LOSSES SEEN LESS

What the election turnover IN
the House may be is matter oil
endless speculation in Washington.
1t never has been doubted that the
Democrats were bound to lose a
considerable number of seats tradi-
tionally held by Republicans which
they captured in the 80 CONFUSION.
Now that the primaries are over
and afford some slim clue to what
is expected in November, there is
tendency among both party work
ers and political observers to re-
duce estimates of what the Demo-
cratic losses may be.
In any event, no such reduction
of the top-heavy Democratic vote
in the present House as to ease in
any great measure the problem for
party leaders in the next House
now seems indicated. They have
said privately all along that they
could spare two or three score votes
and improve the situationa Keep
ing such a party mass as 4sits in

tented proved at time a task be-
yond accomplishment. Men who had
that experience agree with Vice

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-What-
ever the outcome of the November
elections, lot of new faces will be
seen in the Seventy Fourth Con-
gress. Already the total of volun-
tary retirements in the house alone
runs up into an unusually large fig
ure.
Between two score and three
score members of the present House
will not be back, due to death, de-
sire or defeat Before the clerk
calls the next House to order to
elect a new speaker and get going
on the latest phase of the Roosevelt
program, death and defeat are GER

Gratis of the House swept in on the
Roosevelt tide in 1882 or who saw
their previous tnajorities leap up
ward in that year, we're deluded by
that fact. They dreamed of moving
ON to the Senate or perhaps of
becoming Governors. 1t was just a
dream for most of them. A large
flock of party lame ducks, even be-
fore election time, is the result.
Whether any of them are to get

MADRID, Spain, Oct. o. The
rebel bulwarks crumpled one by one
under the relentless pounding OF
Government guns.
Most of the clashes were marked
by feeble resistance against the
regulars.
Indications are the Spanish Re
public might be placed under a
military dictatorship however, as
northern Spain is completely shut
off from Madrid as fierce fighting
broke out again.
Two priests ana one civil guard
were burned alive at Navas, Cata-
lonia by rebels who covered them
with gasoline and cremated them.
Frontier Closed
The authorities have closed the
French frontier and even foreign
ers are not allowed to cross the
line to Paris.
Skirmishes between strikers and
soldiers are frequent all along the
coast from Santander 10 Hendaye,
according to reports.
One revolt leader said: eve still

will be shown when the morale of
the troops is further weakened by
our sniping campaign. The strikes
extend sufficiently to cause food

GOLD AND RECOVERY

Alaska, said experienced mining man recently IS
 nerazed potentially the greatest the world has ever known-and has scarcely been scratched is true that interest in increasing amounts is being directed toward this territory but the United States still might well take leaf from the page of Canada which has jumped ahead of this country gold producer.
 An army of prospectors estimated at 18OOO, has been busy digging in the hills and creeks this season. lured by the hope of mineral discovery Whatever their success it will rebound the credit of the mining industry the most potent influence combating depression and aiding Canada in her struggle for economic recovery Why not similar army prospecors for Alaska? We think of better way that the government could epend portion of it's lief money than in backing selected group of proSpecors and miners The field is here and thus escaping the pos bity that incoming prospectors might become burden up the territory encouraging results would be inevitable
 Alaska at this time is wide open for development in all fields, and studied plan which included besides placing farmers in the fertile valleys putting prospectors into the hills and creeks would awaken Alaska from her long doze of slow progress oaerness and supervaue the United States real opening of this great frontier would be small step along the road to economic recovery If doubts it. let him look back into his early American history.

W. Vosburgh of Stewart, B.C., in his capacity of district coroner. The poison is presumed to have been obtained from the Premier mill, where it is used in ore reduction.
