Compiling Territorial Laws

The compilation and annota- tion of the laws of Alaska, authorized by the last Terri torial legislature is now under way in Juneau under the di- rection of Attorney General Rustgard. The work will cover all laws passed by the Alaska Legislature since its inception and is very greatly needed as, owing to changes in many en- actments, there is such con- fusion of the laws that scarce ly lawyer in the Territory knows exactly what is the law in many cases.
 The Attorney General has employed Henry Roden, one of the ablest lawyers in Alaska, and Lawrence Kerr, widely eX- perienced court reporter and clerk of the House of Repre- sentatives at the last session, to do the work, for which the legislature appropriated $12,- 900. MT. Roden will compile the civil code and MT. Kerr the criminal.

MOOSE PARK IS
 WELL WORTH VISIT

Extensive improvements to
 the Moose Park and swimming pool were completed this week
 by Portland Canal Lodge No.
 1218, Loyal Order of Moose
 and that splendid public r.,
 reation ground is now in tn
 finest of shape for swimming
 and picnicing. It may also
 be said that even tho one may not care to swim or picnic, a visit to this beautiful sylvan
 spot among the lofty peaks {,
 mile above town is well worth
 the time required for the trip.
 Being maintained by the Moose
 as a public park, it is always
 open to the public, who may enjoy it's privileges as they
 will, provided proper cleanli
 ness is maintained and fire precautions observed.
 The park is approached by means of a series of natural stone steps and a winding graveled path among lofty trees. A crystal brook Hanks the trail and gurgles merrily as it tumbles among moss grown rocks and under a pret ty rustic bridge. Wooden seq along the trail provide resi- spots for those unused to th moderate climbing demands oI the trail. At the crest of the trail lies the huge log dam which forms the swimming pool of clear, warm water, ten feet in depth at the lower sid and shelving up to soft, san bottomed shallow depth where the litle folks may dis port themselves without dang CT or paddle around in a small row boat, carefully guarded from the deep waters by ring of floating logs. A broad board platform across the the dam provides ample room for doz- ems and two spacious dressing rooms and toilets, in addition 10 a swimming platform and spring boards. The entire lake is open to the sky, permitting the sun to maintain the water at a comfortable temperature and affording pleasing glimp- ses of the lofty wooded hills and the Premier tramWay. To overcome an influx of cold water which heretofore has kept the pool a trifle too chilly for comfort except in the warmest weather. The Moose have just installed a 200 foot Hume which carries the cold water over the dam and also brings fine drinking water where it is most needed.
 The picnic ground is on a cleared space overlooking the pool and is fitted with a table and an iron stove for cooking. The new improvements cost in the neighborhood of $200. In addition to their monetary ex- penditures, the Moose have contributed to the improve ment of the park a very large amount of labor of voluntary character. Just how much they have done to give the commun- ity this fine outing place can not be appreciated without visit and all who can are urged to do so.

Silver Moves UP

An increase of two cents in the price of silver during the week is attributed in London press reports to buying in China and India and to reports of forthcoming important an- nouncements regarding inter- national finances.

CHARGES HOOVER
 DELAYED MEETING

Charges that president Hoov- CT was responsible for tenn porary setback in the silver conference movement and that Great Britain is opposing the calling of an international sil- yer conference were made by Senator Key. Fittman in a press interview given in Shang- hai a few days ago.
 Pittman sharply scored the president for his recent tele- gram to Senator Reed Shoot, of Utah, in which the president was reported as saying the United States was willing to participate in an informal" international silver conference but believed the present was not opportune for a formal conference, owing to the op- position of certain nations.
 Tt is amazing" the Nevada senator is reported as saying, "that foreign influence can be brought to bear on such high American official circles"
 Senator Putnam said Presi- dent Hoover's telegram to Sen. ator Shoot had been made public at a critical" moment, when Pittman himself was in Ranking conferring with Chi nese Nationalist government officials and with a definite move looming on the part of certain nations for the calling of the proposed conference, H. added that as a result of the presidents message these nat ions now were hesitating to assume leadership in such move, and for that reason the conference prospects had re ceived "a temporary setback but not for long!"
 There was every indication that the Chinese and Japan csc governments were serious ly considering immediate ac- ton relative to the calling of an international silver confer ence between governments, until Hoover's telegram to Sen ator Shoot discouraged such action," Senator Pittman con tinued.
 Tt is impossible to conceive, in view of all the circumstance es, that the governments of China and Japan could be sat isfied with the holding of a useless informal conference. It might be denominated silly, if it were not tragic" :"
 Senator Pittman asserted the British opposition was being used by the London govern ment as a trading point" by which Great Britain hoped she might obtain readjustment of the war debts to the United States.
 "The informal conference on silver, suggested by Senator Shoot and apparently approv- ed by President Hoover is, in my opinion, a futile move. l am afraid it would be suspect ed by certain governments most interested, as a subter- fuge. Such an informal con- ference, not initiated by gov ernments and for which gov ernments are responsible, will be but a repetition of the two conferences already held, the United States chamber of commerce conference on the subject, and the similar con- ference of the international chamber of conference" Sen otor pittp,an caid

CHURCH LEADER
'SOaks" Low Wage Employ
eS for Broken Windows

ST. John, N. B. (ILNS)-Louis
Simms, president of T. S. Simms &
Company, manufacturing brushes and
brooms at Fairville, N. B., has novel
system to compensate the firm for
glass breakage.
The factory building is chiefly of
glass. Each light of glass can be
bought for three cents. When one of
the little panes is broken, it is
charged up against the employees
working in the department in which
the broken pane is located. Each
member of the department is fined
three cents. Thus it is that in one
department $1.50 has been collected
for one pane. The money is extracted
from the pay of each employe in the
department.
Another unique plan was for Mrs.
Simms to deliver lectures on the need
of more church work in connection
with the Baptist denomination, the
hour chosen being from 1890 to 1,
which meant the workers had to
hurry from their lunch a half hour in
advance of normal. Mr.. Simms is
president of the Baptist Church
Brotherhood and very active in
church activities.
The Simms plan is non-union and
is claimed to pay the lowest wages OF
any brush and broom factory in North
America. At present it is operating
on working basis of four days pei
week, with reduced crew volume.
In order to combat union organiza
tion, Simms has formed "shop coun

of the Volstead act and pointing out
that modification of the act is Of di-
