And now a word or two about Brad
man. He has had bard luck In the first
three test matches; he never could ges
beyond 90 runs. The critics claim that
was due to the fact of his having chang

dashing. swash-buckling type.
But Bradman of the Fourth Test

player, he has returned to his style IN

In order to prevent him being injur-

him to the pavilion Thirty. eight thous.

hoarse in an effort to snow Bradman just
how they felt about his great innings.

Stewart Celebrates Victoria %
 Day With Indoor Exercises

Stewart residents celebrated Victoria Day onThursday with a fine program of indoor exer- cises under the auspices of the Stewart branch of the Canad- ian Legion.
 The program rendered in- cluded an interesting address on Canadian history and prog ress by E. T. Applewhaite and w. R. Tooth; vocal and instru- mental numbers, and excellent fancy step dances. Miss Helen Knipple was crowned Queen of the May in a charming May Day Ceremony, with Misses Maureen Murphy and Ola Matheson as Maids of Honor. A pretty May pole dance was also presented by school child ren. A baseball game between the high school and a pickup team concluded the festivities.

on hand at present is believed to be around 600,000,000 ounc- es, and it is therefore assumed that at least one billion ounces would be purchased under the plan.
 Under the so-called "permis- sive" feature of the program, the course to be pursued by the President in acquiring the 25 per cent reserve would be left to him. Under the agreement no fixed rate of purchases would be required nor is any limit for the buying of silver imposed. The naturalization of silver is also left to the Presidents discretion.

 Estimates of government holdings were said to go as high as 60 million ounces. Most of it was said to have been bought we'll under 50 cents an ounce, the figure mentioned in Washington reports as the probable level of future gov ernment purchases.

Liquor Board Seeks Curb
 For Illicit Booze Traffic

With a view to curbing illic- it traffic in alcoholic liquors and particularly shipments to the Territory which might be employed in bootlegging oper- ations, the Territorial Board of Liquor Control has issued a new regulation which make it unlawful for any firm or corp oration to solicit orders for or to sell any intoxicating liquors in the Territory if not duly li- censed under the provisions of Chapter Fl, of the 1883 Ses- sion Laws of Alaska.
 The regulation also provides that it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation outside of the Territory to con- sign intoxicating liquors of any kind to anyone in the Territory not holding a liquor license.
 Shipments made to the Terr- itory contrary to the regulat- ions are to be considered con- traband and subject to conf:s- cation, except in the case of sacramental wines, to which the regulations do not apply.

Mrs. A. J. Mayer Has
 Dangerous Experience

To be knocked down by a hurtling timber log as it dashed at railway speed from the end of an inclined log chute and to be carried for approximately a dozen yards on the catapulting timber before it came to rest iii a snowbank was the recent highly dangerous experience of Mrs. Albert J. Mayer at the Mayer lumber mill on the north fork of Texas creek
 While watching her husband and an assistant send logs for the mill down the steeply in- clined chute, Mrs. Mayer was suddenly startled to see a log emerge and head swiftly in her direction. Before she could scarcely draw a breath it was upon her. She attempted to evade it by jumping to one side and thrusting out one hand to hold it off. The effort appar- ently saved her from being struck head on by the log but the heavy timber smashed against one leg, lciosening and severely bruising the liga- ments below the knee, and flung her face down on top of the swift-speeding tr u n k, which hurtled onward until halted by the snow. Forum ately the plunging log did not swere from it's course or roll over, or a more serious sequel would probobly have to be written. As it was, she had most of her upper teeth on one side loosened by the impact of her head with the log and also sustained a severely cut upper lip, in addition to the leg injur- ies. She also suffered severely from shock and fright and was confined to bed over a week.

Dimond
 Delegate

The bill referred to in the above message, known as H.R. 5665, was introduced by MT. Dimond May IT, 1933,and pro- vides as follows:
 A. BILL
 Authorizing the control of floods in the Salmon River, Alaska.
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.
 That the project of preven- tion and control of floods in the Salmon River, Alaska, rec,om- mended in the report of the Chief of Engineers United States Army, in House Docu- ment Numbered 229, Seventy second Congress, is hereby adopted and authorized and shall be prosecuted under the direction of the Secretary of War and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers in accord ance with the plan recom- mended in such report and sub- ject to the conditions set forth therein.
 The project referred to in the bill was prepared by the War department engineers office two years ago after extensive investigation and surveys and involves federal expenditures approximating $42,00O, most of which would be devoted to labor costs, with resultant ben efits to local workers.
 The plan involves construct ion of permanent revetments along the east bank of the river from a half mile or so north of Hyder to the mouth of the riv- CT a short distance below the town. | Passage of the bill by the Senate may be confidently ex- pected within a brief period if no unexpected obstacles develop.

