Premier Tram Cable Is
 Installed In Record Time

traction cable on the II l2 mile aerial tramway of the Premier Gold Mining Comp any was completed in the rec ord time of 32 hours; eight hours less than the time it was estimated would be required. Furthermore, the work was done without more than a trif- ling delay in the usual operat- ion of the tramway, which con- tinued to deliver ore at the bunkers and carry back the empty buckets throughout the operation. The actual time re- quired to install the twenty odd miles of heavy cable was 30 hours. the remaining two hours being consumed mainly in splicing in the several sect ions of the cable as they were unrolled from the seven huge wooden drums on which it ar rived from the States some weeks ago. The previous time record for the job was 40 hours. No special equipment was used, aside from an engine employed at the dock to take up the slack as the old cable was withdrawn from the tram way, and only the usual power equipment at the Premier term inal was used to place the cable in position on the long line of supporting towers extending from the mine to the bunkers at tidewater in Hyder, B. c.
 The method employed was both simple and effective. The old cable was cut at the dock and a section of the new cable was attached to the end and hauled out on the tramWay by the engine at the mine. The in- coming end of the cable, which had seen over ten years of con- tinuous service, W a S then wound on waiting drums as fast as the new cable was paid out under the pull of the engine at the mine. AS each reel of the new cable was unwound a new length was spliced to the preceding section until the sev- en sections had been spliced in- to one continuous length and the end of the first outgoing section had passed over the entire tram and returned to the dock. The ends were then fastened at the dock, making continuous belt of wire ex- tending from the dock to the mine and back again. Each of the spices were about 70 feet in length. Save for the time required to make the splices, traffic over the tramway was not interrupted.
 The work was performed by the regular tram crew under the direction of tram superin- tendent Frank Fisher, who had previously instructed and re- hersed the men in the funct-

all.
The Narwhal, 37l feet long, main

Garden of Eden Is Placed in Spain
By Theory of Hebrew Philologist

PARIS.-A new theory, placing the
Garden of Eden in Spain, Is advanced
by Hebrew philologist o. v. de L.
Milosz, in the Revue des Vivants, which
is edited by Henry de Jouvenel, the new
French Ambassador to Italy Hitherto
1t has been assumed that the earthly
paradise" was situated in the TigriS-
Euphrates Valley, the hypothesis being
supported by the mention in Genesis of
the Euphrates as one of the four rivers
that flowed out of Eden.
But Prof. Milosz points out, while the
Tigris might be taken for another, there
Is no way of accounting. under this
theory. for the remaining two rivers.
On the other hand, he marshalS long
series of facts in support of his conten-
ton that Eden can be identified with
the Iberian Peninsula.
Left for Their Exile.
Spain today bears many vestiges Of
Celto-Ligurian, Phoenician and Cartha-
ginian origin. If it is assumed that the
Hebrews left Iberia for their exile in
the desert lands of the East, 1t Is con-
ceivsble that they kept alive tradition
OF r rich and fertile country which had
once been theirs, and 1t Is this supposi
tion which lies at the bottom of Prof.
Milosz's hypothesis. The analogy is
then developed from linguistic resem-
blances between Spanish geographical
names and similar Hebrew names.
The word Eden itself, Prof. MilosZ
suggests, Is the root "Anda" found in
Andalusia, while the very name Hebrew
appears to be a transformation of Iberia
The river Hiddekel, previously identified
with the Tigris, bears a strong resem-
blance to the Guadalquivir (in Arabic,
Wad-el-Kebir) which flows past Seville
to Cadiz. According to the Bible, the
Hiddelkel bows ito the east of Assyria."

hands of Mr.. Wilson's political enemies
When Bullitt left Paris he carried with
him credentials from both Mr.. Lansing
and Mr.. Grew.
He was in Soviet Russia only a
week. Accompanied by MIR. Steffens
and by Capt. w. w. Petit OF the Army
Intelligence Service, he saw Lenin,
Tchitcherin and Litvinoff, the princi-
pal Communist chieluains OF the period.
He reported by telegraph to the Presi-
dent, Col. House, and Mr.. Lansing, and
they, in turn, communicated his mes
sageS to Mr.. Lloyd George and Arthur
Balfour in London. Among other i'm
mediate results of his contact with the
Soviet officials was the release of an
American consul who had been i'm
prisoned at Tashkent Col. House sent
him a telegram of congratulations.
Endorsed Lenin Plan.
Over the actual negotiations between
Bullitt and Lenin there is veil of
mystery. Apparently Bullitt submitted
a proposal to terminate the strife be-
tween the several factions in Russia
whereby the allies would restore nor
mai trade relations and give needed
social relief in return for a policy of
cooperation. Lenin seems to have
offered substitute plan which, in his
Evening star., 1933-02-12

"Assyria" was in reality the Sierra" or
mountain chain now known as the
Sierra Morena. Centuries after their
exile from Iberia the Hebrews may have
identified it with the neighboring king
dom of Assur.
As for the Euphrates, which seems
to offer no difficulty if the Mesopo-
tamian theory is accepted, Prof Milosz
points to the likeness to the name of
another Spanish river, the Ebro Pos
sibly an even more striking fact is that
the name for Spain in the Hebrew Ian
guage Is Sfarad, perfect phonetic
counterpart OF paradise.
Linked to BASQUE.
1t is suggested also that the BASQUE
language, the origin of which has never
been traced, contains many analogies
with Hebrew and particularly with Ara
malc. The name of God in the North
ern loerian tongue was lao, which Is
very much like the Hebrew Iahveh,
while Astarte. one of the favorite god
desses among the Oriental peoples. is
known IN the Basque tongue as Arthi-
Zarra.
frol. MiloSZ goes on to conclude.
Win wealth Of further analogies, thst
the great Western neolithic civilizarro-,
centered In Andalusia. BY the time Of
the Copper Age 1t had probably ex-
tended to Scandinavia, which again in
cludes the root "anda." Basque legends
tell OF prehistoric discovery of Amer
lea by the IberianS, and it is conjectured
that the name of Canada may be a
trace Of this. since the mysterious root
"anda" again appears here, as it does
also in Andes and in India.
1t is on such conjectures as these that
Prof. Milosz believes solution to the
secret of the unity of Indo- European
civilization may be found.

made these recommendations first-page

by hundreds of commendatory edi-

Governors the commission has urged
that the reduction of crime be made
part of its agenda and that the Gov

The desire on the part of our people
to have crime reduced is not lacking,
but apparently there is a feeling that
it is not a matter which touches their
lives or fortunes personally. Any poll
tician will tell you that unless an issue
involves a voter personally he will not

seems incredible that even the most
obvious and simple steps should be
proposed without any result whatever
beyond a general interest on the part
of the press and public, beyond an
agreement that the idea is excellent and
that somebody should do something
about it.

of crime, so far as I know, has never

I am beginning to think that we will
never really do anything about crime re-
duction until some passionately earnest
leader of the William Jennings Bryan
type arouses the people and keeps them
aroused long enough to secure action.
The legislators of the different States
are equally somnolent on this matter.
The nearest thing to a successful

can take to its credit so far has been
the creation in a number of States of

most effective of these was probably
