(By Special Correspondent)
Two new homesteaders have
come to help us pioneer. Messrs.
Milo Kallman and Lenus Westman,
both of San Francisco, Calif., and
both of whom expect their parents
to follow and settle here. Mr.
■Westman is an accomplished mu
sician, playing the violin and man
dolin well and having a beautiful
baritone voice. They are a great
addition especially among the
.younger set and we give them a
liearty welcome.
Mr. Bechtel has sent to Cordova
for his car and is expected any
time. This is another indication
that Homer is booming. The more
cars, the merrier and as in other
places, Homer will follow. At this
rate, ‘horses will soon be a thing
of the past.’
Mr. Dickeson, foreman of the
Alaska Road Commission, has just
left on the Discoverer after doing
a bit of repairs on the road. He
is a good man and knows roads
and we hope he will come back
next year with a larger appropria
tion for an extension of this road
which is badly needed. However,
we - are thankful for this small
appropriation as it was need and
fixes the road in fairly good shape.

DEMANDS ACTION ON
SILVER TO HELP WORLD
TORONTO, July 3. (/P)—J. A.
Darling, British authority on cur
rency, criticized President Hoover
and Prime Minister MacDonald
| for not taking the initiative in re
! storing world prosperity by re
habilitating silver.
The banker, speaking before the
Canadian Club, outlined a plan
for the restoration of silver to a
point nearer its normal relation
to gold. The plan seeks to in
crease the buying power of popu
lous countries where silver is the
monetary unit. Among the most
important nations concerned are
the United States, Britain, includ
ing India, and Canada, Darling
said.
“Why wait for international or
even imperial conferences?” Darl
ing said. “Why should not action
be taken now by the three nations
whose combined resources are ade
quate to restore silver. Neither
President Hoover nor Prime Min
ister MacDonald appear eager to
take the initiative.
“To effect a world-wide rise in
prices we require an instrument
of great dynamic force. That in
strument is silver, restored to near
its natural value and in use as a
money metal, and I can see no
other.” i
LUCKY SHOT WORK STEADY
Production at the Lucky Shot
mine on Craigie creek, in the Wil

ities of the company have given
impetus to other developments in
other sections of the camp. The
Lucky Shot operations are the
most extensive of any in the dis
trict at the present time and are
on an all-year basis, reports the
Anchorage Times.

—Haunted houses with well au- j
thenticated ghosts are at a ure- |
mium in England.
When the Magicians Club of-!
fered $15,000 for a house complete |
with ghost, business perked up!
but H. Reid, a collector of haunt
ed houses, is still disconsolate.
For years Reid has been hunting :
spooks but lias had no luck. Still!

Reid said he used to creep outj
of bed at night to prowl for ghosts.!
“I’ve slept in some of the best!
known haunted houses in England, |
prowled their halls and corridors
at all hours of the night but have j
never seen a ghost. I've slept in !
beds of people who were murdered i
and visited cemeteries on the dark- j
est- nights, but to no avail.”
