Salmon Pack in Alaskan Waters
 Continues Light
Long, Dry Period with Re ceding Streams Seen as
 Contributing Factor

The salmon pack thus far con- tinues to be light, according to re- port to the Bureau of Fisheries, The pack in Cook Inlet district through June B showed l2,l76 eases of Kings and 530 reds, or total pack to date of 12.706 cases.
 The run is reported light in many of the other districts and it is be- lieved by some authorities that the long, dry period is contributing factor. Forest Service officials re- port all streams, with the excep- ton of glacier streams, are very low and fish are finding difficulty in getting upstream and also in find ing the spawning waters due to the small throw-off of oxygen from the receding fresh water streams.

OPEN GLACIER BAY IS URGING
 OF REX BEACH
Noted Author Appears Be fore Senate Committee
 Favorable Action

WASHINGTON, June IT. = Rex Beach, the noted author, today ap- pealed to the Senate Public Lands Committee to open the Glacier Bay National Monument in Alaska to mineral exploration and develop ment, and picturing another Klon- dike gold rush if such was done.
 After listening to Beach, the com mittee favorably reported the bill by Senator Schwellenbach of Wash ington, to open the monument to miners.
 Beach said: Reports of pros pectors and examination of ores are so promising that the opening of the 1900 square mile area might con- siderably be another rush. Towns will spring up, new airlines and other transportation systems will be established, and people will rush to the area deserted now even by sea- gulls."
 Predicts Rush
 Beach said the rush would start 30 days after Congress approval.
 The area was withdrawn by a proclamation by President Coolidge in 1925. Before that time explor- ation was negligible, but recently the presence of highly mineralized deposits of gold, silver, copper, molybdenum, and other minerals was established.
 The Glacier Bay area is so scar flied by receding glaciers that the deposits are exposed so "one can almost prospect with field glasses and nearly throw hat into the highly mineralized belts," said Beach.
 The Interior Department approves of the action as does the Nevada Democratic Senator Key Pittman who said: There isn't a chance in the world of Alaska ever amounting to anything except through develop ment of it's minerals"
 The Territorial Chamber of Com merce, Beach said, is also favorable

WAR ADDS DEBT BUT ITALY SEES
 BALANCE GAIN
By ANDRUE BIRDING

ROME, June 17.--Italy'S conquest of Ethiopia cost just $1 ,000, 100000 up to the middle of May.
 It means nearly 10 per cent ad- dition to the public debt.
 But Thaon di Revel finance min- ister, says it is not just money spent for nothing. On the other side of the ledger are new harbors, new docks, hundreds of miles of new roads, bridges and barracks, and,
 A fine military equipment in- cluding airplanes, artillery and ma chine guns which increases Italy $ fighting strength in the world. And, finally,
 A new empire.
 The latest appropriation, announce ed in the official gazette, of 2,045,- 100000 lire, brings the total of war preparedness and war appropria- tions to 12,1l0,00O000 lire, which is just few sous under $1 000,000,000

 How has Italy paid her way? Nc figures have been issued to illus trate this interesting question; but the budget estimates for 1897 with their increased interest figures offer reliable method of working it out.

 Consequently the 675,0O0,OO0 lire capitalized at 10 per cent, meanl the government received 6,750,000, 900 from the conversion. i Next there is an increase of 100,' 100000 lire interest on short tern

SANDERS ATTACKS
COURT PROPOSALS
Curb on Supreme Tribunal
Held Danger to Liberty.
Times Special

Times Special
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, April
22.-Alleged proposals by the Demo-
Gratis to curb the United States ST.
preme Court were discussed by Mont
gomery County Republicans today
following an address last night of
Everett Sanders, former national G..
o. P. chairman, before the Repub-
lican county central committee.
There is proposal" Mr.. Sand
ers said in his attack on the New
Deal, that the Supreme Court shall
not have the power to declare law
unconstitutional unless two-thirds
thereof vote it so. American liberty
is too sacred to permit a minority
of the court to prevent it's protec-
tion."
He pointed out that it would not
require constitutional amendment
to increase membership of the court.
Needs Congressional Law
"It would merely require law
by Congress. If the number were
increased the minority appointed for
their known leanings might permit
what the majority would regard as
the most fragrant violations of the
rights of the people," he asserted.
Mr.. Sanders hammered New Deal
experiments such as NRA and AAA,
and charged Congress with i'm
properly delegating power to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
IF President Roosevelt had done
nothing else it would have been
physical impossibility for him to
have read all the MIRA codes. I'm
der NRA the people would never
know what law they were violating"
he declared.
