NATIONS FUTURE DEPENDS IN |TS
 STOCK YARDS

CHICAGO. Dec. & - That the na- tion's future absolutely depends on live stock production being made pro fitable to the farmer" and that on an average for twenty years, 1t has not been profitable were statements made today by Edward C. Lasater. owner of large cattle ranch at FalfurFias, Texas, in addressing the National Con ference of Marketing and Farm Cred its here. His subject was, The Mar keting of Live Stock"
 The question of privately owned and packed dominated stock yards is of more vital importance to this na- tion,' said Mir. Lasater, than whether a navy shall be built and equipped at government owned or privately con trolled shipyards and munition fac tories. One has to do with the defense of our national honor and rights, the other with whether there is to be anything worth defending
 As a nation We cannot tolerate an agency operating between producer and consumer with power to take from both that to which the agency deems itself entitled. We the common peO- pie, whom, according to Abraham Lincoln. the Lord loves because he made so many of them acting through a government agency, must have thorough investigation of all problems entering the production and mark. r. ing Of live stock and the products therefrom. Thus live stock prodHc- ton so essential to the feeding Of VT people and to the restoration of soil fertility. may be saved to our ma ton"

CO OROOVA RADIO MAY HANDLE
 SERVICE

The Alaska-Seattle cable, operated by the United States army signal corps, will soon be supplemented by wireless service, according to Dr. Louis Winslow Austin, head of the United States naval radio -telegraphic laboratory at Washington, D. C.
 Dr. Austin is working on expert ments at Seattle for the purpose of l improving the cable service between Seattle and Alaska. The Newport wireless station, he says, will be com pleted next year, and commercial ser vice will be available from there to Cordova, where the big navy wireless station is located. It is not planned entirely to eliminate the cable. hu. the business is growing at such rate that the necessity for auxiliary ser vice is becoming readily apparent.
 Government ownership and opera ton of the wireless plants of the coun- try could surely be looked for in times of trouble, but l have no reason for thinking the gove. nment will take over these plants now" said pr. Aus tin. Tt is very hard to get the struc- tural steel necessary for building large stations, and this may cause the pur- chase of few stations for use by the navy department"

ISLAND RESURRECTION BAY
 FOR MILITARY RESERVE

By special order, received on last evenings mail. President Wilson has withdrawn Rugged island in Resurrec- ton bay for the purpose of using 1t as a military reserve. A copy of this order was received by Postmaster Root and another by the Gateway. It is short and sweet and merely men. tions the fact that the island has ben withdrawn for the purpose stated. Un- questionably it indicates the inten. tion of the government to fortify the harbor or to establish a military post at least, but nothing further than the act of withdrawal is stated. Rugged island is near the entrance of the bay. Seward Gateway

LOOKING AT TER EYES SCHOOL
 CHILDREN

\ meeting of the school board will he held tonight for the purpose of talk ing up the matter of having the eyes of the school children examined. This action is now being taken by most of the educational institutions of the states, and by several Of the towns in Alaska.
 Dr. Robert Simpson. of Juneau, an optician who enjoys an excellent re- putation and large practice in south eastern Alaska, is in COrdoya. and he desires to make regular trips to this section every year for the purpose of testing the eyes of the school child ren. The doctor has been located at Juneau for the past four years. where he has a we'll equipped plant, and the people there find it no longer neces- sary to make the trip to Seattle to have their eyes tested. He is on his way to Seward. where he has been requested to go and examine the eyes of the pupils of that town. If satis- factory arrangements can be made Dr. Simpson plans to visit COrdova, Valdez and Seward during December and January of each year.
 At the present time the doctor has contracts at Juneau and other south eastern Alaska towns to make annual tests Of the eyes of the pupils in the public and parochial schools, and he desires to extend his field of work believing that it will be mutually ad- yantageous to the communities visited and himself His plan is to examine the children in squads of four or five and make a written report of the ex act condition of those who are sui fering from any eye affliction. This is turned over to the teacher, as 1t frequently proves of great assistance in the seating of pupils in the school room This card is then delivered to the parents of the child and they can use their own judgment as to what course to pursue in order to correct any defect in the eyesight.
