Give The Prospector Chance To Make Good
Fairbanks News-Miner)

Fairbanks News-Miner)
 The day is at hand when many who has been employed in Interior Alaska for the summer has a full poke from his summer earnings. Many of them would like to get opportunity to work ground where they would have chances of making something.
 Not all in this category know where to locate likely looking ground but would be willing to work as leasers laymen Thousands of claims are lying idle in this realm, held by owners who do nothing but the scant assessment work from year to year, some having held the ground tied up in that un- progressive and unprotable condition for many years
 It will be good business for every claim owner who is not working the ground to give others the chance fair to work it for him. Idle ground does good
 Many of the owners have held ground on specu- aton and otherwise idle for so many years that they now are at the twilight stage of life and if they do not get something out of the ground in short order they will get nothing.
 All shrewd owners of any kind of property real ire that they should develop it make it productive in way make it live proposton-not let it lie sagnant It is far better to get percentage cut of live and producing property than to hold 1t hopelessly inactive whole
 The big trick in any enterprise is to keep 1t a going concern and revenue producer.
 The country is witnessing the spectacle now of hundreds of old timers annually going over the last big divide not few leaving behind them idle claims and unharvested paystreaks which would have yielded them something handsome had they but given the ether chance to work them.
 The country has hundreds of men this season well able and keen physically and with the ambition to get to work on winter mining propositions
 Owners who do nothing with their ground and do not give these willing chance are cheating themselves and the country at large.
 Every astute property owner not in position to work will be doing himself the best possible turn, whether has placer or hard rock properties that can worked in winter by looking up some of these capable men and getting them busy the properties, It will pay the owner help the others and help make the prosperous than ever
 Don't keep mining property in cold storage. Make it produce-and reap the rewards while still alive and able to enjoy them-for when you're gone you'll be la long time dead-and your idle claims sorry monu- nent to your lost opportunities.
 Too many are content with hand-to-mouth ex- istence these days-when it's Uncle Sans hand Wash m

Petersburg Much Improved States
 Roden on Return
Street and Harbor Work Is Progressing, Declares
 Senator

Petersburg is now a mighty fine little city, declared Senator Henry Roden today on his return from that city aboard the steamer North Sea this morning.
 Street work in Petersburg is about finished, and with its new side walks and board streets replacing the old dirt ones, the city has a modern aspect. Work on dredging the harbor is progressing, and soon boats up to twenty-four foot draft will be able to enter the harbor at any stage of the tide, quite cas- fly. There will be plenty of room for small boats to come up to the floats, MT. Roden said
 The shrimp and crab business is doing well, stated MT Roden, who went to Petersburg week ago on the M. s. Zapora, on a business trip.

THREE DIE IN PIT
OF ENS|LAGE GAS
Rescue Attempts FoiIed by
Deadly Fumes in Mary
land Tragedy.
b. the Associated Press.

