Tonkin Loses Lindeborg Suit.

Vancouver press reports an- nounce the dismissal by MT. Justice D. A. Mcdonald in the provincial supreme court of the $15,000 suit brought by w. R. Tonkin against the estate of the late Daniel Lindeborg, early day settler of this district and founder of Hyder.
 Tonkin, whose local mining activities have made him wide ly known in Canadian mining circles, claimed in the suit a quarter interest in the proceeds of the sale of the Riverside mining property, six miles north of Hyder. The property was sold by Lindeborg some years ago for S60,000.
 Refuting the Tcnkin claims, representatives of the Linde- borg estate alleged that Tonkin had signed a release of any in- terests in the property, the re- ports said.

Delegate Will Assist
 Local River Proposal

In a reply to the telegram forwarded this week by the Hyder Chamber of Commerce protesting against the local CO., operation clause in the War Departments Salmon ri V e r flood control proposal, Alaska delegate to Congress James Wickersham has promised his aid toward securing the delet- ion of the objectionable provis- ion in the following message re- ceived Friday:
 Hyder Chamber of
 Commerce.
 ..Can fully appreciate the un- fortunate position that people of Hyder would be placed in if they were required to pay part of the dyke improvement, as provided in the War Depart ment report and will try to have that requirement deleted, but can get nowhere until the report is printed, which has not yet been done"

Canadian Dollar Stronger

The Canadian dollar is slow ly regaining strength and was quoted at 9014 on the New York foreign exchange market last Monday. This is the high est point reached by the dollar since h e exchange value slumped so drastically follow ing the collapse of the British pound sterling several months ago. Recent steady upward movements of the dollar value indicate that it may not be long before it is once more at or very near par value as an exchange medium, although it is report ed that Canada, for trade reas- ons, is in no wise loa+h @0

Lost Predictions of
 Last Four Years
September, 1929: Irving Fish

September, 1929: Irving Fish CT, economist: '"There may be recession in stock prices, but not anything in the nature of a crash"
 MT. Hoover, on the day fol- lowing the market crash: "The fundamental business of the country is on a firm and pros porous basis.'
 November, 1929. Arthur Bris- bane, writer: "All the really important millionaires ar e planning to continue prosper ity."
 Julius Barnes: "The factors of previous depressions are ab- sent"
 Stuart Chase, economist: "We probably have three more years of prosperity ahead of us before we encounter the cyclic tailspin which has occurred ill the eleventh year of each of the great previous periods of commercial prosperity"
 Alexander Legge, U. s. Farm Board: "It looks as if industry would have to start scrapping around to get employees, in- stead of laying off anybody"
 December, 1929. Julius H. Barnes: "A return of the cred it market and business activity will perhaps be slow during the first half of the coming year, but conditions will obtain their regular equanimity be- fore the year is out"
 Secretary Mellon: T see noth- ing in the present situation that is either menacing or war rants pessimism. During the winter months there may be some slackness or unemploy- ment, but hardly more than at this season of the year. I have every confidence that there will be a revival of activity in the spring and that during the coming year the country will make steady progress"

ment dock approach, costing approximately a quarter mill ion dollars. In such event, he said, the government would be by long odds the heaviest loser.
 It was therefore decided to ask for the deletion of the CO., operative provisions of the pro- gram and that due credit be given the community for the large expenditures already made.
 MT. Sandford expressed the view that if Congress is made to fully realize the true situa- tion and also the imperative need for additional protection, owing to the continual de- struction by the river of exist ing protective works, it was not unreasonable to expect that the cooperative demand would be eliminated.
 Other matters of general in terest presented to the meet ing included a report by chair man N. M. Traversy of the fire protection committee and q re- port by Secretary Cross rela- tive to the activities of the Washington Bicentennial cele- bration committee. MT. Tray ersy reported that the chemic- al fire engine has been placed on specially devised runners for winter use and during cold weather an electric heater is employed to keep the chemical tank warm and in readiness for instant use night or day. The apparatus is in the best shape possible to obtain, MT. Traver- sy said,. He also outlined his efforts to provide a fire alarm system that could be heard in all parts of town and said he is now working on a con- pressed air whistle which he hopes will prove success. Mr. Cross reported that MT. Blue, chairman of the celebrat- ion committee, had issued a re- quest to all local organizations to meet and decide upon a date and arrangements for the prop CT observance of the nation wide celebration.
 Chairman E.D Haddon of the | finance committee also report ed that his committee had de- cided to hold a whist drive and dance in Pioneer Hall on April 9 to help the Chamber finan- ces, which are decidedly low at present. s. P. Fitzgerald, head ! ing special committee, under i! Continued on Page 3

