Vermont Solon Declares Time for Consistent Pol
 icy Regard Possessions

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-Sena- tor Ernest w Gibson of Vermont. said today he planned to introduce a bill in Congress providing for a new apartment with cabinet status to which would be assigned admin istration of all territorial and in sular possessions.
 Snator Gibson said: This bill is desirable in the interest of good government. It is time consistent policy was developed with regard to these possessions. At the present time. Alaska, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the Hawaiian Is- lands are under the Interior Depart ment while the Philippines are under the War Department and Samoa and Guam under the Navy Depart ment. Territories, of course, occu- py a different position than insular possessions and the bill I am pre- pairing does not change that position in the least"

 Season, Pt. Ommaney

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12,-Revised protective regulations for salmon fishing in Alaska have been approv- ed by Ernest G. Draper acting Sec retary of Commerce. No changes of major importance have been made because of the general stable condi- ton of Alaska fisheries Frank T. Bell. Commissioner of Fisheries. said,
 Compared with last year, six fewer trap sites will be opened as a re- suit of changes in trap locations. Bell said. Seasons in the Kuskokwim, Prince William Sound and three Southeast A la S k a districts were heightened because of satk sactory eS c D e m n IS to the spa ming grounds. Additional areas forN yill nets in Cook Inlet and the W t Coast of Prince of Wales Island were authorized to benefit small opera tors. Taking of kings for commer- cial purposes in the Yukon region was cut from 100000 to 50,O0O to as sure an adequate supply of salmon for food requirement of upriver resi- dents.
 Other revisions prohibit all fishing for herring in the vicinity of Point Ommaney prior to July 16 and ex- tend the herring season in Prince William Sound.
 The Point Ommaney season would be cut by six days under the new regulations, it would appear from a comparison with last years regula- tions, fisheries men here said.

Veteran Champion of Bl. metalism Passed Away
 Last Evening

MONTE NE, Arkansas, Feb 12.- William Hope (Coin) Harvey, ageo 85. veteran champion of bimetalism and one time Presidential candidate died at his home here last night.
 Harvey was stricken with perito- nitis following an attack of intesti- nal influenza. He passed into seml- coma late yesterday and death fol- lowed swiftly. With him at the time of his death was his second wife, whom he married seven years ago following a divorce from his first wife.

 The volume, written in 1894, had an extensive circulation and from it he acquired the nickname Coin, 7 which stuck to him the remainder of his life. The same year he wrote The Tale of Two Nations, which added to his fame as an author.
 Plans for Pyramid
 For nearly 25 years thereafter, MT. Harvey lived in virtual obscurity in Arkansas. when he again attracted attention by his announced plans for the erection of a huge pyramid Of America in the Ozarks of Arkansas.
 Pessimistic as to the future of the civiliza ton of his time, which he believed eventually would be de- stroyed, he conceived the idea of the pyramid as a means of preserving for future peoples complete record of the world in which he lived.
 MT. Harvey devoted the latter years of his life almost exclusively to the building of the pyramid al Monte Ne, Ark, and to the writing

 ness Trend Tn '35

 Several new gold properties were opened for production during the year. several old ones that have hen dormant for several years were revived, and much development work was in progress on still other proper ties that will shortly become produc- tive. A marked spirit of activity in the gold producing industry explains the good showing for the year, and also gives assurances for the future
 However, several different adverse causes were operative in the indi- NIQudl dCtlNltACoi WiiiSll SdQoCo d temporary decrease in shipments from Alaska as whole during the year.
 The grand total of products and minerals for the year was S53 ,026. .355. as against s60.994, ,251 for 1884
