Gold Cleanup On
 Way To U. 5. Mint

Nick H. Bruhn, for 35 years a permanent resident of Alaska with out once during those years leav- ing it's boundaries, arrived in the city Friday night from his rich placer property on Canyon Creek, Moose Pass. Nick, who is now 72 years of age but looks more like 42, is perhaps one of the best known of the many fine Oldtimers in the Northland- and is especially remembered as a premier artist on the violin, as well as other instru- ments. The loss of finger in an explosion years ago, failed to halt Nick from continuing to please his many friends whenever he chose to draw his magic bow across his favorite instrument. Nick plans to return to his wilderness home in few days.
 One cleanup, and a satisfactory one, has already been forwarded to the United States treasury, but five or six boxes are yet to be sluic- ed before the freezeup, Nick said.

Will Germans Support
Persecution of Jews?

The theory that Hitler 8
rule means the smashing of
capitalism and the rule of
the middle class is pure
piffle for this reason: Hit
Ter is in, not on his own, but
on sufferance of the Hugen-
bergs and Won Papens.
These represent the aris-
tocracy of the junkers and
industrialists. And these
are not enemies of capital
ism; and they are far from
being friends of the middle
classes.
When the Hugenbergs
and Won Papens become cup
bearers for a dictator pro-
posing an interference with
property rights, we are
dreaming.
There are parts of the
Hitler program which those
on whose support he is de-
pendent can support.
They can support him in
the reputation of the Ver-
sailles Treaty.
And in the demand for
the restoration of some of
the German colonies.
And in the building up of
militant German national
ism.
Will they support him in
his plan for the persecution
of the Jews? Bismarck had
too much sense for that.

ONCE OVERS
Friends and Acquaintances

Friends and Acquaintance
It is unwise to think that be-
cause you are accepted by a
certain person as a companion
in some game or some line OF
sports in which both are inter-
ested, that a close friendship
exists.
The only common interest
may be your similar inclina-
tionS in sports.
To believe that partners in
sports means social partnership
is likely to bring a surprising
and pride-injuring humiliation.
In a poker game, outdoor
sports or little stag parties there
is not such a fine linz drawn.
So be a little careful w you
set too much store on the COM
pany you are thrown with, in
certain associations where good
playing is necessary.
Friendship-the real thing
is based upon spiritual as we'll
as material interests.
It might be we'll to remember
that when you enumerate your
friends.
Acquaintance many of them
and interesting, is the rule.
Real friends are hard to find.
Social rules have to be hard
and fast if social enjoyment
exists.
People cannot make them
selves over all the time.

Parliamentary Rule
Ended In Germany?

The movement in favor of
ending parliamentary gov
ernment on the theory that
it is none of the people s
business how they are gov
erned has spread to Ger
many. Of course, that is the
meaning of Hitler's eleva-
ton. Hitler is king; but the
power behind the throne is
Hugenberg, the spokesman
Of the Royalist National
party. We owe to him the
knowledge that the present
government of concentra-
tion," while engaged in a
Reichstag election campaign,
is not taking the election
seriously. One is justified in
concluding that, regardless
of the result of the election,
Hitler will stay on; and that
means the end of the repub-
lie and the end Of democracy
in Germany.
For Hugenberg publicly
declares that this is to be the
last election.
He makes it plain that the
purpose is to end parliament
tary government.
He practically announces
that few men intend to rule
by force, regardless Of the
will of the people.
If he knows whereof he
speaks, even Hindenburg has
surrendered, and the repub-
lie is dead.

In recent years interest in
our sister republic, Mexico, has
grown apace, and now many
travellers who used to take fire.
quent jaunts to Europe have
declared in favor of trips to
Mexico, for it offers all that
Europe has and very much more
besides. While Mexico City is
the first objective of the ma
jority, wise folk extend their
trip to visit Mazatlan, one of the
finest of Mexican sea ports and
a city of over 10000 people.
Situated on the west coast Of
Mexico, Mazatlan is a blend of
the old and picturesque with
the modern. 1t is a city of tre-
mendous distinction, entirely
different from anything I know.
It's harbor is marked by a nat
ural gate-great rock bluffs that
rise sheer above the deep blue
waters Of the Pacific. Inside
is the lovely bay, and standing
guard over all, on Creston
Island, is the second highest
lighthouse in the world, Gibral-
tar, of course, being the highest.
The city is trimmed by hills
bathed in sunlight and soft
mistS.
