AIRPLAHE WILL
 HOVER AT POLE:

LONDON,-(By MatD-An airplane. lowering above the South Pole, may send back to London daily wireless adviccs relative to explorations or scientific researches by the South expedition which is to be led by John L. Cope next summer.
 The explorer, who has served as surgeon and biologist on previous south polar expeditions, believes the use of airplanes and wireless In prob ins the solitudes of the icebound ant arctic regions will lead to revelations that will make the trip more import ant, from a scientific point of view, than any previous explorations of the earth's under side"
 Altho new difficulties will be creat- ed by the use of aircraft it is claimed the advantages to be obtained are so great as to be obvious to anyone acquainted with such research. It is proposed to equip the airplaneS used with wireless apparatus having a sending range of several hundred miles ensuring communication with the mother ship" of the expedition. From this ship summaries of the air planes exploits are to be flashed by more powerful instruments back to | the civilized world

TOW but are waiting for rise in the price of copper or a decline in the wage scale.
 There has been like fall ing of in the production of canned salmon and other fish in Alaska The high prices of last year and the great contracts for supplying the United States armies with canned salmon led to feverish activities in that industry and the erection of many new can, neries. The production of this year will be scarcely two-thirds of last years yield
 Fifth-The great government rail road. for which S35.0O0.00O was appro- priated four years ago. has been com pleted about two-thjrds of ifs way from the coast to the interior It has reached the rich MatanusEa coal feld- and has been extended some 200 miles up the Susitna valley. From the inter for terminus on the Panama at Nenana lhe road has been extended southward as far as the Nenana coal field. At the close of last years operations all of the $35.O00OO0 appropriation had been expended except &2,0O0 0oo Th. additional sum of $S.ooo,00O was asked of congress this year to complete the road, but has thus far been refused and work on the road is at a standsEI except on the southern section. Tn. town of Nenana, which was booming year ago. has lost three-fourths of its citizens. Anchorage, the ocean terminus. has not lost so heavily, bu. is receding rather than progressing The expected immigration of farmers to take up land in the interior mas not materiaIized. All of the cities and viii lages of the territory except two or three on the coast, are depressed. and many of them depopulated
 Of course, all who know the vast riches, the milIionsof fertile acres, the splendid climates-in a word, the de sirability of the territory as a place of residence and business enterprise SC are sure that this depression is only temporary, and that there is bound 10 come before long, a heavier immig"a- ton and a greater boom than eyer. but the present is a time of stress anl Encouragement.
 From the foregoing considerations
 t is easy to deduce the state of mis
 ionary activity in the territory this year. Our native missions have been little affected by the depressions of business in Alaska If anything, they are is a more prosperous condition than ever before, and the personnel of our missionary force was never finer than now. There have been some changes, but all of our native mis- sions are now well supplied.

 One of the worlds most famous dwarfs Mrs Tom Thumb, who was correctly but less popularly known as the Countess Magri measured 32 inches in height She weighted only .29 pounds. Born in MiddleborO Mass, 70 years ago, she outlived all the professional associates of her genera tion. Her first husband General Tom Thumb has been dead for 30 years. Her sister, also a dwarf still smaller. died. 35 years ago.
 The parents were of large stature land numerous children born to them, with two exceptions. were of normal
 ize. At birth Lavina Warren, for such was Mrs Thumbs maiden name, weighed six pounds and at the age .of one year she was of normal size For the next nine years she grew
 'oWly, and then suddenly stopped altogether. At 70 her hair was jet black, and fine black eyes sparl,leI from a full, round, dimpled face, and her voice was always soft and sweet.
 Her first public apearance was at the age of IT, under the management -r a cousin, who operated floating ralace of curiOsities" on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers before the Civil war.
 She met P. T. Barnum in 1862. Then began her great career nder his management. 1t was a tour of triumph thru the camps of the Civil war and in foreign capitals. It is said that her photographs are in more family albums than any other persons in the worlds history.
 Her public career occupied 56event- full years. During this time she trayl- ed over the civilized world and had been introduced to nearly every crowned head and eminent person in
 very country she visited.
 Tt has been asserted" said this remarkable little woman, that Gen Tom Thumb had kissed more women than any living man. can with equal assurance assert that I have
 a,len hands with more human be ings in all stations of life than any other woman in existance. My travels have embraced Europe Asia, Austral ia, Africa and America"
 Accommodating a large fortune, Mrs Thumb made her farewell tour in 1912. Her second husband , Count Magri of Italy is also a dwarf. He became a naturalized citizen of the United States shortly after his n}I' tiage to Mrs. Tom Thumb.

GOV. CLEMENT IN OFFICE
Delivers His Message Friday After
noon Forecasting a Strict Bus
mess Regime

MONTPELIER, Jan. 10-The oath OF
Office was administered to Hon. Per-
cival w. Clement this afternoon by
Chief Justice Watson of the Supreme
court. Mr.. Clement signed the oath
of office this afternoon with the goic
pen used for so years by his mother.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wood, who formerly
/ lived in Skelburne Mrs. Wood was
born in 1907 and died in 1904.
His inaugural message outlined a
strict business regime, advising a
concentration and GENERALIZATION of
state institutions. He presented plans
for a new accounting system and
touched on the Federal amendment.
The state of Vermont has already
sacrificed large revenue by its adop-
ton of the amendment to the feder-
al constitution which takes over te
the federal government the princely
revenue from income taxes, and the
end is not yet.
You will be asked at this session to
pass upon another amendment tc
the federal constitution which not
only deprives the state of Vermont Of
a certain revenue, but which also
abrogates certain powers of self-gov-
eminent which the state has always
retained, and deprives our citizens o.
time honored rights. While this mat
ter rests entirely with you and no
with me, do not deem it proper at
this time, TO remind YOU of the dan
ger which lies in too complaisan'
surrender of the rights and powers
inherent in our sovereign state, and
in our people.
At the proper time will make fur
Their suggestions on this subject, bu'
at this time. I will only express thu
hope that your work upon this mos.
serious question may be well and
carefully performed.
