$500,000 GIFT
TO HELP ARTS,

A gift of $500,0OO in trust has
been made by an anonymous
donor jointly to the American
Institute of Arts and Letters and
to the American Academy of
Arts and Letters, affiliated or
ganizations.
Announcement of the gift was
made by Wilbur L. Cross, Gov
ernor Of Connecticut and presi-
dent Of the National Institute
of Arts and Letters. Broad ad.
ministrative powers given with
the trust enable the organiza-
tions to use the income for such
purposes as they deem proper.
In conformity with the pur.
poses of both organizations, the
money will be utilized to further
arts and letters in some sub
Stantial way. AS yet neither or
ganization has reached any de-
ciSion on the most effective
means of accomplishing this. 1t
is expected that each body will
elect committees to study the
matter.
The possibility of turning some
of the income into scholarships
for promising students of arts
and letters will be considered,
although the feeling exists in
some quarters that less need
exists for this type of art and
literary encouragement than for
others.
Spending some of the income
for additional concerts and art
exhibitions in the joint buildings
of the two organizations may be
considered also.
The gift is in the form of a
stock not listed on the New York
Stock Exchange. it was said, and
while the par value is $500,000,
the market value Is considerably
higher and the income large
enough to enable the organiza-
tions to accomplish substantial
results.

CANNED SALMON INDUSTRY LOOKS
 TO RECORD YEAR
Executive Optimistic Owe r l936 as Big Advertising
 Campaign Mapped

SEATTLE, Dec 26.-With inven- tories down and plans completed to stimulate an already rising con- sumer demand through aggressive and exciting advertising, the Am erican canned salmon industry looks forward to record year in lo35, according to Humphrey o. Roberts, President of the Northwest Salmon Gamers Association.
 A recent survey of hundreds Of distributors shows that dealer stocks ot canned salmon are only moder- ate at present and are decreasing from month to month, MT. Roberts stated. Inventories at Pacific Coast canneries, he said, dropped l9 per cent in the year ending December 1, 1885.
 While salmon packers are pleas ed with this progress MT. Roberts said, they consider the past year as merely a step towards far greater c on su mer demand for salmon throughout the country. Confident a real opportunity exists, they have decided to back their judgment with an aggressive national adver- tising campaign featuring salmon's Big Three values-nutrition, appe- tite appeal and economy. Eighty five per cent of average canned pack of the industry is supporting

the properties are in debt at the time the application is made. it is necessary to secure an agreement from the creditors that their in- debtedness will be subordinated to that of the Government.
 Furthermore, sll payments which have been agreed to be made on leases or royalties or payments for property must be waived and like wise subordinated to the Govern ment loan. In other words, the REC loan becomes a first lien on the property regardless of any prev ious indebtedness or agreements and unless 1t can be arranged to give the REC loan such priority, it lis useless to make application for Government funds. ef4 Technical Aid Not Needed An engineers report is not neces- sary to be attached to the original application, and approvals can be obtained even though an engineer has never examined the property.
 Likewise, there is no need of legal advice in making applications. The application blanks are simple and understandable and can be filled out by any one and plain, simple statements made without equivocation can get the D p1ioa tion farther than any attempt to complicate by the use of many words and unnecessary exhibits.
 No Unwaterihg Loans
 One policy which is clearly de- fined is that the property seeking the loan must be accessible for ex- animation by REC engineers This rules out properties where un- watering is necessary in order to make an examination, hence it is useless to make an application for funds to unwater.
 If, however. property has show ings in tunnels or other accessible places and these showings are suf- ficient, to warrant further exam ination and further examination requires unwatering, it is possible to get a loan for that purpose.
 Glass B loans are for develop ment only and cannot be used for the construction of milling plants The theory is that if loan un- covers sufficient ore values, it may possibly be granted a second de- velopment loan for further explora- ton, and if continued development shows ore in sight in quantity to justify milling or other plants, the property could then qualify for Class A loan to build the neces- sary plants to put it on produc- ing basis.
 ff Must Have All Data
 From legal viewpoint one of the most difficult things to pro vide is any transcript of title or certification of ownership. Some of those who complain of the diffi- culties encountered from the legal department Of REC will do well to make sure that their applica- ton gives just as complete informa ton as possible as to the owner ship of the property.

 'eThe decision of the salmon in- dustry to launch this big drive is of real significance to the trade, 7 MT. Roberts continued. Tt means wider markets, more sales, and greater profits all along the line. Canned salmon gives all house. wives an answer to the perennial problem of more variety and for others it offers a ready solution to food budget problems. This is cer- tain to be reflected at the cash register
 All details of the 1886 salmon campaign have not yet been com pleted Initial advertising and mer- chandising plans have been approv- ed by the Industry Committee and will be under way in time to de- velop real momentum for the Lenten season. The drive will then continue at high speed throughout the rest of the year, according to officials.

REC LOANS,TO5 MINING N CLAIMS
 AR|El.ExP||L|.AI|NlEED ]. |lEE
Commissionerao of Mines Re veals Terms of Ma
 tional Loan, Act

Copies of a summary of Recon struction Finance. Corporation mine loan policies and rules, contained in The Mining Journal, have been sent to various organizations throughout Alaska by Territorial Commissioner of Mines B. D. Stew art. Application blanks and addi- tional information are available through his office, Stewart added.
 Applications for the loans for development purposes can be made by corporations, partnerships or in- dividuals and they are subject to repayment by the proceeds of the properties being loaned upon ac- cording to the report Should the money expended upon the property fail to develop the values neces- sary to pay off the loan, 1t is the United States Government which pockets the loss.
 Loans Repayable Monthly
 The idea seems to be to make the loans of certain amount up to S20,O00, payable monthly or semi monthly, based upon the require ments of the individual property and the program for development which may be approved. The idea back of this Is just the same as in the development of any mining prospect, the progress of each month is what justifies the ex- penditure for the next month.
 The REC reserves the right to stop these month to-month pay ments when, in the opinion of their examiners, the development is not showing up sufficiently encouraging to justify continued expenditures. It is felt, however, that the policy of the examiners will be liberal in this respect as the only way that the Government can get its money back Is to find the ore in the mine, and to stop operations means that a loss viii be taken
 Class B Loans
 A Glass B Mine Loan is defined as a loan exclusively for develop ment purposes. It is limited to $20,000 in a single grant and ap- plies only to properties in which the major value are gold and Tor silver andlor tin Properties in which the principal values are the base metals are not within the scope of the law authorizing the REC to make these loans.
 There is, of course, a question of determining where the major values lie and it does not rule out a property if copper, lead or zinc be present. if the silver and gold values are such as to indicate that further development will show gold and silver values sufficient to re- gard the property as potential profitable producer of those metals.
 Six Per Cent Interest
 . The Glass B loans are made at per cent interest and are secured by a first mortgage on the mining properties on which the money is to be expended. Manner of repay ment of loans is not generally fixed in any specific way, i. e., with no hard and fast rule, but the REC is requiring that all income from sale of ore or concentrates be i'm pounded and not allowed to be used for further development.
 Federal Loan Primary
 An important point is that the loans cannot be used to pay off present indebtedness and, in case
