Frank Blasher came down from Texas Creek Thursday afternoon and reported about 8 feet of snow still on the creek. This is an usually small amount for this period of the season. Quite a number of slides are visible along the new Texas highway but no considerable damage has been done so far as can be seen. Frank has been engaged in putting the finishing touches on his new two-story camp building at Emerald Lake.

Dick Olson, former local mine blacksmith, who left re- gently for Russia to become mine blacksmith instructor for the Soviet government, in a let ter to c. N. Crone from New York City, said he expected to leave there March Is enroute to Moscow. The agents of the Soviet government in New York treated him fine, pro- viding lodging and board at a first class hotel during his stay and otherwise showed him every courtesy. The Soviet agency, he said, occupied all of ten floors in one of the big buildings and appeared to be doing a and-office business.

CLAIMED HOOVER ID
 DODGE SILVER ISSUE

nat FfeSlueHI I1OONeF IS likely to dismiss without action the suggestion for an internat- ional conference on the silver situation, suggested in the Pit man resolution, passed recent ly by the Senate, is the inter- esting information contained in a Washington press report of recent date.
 As will be recalled by Her aid readers, the Pittman resG. lution, which was based upon a long series of Investigations and numerous hearings on the silver question by a sub-com- mittee of the Senate foreign relations committee, urged the president to call an intcrna- tional conference of the ma or nations in an effort to find some solution of the world silver situation.
 Although the silver situation is now almost universally eo' ceded to be one of the prime causes of the great world trade depression the report says MT. Hoover may take no ac- tion on the conference sug- gestion because of a view held in some undesignated quarters that the calling of such a con ference would open what may be, to quote from the report l: "a Pandora's box of interna. tional problems, including the British policy in India"
 However" the report con. tinues, if he decides a con- ference is feasible, he may linn. it the agenda to prevent it from being an international af- front to some of the nations involved"
 As indicated above, the re. port does not state who the parties are who see in the call ing of silver conference, such direful possibilities of in- ternational trouble as the re- port suggests.
 Senator Fittman and numer- ous others who should know whereof they speak have re- peatedly charged that the Brit ish policy toward India and her action in dumping large amounts of Indian silver on the market, in an attempt to place India's monetary system on 8 gold basis, are largely respon sible for the worldwide sil, yer depreciation, which has brought deprivation and sui fering and misery to uncounted millions of the worlds peoples, including many of our own. President Hoover himself, in public speeches, has attributed some of the business depres- sion in this country to the fall in silver, but is neverthless disinclined to do anything about it owing to a prospect of possibly treading on some bOdy's toes.

GOLD PROBLEM IS
 ALSO VERY SERIOUS

WOflQ IS dgSTdVdleu Dy tHe equally serious gold situation, according to a report to the senate foreign relations com- mittee, which says gold stand ard governments are eXper- fencing great difficulty in ob- taining gold to meet their bud gets and pay their obligations.
 "Silver is more than com modity with more than half of the people of the world, !" the report continues. Tt is more than a commodity with all the countries of the world except six or seven. In fact, with the exception of those countries that have both es- tablished the gold standard and have the gold to back such standard, silver always has been and is now money. the on., ly measure of wealth, and the only monetary instrument of trade and commerce.
 "The moving cause for the great and abnormal depros- sion in the price of silver still exists and threatens a further ] and unlimited depression" the report says.
 The same silver crisis pre- vailing in China also exists il Mexico, South America, Ind; !. Asia and all other silver using countries, the report sa s. They have little or no gold and their purchasing power, like l that of the people of China, has been reduced one-half, their credit has been destroy ed, trade restrained and their utter ruin threatened. A few of the governments of the peoples mentioned are on a gold or semi-gold basis, but of these governments none Gp- pear to have anywhere near an adequate gold reserve, while the rest of them either have no gold reserve or such reserve is utterly deficient. i The report points out that in November, 1880, the total gold holdings of the central banks and governments in 45 countries was $10,909,000,000. Of this amount the Unitad States held S4,22O,0O0,O00, France held $2,037,0OO,OO0, England had $767,0O0,00C, Germany $519,OO0,OO0, the Argentine S417,000,O00, and Japan $4O9,0OO,OOO, India in the same month had $128,- 000,000, exactly the estimated gold holdings of that country in November 1929. This is the present basis of the proposed gold standard for India with it's large area, great trade and 300,000,000 of people. During that same interval the holding of the United States increaS ed by $22O,OO0,O00, while the gold holdings of France in- creased from $1,600,000,00O to S2,O37,O0O,O0O.
 The report concludes with the following significant state ment:
 The silver problem is aggra- vated by the equally seriou; gold situation. Gold standard governments are experiencing great difficulty in obtaining gold to meet their budgets anC pay their obligations. People in the gold standard countrie: are competing with each other in the sale of their products to obtain gold with which tt

