B. C. Silver Shareholders Sore

Commenting on the recent payment by the Premier Gold Minig Company of the usual quarterly dividend of 3 cents a share, equivalent to a payment of $150,000 on the 5,000,000 shares of capital stock, the Mining World and Engineering Record, of London, says:
 Dividends commenced in 1921, and during the ten years no less than S15,900,000~ has been distributed. No wonder Selukwe shareholders are sore that their own property-the B. c. Silver, which is actually connected with the Premier, is shut down. 1t is small consol- ation to Selukwe holders to learn that q few deals have taken place this week in Seluk- We shares, which company has the same lode, at a few pence each"

REPUBLICANS FORM
 CAMP A|GN CLUB

A Divisional Republican Club was organized recently in Ketchikan to carry on Repub- lican activities in the First Di- vision during the primary cam paign. Seven towns were rep resented in the caucus which preceded the organization of the club. These included Jun- eau, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Pet ersburg, Craig, Klawock, and Hydaburg. The club plans to extend it's organization to all other communities in the First Division in order to be in a po- ;ition to conduct vigorous pri- mary and general election cam paigns. Like the recent Demo- cratic convention at Fairbanks,
 he Republicans made no nom- nations, although sever a l persons were urged to file as legislative candidates. These included J. E. Johnson, Ketchi- kan, for senator; Grover c. Vim, Juneau, Arndt Sorset, Wrangell, and Lawrence II. Kubley and H. P. Hanson, Ketchikan, for the To- W I house. No recommendations were made with respect to Territorial ticket.
 MT. Johnson, who was sug- gested for senator, was a mem- Der of the House in 1881 and is a prominent Ketchikan insur- ance man. VT. Vim was Speaker of the 1881 House and a member of the 1929 House. MT. Sorset is in the m market business in Wrangell and Messrs Han and Kubley are we'll known Ketchikan business men.
 Former Senator Forrest J. Hunt was named temporary president of the club and Per cy G. Charles, candidate for the Republican nomination for Territorial Auditor, is tempo rary secretary

MANY WITNESSES FOR
 CONRAD WOLFLE TRIAL

The following account of pro- cedings at the trial of Conrad Wolfe on mail fraud charges growing out of his promotion of the local Cantu property are reprinted from Mining Truth.
 Fifty witnesses have been subpoenaed by the government including six from Alaska sev- eral from St. Paul and Minne- apolis, and others from various points in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. The gov ernment has gone into the hist ory of the United Copper Co.,, Red Bird, and other concerns, in an endeavor to show that statements made by Wolfe rel ative to former successful op- erations under his direction were exaggerated. Statements as to tonnages of ore reputedly blocked out on the Cantu were also attacked.
 Several government witnesses testified that stock which they purchased in Cantu had been bought back by directors of the company, other than Wolfe. Other parties originally sub poenaed were later excused when it was discovered their testimony would not aid the prosecution. A statement cred ited to postoffice inspectors that $500,000 had been raised for the company was later modified to make it $100,000, whereas the defense will con- tend that the amount was not greater than $25,000.
 Wolfe will contend that sav- eral letters bearing his sigma. ture were dictated by men in the selling organization and that he signed them without full knowledge of their con- tents"
 A Seattle newspaper recent ly published a purported eX- tract from a letter reputedly written by Wolfle to his wife in which the writer openly de- clared an intention to '.rob" in vestors blind" A n o t h e r newspaper account of the trial disclosed that Wolfe entered the realms of poesy by writing poetry concerning the Cantu in connection with his promotion efforts.

One resolution said it was the 'in- dividual and personal convict ion of the delegates" that Sen, a tor Anthony J. Diamond ought to be the candidate for delegate to Congress Senator Diamond personally opposed the nomination of himself, the reports say, and at his insist ence the convention adopted resolution urging that George B. Grigsby and A. H. Zeigler, as we'll as Diamond, enter the primary race for nomination for Delegate. The convention also adopted unanimously a re- port of the nominating com mittee, recommending that the following file for the primary: i James Truitt, Anchorage, for Attorney General; Claude Hell gesen, Juneau, for Auditor; /; Anthony E. Karnes, Ketchi- kan, for Commissioner of Edu- cation; Wm. A. Hesse, for Highway Engineer; J. J. Con- nors, Juneau, for National Committeeman. A. A. Shon- beck and Harry F. Morton, of 1 Anchorage; John w. Powers, Eagle; T. s. Deal, Fairbanks, and w. B. Kirk and John w.. Troy, Juneau, were also re- quested to file for delegates to the Democratic National con- vention..
 The filing period expired on February ? and such addition al filings as may appear are expected to arrive here in time for the succeeding issue of the Herald.