CHAMBER WORKING
 ON Il OOD PROJECT

Der of Commerce GO secure re- lease from the cooperation pro- visions of the War Department proposals for protecting Hyder from the flood encroachments of Salmon River formed the principal topic of discussion at the monthly dinner meeting of the Chamber, held in Pioneer Hall Wednesday evening. The gathering was the largest in a long period, nearly thirty mem- bers and visitors being seated around the board.
 A report by Chas F. Sand ford, chairman of the board of directors, disclosed that the board had forwarded to James Wickersham, Alaska delegate to Congress, a telegram pro- testing against the cooperative proviso of the U. s. Engineers report and outlining the local viewpoint and situation as fol- lows:
 James Wickersham,
 Alaska Delegate,
 Washington, D. C.,
 Due to critical depreciation of silver industry, our only re- source, combined with low status of Territorial finances, We are unable to meet cooper ative provisions of War Depart ment dyke project. At present it is taxing citizens to provide for urgent local unemploy- ment. We feel that large past expenditures by local interests, as indicated in department re- port, should be credited to the community. Can you not have clause deleted? Citizens and Territory already expended ap- approximately half as much as proposed cost.
 While we are helpless, at the same time river situation is critical and if nothing is done speedily the costly work of the past will be carried away and lost, entailing probable heavy damage to large section of the government highway and dock approach and threatening dis aster to the town in severe high water periods.
 Hyder Chamber of Commerce
 MT. Sandford, in outlining the views of the board, said it was the unanimous opinion that it would be impossible to raise Hyder's contribution to the $53,O00 flood protection pro- gram proposed by the War De- partment engineers and recom- mended to Congress; that, ow- ing to the low state of Territor- ial revenues at present, little or no help could be expected from the Territory and in no event could such assistance be obtained before the next meet ing of the legislature in March, 1883. Furthermore, it was the view of the board that inas- much as local interests and the Territory have already contrib uaed $25,000 toward protect ing the town from being washed away during the past ten years, and as this amount represented near-y 50 per cent of the total cost of the proposed War Department program, the community could not be justly called upon to contribute fur ther, especially as the river en- croachments threatened seri- ous damage or destruction to government improvem e n t s, represented by the Salmon River Highway and govern

PACK in New York, the tumult and the

louder and more frantic. Men of wealth and
position were grasping desperately at the
fugitive remnants of their fortunes. Every
body seemed to be trying to buy gold before its
price went entirely out Of sight and reach.
Speyers was within the limits where Fisk
had ordered him to buy all he could get, and
he stood firm. dozen resuscitated bears
rushed upon him. Offering to sen. and he
bought all they offered.
Then the final blow was struck; the news
got out-"Ihe Treasury's selling!"
In Is minutes the gold fell almost 80 points.
The corner was broken, smashed fiat. Fisk
and Gould fled for their lives, guarded by
armed thugs.

operations and were expecting q handsome
share in the loot.
The question they had to answer was, Does
this crisis warrant the Treasurys interference
in the struggle between the bulls and pears
of Wall Street,"
They seem to have decided that such inter-
ference would be justified and desirable only
if the events Of tomorrow should indicate that
the price of gold being forced to a height
which meant Nationwide disaster. Tonight
they would do nothing. Tomorrow they would
keep close to the telegraph.
At $50 Friday morning-"Black Friday
members swarmed into the gold exchange.
Sales could not begin till 10 o'clock; but every
body hoped to get some advance information

Nobody knew better than Fisk did that
every fluctuation Of point in the selling price
Of gold meant gains and losses of millions,
meant the paralysis of business from New York
to San Francisco, and bankruptcies by the
score. Everybody in the gold room was
desperately aware Of this obvious fact when
Fisks broker, Speyers began to lombard them
with offers to buy at higher and still higher
prices.
"Forty-six for million!' he yelled His
hearers were dazed and for the moment silent.
Steadily he ran the price up to 148. with now
and then a desperate furry of selling which
vainly tried to stem the upward rush.
Then the started that stock
broker was about to shoot Speyers, since moth
ing else could stop him. While he was rushing
over to the stock exchange to defy his would-be
assassin there, other bulls damned gold up to

boosted that he would presently put gold up
to the 200 mark.
GO and bid gold up to $780," he shouted at
Speyers Take all you can get at 100. But
you will be too late, for have given orders to
other brokers already to buy at 160."
Shortly after II o'clock. on Friday morning,
the President and Secretary of the Treasury
held highly important conference. The
worst that they had feared seemed to be
happening on the gold exchange.
Apparently the moment had come when
they must act Shortly before noon the fateful
order directing the sale of four millions of
Treasury gold was committed to the telegraph
wires.

 This was Gov. Roosevelt's first speech on the Prohibition issue since he was nominated as his party's Presidential candidate, and his second road speech of the cam paign.
