London Journal Issues
 Big Silver Edition

The Herald received this week from London, England correspondent, 24-page edit ion of The Financial News, the worlds greatest financial journal, which is devoted al- most wholly to silver and the question of the use of silver as monetary medium. The edit ion contains the most complete and informative discussion of the silver question, and bimet- allism so far observed, in ad- dition to a vast mass of infor- nation on the production, ex- traction, refining and general use of the white metal. The authorative articles presented include:
 Silver Through the Ages" by Sir John Marriott; 'To-day's Case for Bimetallism," by Sir Robert Horne; "The Case Against Bimetallism," by J. C. Hamilton; "Can Silver Prices be Fixed by Prof. T. E. Greg ory, in addition to many others bearing on silver, including an unpublished letter of the late Lord Balfour, who for nearly a half century was a student of bimetallism and one of it's fore most advocates.
 The Herald sincerely regrets that, owing to the consider able length of the articles, it is unable to reproduce them for the benefit and enlighten- ment of Herald readers, as they are the most Illuminating discussions of the type we have ever encountered. The Financial News issued pre- viously a similar edition deal ing with gold and the gold standard.

Jackson Again on Air

Joe Jackson, former local prospector, who delivered a radio address on Alaska from station KPCB, Seattle, last week, again appeared "on the air Sunday evening, much to the edification of the local ra- dio audience, most of whom knew Joe personally.
 Joe's talk was repitition of his first address and pre- sented a recital of his pros pecting experiences in the north, delivered in character istic vein.
 The talk was preceded by the broadcasting of a phono- graph record of song writ ten by Jackson entitled Gall ot the Midnight Sun, and was followed by another, of which Jackson is also the author, titled Come to Alaska" Both are tuneful compositions and are not only we'll written, but also constitute good adVertiS- ing for the Territory. From humble, unlettered camp cook to a capable song writer and somewhat spectacular mining figure is long jump and Joe is assuredly entitled to con- graduation for his attainments since leaving the Portland Can al country.

Seeks To Save Alaska
 Farm Station:

The Territorial Chamber If Commerce, acting on the authority of all Chambers of Commerce in Alaska, is en- deavoring to induce Congress to grant funds for the main- tenance of the several agri- cultural experiment station in the Territory. The stations are scheduled to be closed down June 30, for lack of finances, no appropriation for nainten- ance having been included in the pending agricultural ap- propriations bill. The Territor- ial Chamber is working chief ly through Delegate Wicker sham but is also endeavoring to enlist the aid of the Cham bers of Commerce of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The Chamber has also addressed a plea for continuance of the stations to the president, vice-president, all cabinet officers, the Speak CT of the House and to many senators and congressman who have visited Alaska in late years.

(. Of C. Meeting Postponed

The monthly dinner meeting of the Hyder Chamber of Con- merce, which has generally been held on the first Wednes- day of each month, will not occur next Wednesday owing to the closing of the Silver Grill. The date of the next meeting has not been fixed and will be announced later.
 An interesting feature of the session will be an highly in- formative address on the de- velopment and history of the world monetary system by MT. Ernest Blue. Although based on a speech made recently be- fore the Stewart Board of Trade, MT. Blues forthcoming address will be of far more ex- tensive scope and will include a discussion of the credit sys- tenn as in vogue at the phesent time.

To "Efigh-Grade" on Silveradc

John Haati and a number of associates have secured a one year lease on the Silverado group on Rainey Mountain q,.d started activities on the prop erty last week.
 It is understood that develop ment work in the true sense of the term is not contemplated ; it being the intention of those interested to merely extract high-grade ore firm the spec tacular silver-bearing leadc found on the surface but which apparently do not extend to any considerable depth, judg- ing by the failure of the Pre- mier Gold Mining Company to demonstrate downward con. tinuity in more than a year of active large scale development work.
 ; As the surface ores are of remarkable richness, MT. Haati believes that enough ore can be extracted and ship ped to pay good wages to those employed in the venture.

BARNEY GULCH POWER
 IS BURNED

The Silverado Gulch electric light plant of the Northern B. c. Power Company was de- stroyed by fire about 4 A. M. last Saturday mornng.
 The plant was of the auto- matic type, with the mechan- ism controlled by an automatic governor and voltage regulat- pr and required little attention beyond oiling up and inspec- tion once a day. As no one was around at the time, the origin of the fire is unknown, but is bought by w. D. Smith, man. ager of the company, to have 3een due to a bearing burning out; which in turn threw off a belt which caught between the pulley and a wooden casing; he resulting friction causing the wood to catch. The electri- cal generating machinery was entirely destroyed and about half of the building was con- sumed. The company is now furnishing light fro m it's re- maining plants.

