years ago operated a fox ranch on the sland, brought with him on his infrequent trips to Valdez more or less gold, but he was reticent as to it's source. It is said, also, that the early settlers of the Prince William Sound country knew of of gold there, but it's isolated position rendered visits to the island hazardous un- dertaking.
 During the month Nor. McNeil spent on the lonely island he pros peeted it thoroughly, and found that not all of benches yielded gold. Those which did carried also ruby sand, and where this was missing there was no gold. Practically all of the gold was found on beaches at the base of pre- cipitous conglomerate cliffs on the south side of the island, indicating that the gold has it's origin in the rocks and is being slowly ground out by the action of the waves. A test of the rock, however, shows that the gold content is too small to permit of profitable mining and milling.
 The two ounces of the precious metal secured by MT. McNeil was taken entirely by banning, and he found that the yield was heaviest during a strm. What results he might have had with more efficient appli- ances is problematical, but it ap- peared that the sands might be quickly worked out, leaving the sands barren until the mighty mill of na- ture ground another grist.
 Just how many foxes remained on the island was difficult to estimate, but Mr. McNeil thought there was in the neighborhood of thirty Other life on the island consisted of birds, and seals and sealions, these latter animals congregating in large num- bers in slough on one end of the island. The seals are the hairseal, of little value.

VALDEZ MAN FINDS GOLD
 ON MIDDLETON ISLAND
(Valdez Miner.)

There is gold on Middleton Island, and Joe McNeil has the yellow metal to prove 1.-two ounces of it that he banned from the beach sands, includ- ing one neugget that will weigh near 1y two dollars. It is not likely, how ever, that there will be a stampede to the island, for it is lonely spot, 50 miles almost due south from Hinchin- brook entrance to Prince William Sound, with no other land in sight and no company but the sea birds and the mammals ofthe deep, and few blue foxes, the remnants of a once prosperous foy ranch. Day by day the restless sea batters away at the rugged shores of the island with crashes of thunder, and at times the storm winds shriek and moan in eerie concert.
 MT. McNeil returned last week af- ter spending a month at the island, and despite the gold he took out of the sands of the beaches, he is not going back. His experience, however, was an interesting one and he brought back information concerning the place and the fabled golden sands that in part confirm the stories of the treasa ure of tn eisland. Mr. McNeil was not the discoverer of gold on Middle ton island, for it had been known for a number of years that somewhere on the island there was gold. Middle ton Island Smith," who a number of

of languages called Semitic, from
Shem, the ancestor of the peoples
using them. Shem was one of the
sons of Noah, whose descendants
spread from Ararat toward the East,
covering Mesopotamia, Arabia, Syria
and Babylonia. Other members of
this family of languages are Arabic,
spoken generally in northern Arabia,
the Himyaritic in the South, and the
Ethiopic in Abyssinia. To these
branches of the Semitic family must
be added the cuneiform inscriptions
on the monuments of Assyria and
Babylonia.
The Koreish dialect, in which the
Koran of Mohammed was written, is
also a member of this ancient family
of languages, out of which the light
of the world has come.
For our purpose this sketch must
suffice. Any critical examination of
these languages would require more
time and greater degree of scholar
ship than these simple messages
would warrant, if the writer were
equal to such a task.
Not a single original manuscript
remains. The flight of time, the
ruthless hand of ignorance and the
devastations of war have destroyed
many Of these valuable records of the
word of life. Yet through changing
dynasties and vanishing civilizations,
by word of mouth, as we'll as lettered
monuments and fragmentary inscrip-
lions, these mighty truths have been
gathered up by scholars and devoted
scribes and handed down to us as
our most priceless heritage from the
great past. We dare affirm with Isaiah
in his message of comfort to Gods
people, "The Word of our God shall
stand forever"

Scholars tell us that the Old Tesla
ment was written in Hebrew, with
the exception of about three-ffths of
the book of Daniel and one-third of
the book of Ezra, which was written
in Chaldee. They further point out
that the prophecy of jeremiah con-
tains a single verse in Chaldee, Chap
ter x, verse II. Hebrew was the
language of the Canaanites at the
time of Abraham's sojourn among
them, and from them he learned this
language.
Tradition informs us that the Ca
naanites referred to Abraham as
"The Hebrew" meaning the man from
the other side of the river-the Eu
pirates. Abraham's native language
was Aramaean, the vernacular of Mes
opotam;a; but he adopted the speech
of the land of his inheritance, and
that became the mother tongue of the
Israelites. The tablets from Tel ell

and the Moabites, if not the adjacent
tribes, spoke a language quite SINH
lar to Hebrew. 1t is impossible to
tell exactly how long before the adj
vent of Christ the Aramaic, in use
in his time, had become the prevail
ing tongue. Languages, like all liv
ing things, have their periods of
growth, comparative maturity, and
perfection, and then decay. Two
stages are traceable in the Hebrew;
these are generally called its golden
age and its silver age, paralleling
roughly the rise of the national power
to the Golden age of David and Sol
ONION, and the period of decline from
the Babylonian captivity till the Ian
guage ceased to be spoken.

MANY PREPARE FOR OPEN
SEASON ON LAWFUL GAME
More Than 800 Have Already
Procured Hunting Licenses

With only a few days remaining
until the opening of the hunting sea-
son, over eight hundred persons have
obtained licenses from the office of the
Clerk of the Circuit Court in Oakland,
and it is thought that many more will
obtain them before next Tuesday, No
vember Is, upon which day the hunt
ing season lawfully opens.
Upon that date it will be lawful to
hunt squirrels, dove, woodcock, ruffied
grouse, rabbits and male pheasants.
The season for squirrels ends on De-
cember "a; the season for doves on
December Is, while rabbits may be
hunted until December 81, all dates
inclusive.
Male deer with two or more points
to one antler may be killed in Garrett
county December 1 to 3, inclusive.
Reports from various sections of
the county are to the effect that game
of practically all species is more plen-
tiful than it has been for some years
past.
E. Lee LeCompte, State Game War
den, warns that it is unlawful to hunt
without first procuring a hunters Ii
cense and have it in possession while
hunting and have tag displayed on

A landowner or tenant, or their hill
dren are not required to procure hun
ter's license to hunt on land owned or

Thomas Got About 100000 Votes

TALLY increased his total over the
1927 record. He received 267,S00
votes four years ago and yesterday
had exceeded that by more than 3d.
900 with less than a third the returns
in.
The Democratic platform and the
Democratic candidate urged outright
repeal of the 18th amendment and
immediate modification of the Vol
stead Act, but not all party candi-
dates agreed with that stand, just as
there were differences among Repub-
licans on the issue.
Classifcations by anti-prohibition
organizations estimated that at least
AT senators in the 73rd Congress
would support repeal or resubmission
of the 18th amendment. From the
same source came claims that ap-
proximately 203 house members in
the same body would favor giving
the people a chance to express them
selves on the liquor laws.
The question of repeal or modifi-
cation in the coming Congress moved
further up front with the assertion
by Senator Robinson, of Arkansas,
Democratic leader, that he saw nc
reason why the issues should not be
passed on when Congress meets again.
At that, the economic situation
may overshadow prohibition as it did
in the campaign just closed. Econom-
les incompass any number of specific
issues-taxation, the tariff, relief, I'M
employment, and that gray bearded
legislative query, what shall we do to
