ALASKA JUNEAU EARNINGS.

An Eastern financial paper reviewing the 1881 operations of the Alaska Juneau here, says that the company probably will show earnings for last year, after deducting for depreciation interest and taxes, of between 80 and 90 cents per share, if not more, on the average amount of stock outstanding in 1881 This will compare with 58 cents per share in 1880, and shows big margin over the new dividend rate of 50 cents annually
 Alaska Juneau's earnings for 1881, even with year-end adjustments drastic as took place in 1880, hardly avoid record proportions, notwth- standing the December operating estimate was materially under December, 193O
 Monthly profit figures of the company are official estimates only They will be supplemented later by official report, fully audited The December estimate of gross operating income of $262 GOO and profit before depreciation, depletion and Federal taxes of $77,200, brought estimated gross for the year to S374O500 and operating profit to $1521 55O
 Final audited figures for 1880 showed that the year-end adjustment represented write-down from operating profit estimates of approximately 20 per cent This however was an unusually heavy year end deduction since adjustments for previous years had run only from 10 per cent to 15 per cent of estimated operating return
 While there is no official sanction for the figure, it is probable that this years adjustment will not be mora than IS per cent of the years profit compiled from the official monthly estimates, Such ad- Justment would produce 1881 net before depletion of about S1295000 equivalent to about s8 cents a share on average of 1462375 shares outstanding during the year. In 1880 the company earned a net before depletion of s831 OS5, equivalent about 58 cents share on common, and in 1929 about S1 1.025 POS. equivalent to Il cents.
 The company has engaged in profitable opera tons in respect to its stock during the past year Taking advantage of earlier market appreciation an arrangement which amounted to capital financing in excess of Sl,O0O00o, judged by market prices, was conducted, practically without outside notice. This consisted in sale the market of 54o00 shares of previously unissued stock which had been reserved against development needs and 5000 shares of treasury stock
 Subsequently, the management, taking advantage of market depreciation, has reacqured about 6O000 shares of stock, which is in it's treasury and will end the year with about 1440000 shares out standing. Upward of 10000 shares understood to have been accumulated out of current funds in the last few weeks of 1881

By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

WASHINGTON, D. C., March A. For leadership in the struggle at home and abroad against the forces of economic diversity, Presidens Hoover has commandeered the ser. vices of two of the nations "eldey statesmen"
 One is a banker turning diplomat and the other is a diplomat re turned to banking. Andrew Mellon the 76-year-old conservative east, erner. leaves one of the world biggest banking jobs to take the key ambassadorial post at London where the critical problem of wal debt adjustment presses for solu. tion.
 And the man he replaces is the brusque 66-year-old Charles Gate Dawes who has been called back rom his diplomatic work to fighl m the home trenches for business revival as head of the Reconst1uc. ton Finance corporation.

 Mellon goes from the cuStpdtasl. ship of the Treasury to the sGdifi of St. James at a time when Presi dent Hoover says economic and other critical international prob l<ms demand wise solution, in the interest of the United States.
 Melons long leadership in the governments fiscal problems and his recent European experiences il the delicate negotiation of the Hoo. yer moratorium are regarded as peculiarly fitting him for his new position.
 Abroad last summer either by chance or design when the complex questions surrounding the defer ment of separations payments were being thrashed out, his paftieipa- tion in the discussion was apprais- cd both by the Administration and by statesmen of Europe as most helpful"
 Mellon already is widely known and esteemed in official circles in England and the continent. In ad- dition to a long standing reputa- ton abroad as an American finan- cial leader, he has widened his &C., quaintanceship by frequent trips to Europe, spending many months at a time in France and England
 In the European mind he typi- fies-probably more so than any other of our envoys of recent years

NO SIGN OF HEATING.

The anti-Republican trend of thought among the nations voters that was so strongly evident in the Congressional State and municipal elections last November, and special Congressional elections since then has apparently not abated greatly. This seems to be the outstanding conclusion to be drawn from the recent mayoralty election in Cleveland, Ohio Ordinarily that city is Republican by wide mar gin This is indicated by the fact that for IT prior to the latest election, the city's control has been in the hands of the Republican organization. In the recent election, the Republican candidate was conceded to have the strongest personality and he had been one of the citys managers. The Republi- can Party organization was as efficiently organized as that of the Democrats and conducted just as energetic campaign The sentiment to turn em out to be the way the voters view the present party in power. That's the most reasonable inter- pretation of the Cleveland episode

