BAN ON TOURISTS
W|DENED BREACH
Germany's Retaliation Move
Blamed in Part for Aus

NEW YORK. July 81 Exclusion Of
German tourists from Austria by the
Reich more than q year ago IL given
here by an observer as one Of the
outstanding economic causes for the
present Austro-G German trouble.
Mildred s. .wertheimer Of the For
eign Policy Association, q research
organization. points to the nearly 40
per cent decrease in Austrian tour
ist business In the last season, drop
due in no small measure TO the 1000
mark visa fee imposed by Germany
June /. 1888, on her own nationals
after the late Chancellor DollfuSs en-
acted measures forbidding Nazi uni
forms, flags and insignia on Austrian
territory.
The London Economist. in COM
menting on the recent fazi terror
campaign. said They are mostly at
tempts to frighten away foreign tour
lists by derailing trains or otherwise
disorganiZing trafic. and there we're
more than 80 outrages within the first
"a hours Of the new campaign"
Tourist Figures Cited.
The tourist season in Austria, large
ly supported by Germans, Is dated
from November l to october 81 each
year. In the 1930-31 period there
were l,433,5 tourists in Austria, the
Foreign Policy Association statistics
show.
The next year the tourist traffic
dropped about los ,000 but in 1928
there were only .266 tourists count
ed. No figures are available for the
present season, but reports indicate
there was a sharp drop during the
February riots and later disorders.
The significance OF this, Miss Vert
heimer says, lies in the reaction of
the shopkeepers and innkeepers and
others who live directly from tourist
traffic. They held small resentment
against Germany, she said, but they
blamed most Of the policies of Red
Vienna" for their troubles.
Business Gains.
They were not so concerned with
general business. she said. Statistics
in the London Economist point to q
slight increase in imports and a sub
stantial increase in exports, an Aus
trian aim, in the early part of 1894
over 1898.
Judging from all kinds Of business
reports" says the Economist, lit is

Slides Blockade Texas Read

Frank Blasher came down from the head of Texas Creek Monday and reported that a large portion of the highway along the west fork is still blockaded by the extremely heavy snowslides of last winter and travelling is very difficult.
 A Bureau of Public Roads maintenance crew is working at one of the big slides in the netghborhood of Fifteen-mile but is encountering much diff culty, owing to the slide having brought down large numbers of trees, brush and other tim. Der debris from the upper slopes, MT. Flasher said. The snow and timber is packed so hard together in most of the slides that neither can be re- moved except with extreme difficulty and it will probably be close to the end of July be- fore the hig h way can be cleared for traffic, in the ,opin- ion of MT. Blasher.

GOVT. FORBIDS
 SILVER EXPORTS

Exports of silver from the United States except under special license by the United States Treasury is now forbid den, as a result of a Treasury pronouncement issued last Sat urday.
 The sudden embargo was ex plained by Secretary Morgen- thau as due Ito information that international spectators were making large shipments of sil- yer to foreign destinations. Morgenthau cited shipments billed to London or Bombay as evidence of such movements.
 Although not indicated in the reports, it is not improbable that the export movement rep resents some scheme of the speculators to evade the pro- fits tax imposed by the silver purchase bill on silver bought for speculative purposes.

Seal and Eagle Bounty
 Funds Are Exhausted

Territorial funds for payment of seal and eagle bounties are exhausted and no more claims can be paid until additional funds are made available by the 1885 legislature, according to an announcement last week by Territorial Treasurer w. G. Smith. The last legislature appropriated $25,00O for hair seal bounties and $7,500 for eagle bounties. A fee of S2 is paid for each hair seal scalp and $1 for each pair of eagle claws. Payments have been unusually heavy during the past Is months, as idle men have turned to eagle and seal hunting as a source of revenue.
 Claims presented for seal and eagle bounties will be held by the Treasurer's office until funds are appropriated.
 Funds for meeting wolf and coyote bounties, for which $25,000 was appropriated, are sufficient to- meet demands un- til the next legislature meets.

DELEGATE WORKING
 FOR RIVER PROJECT

Alaska Delegate A. J. Di- mond is now working with characteristic industry to se- cure an appropriation from the Public Works Administration for the Salmon River flood con. trol project, recently endorsed by special Congressional enact ment.
 In a letter relative to the pro- ject, written June 23, MT. Di- mond expresses hope that the project will be put through by the PWA, although he had been unable up to that time to secure any assurance of im- mediate construction.
 Yesterday" the letter states, "I spent considerable time with the officials of the Public Works Administration. They did not give me any assurance that our urgent requests would be complied with, the reason given being that Congress had n C. t appropriated sufficient money to do more than take care Iof projects already start ed and upon which it was nec- essary to continue work.
 "Of course I did not fail to say to them that the Hyder flood control project was the only project of that type which was approved at the recent session Iof Congress, and that the PWA would wish to com- ply with the will of Congress and of the President in all those matters"
 In order to have a written record of it, Delegate Dimond later addressed a letter to Sec retary Ickes, urging an allot- ment Iof funds. The Delegate stated he also had asked per mission to appear before Ehe special Board which consider. these projects for the PWA.
 According to MT. Dimond, the chairman of this Board, assist ant secretary Chapman, ap- pears to take a sympathetic view of applications for public works projects in Alaska
 After explaining that the latte passage lof the bill precluded having it budgeted by the War Department, approved by the Bureau of the Budget, and an appropriate item included in the deficiency appropriation bill, MT. Dimond concluded as follows:
 However, the bill is passed and sooner or later we shall get the work done. If the PWA refuses to undertake it, 1 think there will be no diff culty in having an item carried in the regular appropriation bill of next winter"

RYDER CELEBRATES
 NATIONS BIRTHDAY

Hyder celebrated the "glori- ous Fourth" in becoming man. ner last Wednesday, and under the most perfect weather cion- ditions seen here on that date in years.
 Although the festivities were not so elaborate as in more prosperous years, the celebrat- ion lacked nothing in zest and spirit and was keenly enjoyed by a large number from both sides of t h international boundary line.
 Sports for the children consti- tuted the major portion of the program and were followed by soft ball game between Hy- der and Stewart teams, in which the visitors edged out an II to 8 victory after a tie in the ninth inning at 8-8 all. The locals were badly handicapped by lack of practice and de- serve considerable credit for holding their own as well as they did against we'll practiced and younger opponents.
 The evening was given over to a baseball game between Premier and a picked Hyder- Stewart team. Premier won an easy victory by more effect i've pitching and batting. Score 9 to 5
 The children's sports resulted as follows:
 Tots race Bobby Johnson was first and Bert Thomas second, but the judges decided they were all winners and gave prizes to each contestant.
 Boys race, 6 to 8 years: c. Hutchings, J. Kristovich.
 Girls race, 6 to 8: Betty Blue, Emma Kristovich.
 Boys race, 8 to 10: T. Jad- noe, Mansell Gray.
 Girls race, 8 to 10: Annie Evich, Madeline McNeill.
