Alaska's Resources.

The present exhibition Of AIaska's
resources IL the best possible refuta-
ton OF the stock criticism current at
the time OF the acquisition of Alaska
in 1857 that the new territory would
prove an endless expense without ade-
quate return. Forty years ago Alaska
was known almost solely to traders.
and these rarely penetrated to the in
terror. In 1907 the United States ship
ped to Alaska nearly $2O.00OO 900 worth
OF goods and received in return $780,
100000 worth Of Alaska's products.
consisting mainly Of gold, fish and
furs. These figures OF one years com
merce are double what they were in
1903. only four years earlier.
So far the item Of gold has exceeded
in value that OF all other Alaskan
products. The copper and coal depos-
its Of the territory await the construc-
ton Of railways for their develop
ment, Alaska also has rich deposits
Of silver, tin and gypsum and extern
sive forests Of timber. Next to gold
the fishery products figure in Alaska's
commerce. The seal and other fur
bearing animals are steadily decreas-
ing, and the present generation may
see the extinction Of the once valuable
fur trade But other industries win
develop as never before when the
problem Of government for Alaska has
been solved and capital flows In to
finance them.

Boliyla's action in taking umbrage
at the decision made by Argentina as
arblter In the dispute submitted under
the arbitration agreement brings the
whole principle of arbitrating lnterna-
tiOnal disputes back to the starting
point Bolivia and Peru submitted
10 arbitration boundary case which
has hung Are for n century. Argenti-
ma decided In favor of Peru. upon
which Bolivia charged bad faith on
the part Of the Argentine president.
Naturally the Argentine government
must back up It's executive, and SO
national honor comes to the fore just
an at the commencement. The nation
which lost the case feels hurt. and the
referee nation feels insulted
II was considered a great gain for
the peace of America when the Latin
American nations agreed TO submit to
arbitration. But these nations are
very sensitive ON points of honor.
Arbitration treaties exempt causes
which come close to a nations honor.
Decision favoring either party to such
a case would be likely TO end in war.
and the disputants might as well Gght

sitiveness brought a third party. the

erful enough to enforce Its decisions.
That might suit a weak nation hav,
ing q good case. But Bolivia's resent
ment Of the award shows that in some
cases arbitration only spreads the trou,
BILE. for there's likely to be hot blood
behind q quarrel which the principals
cannot or win not adjust betweeE
themselves.

The flight Across the Unannel.

The monoplane flight Of NJ. Bleriot
across the English channel marks 40
epoch In aerial navigation. II may
prove almost as much of a mllepOst
as the flrst transmission of message
by aerial telegraph across the same
channel TO hy over this historic,
turbulent and fog choked neck OF wa.
ter has been the one dream of French
aeronauts since Montgolfier shot up In
his first balloon over a century ago.
This makes Bleriot's achievement all
the more notable.
Perhaps the most significant feature
Of the achievement Is that It was made
by a heavier than air machine and by
a monoplane at that, 1t has become
more ana more apparent that the aero
plane and not the dlrigible balloon Is
to be the vessel of the air. The bal
loon Is the sport of the wind. Aero
planes are more on the lines of nature,
being like the birds and insects, all Of
which are heavier than air. 1t is
striking also that this feat should have
been accomplished by a monoplane.
which is still more closely modelled
after the bird and insect than the
Wright machine and most OF the 9TH
ers, which are biplanes.
The speed at which the flight was
made was that of an express train, or
more than forty-nve miles an hour. II
aerial vessels are so swift in the In
fancy Of the science, who can predict
what their speed rate will be when the
aeropIsne is perfected and In common
use?
The only amusing feature Of the en-
tire incident Is John Bulls nightmare
lest he be invaded by alrships If a
nation is determined TO be scared per
haps It may as we'll be scared by i'm
aginary airShlp fleets az anything else

John Walker. an English chemist,
was experimenting In 1897 with an in
6ammable mixture for use on ship
board. One day Walker happened to
rub a stick dipped in this mixture
across a table. There was a report
the stick took FIRE, and because John
Walker was no fool the match was
born. The match's inventor put his
wonderful invention on the market
in April. 1927. The Walker match was
as big as a lead pencil. and It cost a
shilling a box. Because 1t could only
be lighted by drawing it through a
piece OF sandpaper folded in two the
Holden match supplanted II in 1888.
The Holden was a luclfer. Il ignited
more easily than the Walker. so it put
the Walker out of business. Sweden
Is today the home Of the match in
dustry. Sweden exports annually
about 1000 600. 900 boxes OF incompar.
able matches. But there is no statue

Presbytery held at Easley last week
the quadricentennial Of the birth of
John Calvin was celebrated, which
was an important feature OF the
spring session. Papers were read
and addresses made by the following:
Rev. M. r. Kirkpatrick, of Seneca,
Calvin, the Man and His Times; ;
Rev. f. w. Gregg, of Abbeville, Con
tribution Of Calvin to Civil Liberty; !;
Rev. j. Lowrie Wilson, d. D., of Alb
beville, "Calvinism and Missions" "
Another important matter was the
question of dividing the Presbytery.
1t was decided to recommend to
South Carolina Synod the division.
The counties of Abbeville, Edgefield,
Greenwood, Newberry and Saluda
Will remain in the old Presbytery,
and the counties of Anderson, Pick
ems AMI Oconee comprise the new.
To the General Assembly's question
of ELECT Infants" Confession of
Faith, Chapter 10, Section 3, Presby-
terry decided to make no change. The
commissioners to the General Assem-
bly, which meets at Savannah in May,
are Rev. w. H. Frazer, Anderson;
Rev. ~: w. Gregg, Abbeville; Elder
j. E. Hagood, Easley, and J. P.
Smith, Liberty.
John Abbott, of Gaffney, and Roy
Abbott, of Anderson, were in West
minister yesterday.
If 1T is not out Of order, we would
like to suggest to the school trus-
tees or the building committee of the
assembly hall to make line Of doors
so the audience can make their exit
easily and comfortably. The narrow
passage at the former auditorium
and at the Baptist and Presbyterian
churches is an example of how slow
and tedious it is for a large crowd
to make their exit.
The hours for preaching in the
Baptist church are 10 a. m. and 8.
p. m. Many Of the merchants and
business houses lock their doors at
10 O'Clock for the meeting.
Interesting appeals and records
for foreign mission achievements
were brought out at the Laymen's s
meeting held in Greenvilla last week.
Governor Ansel presided over the
meetings, and there were speakers
from Philadelphia, New York, Char
lotte, Nashville, and different sec
tions Of South Carolina and Georgia.
Their aim is to bring the message OF
salvation to all parts of the globe.