RIVER PLANS INVOLVE
 LOCAL COOPERATION

Details of the War Depart ment recommendations for Salmon River flood control re- ceived this week reveal that the departments recommenda- tions for construction of a flood prevention dike at a total cost of $53,000 involves a local contribution of $7,000, together with $200 yearly for maintenance.
 According to Washington re- ports, the War Department recommended that local inter- ests contribute $7,000 of the original cost and $200 yearly, thereby sustaining the views of the district engineer, Major Elliott and overruling the di- vision officer, at San Fran cisco, who had suggested that local interests contribute SEA- 900, or nearly 50 per cent of the total cost.
 Receipt of these details of the government proposals has somewhat reduced the earlier feeling of qualification creat- ed by the action of the War Department in recommending the improvement. Interested citizens point out that it is i'm possible at this time for local interests to contribute the amount asked. There is also serious doubt expressed that the Alaska Legislature would be willing to make the requir- ed contributions toward origi- nal cost and upkeep in view  of the sadly debilitated state of territorial finances.
 It is pointed out further that local interests have already ex- pended approximately $10,000 in preserving the town from destruction by the recurrent flooding of Salmon River and it is generally felt that this is about all such a small com munity as Hyder can reason ably be expected to contribute.
 In recommending the pro- ect, Major General Lytle Brown, chief of the Army En- gineers, said that "Hyder was endangered by floods and its abandonment would remove the only American entry into the Salmon and Texas Creek mining districts and added, according to the reports, that taking into consideration the large federal interest and in- vestment in the highway con- meeting it with the information al boundary, the flood protec- tion is justified"
 The view is held here that inasmuch as the Federal inter- est and investment involved is equal to if not greater in value than those of the private in- terests subject to possible flood damage, it is not asking too much of the government that it continue at its own ex- pense the flood protection measures carried on for years by Hyder citizens at relatively greater cost than is involved in the new project.

Cancer Victims Are Easy
Dupes for Fake Cures
Physicians Warn Against Frauds,
Urge Early Discovery As Only
Hope of Cure.

st. Paul May 23-Another so
called Cancer Institute was ex-
posed and debunked by the Amer
lean Medical Association in Iowa
q few weeks ago.
This institute was run by a form
err manufacturer of tires, baby bug
gies and calliopes whose only pre-
paration for his later career as a
cancer expert was a season doing
psychology stunt in vaudeville.
The fact that for several years
this man was trusted by hundreds
of pitiful victims of cancer is not
surprising, says today's bulletin
from the Minnesota State Medical
Association. Cancer victims are
easy prey for takers, especially
when told by their medical advis-
ors that the condition is HOPELESS
because they have waited too long
before seeking medical treatment.
It is easy to understand how the
rosey promise of help beguiles
them.
Dozens of cases where the Baker
Institute of Muscatine had publicly
claimed cures were shown in this
trial to be false, the bulletin points
out. Often they had been dead for
weeks or months when Baker, in

partment Of agriculture.
The seeder distributor was de-
veloped by the engineers of the
bureau during the winter, after a
survey Of the grasshopper infested
area in the central and northern
plains region disclosed last fall
myriads of eggs likely to hatch this
summer if the weather is favorable
to the grasshoppers. They designed
for the seeder conical hopper and
a special vertical agitator to help
the bran to move through the ma
chine.
The engineers also tested the SOW
er which had been changed slightly
to handle the poisoned mash. The
tests show that this machine
also is satisfactory as a mash dis
tributor.
The seeder distributes bran in
strips about 20 feet wide. The SOW
er does not have quite so much
spread, but the feeding device and
other mechanism are so efficient
and simple that they Offset the dis
advantage of the narrower spread.
In heavily infested areas, the
strips made with either machine
should meet. The application by
either machine is so thin that there
is no danger to poultry or other
animals that may feed in areas
treated with the poison.
The poison bran should be moist
when distributed and should be ap-
piled to infested areas between 6
and 10 o'clock in the morning when
air temperatures are between 70
and 80 degrees. This is the time
when the young hoppers do their
first active seeding Of the day, the
entomologists say. Poison should
not be spread on cloudy or rainy
days.
The bureau developed the end
gate seeder as a distributor in CO.
operation with the United States
bureau of entomology and the farm
machinery manufacturers. The
tests on the sower were made in
cooperation with the manufac-
turers.
The effective mixture of the poi
son bran and methods Of applica-
ton are explained in a bulletin
which also tells how to destroy
grasshopper eggs and SO prevent
Matching. -
The infested grasshopper area
last summer included more than g.
OOO, 900 acres of land in western
Minnesota and Iowa, in eastern
Colorado, Montana and Wyoming,
in the Dakotas and Nebraska.

hopes of sick people are of any
worth, says the bulletin, then per-
haps the Baker incident in which
Baker sued and was denied dam
ages from the American Medical
Association for its repeated de-
clarations of the worthlessness of
his treatment, may do something
to protect the sick.
The federal government does
something through the Food and
Drug Act to stop many scandalous
forms of quackery. But it is power
less unless the cure in question is
in the form of self-styled cure by
a drug or combination of drugs. In
rare instances where the cure en-
tiers interstate commerce the gov
eminent can and does take i'm

These safeguards are ineffective

prises as the Baker outrage, &C
cording to the doctors.
There is at present just one legi-
innate cure for cancer. That lies
in immediate recognition and
treatment by surgery or radium as
soon as the very first suspicion of
a symptom appears. In more than
80 percent of cases cancer that is
properly treated in the early stage
is cured.
So far no other treatment has
been developed for cancer. When it
is, it will not be the private proper
ty of an ex-vaudevillian but the
common possession of all legiti-
mate doctors everywhere.
Education on the facts of can
ser should begin in the schools,
these doctors say. It should be car
ried on by churches, magazines,
newspapers. Such education is the
only effective weapon against can
Ger malefactors. Education of the
laity in the early signs of cancer is
at present our. most hopeful means
of reaching cancer when it is still
in the operable stage.
