SPEAKER GEO. BLACK
 FOR |NTL. HIGHWAY

That the proposed British Columbia -Yukon-Alaska High way is entirely feasible and the route which has been un- der consideration presents no great difficulties from an en- gineering standpoint, was de. clared by the Hon. George Black, speaker of the House ot Commons, at Ottawa, in an in- terview given to the Juneau Empire during the speakers return journey to Yukon Ter ritory.
 MT. Black had just returned from an informal conference by three of the six members of the international committee who will make a study of the project.
 The first formal meeting will be held in Victoria about Oct ober 10.
 MT. Black spoke of the high way as ''The Golden Twilight Trail" and informed the Elm pire that Ernest Walker Saw yer spoke enthusiastically for the proposed highway at this informal meeting; pointing out the benefits which would nat urally accrue to the province of British Columbia through the opening up of vast areas of what is now virtually unin- habited country. Alaska al- ready has 2,000 miles of road, he said, and the highway through British Columbia would link these roads with those of Canada and the Unit ed States, affording means of transportation to thousands of motorists. This influx of tourists would undoubtedly lead to something in the way of permanent settlers, MT. Saw yer said.
 Much detailed information about British Columbia has been assembled to present to the committee, Mir. Black said, also information from other territories which will be trav- ersed by the highway. This in- formation is the result of sur veys which have been made along the route. This informa- ton will be laid before the committee in October.

Salmon Outlook
 Not Favorable
 Despite Big Pack

Altho the Alaska salmon pack of 1881 has probably ex- ceeded the average year, there is a fear that there will be further decline in the selling price, which went down last year and hardly netted pro- ducing costs, according to Hen- | ry O'Malley, commissioner of fisheries.
 The packing of salmon is a business subject to great fluc- tuations as is shown by the figures for 1929 and 1880. A decline was recorded from L. 100000 cases of red salmon in 1929 to 850,000 cases in 1880. The total pack of 1929 was valued at $41,7OO,OOO and that of 1880 was $29,900,O00 for all types of salmon. The fig ures on red salmon compare with a total pack of that type of fish with the record 2,600,- 900 in 1918, a figure abnorm- ally high. R. s. Hollingshead, Assistant Chief, Foodstuffs Di- vision, Department of Com merce, in discussing the Alaska salmon pack last week said, While the pack this yea, may even be larger than the early stages indicate, there is not the prospect of great prof. it's for the canning companies who are faced with production costs that threaten to eat up much of their returns. The companies, however, are gen. orally regarded as being we'll financed and able to stand the difficulties that have accom- panied the economic distress characterizing general con- ditions."

Alaskan Fish Can Live in Ice

Alaskan black fish are among the hardest denizens of the sea, according to Federal Gov ernment fishery experts. Some of the fish were brought 5000 miles and arrived in good con- dition recently to be put into a fresh water aquarium in Washington, D. c.
 The fish have the reputation of being able to live several months frozen in ice, and yet they stand warm water we'll. In fact they can get along without any water for short time.

CHAMBER COMMERCE
 HOLDS DINNER MEET

The Hyder Chamber of Com-
 merce held the regular month ly dinner meeting at the Silver Grill Wednesday evening, with president E. D. Haddon presid-
 ing and upward of twenty-five members and visitors present.
 As on former occasions, the session was attended by quite
 a number of Stewart residents
 who have evidenced their de- sire to cooperate with the To- cal organization by becoming members of the Hyder Chamb- | ar
 The business of the session was devoted largely to routine matters containing few items of general interest, aside from report by Ernest Blue, chair man of the International High way committee, in which he announced the completion of the Chamber of Commerce special Highway edition of the Hyder Weekly Herald. MT. Blue presented copies of the publication, which elicited much favorable comment.
 The business session was fol- lowed by a round of speech making. V. M. Blackwell, supervising engineer for the Bureau of Public Roads on the Salmon River highway inn provement project, discussed road matters; E. T. Apple whaite, president of the Stew art Board of Trade gave a most interesting and optimistic talk on the outlook for the dis trict and counseled his audit ors to avoid letting the present depressed mining conditions cause them to lose faith in the camps future. J. K. Green suggested efforts by the Cham Der of Commerce to secure gov ernment action on the Salmon River flood protection project as an unemployment relief measure; P. s. Jack, secretary of the Stewart Board of Trade, poke in his characteristic hu- morous vein and presented a challenge for soft ball game between teams representing the Stewart Board of Trade and Hyder Chamber of Com- merce on Labor Day. The chal- lenge was accepted and Holger Johnson was named to arrange for the organization of the local team.
 MT. J. A. Hall also spoke in an optimistic vein regarding the international highway and local outlook.
 The five-course dinner serv- ed by the Silver Grill was ex- excellent and keenly enjoyed.

