in restoring confidence in sterling on

The papers, the magazines and many periodicals constantly carrying articles to the effect that the worlds gold supply is gradually diminishing and that the year 194O will such supply of the yellow metal as to seriously affect the inherent value upon which all money is more less predicated.
 Were it not for the fact that such news is bad news for the world in general the inhabitants of Ko dak Island would experience feeling of elation Since the days when the wandering Russians first cast foot upon the green isle of Kodiak it has been certain that great and valuable quantities of placer gold exist and may be found and recovered at the south end of the island. sal4
 Red River for many years has been known as most likely spot for the taking of placer gold and the limited and somewhat crcumscribed returns from the mining activities heretofore engaged in have been ow- ing to the dearth of prospectors and to the crude and unscientfc methods adopted in the recovering of the gold. *,
 Many skilled mining men have advanced the theory that the gold daily. washed up the beaches by the tides originally from quartz deposit in the immediate vicinity of Red River and that this deposit represents value of untold wealth.
 What is now needed is modern machinery and energetic miners This combination should unquestion ably unearth sufficient gold to again stabilize the world market and silence for all time the many pes sinists who, in the year 1940, Old Man Gold seek ing the of solitude visited only by renorse pess mism and depression.

 When the Atlantic Fleet made its tour of the world in 1908 the United States government used it to sig nay honor Brother Joseph because of his service to the country and humanitarian. In July the fleet, in command of Admiral Charles s. Sperry, made trip from Honolulu harbor and paraded with flying colors before the leper colony.
 Although he served the coloney for 45 years, the aged humanitarian by scrupuous and cleanliness managed to escape the dread disease In letter few years ago to The Rev. Joseph Hanz of Beot he wrote:
