LAPSED JUAL|N CLAIMS STAkED
 BY LOCAL MEN
IF a u l kner Restakes 2( Claims at Berners Bay
 for Vanophem Interests

What is believed to herald re- sumption of development activities at Berner's Bay in the not distant future was the stalking recently ol 20 lode claims in that district by H. l.. Faulkner and Norman Ban- field for Samuel T. Shaw, Jr., who is connected with Jean Vanophem Belgian capitalist, who has headed interests who have held the Jualir properties for several years.
 The claims, MT. Faulkner said are a portion of the Jualin group which had been allowed to lapse during the past few years. They were restaked for the purpose of consolidating the entire group.
 During tae1r work on the claims MT. Faulkner and MT. Banfield had a none too comfortable encounter with big female brown bear. On that day they were packing quite a load up the hill and left their only rifle in camp. Their progress was halted abruptly by the brute, and nearby the two men heard the sound of two cubs.
 They made all the noise they could and, after looking them over for few minutes. the bear turned and slowly moved off into the brush. She took the same course that the men had to go, and dis appeared from sight. As they stood and debated what to do, they heard a noise to one side and tuned to see the old bear peering at them through an opening a few yards away.
 She didn't look any too friendly to them, so with one accord they dropped their loads and each climb ed the three nearest him. The bear looked them over deliberately for a time and then moved off into the woods again to rejoin her cubs. The men waited a little while and when she didn't reappear they proceeded on their way with lots of caution. The bear was not seen nor heard again.

RICHTHAND MAN OF CHANCELLOR
 GIVES WARNING
Rudolph Hess Dehes Pos sible Invaders of Germany
 in Speech Yesterday PLEADS WITH FRANCE
 FOR UNDERSTANDING Declares War Would Mean Unhappiness for Whole
 World-Wants Peace

KOENIGSBURG, Germany, July 9,-Rudolph Hess, Cabinet Minister known as Chaniellor Adolf Hitler's second self, in an address made Sunday pleaded for an understand ing with France.
 Hess also sounded a warning against impending war, and defied any nation to invade Germany
 The speech was broadcast over Germany and translations were put on the air for the entire world.
 Regarded As Amazing
 The speech is regarded as amaz- ing not only because of it's appeal to France but also because of its implied warning that war threat ems Europe, and because of Ger many's defiance of invaders.
 Switching suddenly from Ger man to French, in describing the miseries of war, Hess declared they mean "unhappiness for us, unhap- piness for you, and unhappiness for all of the world"
 The German minister warned that Germany would defend her self to the last man against in- vaders.
 Appeal Fer Peace
 Shortly before closing the ad- dress, he paid tribute to the pact with Poland, and pleaded as fol- lows:
 May the governments of the other people along the other front iers of the Reich also soon see that there is greater security through peaceful pacts of understanding rather than in heaped up war materials. That's our hope"
 RATHER SKEPTICAL
 PARIS, July 9. = Cynicism ap- peared as the keynote of the French reaction to the olive branch waved by Germany.
 Official comment is lacking but political observers ascribed the gesture of friendship made by Ru- dolph Hess, Hitler aide, to two sources in an effort to wipe out the memory of the bloody purging during the second revolution and activities of the French Foreign Minister in London.
 Editorial comment of all news papers reflected skepticism of the sincerity of the overtures.

Prices Head Skyward

The price Of everything you buy is going up.
That and not the fact that the U. S. Treas
ury is going to pay exactly 50.0lc an ounce for
the silver it nationalized was the big news
that Washington was talking about when Sec.
Morgenthau made his announcement Of the lat
est step in Roosevelt's initiation program.
Informed observers were surprised at the sur
prise the naturalization announcement caused.
Pres. Roosevelt has said over and over that he
is going to use the almost unlimited powers Con
gress has given him to assist in increasing dom
estic prices as the silver edict put it. Yet each
move he makes along that well-defined line
seems to cause surprise.
During the summer there has been a down
turn in prices due to bad business and a result
ant slump in retail buying. Roosevelt meets
that problem by another shot in the arm Of slim
ulating initiation. If this one doesn't work, there
will be another and still another.

Chamber Of Commerce
Answers F. D. R. On
Power

WASHINGTON. -(FP)-"It takes
more than cheap power to bring about
wholesale home identification, Presi-
dent Roosevelt"
This, in effect, is what the U. S.
Chamber Of Commerce has declared in
a report just issued on trends in the
cost and use of electric light and power
in homes, and the difficulties in home
electrification. The report was re-
leased after President Roosevelt's re-
cent speech in the Northwest, in which
he promised to increase governmental
participation in power activities for
the common good.
Not cheap rates, but other factors,
such as appliance costs, incomes, COM
petition and so on, are the influences
which determine how widespread the
use of electrical power in the homes
shall be, the report states. For appli-
ances alone, it asserts, "the general
electrification of our homes would re-
quire an Investment of Is or 20 bill
lions of dollars"
Widespread unemployment and a
low standard OF living for low-paid
workers reduce the market, the report
hints. Because of customs Of living
and general social conditions" the best
markets for electric appliance sales
men have been covered, the report
points out. Further sales must en-
counter lower incomes, greater COM
petition, higher distribution costs for
energy and greater sales resistance"
