GOLD ORE SHIPMENTS
 START FROM DUNWELL

The first of an expected ser ies of steady shipments of gold ore from the Jackson-Sved- borg lease on the gold veins of the Ben Ali claim of the Dun- we'll group was brought to the Stewart dock last week by Ken. nie and Young, packers.
 The shipment consisted of eight tons of ore and is said to carry values which will yield a good profit over the costs of extraction, transportation and reduction.
 Messrs c. G. Jackson and Pete Svedborg, holders of the lease, are confident that they will be able to continue ship ments throughout the winter season, as their explorations in- dicate an assured supply of the ore, although they have been working only a short time.
 This is the third operation of small type launched in the district this year, the others be- ing those of Messrs. Younkin and McFadden on the silver gold veins of the Sunbeam claim of the Dunwell and of John Hadn't and associates on the silver veins of the Silver ado property, both of which are operating under leases.
 The success of the two last mentioned and the probable success of the Ben Ali operat- ion confirms the view ex- pressed by this paper in ear!:er periods that individuals associ- ated in small groups and doing .heir own work can make wag- 9s or better in mining the cas- fly accessible ores found at numerous points in the district.
 In many instances ores ar rying values ranging from $50 10 upward of $100 per ton can be mined by such partnerships with very little expense and will yield at least a wage prof 1t even under the present de- pressed condition of the metal market. There are literally dozens of such deposits which could be mined during the summer season by open cut methods and without the heavy expense of underground work, as has been proven in more than a few instances, notably on the Riverside, Cantu, Silver ado and at least one Texas creek property.
 From what we have been able to learn of this class of op- erations, only a very small amount of capital is necessary, the primary essential being a fair knowledge of mining and willingness to work on the pa' [ of the operators.

LOCAL RED CROSS
 MEMBERSHIPS ASKED

In connection with the annual Red Cross Roll Call period, ex- tending from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving, the Ketchikan chapter of the American Red Cross, through it's chairman, Rev. Clyde L. Walker, has re- quested the organization of a local branch of that chapter to carry on local relief work and to secure financial support for the great humanitarian organ ization through membership enrolment.
 In a letter to the Chamber of Commerce enlisting this sur- port, Rev. Walker says:
 We do not expect great amounts, considering present day conditions, but there ale surely some who will be will ing to take out membership in consideration of the great service the Red Cross is now doing"
 Rev. Walker also points out that by enrolling as members local residents will be assisting materially in local unemploy- ment relief work as only 50 cents of a membership fee or additional amount contrib uted, goes to the Red Cross or ganization, the remainder be- ing held by the local chapter for purely local relief. Thus 50 cents of a dollar contribut- ed for an annual membership by a Hyder resident will be devoted to relief work in Hy- der II needed.
 Supplies for membership en- rollment have been forwarded to Mrs. O. F. Hill, who has been designated to succeed her late husband as local Red Cross agent until such time as a local branch chapter is organized.
 Pending such organization, Mrs. Hill will undertake the work of securing member ships and requests the cooper ation of all who are in a posit- ion to become members.
 In view of the fact that the Ketchikan chapter has already materially assisted the local unemployed by contribution of Red Cross flour and is to supply two additional tons in a few days, in addition to a quantity of much needed wear ing apparel, it is highly desir- able that the community show it's appreciation by responding as far as possible to the call for local members.
 Annual memberships are $1, contributing memberships $5, sustaining memberships $10, and supporting memberships $25. In each case only 50 cents of the amount contributed goes to the national and information al relief work, the remainder being held for purely local re- lief activities.

DEMOCRATS ACHIEVE
 TREMENDOUS VICTORY

Franklin Delan0 Roosevelt, governor of New York, will be be the next president of the United States and both houses of Congress will be under dem- ocratic control in the coming new session as a result of the nations great battle of ballots last Tuesday. In addition to winning an overwhelming vic tory in the presidential contest the democrats also achieved distinct victories in all but a relatively small percentage of the state. county and munici- pal elections throughout the country.
 In the presidential contest, according to radio reports, President Herbert Hoover car ried only six states, Connecti- cut, Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire Vermont and Penn sylvania, all the others going to Roosevelt and giving him a to tai of 472 votes in the electoral college against 59 for his ra- publican opponent. Roosevelt captured New York, with it's 4l electoral votes by a plurality of over a million. receiving over 800,00 in New York City alone.
 Never before in the history of the Republic has there oc- cured a more decisive repudi- ation of a presidential candi- date for reelection than that which swept Herbert Hoover out of office and ushered in Q democratic regime with Frank lin D. Roosevelt as its leader
 The country also went unmis- takably for modification Of prohibition, either by referen- dunn or support of wet candi- dates.
 The latest reports indicate that the democrats will prob ably have control of the Sen ate by approximately 20 votes and will have at least two thirds of the House member ship when the new congress conVenes. As a result of the Congressional changes, many of the familiar figures will he missing. These will include Senator James Watson of lndi- ana, who has served for 50 years, Senator Moses of New Hampshire and Reed Smoot Of Utah, ranking member of the present senate, who began his present service in 1903.
 Huge democratic majorities in state, county and city elect ions throughout the country are reported. California, Mir. IIoover's home state, went ali most solidly democratic in all elections, the reports indicate. and William c. McAdoo was elected to the Senate by a large plurality. 1 n Washington state Homer T.