OWNERS TO DEVELOP
 STAR GOLD GROUP
 ON MARMOT RIVER

Territorial Representative J. K. Green and his associates in the ownership of the Star group in the Marm'ot River section will undertake an ex- tensive development program on that highly promising gold property as soon as supplies and equipment due to arrive on the next ore boat can be trans ported to the scene of oper- ations, according to a state ment made to the Hearld by MT. Green following his re- turn Thursday morning from a conference with his associates in Seattle.
 This work is to be done en- tirely at the expense of the owners, who include, in addit- ion to MT. Green, Messrs. L. Crosby and George Mehlfeld, of Seattle, and Eli Watland, of Stewart. MT. Mehlfeld is now here and MT. Crosby, who is a prominent Seattle advertising man, is expected to visit the district later in the season. One of the main objectives of this season's operations will be to take out as large a quan- tity of ore as can be obtained for smelter tests, to determine as far as possible the actual working values, MT. Green said.
 A secondary objective will be to prepare the property for a complete geological and min geological examination as preliminary to future develop ment and the organization of a company to take over and op- crate the ground.
 To facilitate transportation of supplies and ore during the season, small aerial tramway about 500 feet in length will be installed between the property and the government trail on the Marm'ot. Cable and other equipment for the tram is now enroute north. A scow will al- so be employed in transport ing ore on the river.
 MT. Green stated that the project is receiving every ass istance from h Premier Gold Mining Company in the matter of supply transpIortaf- ion from the south and local dockage facilities and the B. C. government road bureau has consented to an eXteneion of a road to the property.
 The Star group is situated be- tween the north and south forks of the Marmot and is one of the largest and most favorably regarded gold prop ties in the Portland Canal dist rict. The group contains an extensive series of ore show ing from which gold values up to three ounces per ton have been obtained in earlier ex-

WORLD CONFERENCE
 MAY FOLLOW ON
 U. s. SILVER ACTION

CiOu 'O1 SIlNCI lHdy ICouit Alohi the silver rehabilitation pro- gram upon which President Roosevelt and the Senate sil- yer bloc have agreed.
 This was the opinion ex- pressed by silver leaders fol- lowing the announcement last week that "a definite program had been formulated for add ing silver to the metallic mon- etary reserve.
 Such a barley might be held within year as a result of forces which would be set in motion by the passage of the proposed silver legislation, sill yer leaders said.
 It is believed in some quar- ter1 that an international agreement on silver is being applDached, or is at least un- der discussion, and that the latest administration moves have been largely dictated by that possibility.
 Additional details of the new silver proposals disclose that under the naturalization plan the government would take ov- CT all free silver stocks except silver coins, fabricated silver and metal used under com- mercial licenses.
 Immediate naturalization of silver if the plan is adopted is not expected unless silver hold CTS attempt to ship the metal abroad in quantity to hold out for a higher price than will be offered by the government in connection with the building up of the proposed 25 per cent of the nations metallic monet ary reservesby means of silver. It is definitely stated that the government price will not ex- ceed 50 cents an ounce.
 Under the mandatory pro- vision of the proposed measure Congress would authorize and direct the President to build up a silver monetary reserve of 25 per cent in relation to 75 per cent of gold. As the present gold reserves approximate $7,500,00O,000, one-fourth of this, or $1,875, 100000, would represent the silver monetary backing when the scheduled ratio has been reached.
 The silver so acquired at 50 cents per ounce would be val ued by the Treasury at $1.29 an ounce and against each ounce would be issued a silver certificate of the face value of $1. Thus the government would profit to the extent of 79 cents per ounce on all sill yer purchased. As the avail- able domestic silver supply is estimated at 25O,0O0,O00 ounc- es, a profit iof approximately $197,500,O00 would be real ized from it's purchase. Silver

A LOT of far-reaching consequences can
\ grow out Of an innocent-looking little
declaration of policy. If you dig back far
enough, you will find that most of today's tur-
mol about the proper functions of the MIRA
hinges on our new assumption that the ma
tionaI government has direct and ineScap-
able duty in regard to its unemployed citi-
zens.
This assumption grew up during the de-
preston It's worth remembering that it is
a comparatively new thing in American life.
BY the old tradition. the government was sup
posed to keep its hands off such matters. If
industry couldn't employ the men it normally
employed, there was nothing in particular that
Washington was expected to do about it.
We found that that didn't work very well.
The presence in this country of unempIoy-
ment a huge scale was too great strain
on the social fabric So we became convinced
that unemployment was thing which the
national government must take in hand, and
this conviction found expression in the Off
cial announcements of the new administra-
ton.
That is what brought us to our present
tangle in the NRA.
Industry, says the administration. must
hire more men 1t must do this by the process
of shortening working hours, and it must raise
wages at the same time. so that the men whose
hours are cut will not suffer any decrease in
income.
Industry replies that it can not do any,
thing of the kind and operate at a profit;
and there is no reason to doubt that, in many,
many cases. this is the exact truth.
What then, is the MISUNDERSTANDING in
mind the all-important fact that care for the
unemployed has been accepted as govern
ment duty?
The alternative, clearly, is for the govern
men to go on making jobs for the jobless If
private industry can't do it, the government
must The enormously expensive CWA must
be continued, even expanded. More millions
must be pumped into public works
And the money for this must come from
taXes-which, in large part, must oe collected
from industry
These are the choices that face us today.
They present about as tough problem as
industry and government possibly could be
asked to solve; and they arise, ultimately,
because Of our new belief that unemployment
is a direct concern of the government.
