Republican Politics
 Sinmering Along

Austin E. Lathrop, Republican National Committeeman for Alaska, is expected in Juneau about the first of October to un dertake the reorganization of the Republican party and to gather up the frayed and fraz- zled ends of the various factions in an effort to once more weave them into 8 smooth, finished solid unit. From all indications, there is much to be done before Capt. Lathrop will be ready to turn the party loose at the next primary election.
 It is being stated that several Of the Juneau leaders are favor. ing the selection of Charles D. Hilles of New York for the next Republican National Committee Chairman. At present Mir. Hii- les is National Committeeman for the Republican party of the State of New York.

Hilles, who was a staunch Coolidge man, was called into consultation by Pres ident Hoover when the move to draft Coolidge to run for the of flee of president, was at it's hign point. MT. Hilles is said to be in the good graces of President Hoover and will probably be the next pilot of President Flowers campaign for reelection.

 One of the men, just before taking off at Japan said, "Jail CT Glory" and glory it must be for there is now small hope of find ing the wreckage of the plane Japan is sending ships out te the Kuriles in a search for the men and Canada is expected te search the B. c. coast. Fishing vessels have been asked to keet 9, weather-eye out for any signs of the plane.

Californian Sees
 Bright Future

Alaska was pictured as on the eve Of a new development period that bids fair to surpass any si- milar one in more than sixty years by c. A. James, assistant manager of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, foreign department. He returned from Il months Alaskan survey.
 Gold although not by far the chief resource of the territory, he said, will stimulate activity. James said the territory was in the midst of a new gold rush, :" less productive, however, than the noted one of the last cen tury.
 Recent lowering of commod- ity levels with correspondingly higher purchasing power of gold" he said, lis serving to in terest both capital and individ- ual prospectors in a renewed effort"
 Ja9cs laid many propcr' IeS which have been dormant since 1920 when commodity prices re- duced the relative value of gold, are being reopened, new discov- cries are being made over widely scattered areas, and requirement. and consolidation of claims is being carried on by large finan- cial groups.
 He called attention to what such development means to the Pacific Coast retail businesses. James asserted Alaska fisheries, timber and pulp, fur farming and reindeer industries all show promise of considerable eXpan- sion.

Halibut Schooner
 Destroyed by Fire

Rescued from the halibut boat volunteer which burned off Put ney Point, near Alert Bay, B. C.. two Seattle fishermen were re- covering from exhaustion and Ilight burns, at St. Georges Hospital, Alert Bay.
 They are Capt. Louis Hanken and Andrew Sather, Seattle The pair were rescued by Oliver Maj! sonville keeper and his ass st. ant, Matt Anderson, at the near by lighthouse, according to a re- port from the British Columbia provincial police.
 Hanken was at the wheel when the fire broke out. Sather was asleep below. The first warning of danger came with the backfiring of the engine. Soon after the midsection of the ves- sel was enveloped in flames. Plunging aft, Hanken aroused Sather. Together the men got a small skiff overheard and saw it smashed in the heavy sea. They then made a raft of halibut floats and pushed away from the burning vessel.
 Seeing the fire from a distance Maisonville and Anderson set out from shore in a small boat and rescued the men.
 The Volunteer left Seattle two weeks ago with a crew of five men. Three of these were left in Alaska.

Little Man Frozen
 Out Says Solon
From S.roIler's Weekly

1 1 The governments conserva-
 tion policy in Alaska is giving
 the big fellows a monopoly on
 the mineral resources of the
 Territory. There is practically no new mining development in Alaska. What production of /! gold there is, comes from old es- tablished properties. Representative William R. Eaton, just returned from Alas ka, was deeply impressed with the fact that under existing laws the little fellow, the man
 with a will to work but no capital las not much of a chance to acquire a worthwhile mining claim in Alaska.
 Eaton, accompanied by Mrs. Eaton, made the trip to Alaska as a member of group of con- gressmen and federal officials. Congressman Edward T. Taylor of Colorado, was in the party.
 Eaton, as a member of the House public lands committee, will have to handle considerable Legislation affecting Alaska. Tho he went on government business, Eaton paid his own expenses on the four-weeks' trip.
 T failed to find on the trip any support of the Garfield field commissions report with respect to public lands," Eaton said. This is the report that re- comments that the government turn over public domain to the states, but reserves the mineral and oil rights.
 Numerous hearings I attend ed in Alaska clearly brought out what the Alaskans want is legiS- lation to place the Territory, So far as the acquisition of mining claims is concerned, under the same laws as the forty eight states.
 "I believe the next Congress will act to put Alaska on that basis"
 The next Congress, Eaton be- Eeves, will also appropriate money for coal bunkers at Sew ard, sea terminus of the Alaska Railroad. The government is now spending a quarter of q million dollars in geological survey to find anthracite Or bi- luminous coal. Eaton said the coal now being mined in Alaska is of low-grade quality.-Denver Post.

Russia Aband0ns
 Communism

Col. Hugh L. Cooper, American hydroelectric engineer, said re- gently upon his return to New York from Russia, that Com rnunism had been abolished in that country and supplanted by a form of state capitalism.
 Cooper's firm is acting as consulting and supervising en- gineers for an 100000 horsepow- CT hydroelectric plant on the Dnieper River in the South U- kraine.
 T have been in a position to observe and speak with those in authority" Colonel Cooper said.
 And I cannot only repeat that the soviets are now operat- ing on a state capitalism basis. Furthermore, eventually the so- viets plan to swing to a modi- fled system of private capitalism
 This is not hearsay, but infor- nation fromthe powers that be
 "Col. Cooper described soviet Russia as the "only country in the world that is absolutely stable and sound" and where law and order actually exist.
