LABOR|NC MEN DO BETTER HERE
 THAN IN STATES
Data Indicates MiSConcep- tiOnS Exist on Outside
 Wage Conditions
MANY WOULD RETURN
Laborers Who Have Left Long For Opportunities
 of the North

Data being gathered by the Mer- chants Protective Association show that there is great deal of miscon- ception about the high" wages be ing paid in the States. There is shortage of labor in many parts of the country at the South, it is true, and efforts are being made to get labor there, but the facts do not seem to warrant the representations that have been made as to prevailing wages.
 An instance shown by Chairman George F. Forrest at a meeting of the Merchants Protective Association s committee on the labor situation last night is illustrative of this point. MT Forrest called attention to the case of a machinist who left Juneau on the representation that he could get $6 a day in Seattle. After look ing for a $6-a-dy job for two months, necessity compelled him to go to work for $4 a day
 Working Conditions Better Bere
 Miners formerly employed on Gas tineau channel, writing back from copper mines in the States, say that while wages are theoretically larger in some of those places than on Gas tineau channel lock-outs and walk outs have caused the loss of so much time that the writers have spent the money saved up while working here and are broke. Several of them have said that they would re- turn to Juneau if they had the price of transportation. All of them agree that working conditions in the Gas tineau channel mines are better than they are at any of the great mines of the country.
 Opportunities Greater Here
 It is also conceded by the men who have left Juneau for the South and secured work in the States that opportunities to graduate from day more favorable here than there It Is represented that in the States a workingman is likely to become a mere cog in the wheel, while in Al aska a developing fisheries business and assurances of development in the pulp and paper and other industries invited by the natural resources of fer opportunities for those on the ground that do not exist in the old CT sections of the country. In Alas ka, it is pointed out, laboring men become acquainted with those of all classes and by that means get op- not available to them where the population is so crowded that near ly everybody circulates in narrower channels.

TYPEWRITER IN FIRST PLACE

Long ago, when Romans and Greeks
wished to write, they used wax tablets
instead of paper, which they knew
nothing about, and their pen was
called IA stylus. The stylus is pen
Gil made of iron or other metal, sharp
at one end and blunt at the other. The
sharp end was used to scratch the
surface of the wax and the blunt end
was used as an eraser.
II you had lived In Olden times in
Egypt probably you would have used
skins on which to write your letters.
At later time, papyrus, or certain
kind of leaf, was used. The ink was
simply black paint, thinned out, and
the pen was brush. By and by some
forgotten genius tried reed, which
was used instead.
our eat-grandfathers used quilts
for pens. Goose quilts were mostly
used, and quilts of crows feathers
were for fine writing.
We have to go back only to 1920 to
see the manufacture of the first steel
pens. They were made In London
and In the form of a tube, but now
they are rolled out of fine steel.
II Is a curious fact that the type,
writer, which has so largely taken the
place of the pen, actually was invent
ed before the steel pen. AS early as
the year 1717 a typewriter was pat
ented in England, but 1t was not unit
1929 that a practical machine was
made.

STOCK GRAZING ON NATIONAL
FORESTS. This picture shows actual
grazing conditions on most of our ma
tional forests. That part of the pic
ture made in Utah and on the Uinta
national forest, shows sheep grazing
entirely-sheep on the range; in pas
ture; on the road 10 shipping point

loading In dOuble-decked cars for
transportation to an eastern market.
In this picture one will see the forest
ranger counting sheep by the dodg,
ing method. and he must be an ex-
pert TO get an exact count of the
jumping milling bunch. The picture
also shows the use of a goat in load,
ing the sheep on the cars; certainly
an easy method, but hard work for
the goat.
These pictures are to be shown in
Salmon at an early day.

TO GATES OF JERUSALEM.

The Turks are being harassed on
three sides by forces of the entente
allies. British troops under General
Maude, operating along the Tigris
river in Mesopotamia, have driven
back the Turks until the British cav
airy is within eight miles of the south
ern border Of the important town Of
Bagdad. To the northeast in Persia,
the Russians have gained further adj
vantages over the Ottoman forces in
retreat westward from Mammalian,
having occupied the town Of Kanga-
yer. Another army of King George,
operating against the Turks in Pales-
tine, has pressed them back north

London, March 9.-Count Zeppelin
is dead, according to dispatch from
Berlin received by Reuters Telegram
company.
According to a Berlin telegram,
transmitted by Reuters Amsterdam
correspondent, Count Zeppelin died
yesterday morning at Charlottenberg
near Berlin, from inflammation of the
lungs.
Count Ferdinand Zeppelin became
famous at the age of 20 as the builder
of the worlds first practical dirigible
balloon. On his seventy-ffth birth
day he navigated his twentieth air
ship to celebrate the occasion. But
before he had achieved fame he had
devoted a half century of his life, ex-
hausted his personal fortune of $3.50,
600 and sacrificed a brilliant career
as a German cavalry leader, in con-
quering the air.
Emperor William recently pro-
claimed Count Zeppelin to be "the
greatest German of the twentieth cen
fury" AS token of appreciation he
conferred upon him the exaltedlOrdel
of the Black Eagle, the highest honor
in the emperor's power.
FIRST ASCENSION IN u. S.
1t was in the United States tina
Count Zeppelin made his first balloon
ascension. II occurred while he wa
following General Carl Shurz in thu
civil war as military observer fo
the German army. A captive balloon
in use for military observations by
union troops greatly interested thu
young German officer, and he wal
taken up in it in 1853.
