of flee staff.
 Despite reduced income and other difficulties due to the times, the Premier has steadily maintained the wage scales of the past several years and as far as is known here has no present intention of making reductions.
 This is a most commendable attitude, as wage reductions at this time would entail a severe hardship to the entire commun- ity, which is depending large ly on the mine payroll for SUD- port in the present almost com- plete standstill in other mining activities.

Georgia River Gold
 Renews Activities

Planning extensive develop ment work on the promising series of gold bearing veins definitely known to exist on he property, the Georgia River Gold Mines, Ltd, resum- d activities on it's extensive Georgia River holdings this week and will continue work turing at least a large part of he winter season, according to present contemplations.

 It is the intention of the com )any to extend the drift tun- lel on the Bullion vein to a )oint about 40 feet beyond the present face and thereafter un a crosscut to the main yein, some 250 feet. Follow ng contact with the main vein, hat important lead will be lrifted on with a view to gain ng increased depth and an in- ;rease of gold values which previous operations indicated :ould be expected with deep r operations.
 Two shifts will be run, using he machine drill plant install d a year or so ago.

Governor Urges Action
 On Unemployment

Governor George A. Parks. in a letter to the All-Alaska Chamber of Commerce, urges the necessity for each Alaska community taking early steps toward coping with local un- employment conditions before the situation becomes acute.
 The Governors message says that incomplete reports from various parts of the Territory indicate an unusual amount of unemployment during the com ing winter and suggests that this situation may be met without unnecessary hardship if precautions are taken at this time to provide adequate plans in each community to re- lieve it.
 Although the situation is not acute at the present time,' the message says, ''it may be- come serious unless steps are taken to provide work or other assistance for the unemployed in each community. From in- formation now available, it seems almost certain that if every community will assume the responsibility of caring for those within it's borders who are unemployed, Alaska will not be confronted with the nec- essity of resorting to bread lines. Every community in the Territory should be able to provide means whereby assist ance may be rendered to local residents during the winter. This is the only logical way of meeting the situation
 Continuing, the governors message points out that the city of Juneau, through the American Legion and Chamber of Commerce, is making a canvass to determine the num- Der of unemployed and rep resentative committee has un- dertaken to devise ways and means to provide those in UT gent need with part time work and suggests that similar act ionbe taken in every commun' ity.
