 The body was found by Mike Reiser and Elmer Savikko while they were delivering on their milk route about 830 yesterday morning.

CHICHACOF HEAD HAS PRAISE FOR
 KRESTOFF CLAIM
Says Find on Krestof Island Will Be Real
 Mine

The Krestoff Island gold claims recently acquired by the Hirst-Ch chagof Mining Company shows real promise of being a good mine, &C., cording to Paul M. Sorenson, Man ager of that company's operations. MT. and Mrs. Sorenson flew to Juneau from Chichagof Friday with Sheldon Simmons in the Lockheed.
 "The geology of the west coast of Krestoff Island is favorable and the location of the claims and other physical conditions justifies our belief that a mine will be developed there" said Sorenson at the Gastineau Hotel this morning.
 The ore is high grade quartz that was discovered by Cedric M. Davis early this spring after trac- ing piece of float picked up the winter previous. To date work has been confined to surface trenching, that has uncovered enough out croppings to warrant extensive dia- mond drilling After the showings of the drill sheets have been stud jed, a shaft will probably be sunk.
 At present no men are working on the property and plans will be held in abeyance until MT Soren- son returns from a months trip on the Outside. Cedric Davis, and his partners, Leo Young and John Thunes, will retain an interest in the ground, Sorenson said.
 The outlook at the Hirst- Chicha- gof mine at Kimshan Cove is brighter than ever, Sorenson said, with ore reserves augmented by considerable good grade ore de- yeloped on the 1250 and 1400-foot levels, and the new electrical hoist ing and pumping equipment in- stalled year ago exceeding ex- pectations for efficiency.
 MT. and Mrs Sorneson expect to go south on the Yukon to Seat tie, whence they will journey to their home in Salt Lake City Utah, for a visit with relatives before going to San Francisco via the Mother Lode mining country.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-These sob stories of self-sacrificing Federal officials who stay on the job while high-priced positions await them on the outside will bear lookin gino.
 There is no doubt that some are offered better positions; and when they stay on to work for the Pres ident" through the election period or a session of Congress, they lose money. But the losses are well balanced by personal benefits gained from their service for the Govern ment.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 27.-American business men declare that Japan has established customs house in the Shanghai area in what appears to be an attempt to throttle Am erican and other foreign commerce.
 American importers declared that the customs depots are established for the sole purpose of affording Japan, after hostilities are. over and a puppet government has been es- tablished, the right to divert Am erican goods destined for inland distribution, to their own areas.
 Japanese, the American import CTS say, expect to gain control of all waterfront areas and thus collect duty on all American im- ports.

SUPPORTING NEW DEAL

09A | OAb N ANA-Ff AgA~AhA%
 Edward Albert Filene, Boston merchant, noted publicist and in- ternationally known business econo- mist, was often called the apostle of mass production and distribution. He supported President Roosevelt thoroughly in the New Deal.
 He preached a gospel of low pro- duction and high wages, of social justice, of shorter hours, of the sci entific approach to business prob lens and of community service. He praeticed his precepts as one of the co-owners of the largest speciality store in the world, William Filene Sons company, and always tried to exemplify what he urged upon other employers.
 5000 Benefit
 There, 5000 employees benefited to an unusual degree by the liber- ality of MT. Filene and his brother, A. Lincoln Filene, who long before the turn of the century had estab- lished the F'ilene Cooperative asso- ciation, which gave to the firm s workers powers greater in many respects than those of the manage ment itself.
 The idea was called revolutionary by some competitors but the Filenes regarded it simply as giving effect to their conceptions of social jus tice.
 Filene frequently spoke before im- portant gatherings both in this country and abroad. He helped to found the Boston Chamber of Com merce, the United States Chamber of Commerce and the International Chamber of Commerce.
 He presented his ideas on mass distribution and its effects upon the standard of living to the first world social economic congress, held in Amsterdam, Holland, late in Aug ust. 1881 He preached the gospel of Wa6No pAAo tS"~% %~Ao prices a few days later to large audience in Leipzig, Germany.
 He helped to reduce economies and business theory from the more or less aberuse language of the text book to the understanding of the every day man. Always he empha- sized the social side of the mechan- icS of business.
 Requirements of Life
 T am under no dehusions about the social efficiency of our indus trial civilization" he once wrote. The days of the majority of man. kind are still occupied in providing food, clothing and shelter with lit tie time for lifting life to higher level.
 This is indefensible. The modern business system is at present more

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-Theodore w.
Schultz. head Of the department OF

tempo of American agriculture is
set by the export group" of farm prod

Schultz, in an address prepared for

Grafton, said only three alternatives
were open to agriculture. They were:
Shrinking the productive plant
to fit domestic needs: shifting from
the export group such as cotton and
wheat. to other fields, such as dairy
ing; selling products abroad.
Asserting that shrinking production
was IAN absolute necessity" few
years ago, he said it's desirability, be-

ton of resources, was extremely
doubtful" and added:
1T is highly improbable that do
