 Kohlhepp, Dr. E. H. Kaser and H. Is. Shelly Graves. They planned to rendezvous near Rake and spread put over the Rocky Pass country. Every memberof the party was ia crack shot and it was expected that they would bring back the legal limit of plunder.
 The new house being erected for MT. and Mrs. Clarence Carpenter, on Fourth Street was nearly com-
 pletion. It was in the hands of painters and expected to be finish ed soon. It was one of the few concrete houses built in Juneau. Plans for Elks' carnival week
 were attracting interest in this en- tire district and excursion parties were being formed ct Skagway, Wrangell and other communities for trips to Juneau during the week. Bowman and Purcell, en- tertainers from Tate's in Seattle
 were aboard the Jefferson on their way north and everything was set

/ to deceive the public and issued in
the name of President Roosevelt.
Il refer in particular to the state
ment of Richberg which alleged that
5000 900 persons had been re-em-
ployed by the New Deal. William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, who knows the
figures on employment. stated last
week that there were almost 100000
less persons employed now than be-
fore the New Deal started. This is
another Roosevelt attempt to deceive
the people of the United States.
Last week Roosevelt's man Rich
berg asserted 100000 families will
be on the dole by February against
100000 now. In this latest report
he says the country has come out
of the depression and is on the way
to prosperity.
Under press censorship We would
not be able to point out these bare

Roosevelt is attempting to protect
himself under cloak of press CEN

ORE WASTE YIELDS
COSTL|EST METAL
Chemical Society Is Shown
Substance Worth Mil

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, September 1.-THE
rarest metal on earth-worth more
than 100000 an ounce-waS ex-
hibited yesterday before the American
Chemistry Society by an assistant
chemistry professor who announced
the first isolation of proactinium.
A. v. Brosse brought from the
University of Chicago one-tenth of
a gram of the metal, which he sue
ceeded in isolating week ago, after
years of work.
Hard and silvery, it clung to fine,
one-inch thread of tungsten like drop
lets of mercury.
Its scientific and medical possibili-
ties are wide. 1t emits the same kind
of "alpha, beta and gamma" rays
as radium, and Dr. Brosse said its
gamma" rays, which are the ones
used in medicine, will penetrate lead
more deeply than those of radium.
It's alpha" rays, which are fast
travelling particles, fly farther than
similar particles from radium.
Proactinium has a "halflife" of
$4,000 years. which means that in
that period it will radiate away half
of its metallic substance. Radium
has "half-life" of 1900 years.
This tenth of gram is all the pro-
actinium which could be squeezed
chemically out of a ton of ore. 1t

BUILDING To MD
CLERICAL CLASS

Revival Of building, including
modernization and the building
of new homes, will go far toward
u utilizing 100000 unemployed
white collar workers, says E. L,
Gilbert, eastern editor of Ameri'
can Builder magazine. He says:
Normally more than 100000
white collar workers are directly
employed by the building indus
try, and revival of building to
an extent equal to half the an
nual volume of the SOcalled
boom years would result in the
unemployment of hundreds of
thousands of clerks, StenOg-
raphers, bookkeepers, agents,
designers, dra TT m n, sales
people and other white collar
workers.
Reference to the 1880 census
reports shows how conservative
such an estimate may be con-
sidered. Contractors and build
ers could easily add 100000
white collar workers with a re-
turn of good business; real es-
tate, including sales, would &C
count for the unemployment of
another 25O,OOO; retail lumber
and supply yards and offices
could use $4,000 additional Of
flee employees; lumber manufac"
turing concerns would need at
least $4,000 more white collar
workers and other building
product manufacturing con-
Germs could add $4,000.
"The professional and semi
professional classificatiOns, such
as lawyers, architects, engineers,
appraisers, abstractOrS, ETC.,
would be increased by at least
$4,000 and a very conservative
figure of $4,000 would barely
cover miscellaneous white col.
lar workers. This makes a total
of 100000 who could be re-
employed in nOnmechanical, Of
flee and specialized capacities.

prospects for expansion of Wash
ington. However, the financial
history of subways is nightmare
to financiers.
In the present state of affairs
it is almost certain that subways
of any length in this city would
require Federal legislation and
financing. SubWays cost $4,000
a mile, it is said by engineers.
Several subway proposals are be-
fore the various authorities. One
under the south end of the White
House grounds, for east-west traf-
fic; another from the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing to Four
teenth and Decatur SITS. N. w.
Meantime the Public Utilities
Commission has not abandoned
any of it's plans for bus line
changes and additions. The Bee
ler proposals for a superserVlce
of express busses from outlying
points are still live matters. The
bus question may be expected to
be a part of forthcoming orders
from the commission.

Increasing evidence that many

method of building a "duckunder"
at either Of these points is a prob
lem.
It is pointed out that the Law
gives the Public Utilities Commits
sion power to make reasonable
orders, but it is believed that there
would be a wide opportunity for
argument as to whether a com
mission order for a "duckunder"
would be reasonable in view of the
expense of such an operation.
District highway officials point
out that "duckunder" at either
of these circles would mean that
the street would have to be ex-
cavated for some 200 yards on
each side of the circle, which
would seriously interfere with Or
dinary street traffic.
Partial Solution Seen
Before Congress convenes there
is a possibility that these ques-
tions will be partly solved, at
least, and the Public Utilities Com
mission, the National Park and
Planning Service and other ad-
miniStrative bodies will have
solved the present track problems
and will be ready for future plan
ming.
This involves subways, but the
big problem now is not an en-
gineering one but is a matter OF
money. Officials of the utilities

CREDIT REACHES
S41,370,000
FOR HOMES

CHICAGO, Dec. 8.-Statistics
on residential building permits,
alterations and repairs for Sep
tember and october reflect di-
rectly the $41,37O,OoO worth of
home owner credit extended by
the building and loan associations
to lift employment in the building
trades.
This is pointed out by Morton
Bodfish, executive vice president
of the United States Building and
Loan League, in comments on the
building and loan associations
part in the home modernization
drive. 1t developed from a recent
survey by the league the associa-
tions made $17,997 900 worth OF
repair and modernization loans,
and II million dollars of new con-
Struction loans during these two
months and it has spent, in Oc.
tober alone, $6,201, 900 to. repair
home properties to which they
hold title.
Mr.. Bodfish explained the asso-
Citations had found modernizers
more inclined to choose their own
long-used credit plan with eight to
11-year maturity and hence had
been unable to register most of
these loans for the insurance,
which is limited to five-year obli-
cations. The Housing Admins
Administration has insured 20
million dollars worth of moderni-
zation loans for all types of insti-
tutions, and the building and loan
figures, SO per cent Of which may
be counted as additional, bring the
total financing for the moderniza-
tion drive up to some As million
dollars.