PETE WILSON
 DIES SUDDENLY

J Company saw mill and one of the camps best known char acters, passed away suddenly in the Ideal Cafe building last Saturdal evening as result of heart disease.
 The deceased, who was slightly under 60 years of age. had not been in the best of health for some time but did not become actually ill until a few minutes before his din- ner. Shortlyy before going to the Ideal for dinner, he con- l plained to his friends of |. pain in the back of his neck, but refused suggestion to see physician. While sitting in the cafe, he complained of ill., ness to proprietor Max Behr- man, who suggested that he g. upstairs and lie down. To this he acceded but refused to have a doctor called. Ralph Young visited the room a few minutes later and found the deceased had left the bed and was sit ing in a chair breathing ster- torously and apparently un- able to speak. Dr. Whillans was summoned from Stewart immediately by telephone but MT. Wilson sank rapidly and expired within a few minutes, in spite of efforts made to re- suscitate him by Messrs Young and Behrman. When Dr. Whil- lans arrived few minutes lat CT, life was entirely extinct. Following an examination of the remains, Dr. Williams an- nounced that death was due primarily to chronic myocar- ditis, a form of heart disease with arteriosclerosis as a con tributing factor.
 MT. Wilson was a native of Solon, Maine, and is survived by several brothers and a sis ter, who reside in various part of the States. He was an old timer in the North, having r. sided in Alaska and the Yukon for 25 years or more. He was a resident of Dawson in the early days and resided in var- ious Alaska camps between Dewson and Nome at various times. He became a resident of Hyder shortly after the dis covery of the Premier mine and, save for a few vacation trips to the States, lived here continuously until his demise. During the course of his res idence he became associated in the ownership of the Hyder Lumber Company plant with William Gray, present owner, and Robert Andrews, but lat CT sold his interest to MT. Gray several years ago and took a position as the company en- gineer; which he still held. During his residence here he became interested in the we'll known Ninety-siX group of mining claims on Mineral Hill. a short distance north of Fly der, and held a third intere-t in the property at the time of his death.

Tech Wins Easily
Tech had little trouble in de-
feating the Wilson teachers. With
his regulars playing during the
first and last periods, Coach
Boyd's team was never in danger,
in fact it looked about as classy
as a scholastic five could look
for so early in the season. Russell
and Thomas were high scorers,
with 10 points apiece, while
Wheeler totaled 8 points to come
in for some recognition. Sum-
mers was best for the Teachers.
Bernie Lieb was the star in
Eastern's victory over the C. u.

merit which were with the
opposition in every game of a
most difficult schedule.
Outplayed Only Twice
In retrospect, that Navy won a
single 'garne is a tribute to the
1881 Middle grid squad. However,
to find that Navy has actually
been outplayed only twice
throughout the entire season,
lends emphasis to this writer's
contention that the 1881 Navy
team deserves it's reputation as
the wonder team of modern foot
ball.
Unity of thought, action and
purpose, when combined with a
rare and superb courage, will
accomplish football miracles.
Navy's 1881. grid squad proves it.
If ever a varsity football group
deserved the praise, admiration
and respect of followers of the
game, the 1881 Annapolis team
does.
If ever a group Of athletic
officers and coaches deserved
recognition and plaudits for their
work. Navy's group of officers
and coaches deserves them.
Despite defeats, Navy's 1881
eleven deserves a spot in the
heart Of each person who loves
football. Those midshipmen who
were members of rip" Miller's
squad this season have given the
world an example of that cour-
age ands that tenacity of purpose