this reason some citizens who are inclined to attend refrain from doing so owing to fear of intruding. It was therefore de- cided to make it known as far as possible that the dinner meetings and all other general meetings of the Chamber are open to anyone who desires to attend and any person, male or female, who is interested in the Chamber and it's activities is invited to attend the dinners and general meetings. Their presence will be welcomed ,re- gardless of whether they are members of the organization or not.
 The general sentiment of the members is "the more the mer- rier" on such occasions and no obligation is entailed by at tending beyond the payment of the nominal service charge of 75 cents per plate. Visitors also should notify either the secretary, MT. Cross, or other member, of an intention to at tend, in order that proper pro- vision may be made for serv- ice.
 With a more general under satnding of this matter, it is hoped that future dinner sess. ions will attract even greater interest and attendance than | has been evidenced in the past

MANY POLITICAL
 CANDID FILE

ne Dlennlal crop or canQl- dates for political office in Alaska will be fully as large as usual this year, judging by the number of filings made for the coming primary election. As recorded in the Juneau news papers, those who have signi- fled their intention to seek par ty nominations for the various offices include quite number of the perennial candidates as we'll as a considerable number who have not heretofore ap- peared in the political arena.
 Incomplete returns so far re- ceived show declaration of can- didacy filings by the following aspirants for office:
 Alaska delegate to Congress- James Wickersham, Rep, and A. H. Zeigler, Dem. Anthony J. Diamond and Geo. B. Grigs- by had not filed but are ex- pected to be in the race for delegate nomination.
 John Rustgard, Rep, will seek a fourth term as Attorney General of Alaska, Frank H.. Foster, former Territorial rep resentative, is out for the dem- ocratic nomination for the same position.
 Vim. A. Hesse has filed for the democratic nomination for Highway Engineer and is the only candidate to file for that office so far.
 Percy c. Charles, Ketchikan business man, has filed his dec- laration of candidacy for the republican nomination for Ter ritorial Auditor. Cash Cole, the present incumbent, will also be in the race, but whether as a republican or independent was not decided.
 w. K. Keller, present Con- missioner of Education, will seek renomination by the re- publicans, while his democrat ic opponent in the last election campaign, Anthony E. Karnes, is after the democratic nomi- ation for that office.
 Norman R. Walker has filed for the democratic nomination for Territorial Senator for the First Division and Albert Vile, Dem. W. J. Kehoe, Dem., and F. J. Baronovich, .Dem., have filed for Territorial Represent ative. For delegate to the Nat ional conventions there are four democrats in the field, T. A. Wakefield, Eugene Wack- CT, M. M. Heath and John B.. Rice, and two republicans, J. Davis and Karl Thiele. With the exception of Thiele, they are all Ketchikan residents. l John w.

PL ANS LAUNCHED
 FOR CELEBRATION

George Washington w e c launched at the monthly meet ing of the Hyder Chamber of Commerce, held in Chamber of Commerce Hall Wednesday evening. The meeting was pre- sided over by Chas. F. Sand ford, president of the board of directors, and developed few matters of general interest, aside from the celebration dis cussion.
 Secretary H. R. Cross called attention to the desirability of observing the anniversary and it was pointed out by various members that the bicenten- nial celebration is sponsored by the United States govern ment and will take the form of a nationwide series of local celebrations in which every state, city and town will partic- ipate during the celebration period, extending from Wash ington's birthday, February 22, to Thanksgiving Day, Novem- Der 24. In addition to the cele- brations held throughout the nation, similar observances will be held by Americans and others in many foreign lands where the greatness of Wash ington is recognized. It was pointed out that in many res poets the celebration will be the greatest patriotic event ever held in America, hence it was considered highly des- irable that Hyder should par ticipate in a fitting manner at some time during the celebrat- ion period. A patriotic motion picture display and a program by the local school children, in conjunction with other patriot ic exercises and special church services were among the var ous suggestions offered as means of observance. After extended discussion it was de- cided to appoint a committee to interest all local organizat- ions and work out details re- specting the time and charac- ter of the celebration and the following were named: Ernest Blue, chairman, H. R. Cross, F. W. Fisher, B. B. Smith and E. D. Haddon.
 A proposal by the ladies of the Friendship Club to under take the preparation and serv- ice of the Chambers monthly dinner meeting, which could not be held this month owing to the unexpected closing of the Silver Grill, was also a sub ject of interested discussion by the Chamber. Under the plan suggested, the meetings would be held in the Pioneer Hall din- ing room on the second We'd nesday of each month.
 The prospect of enjoying din- ners prepared by the camps leading lady culinary artists was viewed with more than passing enthusiasm, especially by those members who are de- void of local family connect ions, and it was decided to ac- cept the offer of the ladies, with the next dinner scheduled to take place March 9.
 It developed in connection with the dinner discussion that considerable number of res idents are under the impress ion that the monthly dinner ses- sions are not open to the pub- lie and that an invitation to attend must be obtained. The view was expressed that for

