' GOLD SURPRISES
EASTERN CLERKS
-x
The other day a stranger en
tered the Western Union office,
handed the manager a telegram,
and with a sheepish look put
down a twenty-dollar gold piece.
“It’s all the money I have
. with me_you will take it,
won’t you?” he asked.
Manager Rogers looked at the
man in surprise. “Certainly, why
not?”
The stranger explained that
“Back East,” whenever he of
fered his gold piece in payment
of some purchase, the clerk and
cashier would shake their heads
and tell him to go to the bank
and get it changed into paper
money.
“And silver,” he said, “it is al
most impossible to get hold of a
silver dollar for small change,
but that is all. Any surplus is
packed off to the bank. The
easterner will not tolerate silver,
i
1 and gold is never seen there any
more.”

Cisneros was called to the door
of his home the night of June 18
and shot to death, assertedly by
Henry Eguia, 16.
Sheriff Robert S. Weisiger
said he had been informed the
youth, an epileptic, had been
told by a woman fortune teller
Cisneros had cast a spell over
him and he would not recover
until he killed Cisneros.
Eguia surrendered immediate
ly after the slaying. Three heavi
ly armed men were reported to
have accompanied him to the

WE MAKE A SOREHEAD
-x
A bureau of fisheries agent is
quite sore at The Alaskan for
publishing the editorial last
week “Smelly Laws and Gummy
Officials.” Honest agents of the
Bureau of Fisheries need not
take any offense at any charges
made against the mismanage
ment and law violations of any
agent of the department. Their
hands are clean and they are to
be commended for trying to
perform their duties without
ifear or favor. But those deca
jdent little rats which infest the
(country; those little pinhead,
jpeanut politicians who receive
appointment from a Republican
'administration and show their
I appreciation by sneaking into
the Democratic primaries; those
peanut parasites who connive
l with big violators of the law and
are yet so intolerant of the poor
!sap who goes out to keep his
family from starving—they are
a sore on the body politic and it
is time that the people of the
Territory awakened to the fact
that good Alaska air has been
contaminated by such truck just
about long enough,
i A1 Capone is a decent honest
( itizen as compared to some of
Ij those highbinders which wear
I the badge of authority in the
Bureau of Fisheries. A1 Capone
was a racketeer and he made no
tones of his business. The sworn
I official who profits by racketeer
ing on the fishermen is not a
more desireable citiden than A1
Capone and his henchmen. A1
is resting in the penitentiary—
how and why some of the con
spirators in the Bureau of Fish
1 iertes are at liberty today no one
knows, and he isn’t telling.
If this protest be radicalism,
let others who dare join in the
chorus.

RED CROSS MAKES REPORT
OF INDIGENT AID
-x
American Red Cross chapters
throughout the United States
distributing Red Cross flour mill
ed from government wheat had
applied for 1,922,833 barrels of
flour as of June 4, the date of the
latest national compilation ac
cording to a report released by
A. L. Schafer, manager of the
Pacific Branch Office at San
Francisco.
| The compilation made by
I James L. Fieser, vice chairman
| of the Red Cross at Washington,
D. C., shows applications from
2,813 chapters. Families benefit
ing in the flour distribution total
12,403,450 while the number of
persons in these families is
placed at 10,815,525.
In addition to its widespread
distribution of flour for human
consumption, the Red Cross
through 327 chapters, situated
in drought areas, distributed
220,079 tons of stock feed. The
United States Department of
Agriculture certified to the Red
Cross 321 counties in 16 states as
being affected by drought con
lujuuns. xiie iiumuei ui icuiuncs
benefited by the stock feed dis
tribution is placed at 175,270.
Methods of handling the tre
mendous volume of flour ship
ments are shown by the report
which says:
“Millers accepting orders
handle the entire transaction
which includes the removal of
grain from storage elevator,
transportation to the mill, mill
ing into flour, purchase of sacks
for sacking, transportation to
the destination, and receive re
imbursement in wheat for these
payments on submission of an
invoice to the Red Cross. Under
this arrangement the flour is
delivered, without cost to the
relief agency, at the railroad
siding. All costs from that point
are borne by the relief agency.
Drought relief as extended in
Montana, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska and eastern
Washington benefited 52,82?
families numbering 241,822 per
sons. The record shows 126 chap
ters participated in the work
which was carried on by a staff
of 3,962 volunteers and 47 paid
workers. Total appropriations
for this relief operation were
$2,225,917.
Some idea of the magnitude
of unemployment relief is give?"
by Mr. Fieser’s compilation
v/hich reveals that 2,159 Re'
Cross chapters were participat
log in unemployment relief as of
May 27. These chapters in then
service to civilians and veteran"
have dealt in recent months with
1:350,000 persons.
In this connection the repor '
shows that the national Red
Cross organization had expended
$355,526.11 in assisting its chap
ters to carry on their relief ac
tivities when local funds were
exhausted. This sum does not
include expenditure for staff
service.
1 Chapters and the national or
ganization working jointly dur- *
ing the past year handled the
cases of more than 400,000 ex
service men and their families.
The fact is noted that 93 per
cent of the bituminous miner?
in the United States are located
in 168 counties of 21 states. In
these 168 counties, 157 Red Cross (
chapters are participating in
unemployment relief to mine
families. t
In touching on the phase of
disaster relief, Mr. Fieser shows
that in 67 domestic disasters (
during the ten months ending
!May 1, 1932, the Red Cross has
1 expended $2,848,375.30 in admin- i
istering to the needs of 37,209
families, totalling more than
162,400 individuals. In seven t
foreign relief projects $129,796.
40 was expended. The principal <
Jdomestic disasters were caused!
:bv drought, flood, fire, tornado,
snowstorm, forest fire and ex
plosion.
In its far-reaching program,
the Red Cross has dealt with
more than 11,000,000 persons in
recent months in administering
its various relief measures.

C’OPPER OUTPUT IS
LOWEST IN DECADE
-x
Copper production by smelters
'and refineries declined last year
to the smallest amount since
1022, according to an advance i
summary of conditions in the
industry issued June 8 by the
Bureau of Mines, Department of
Commerce. Consumption was
contracted at an even greater
rate than the output, with a re -
sultant increase in stocks to a
record level.
The summary supplies the
following additional informa
tion:
Stocks of refined copper at the
end of 1931 set a new high re
cord of 924,600,000 pounds, were
50 per cent above the quantity
on hand at the end of 1930, and
were 40 per cent higher than the