8" the Associated Press.
POPLAR SPRINGS, Md September
4.-Deadly ensilage gas, given off by
fermenting cattle feed, cost the lives
yesterday of a 9-year-old girl, her
mother, and the child's foster sister
in an old underground silo here.
The latter two were asphyxiated
when they sought to rescue the smaller
girl, who tumbled 8 feet into the pit
and smothered to death.
The dead: Anna Richards, 9; Mrs.
Ella Malinda Richards, 80, her
mother; Mary Sine, 19, her foster
sister.
The child. playing hide and seek
with two small neighbor boys, lost her
balance and dropped into an old ice
house in which green corn husks had
been stored. Mrs. Richards, sum-
moned by screams from the two boys,
jumped into the pit, attempted to
raise her daughter, and fell uncon-
scious.
Miss Sine, aided by Mrs. Allie HUI
yer, Mrs. Richards mother, lowered
a heavy ladder into the ice house
She climbed down to the level Of the
husks and lifted Annals body across
the lower rungS before she, too, was
overcome.
The two boys, William Hood, 6, and
his 4-year-old brother, Beverly, mean
while ran to the highway and sum-
moned a passing motorist. The latter,
whose name was not learned, got half
way down the ladder, began to faint,
and was dragged to safety by neigh
borS as he was slipping into the death
pit. Norman Becraft, employed in a
nearby garage, aided in pulling the
ladder, with Annas body across the
lower rung, up to the surface. The
ladder was lowered again and Becraft
descended it, picked up Miss Sine, but
felt his strength going and dropped
her to drag himself back up.
Bodies are Hooked.
He was nearly unconscious. Men
in the crowd then fashioned a hook
from pump rod, snagged the cloth
ing of the women and dragged them
out Of the pit.
A fire department rescue squad ap-
piled oxygen to the three in an un-
fruitful attempt to revive them. DR..
j. S. Grabill of Mount Airy pro-
nounced the victims dead
John Richards, the husband and
father of two Of the victims, was
working in q field with his only other
child, Calvin, II. He nearly COL
lapsed when he arrived at the home
and learned of the tragedy. He is
tenant of farm owned by the Hok-
brook Dairy Of Hyattsville.
Arrangements were made to take
the bodies to the former home of the
Richards family, near Mountain Falls
in the Winchester vicinity of Virginia,
for burial
DR.. E. Emmet Reid OF the chemistry
department of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity said the fermenting ensilage
generates enormous quantities of
carbon dioxide"
"The gas being half again as heavy
as air accumulates in pits" he said.
at is the same gas that is found in
some deep wells. Strictly speaking, it
does not poison, it suf1ocstes. know

ROOSEVELT PARTY
ASSA|LED BY REED.
Former Missouri Senator
Charges Defiance of
Constitution.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the ASSoclate0 fIesSs
PORTLAND, Me, September A.
Former United States Senator James
A. Reed of Missouri declared in an
address last night that mo one has
the right to say President Roosevelt
Is Democrat"
Reed is chairman of the National
Jeffersonian Democrats. an organiza-
ton opposed to reelection Of the
President. Reeds speech opened the
groups campaign in this State.
The fiery Missourian stressed what
he termed a bold effort to evade and
defy the Constitution" by the present
administration after asserting there
were three parties in the Nation, the
third of which he named as the
Roosevelt party, neither Republican
nor Democratic, but embracing every
shade from pink socialism to red
communism"
Sees Destruction.
THE principles of the Constitution
OF the United States are as true as
they were when Jefferson, Madison,
Pinckney and Washington and others
proclaimed them, and the people
adopted them =" Reed asserted.
But today we are confronted with
bold effort to evade and defy the
Constitution and the bill of rights
and to overthrow the very foundations
Of American civilization.
That is destruction and from de-
struction there can be no recovery"
Reed then turned back a dozen
years.
In 1924 a radical element appeared
as the Progressives," he said, with
Robert M. La Toilette as its candidate
for President. The platform Of the
party was almost entirely Socialistic.
La Toilette did not get very far,
but his adherentS did not give up.
In 1882 a conference of these so-called
Progressives was called-and four of
the delegates to that convention now
sit in the cabinet of the President.
They are Daniel C. Roper, Secretary
of Commerce; Harold L. Ickes, Secre-
tary of the Interior; Henry A. Wal
lace, Secretary of Agriculture, and
Henry Morgenthau, jr., Secretary OF
the Treasury"
Names Hopkins, Tugwell.
Others named by Reed as then
affiliated with the movement included
Harry L. Hopkins, relief administrator;
Rexford Tugwell, resettlement admin
istrator; Basil Manly, member of the
Federal Power Commission; Jay
Franklin and Edward F. McGrady,
Assistant Secretary of Labor.
Measured by these appointments
and by the nondescript advisers he
has called to his counSels, no one has

Acrat," the former Senator declared.

nominee from Reeds neighbor State
KansaS-he said:
II hold no brief for Gov. Landon
He is a Republican and I am a
Democrat. But this much say: He
has never undertaken to repudiate
the Constitution, to Sneer at its pre-
cepts or to contemptuously refer to
its authors. He has not assailed the
Supreme Court =. He has moi
proposed the confiscation of property