OFFERS NEW SILVER
 STERILIZATION PLAN


 Remington-Rand company of New York, has suggested to President Hoover a revolution ary plan for international sill yer stabilization through the medium of Americas war debts.
 With silver at one of its low est ebbs in history-hovering around 27 cents an ounce Rand attributes most of the present world depression to this cause.
 All important nations, except China, he points out, are on a gold standard, but while they attempt to operate on that standard the United States holds most of the actual gold in the world. As result, he contends, the currency of these countries is in reality backed mainly by silver, and currency values are consequently at the mercy of silver fluctuations.
 The British policy in India, where the silver standard is greatly aggravating the inter- national silver crisis by a con- tinuous depression of the price of silver, and this is continually depressing, in turn, the situation in other countries-particular- ly Germany-where silver has become the actual monetary basis because of lack of gold. Lower silver prices mean low CT money values, and lower money values mean increased depression, he says.
 The German economic de- pression followed almost di- rectly the collapse of silver from 1926 to 1881, he pointed out, and Germany finds her self unable to pay war debts in gold, as she has not suffic- tent gold on hand to even stabilize her own currency sys- tenn.
 With stabilization of silver absolutely essential, Rand sug- gested the appointment of a commission to decide upon a fair stabilization price, prob ably 5312 cents per ounce.
 Thereupon France, Great Britain and Italy would agree to accept at least one-half of their debt payments in silver at this rate, the United States agreeing to accept the silver from them, in turn, in payment of their debt to this country. At the 5312-cent stabiliZation lev el, international debt payments would thus be dissolved, the silver eventually coming to this country where it can be con- sumed, he says, in subsidiary coinage under the present sys- tenn.
 The United State would also offer the silver on the open market for 54 cents per ounce, creating an ideal situation in the world market of 5312 cents bid-by the foreign nations and 54 cents asked-by the United States.
 Under this system, he points out, Germany would purchase silver in the open market for one-half of her debt payments to Italy, France and Great Brit ain, and these countries would purchase in the open market enough additional silver to finish out their payments to the United States.

FARM BUREAU TAKES UP TAX
MATTERS WITH SUPERVISORS

A joint committee representing the
Imperial County Farm bureau and
Taxpayers league met with the
board of supervisors Monday to dis
cuss the tax rate. The committee
requested the elimination of the 4oc
road tax. pointing out that this item
offered the greatest possibilities in
tax reduction. They read the fol-
lowing statement in support of their
position.
The California budget act Of
1927 provides that the county heads
of departments and institutions file
with the auditor a detailed estimate
of revenues and expenditures for
the coming year on or before july
10, the auditor to file with the clerk
a tabulation of these estimates on or
before July 30. the printing of the

hearing by the board of SUPERVISORS
on or before August 20. the adop-
ton of the budget on or before

Urate not later than Septemer |.
In other words this law recognizes
the right of the citizen &c have a
voice in the determination OF gov
ernmental expenditures by providing
him a seat at the council table
This year The budget was printed
and made available for the first
time. Only a few citizens have in
terested themselves in it, This Is
no doubt due to the fact that, While
they are vaguely aware of the pro-
cedure established by this law, most
taxpayers are not alert to the OPP
portunity afforded by it ana are
not on adequate notice as to the
dates when they are permitted to
study the budget AS matter of
fact ten days is limited period in
