FORMER PRESIDENT HOOVER
CHARGES NEW DEAL BEEN
JUGGLING EXPENSE ACCOUNT
(By The Associated Press)
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17, —
Former President Herbert Hoov
er accused the Roosevelt admin
istration of “juggling the fiscal
reports of the government to
make expenditures look less than
they are.”
In an address Friday night at
a Republican Rally, Hoover said
“The New Deal has three for
mulas for making expenditures
look less than they are.”
He listed these as: “First, omitt
ing certain items from its list
of regular expenditures and plac
ing th&m in the appendix of the
budget. Second, deducting cer
tain expenditures before the to
tal is made up, which is announ
ced to the public. Third, using
money from relief funds for oth
er purposes.”
Hoover charged that the “New
Deal bookkeeping is for political
purposes, and is misleading the
people through implication as to
what their expenditures are like
ly to be in the future.”

FOREST FIRES RAGE
NORTH CALIFORNIA
ENDANGER TOWNS
Numerous Cities Barely Escape Destruction Through
Lucky Shift in Wind. Fear Felt For CCC Camp
Cut Off From Communication
' *
(By The Associated Press)
SAN r K AN CISCO, Oct. 17, —
Fanned by hot, capricious winds,
j scores of fires roared through tim
I ber and brush in widely scattered
i sections of northern California,
i leaving three dead and untold
! property damage.
| Thirteen men, women and
Children were cut off from res
j cuers by Placer County fires,
where a fifteen mile wall of flame
destroyed most of Westville.
Only a sudden changing of
jthe wind and the valiance of the
-fire fighters saved half a dozen
other widely scattered towns—
Rockaway Beach, Vallemar, to
the south of here, Bolinas across
the bay, to the north, Standard
City, Sonora, Soulsbyville, near
the Sierra foothills.
It has been unofficialy estimat
ed that millions of dollars of pro
perty have been destroyed.
Fear was felt for the safety of
two hundred CCC workers, cut
off from communications with
Forest Hill by the fire, which is
covering a fourteen mile area in
the Tahoe National Forest.
! Circle Gold Output
i
INCREASE IS ATTRIBUTED TO
NEW MINES SWINGING
Into Production
DREDGE CLOSING SOON
“Gold production this year in
the Circle district will be rough
ly 100 per cent, above last year,"
declared Joe Ulmer, well known
pioneer mining engineer, upon
his recent arrival in Fairbanks
October Oth, according to the j
Fairbanks News-Miner.
“With very few exceptions, es
tablished operators did better
than last year and some big new!
properties came into production.!
“This was notably true in the1
case of Deadwood Creek, where j
the Deadwood Mining Company \
did an enormous amount of work |
during the summer, and of Mam
moth Creek, where the C.J.Berry
Dredging Company constructed a
I
dredge and placed it in opera
tion.”
Still Dredging
The dredge commenced digging .
on September 16th and is still
bringing up the pay dirt. How
ever, cold weather will soon nec
essitate cessation of work and the
boat will start now to dig itself
into winter quarters.
Weather at the Miller House,
near where the dredge is located,
has been much colder than at
Fairbanks. Temperatures as low
as 10 degrees below zero have |
been recorded.
Sam Palmer built the dredger
for the Berry firm and he has
been running it. “It is broken
in now in fine shape,” said Mr.
Ulmer, “and will be ready for a
big season next year. It has a
capacity of 2,200 cubic yards of
dirt a day. The first c'eanup ran
considerably above expectations.
The final cleanup will probably
be made within the next three or
four days."
Engineer for Company
Since spring Mr. Ulmer has
served as engineer in connection
with the building of the dredge.
Be will return there in a few
lays to finish out the season.
Widely known throughout Al
aska, he has lived in many sec
ions of the country and is a for
mer Grand President of the Pio
leers of Alaska. He is one of
he owners of claims on Boulder
md Greenstone Creeks, in the,
"ircle area, that are said to be
txceptionally promising. He ar
rived in Fairbanks with Ray Ham
Ron, Harrison creek miner. The
jteese Highway is said to be in
excellent shape throughout its
entire length.
