GOLDEN STREAM IS co M ING OUT
 OF NORTH NOW
Shipments from Many AL aska Districts On Way
 to Assay Office
RAINY SEASON HAS
 BEEN OF ASSISTANCE
Predicted that Yellow Met. al Yield May Reach
 Eighteen Million

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct 15.- A stream of golden wealth is pour ing out of the interior Alaska min ing camps from Fall cleanups which has so far totalled one million dol- lars.
 The stream of gold has been passing through Anchorage for Se- attle and the United States Assay Office there.
 The gold has been coming by airplane, mail and express, from Fairbanks, Ruby, Iditarod, Flat, Ophir, Innoko, Koyukuk, Hot Springs and numerous other camps.
 Rain Is Assistance
 An extremely rainy season the latter part of the summer and the installation of numerous new drag lines, hydraulic and dredge out fits contributed vastly to the great yield.
 The shipments going through the Anchorage banks and other sources indicate the years gold yield will far exceed that of last years to- tai ounces thr ughout Alaska, which were valued at more than ten million dollars, and with added total ounces may give Alaska a notwithstanding yield this season of between eighteen and twenty million dollars.

 That the bonus question is cer- tain to receive much of the con- vention's time is assured with some believing the President may make another dash to the convention as he did once before in an attempt to quell any uprising for payment of compensation.

GEN. JOHNSON TO SOON TAKE
 AUTHORS ROLE
Speculation Is Made as to Wh at Resigned NRA
 Chief Contemplates
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15- The best guess among those close to General Johnson, resigned admin istrator of NRA is that his next appearance in the limelight from which he has just removed himself will be in the role of an author.
 There have been hints that the man who for more than year in- trigued the imagination of the country by his torrid oratory and picturesque phrasing is plotting a book detailing the part he played in MIRA.
 Without doubt such tome by the General would make highly in- teresting reading. There is some question, however, as to how far Johnson would permit himself to go should he undertake to chroni- cle the flight of the Blue Eagle.
 For all the fire and smoke which marked the period in which he charted the birds course, there never was any doubt in the minds of even his severest critics of his intense loyalty and devotion to the President and his administration.
 That fact might temper the Gen. erals pen.

BERLIN, Oct. LA campaign is under way in Germany to assure the public that they need have no fears of a textile shortage, that there is no necessity of stocking up and hoarding clothes, and that un- der no circumstances are the pa per clothes" of world war days to return.
 One of the latest steps in this direction was an impressive style show at one of the leading hotels, where dozens of Berlin's most beau- tiful mannequins paraded in gowns and garments of various "artifi- cial' materials.
 Synthetic Silks Simmer
 The mannequins tripped down carpeted aisles, in the glare of the spotlights, in winter coats and frocks made of artificial wool" They shimmered in the spotlights with evening gowns of ''fibrous' material.
 They posed for photographs in various fashion creations made from artificial silks" They demon strated lace" gowns, the materials for which were strictly German.
 Officials in charge of the show pleaded with the women spectators drawn from Berlin society for the most part, to purchase clothes of German materials" as matter of patriotic assistance to German economy, as well as a proof to them selves that the materials were full ly as good as imported textiles.
 Experts See Peril in Rain
 That the new materials are as good as claimed is being dis puted, however, by some experts They warn that the artificial wools silks, and laces, created from chem ical treatment and processing of .(Nnnf{nsrnI Dx, Donn Txun

Former President of Frdrlce Dies; Vas Just Worn Out, Is
 General Opinion of Doctors

PARIS, Oct. 15.-Raymond Poir- care, former Premier and war-time President of France, is dead.
 Death came after short illness that doctors thought was not serious. He was just worn out, they said.
 Poincare will be given a na- tional funeral next Saturday.
 Most Valuable Citizen
 In the minds of a vast number of his fellow w-countrymen, Raymond Poincare was the most useful and valuable citizen of France of his time. He also attained distinction as one of the worlds greatest in- tellects.
 His career, marked as it was by the ups and downs of fortune, taught the infinite value of talk ing pains and the profit that can be had from making every minute count. It also demonstrated that a straight line of conduct prevails
 
 Universally Praised
 No French statesmen has been criticized more than has been Poin- care, yet few have achieved more that will be universally praised. He enjoyed the adulation of his fellow citizens and suffered their displeasure. After being lifted to the highest post in the Govern ment and to the pinnacle of popu- larity, he lost favor with the public, was even accused of malfeasance in office and was threatened with trial before a high court for what was, in fact, meritorious act in behalf of his country.
 Poincare endured most of the injustices that can be heaped upon public man, but his straight forwardness and his unflagging de- votion to the welfare of his country prevailed and reversed the pre- judiced judgment of his critics. Compel's Respect
 It was said that nobody suffered more anguish from the outbreak of the World War than Poincare, yet he was accused of helping to pro- yoke it. None in France was 6 stouter Republican, yet his political adyersaries persisted in chasing him among the reactionaries. Be- fore ending his public career of nearly two score and ten years however, he compelled the respect of his political opponents and had outlived most of the legends that had been spread to his detriment He guided his country in three great emergencies through danger ous passes and in 1920 the French Parliament declared that Poincare had deserved well of the father land" M. Poincare, born August 2, 1880 at Bar le Due in Lorraine, was of distinguished, though not aristo- cratic orgin. He came from fam fly of philosophers and mathe- maticians, explaining the precision of his thought, the compelling logic of his argument and accounting for his stern republicanism. Hi father was a distinguished engineer and functionary of the State, anc his first cousin was Henri Poincare the great mathematician.
 In the beginning. Raymond Poin- care wanted to write poetry, bui