GOOD THINGS TO EAT

With hundreds of families in Caecticut reduced to such desti- tuition that their money available for food is sorely cramped, the state departnAnt of health has in- augurated an extensive campaign to educate those who purchase the limited supply, concerning cheap CT kinds of food which must be kept in the diet if health and es- pecially the health of children is to be preserved.
 Pamphlets concerning food at low cost and emergency nutrition have been compiled, printed and distributed to all health officers and nutrition experts throughout the state in order that they may relay the information to families practicing economy. Copies of pamphlets explaining how the healthy diet may be maintained at low cost are available to anyone without cost by writing to the de- partment's headquarters in the state office building at Hartford.
 Keep milk, bread and a little inexpensive fruit or vegetable in the diet even if all other foods must be foregone," is the advice of the state department of health. The lower the level of expenditure the more one must concentrate on these foods. The monotony of continuous use of the same food stuffs should not mislead anyone. Monotony in diet never caused deaths provided the diet contained the necessary health nutrients, while shortage of those nutrients may be fatal in themselves or in directly by lowering resistance to disease.
 One pamphlet suggests dividing the food money into fifths as fol- lows: one fifth, more or less, for vegetables and fruits; one fifth or more, for milk and cheese: one fifth or more, for breads and cer- calls: one fifth or less, for meats, fish and eggs; one fifth or less, for fats, sugar and other groceries. The Inore meager the available food money, the less should be spent on the last two groups and the more concentration there should be upon the others. One can fore go flesh, fish and fowl, sweets, des- serts and most of the miscellan- eous foods bought in the grocery, provided one gets enough milk in some form and some fruit and veg etable to furnish the absolutely es- sential mineral elements and vita mins; and if to these foods enough breadstuffs are added to prevent actual weakness from hunger. The cheapest obtainable forms of these foods provide the health nutrients as well as the most expensive.
 In dire poverty, where only pen- nies are available, milk must re- main in the diet even at the ex- rense of bread. Milk builds bone and muscle better than any other food. It is better to bear the hunger and starved appearance than to incur lifelong injuries which result from the '"hidden hunger" of mineral and vitamin deficiencies. Milk is the surest and cheapest protection of health and

MEETING AT THE
 HOTEL WATERBURY
Annual Dinner of Local Assn of Personal Fi-
 nance Companies
HELD LAST EVENING

The semi-annual dinner meeting of the Waterbury Association of Personal Finance Companies was held at the Hotel Waterbury last night. Approximately forty guests were assembled from Wa terbury, Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and other surrounding towns.
 Among the guests present were Frank Green, secretary of the Wa terbury Chamber of Commerce, c. H. Dayton, of the Morris Plan Bank and Arthur Shippee of the State Banking Department in Hart ford. w. W. Wallace of the Equit- hb1e Industrial Loan society pre- sided as toastmaster.
 Arthur Shippee of the State Banking Department mentioned in his remarks that the personal fi- nance industry had now become firmly established as an increasing power for good in the community. He stressed the need for careful analysis of present day economic problems as applied to individuals in strengthened circumstances and urged that every effort be made to intelligent1y help the borrowing public during this time of retarded business conditions.

Washington-In a statement un- der the caption of "Our Export
 Market Lost" H. E. Miles, chair
 man of the fair tariff league, says:
 "As a consequence of the loss of our export markets sume 100000 factory workers with 6.000,000 de- pendents, formerly producing for export are permanently without their accustomed employment and income.
 By demanding gold in payments
 until Europe, France excepted, had
 none left, we forced her from the gold basis. Consequently, with the
 British pound sterling at $3.31 (Dec ID 1t takes 47 per cent more of her money to pay us indebted ness than last year or to buy from us. But it takes little or no more to buy from the many other non- gold countries. Canada is still on the gold basis, but her dollar is worth only 83 cents. Consequently, at the same prices, Britain saves 17 per cent by buying from Can- ada, besides saving her self-re- spect.
 "It would take $318,000,000 more in her depreciated currency
 for Great Britain to buy from us
 this year what she bought in 1890,
 and $464,000,000 more for Canada and Great Britain to buy this year
 the $1,338,000 (35 percent of all our exports) that they bought in 1890. Were there ever such trade killers as we?"
 The effect of our tariff policy in connection with the difference in
 money standards is thus comment ed upon by MT Miles:

 Superintendent Mclean stated that his men will be on the job to- day and tonight notifying all de- linQuent property owners to sand their icy sidewalks. Failure to do so will result in a notification to appear in city court.
 Last year a similar drive was carried out and many property owners landed in city court and were fined $2, each. As result of the drive, though, the city es- caped with 8 very small amount of damage suits as the result of falls on slippery sidewalks.

He felt that in compari- son, this time may be likened to a time of prosperity when com pared to more adverse conditions experienced during previous de- pressions. He said that the Amer ican family is going through a time of readjustment with the re- sultant "getting back to earth, all of which will work for a finer and more stable national advancement.
 Everett Moore, representing the Beneficial Management Corpora ton in New York, remarked that the personal finance industry has a tremendous opportunity for fur |ther service at this time. He said that the chance for improvement in the rendering of service to the public was never as great as 1t is now.