The Brown Bear.
Seattle Times.l

The New York Geological Society, the American Society of Mammalogsts and many individual sports men and naturalsts urging Congress to set aside Admiralty and Chchagof Islands as sanctuaries for the grizzly and the great brown bears of Alaska The fear is expressed that the largest of the worlds lcarnivora threatened with extinction, and that unless protective measures taken they will soon be as scarce as the buffalo.
 Chchagof and Admiralty Islands are situated at the gateway to Alaska and in many respects are well suited for the purpose of providing sanctuaries for the great bears Admiralty Island for instance has dense fringe of timber, undergrowh and devil club, which acts as barrier from to 10 miles in width. The average hunter does not care to pene- trate this forbiddng wilderness in pursuit sport and for that reason the bears have thrived It is eonservatvey estimated that no fewer than 5000 brown and grizzly bears are on Admiralty Island which number probably is equal to half the bear population of Alaska.
 There is some divergence of opinion concerning the great bears in Alaska Settlers on Kodiak Island, who going into the business of stock raising invegh against the bears menace to their industry. It due largely to their repre- sentations that the law giving some measure of protection to the creatures repealed two years ago The nature lovers and the conservatonists would be satisfied to let the Kodiak Islanders de- stroy the bears if sanctuaries provided on the islands Juneau.
 John M Holzworth Chairman of the Committee on Protection and Preservation of Alaska Brown and Grizzly Bears, says these animals just like So many big Saint Bernard dogS-alert, intelligent dig nified and courageous" As proof he has photo- graphed many at distance of few feet Others familiar with the huge bears hold different opin- ion of their nature. While it is conceded that they are dignified and courageous many contend they are dangerous a box of dynamite However here in Washington we get along peaceably with the lesser species, so that it should be easy for the harder Alaskans to jog along in pleasant compan- ionshp with the grizzly and the brown bears.

SOLUTION OF
 NUGGET BRIDGE
 PROBLEM NO. 1O

This freak problem which we cop jed from the Washington O. e. Post cleyerly illustrates the art of { discard. A very fine solution was promptly sent in by MT. Frank Foster, Jr.. for which we award the gentleman one of our new "Easi- bid'' decks of Cards as soon as the new stock arrives. We have only one deck left, which we are saving to show as a sample until then. This deck of cards makes the new bidding and trick values easy for the beginner as, if card has any value the same is printed thereon, and one has only to add them up to know if he has a bid. Those ladies who are trying to break friend husband of bidding Auction while everybody else is bidding Gull bertson, should provide him with one of these and the old dog will learn the new tricks right away. The price of One Dollar is so low we apologize for mentioning it.
 To get back to our Bridge Prob lem, you will note that six trumps are divided equally between two hands, a distribution that rarely occurs in this number but often in a smaller number. But South can make provision for it by dis carding his one losing trick. the deuce of Hearts, instead of trump ing Vests Diamond lead. South's hand is now a show down for the rest of the tricks, whereas if he had trumped the opening Diamond lead he would have captured only eight instead of twelve tricks. We have bidding problem for the next that will perk up the students of the 1882 Bridge game.

SEATTLE MISSES THE POINT.

In recent issue, the Seattle Times editorially discusses the Holzworth movement for setting aside Admiralty and Chchagof Islands as sanctuaries for the brown bear Its article appears in an adjoining column While it does not directly advocate that MT Hozworth's idea be adopted it concludes point less dissertation with this assertion:
 While it is conceded that they (the bears)
 are dignified and courageous many contend
 they are as dangerous box of dynamite.
 However, here in Washington get along
 peaeeably with the lesser species that it
 should be easy for the harder Alaskans to
 log along in pleasant companionshp with
 the grizzly and brown bears.
 The Times-even though it speaks facetiousy-- has missed the point in the whole controversy. It isn't a question of hardness of Aaskans or Of them getting along with the great big bears" Modestly we admit that Alaskans are harder than most "Staters They have to be, not in order to get along with the bears. but to get along despite the ridiculous propaganda broadcast by of the self appointed and sef-proclamed savors of the brutes. The whole issue hinges on the question: Shall Alaskans stand idly by and permit few selfish individuals stampede easily alarmed nature lovers into tying up vast of forest lands already in the first stages of development the specous pre- text that the brown bears threatened with ex- tincton when in fact there is not the remotest danger of such occurrence?"
 The Juneau Chamber Of Commerce recently we'll stated the Alaskan viewpoint. IL reiterated Alaskas sympathy with the demand that protection be given bears to the end that they may continue to exist entity in the animal kingdom It cited unanswerabe proof that such protection is had and will continue to be afforded It vigorously upheld Alaska's right integral part Of the United States to develop it's natural resources in order that it may take it's proper place in the nations ranks of self-sustaining conmonwealths. This is not incompatible with the preservation of the bear race But if it were, is there any human who would argue that the safety of the bear must before the welfare of the Territory itself?

Pointing out that a buyer conceiv-
ably could lose the article purchased,
together with all money paid on it, and
still be required to pay more, Prof Bur-

GENEVA, March 10 GN.S.)
A strongly worded resolution call.
ing for settlement of the "entire
conflict" between China and
Japan was completed by the
drafting committee of the League
Of Nations assembly today.
The resolution tacitly includes
Manchuria as we'll as Shanghai in
the scope of the settlement nego.
tiationS, ignoring Japan's oft
repeated contention that the two
situations are not related and
therefore cannot be considered
simultaneously.
Echoing the stand of United
States Secretary of State Henry
L. Stimson, the resolution provides
for nonrecognition of any terri.
torial or political gains achieved
by force.
AS a last resort, the resolution
provides for submission of the en-.
tire dispute to the Permanent
Court of International Justice at
The Hague.
According to the resolution, a
permanent commission will be ap-
pointed to settle the conflict.
This committee will consist of
the IL members of the League of
Nations council, excluding China
and Japan; M. Paul Hymans, for
eign minister of Belgium and
president of the League assembly,
and six additional delegates.