DEMOCRTS CARRY
 LOCAL ELECTION


 out of a possible 106 votes, the Territorial election held here Tuesday followed closely the trend of the national elections by going strongly democratic. In not one instance was a re- publican candidate given pref erence and in a majority of cases the democratic candi- dates achieved two to one majority over their republican opponents. The only close con- test developing was between John Rustgard, republican in- cumbent, and James s. Truitt, democratic contender, for Terr- itorial Attorney General, MT. Truitt leading his opponent by only one vote. Reports from other sections of the division and territory indicate, howev- CT, that MT. Rustgard and the rest of the republican candi- dates in this division were de- cisively beaten. In most in- stances the democratic candi- dates received two to one ma jorities.
 In the local contest Joe Green, Hyder's democratic candidate for the Territorial legislature, led the voting with a total of S6 out of the 97 votes cast. The last divisional reports indicate that MT. Green was leading his nearest opponent by large majority and is assured of election. The local returns were as follows:
 For Delegate to Congress A. J. Diamond, Dem. 56 James Wickersham, Rep. 35
 For Attorney General James s. Truitt, Dem. 41 John Rustgard, Rep. 70 William L. Paul, Ind. 12

, So long ago.
 Ha began to feel in his pocket lor matches. There was a box in ihIs blazer pocket. He opened gingarly and found two matches. iPsrtaps his hand shook; perhaps tha first match was rotten It left a luminous streak upon the rough ened side of the box and went out. There was one match left. He istruck i. quickly and it caught, fthe soft damp wood sizzling as the hyeilow flame took hold.
 He saw vet black rock-a drop to wha. he thought was water land bars. The match burned his ifingers. and he dropped it on the s&et stone.
 4 Jsrvis came with a tremendous mental shock to the realization of where he was. There was only one place with a barred exit like that te. the sea. and that was Old Foxy Flxon's cellar? Why, there weren't half a dozen people who knew of 1 it's existence-Basher-poSsibly Ja- ret Ta.terly Who else?

 Presently he moved, threw out and arm, and groaned. The sound Of his groan was the first to reach his ears since he had heard Rocamund move beside him in the dark just before he leaned for ward to put on the lights of her car.
 He heard his own groan, and opened his eyes again. He was still in the dark But where was Rosamund, and where was the car?
 He sat up and felt his head There was a lump on the back of 1t like a tennis-ball His right leg felt numb He put down one hand gropingly and touched stone. The damp cold of it reused him. He moved his leg. It was not in- jured, it was only numb.

Chinese Puzzle.
Manchester Guardian.) )

The Romans, always downright, made deso- ation and called it peace; the Japanese going one better invite us to admire their peace while they make war. Only few days ago they told us how they had to recognize "Manchukuo" because the Manchurians could not be restrained from revoltng against China and setting up independent State. Now budget of newspapers arrives from the Far East It makes odd reading. Count Hayashi, Presi- dent of the South Manchuria Railway, says that Henry Pu-yi, the head of the new State, rarely goes out because of personal danger. On August 28 large force of insurgents attacked Mukden started fires in the arsenal destroyed arplanes, and kept up fight again Japanese and Manchukuo forces for some hours Worse follows Some of the Man chukuo police who should have represented at it's mghest the passionate affection of the Manchurian people Tor inexperienced and Japan), far forgot
 tnmselves that they had to be dsarmed by the
 Japanese troops. It looks as though the Japanese were mistaken about the feeling of the Chinese in Manchuria They should have asked someone. There

