BOY PliOHI SLEUTHS
Our attention was called the other day to the tact
correspondence courses in prohibition detective work
are now being given under the direction of H. M. Den
gler. of the Prohibition Bureau for the benefit of en
forcement officers in the field.
In several places in the book of instructions, it is
said, the use of children to spy on suspects is re
commended. That alone should be sufficient to con
demn the atrocious dry laws to any fair-minded citi
zen. Not so many years ago at Anchorage a deputy
marshal attempted some such recourse. The condemna
tion from- the public is still vividly recalled; also the
rebukes from his superiors.
Any attempt at prohibition enforcement probably
requires detective work, but the employment of boys
for the purpose is open to serious objection. By teach
ing them to practice deception at such an early age,
there is danger that they will form habits of thought
and action which would unfavorably affect their future
life.
Congress appoints political favorites to soft jobs
in Alaska then turns around and yelps about expenses
As if an Alaskan’s voice could be heard, and if so, at
tention paid to what Alaska thinks.
Anyway, we’re glad Mr. Gerard’s list of our 64
“rulers” didn’t include a crooning tenor.
Whether administrations are responsible or not
they get the blame for bad times. And never fail to
take credit for good ones.
The war memorial on Stone Mountain should also
include a scene depicting the war over carving it.
It looks like present-day Alaskans w^ere born 100
years ahead of time.
DANIEL GUGGENHEIM
(Continued froro I'ajre One*
the possibility of metallurgical improvement being
made in the Chilean nitrate industry. His work toward
that end resulted in the invention of a novel treatment
of Chilean nitrate, followed by his firm acquiring hold
ings in that field.
Another South American venture which he spon
sored was the development of the enormous areas of
tin in Bolivia. He advocated the building of a $6,000,000
smelter and a $2,000,000 refinery for the Utah Copper
Company to handle ore of such low grade that few
considered it worth anything. This developed into one
of the firm’s most profitable ventures.
The development of a remote copper property in
Alaska was another achievement of Mr. Guggenheim.
The property is situated on the top of a hill and was
in an inaccesible region. Before it could be worked it
was necessary to build a railroad over a moving glacier
to facilitate operation of the mine and for the trans
portation of the ore. The property later was trans
ferred to the Kennecott Copper Company.
Mr. Guggenheim aided the government during
the World War by taking a leading part in stimulating
the production of copper for war purposes. He coop
erated with the War industries Board in working out
a fixed price for copper supplied to the government in
order to prevent high costs and profiteering.
His interest in good music and his desire to have
others enjoy it led him to join Mrs. Guggenheim and
Mr. and Mrs. Murray Guggenheim to provide funds
for concerts in Central Park, New York. These were
conducted several years and drew crowds of many
thousands.
In September, 1919, Mr. Guggenheim was made
a Commander of the Order of the Crown of Belgium
for his sendees in connection with the development
cf the mineral resources of the Belgian Congo.
