COSTLY FIRE IN
 FOREST TOWNSHIP

The spacious and we'll ap- pointed home of John Hovland in the Forest townsite was to- tally destroyed late Saturday evening by one of the costliest fire outbreaks occurring in the Hyder district since the big fire of June 28,1928.
 MT. Hovland, whose family is Outside at present, was at- tending the Friendship Club dance when the blaze started and is totally unable to account for it's origin. The fire was dis covered by passers by few minutes before midnight.
 The men-folks at the dance turned out enmasse to fight the blaze immediately after the alarm was given, but the in- terior of the structure W S found a mass of flame n d little could be done, save t 0 protect adjoining property. A bucket line was hastily form ed and the crowd of fire fight CTS battled heroically against intense heat for more than an hour in an effort to check the flames. MT. Hovland's assay office, situated close to the res idence and containing valuable equipment, was saved, as was also a Il adjoining chicke'l house, but the dwelling house was totally destroyed with all its contents. The origin of the fire is made doubly mysterious by the fact that MT. Hovland had made the building as near ly fire-proof as possible at the time of it's construction about g years ago. Prior to leaving for the dance MT. Hovland had built wood fire in the heating stove but does not consider there was enough fuel in the stove at the time he left to overheat the stove or pipes or otherwise endanger the build ing.
 In addition to the building and furnishings, the loss in- cluded numerous valuable pos sessions of the Hovland family which cannot be replaced. MT. Hovland places the total prop erty loss at close to $10,000, which is only partially covered by insurance.

.B.C. S|LVER-PREM|ER
 AGREEMENT REMOTE

The annual report of the Se- lukwe Gold Mining a Il d Fi- nance Company for the year ending March 31, indicates that there is scant hope for a working agreement between Selukwe and Premier Gold Mining Company relative t O operation of the B. c. Silver property.
 A copy of the Selukwe re- port received from London this week quotes the recent annual report of Premier, to the effect that some further correspond ence had passed between the two companies regarding B. c. Silver operation, but that mo basis acceptable to the Seluk- We Gold Mining and Finance Go. Ltd, has been found that would at the same time be beneficial to Premier" and adds as follows:
 :" On receipt of the report, (of Premier) the Seluwke dir ectors again intimated to MT. H. A. Guess, * * ..* .-* * their readiness to en- certain proposals for an anal gamation of interests under the auspices and management of the Premier Go.
 Whether any definite propos- als will be brought forward by either side in these long drawn out negotiations remains to be seen."
 The Seluwke statement both in wording and tone leaves no other inference than that the company is n 0 t inclined to make a Il y particular effort toward reaching an agreement with Premier, which is most unfortunate for all interested, IS the valuable B. c. Silver property, with it's large proven ore resources, is now idle and unprofitable.
 The Selukwe report states that advances to B. c. Silver have amounted to 9188,311, or slightly more than $937,000 on the basis of sterling value last year.

TRANSFER ],
 ALASKA ROAD WORK

The Hyder Chamber of Com merce has forwarded to Dele gate Wickersham a telegram of protest against the proposed transfer of the road construct ion activities of the Alaska Road Commission to the Inter for Department, and requesting him to resist passage of such an enactment on the score that it will probably mean the aban- donment of a large part of the present Interior Alaska road system, with resultant detri- ment to Territorial develop ment.
 The message also endorses a territory-wide protest byCham- bers of Commerce throughout Alaska submitted to the Dele-l gate recently by the Territorial Chamber of Commerce and in which it is declared that the proposed transfer would not result in economy to the Feder- al government and would cause partial or total abandonment of the splendid Alaska road system maintained by the Conn mission.
 The proposal to make the transfer is said to emanate from the Interior Department and appears to have as an un- deriving object the elimination of the famous Richardson Highway as a traffic bearer in opposition to the Alaska Rail- road, which is under the con- trol of the Interior Depart ment. Increased traffic charg- es on the railroad are said to have forced much traffic to the Highway that would go to the railroad under more moderate schedules, with resultant loss to the railroad.
 A move to transfer the High way from the control of the Alaska Road Commission to the Interior Department was made recently when an execu- tive order with that object in view was made by President Hoover. It was found, howev- CT, that the transfer could not be legally made in this manner and the order, was withdrawn.
 The view is held that transfer of the Commission activities would result in the loss of fed eral road appropriations for most if not all of Interior Alas ka. This would leave the Terr- itory to bear alone the great cost of maintaining some, 2,000 miles of highway. As the Terr- itorial revenues are inadequate to bear such a burden, most of the roads would have to be abandoned and would soon be claimed by the wilderness.
 Fear is also felt that abolit- ion of the Commission would also cause the Territory to lose it's status as an independent Rivers and Harbors district, with resultant detriment to riv- CT and harbor improvement projects. The local district was created in 1921 and the president of the Alaska Road Commission also acts as district engineer in connection with riv-

MISSIONARIES

The Adventist Foreign Mission
Board will accept the report of
the Laymen's Foreign Missions
Inquiry made Monday in New
York, it was announced yester-
day with the return of Elders
C. K. Meyers and Ernst Kotz,
mission heads.
They agree also with the sec
ton that describes a large num-
ber of missionaries as back
ward in their education, lacking
in imagination, limited n capacity,
and very narrow in their out
look"
Mr.. Kotz said:
"We have been hopelessIy
handicapped by our prOfes-
siOnalism. 1t is an absurdity
for mission societies to erect
imposing churches in interior
sections of Oriental lands
where the people are famine
ridden and pOverty-Stricken and
live in earthen houses. It is
also unwiSe for the missionary
to emphasize his fOreignneSs."
The reports of these delegates
will be broadcast to Adventist
missionaries throughout the
world, he said.

Charges that Montgomery
county authorities have failed to
construct their half of the traf-
fic circle at Western and Massa-
chuSetts Avenues will be laid
before the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
This was revealed by Capt. E.
N. Chisolm, jr., chairman of the
co-ordinating committee.
The District, which agreed to
construct half of the traffic cir
Gle, has done so, Major H. C.
Whitehurst, District highway en-
gineer, reported to the co-ordinat-
ing committee yesterday. Save
for construction of a narrow
strip of concrete roadway, the
Maryland engineers, he charged,
have failed to carry out their
share.
The original agreement was
made more than a year ago
through Irving C. Root, chairman
of the Maryland Park and Plan,
ming Commission, Captain CHS
olm said. Mr.. Root probably
will be present at the local com.
missions meeting December 16