place to store his smuggled goods; had put up the bars to keep out prying Customs men.
 Jervis sat with his palms cold on the wet stone and recalled Basher taking them into Foxy's kitchen and down brick steps to a cellar that was surprisingly dry and warm-Basher moved a barrel and raising up tremendous trap door by the iron ring in it-him- self and Rosamund peering into the black uncertainties below.
 We'll, he was in old Foxy's eel lar-and what about it? It be- came bhndingly obvious that it was Robert Leonard who had put him there. and that Rosamund had shown him the way The question was, what did they want? And the answer came put in Ferdinand F9ancis'S words-Nans words. Who gets Weare and the money if any thing happens to you?"
 Rosamund gets it. And Rosamund knew about the cellar.
 That cold anger gripped him hard. It turned in on himself He'd had warnings enough, and he had refused to take them. The taxi accident that hadn't been an accident. The conveniently rotten bridge over the ravine. The wheel that had come off his car on the very hill that was over now. Even that old business of ten years ago on Croyston rocks. He believed now that on each of these occasions Leonard had tried to murder him. He bent his head and listened intently. The sound of the sea, which had been faint

They Have Them in Japan.
Seattle Times.)

They have them in Japan, too, and in other countries as well-those newspapers that let con-
 sderation of truth probability stand in the way of what they wish to say Here for example, is Kokumin published in Tokyo telling its readers
 of the prospective invasion of Asia by the Ameri- cans, who, easy means of getting there, are to build railroad under Boring Strait to connect Alaska and Sibebra.
 That underwater rail route, according to Ko- kumin, is just a starter. The archaeological ex- porations of Roy Chapman Andrews in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia have really been American rail- way surveys, looking toward vast extensions from the Bering Strait cutoff In short, as Kokumn figures it out, the American sweep of conquest is to carry to Moscow. It is big plan; as a means of unemployment relief it would be dandy; just about every ounce of American man-power would be needed for that job.
 Looking at it from this end some obstacles are to be There is first the necessity of getting Canadas consent to railroad building through that friendly foreign territory. In British Co., lumbia, the Yukon and Alaska there is quite a bit of rough ground to get over before reaching Cape Prince of Wales where Kokumin locates the sub-aqueous tunnel. The cost would be consid- erabe-some hundreds of billions of dollars-before anything like golden spike could be driven at the Moscow terminus. Kokumin better try its imagination on something simpler.

Socialists Change from Soap Boxes to
 White Collars.
(New York world-Telegram.


 Aside from the heavy vote Norman Thomas is expected to poll the Socialist Presidential nom- inee, his nationwide tour has set many precedents which may have important political consequences The Socialist candidate comedies Gov. Roosevelt's election, and has illusions concerning his own chances. But he is fighting hard for large protest vote in all sections of the country, and has not confined his appeal to any one section or group. He also stresses the fact that sizable protest vote may force both the major parties to become more liberal in their control of both White House and Congress. So he condemns both Gov. Roosevelt and President Hoover.
 He believes the principal benefit from his cam paign is that he is getting hearing before groups which never before attended Socialist meeting, and condemned the partys policies without understanding them.
 In addition, he has received a fnore favorable press than any other Socialist nominee with great CT dissemination of his ideas about sociazed State.
 He has shifted the Socialist center of influence from the soap box to the white collar class

wheels He had to sit down again. His mind cleared momentarily. On- ly moment ago he had heard Rosamund move beside him in the darkness. He had leaned forward, and someone had knocked him out.
 Who? That was the question And why?
 He felt about him again. Stone He got over on to his hands and knees and felt further afield One groping hand passed roughened ridges and came down into a slimp hollow; the other, feeling ahead, went over a round- ed edge and found nothing beyond it.
 For a moment Jervis stayed like that, his left hand slipping. and his right over the edge of an un- known drop. Then a sharp splin- ter of rock cut his knee and half iiavoluntarily he drew himself back into a sitting position. What place was this? A dark place, and damp with the passage of water.
 With his mind awakened to this, his ears caught a sound which had not meant anything until now when he became aware that it had been present all the time. It was the sound of water, of the sea. Everything stood still in his mind for a moment. Then the sound of the sea again. His hand went down and touched the damp stone. He put a finger to his mouth and found it salt. The sound of the sea--and rock with a salt dampness upon it. The sea had been over this stone, and not

Al Smith is always direct and simple. His pro- posal to give the country beer and ale by amending the Volstead Act to provide nothing herein con- tained shall be deemed to apply to matted liquors is simple and easy to understand, but it would do the work. It would leave, however, the vicious enforcement act in effect and would still give the courts lots of work and continue most of the tremend cost. It would, of course serve to help the situation pending the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. It would add to employment and contribute largely to the public revenues.
