John Noon's words being given first page space on the pages of the big daily newspapers assuring public ity of the right kind for Seward and Alaska. The following is reproduced from the Seattle Post Intelligencer: Of September 16,- Bringing verbal barrage to use against bureaucratic government of Alaska, John Noon of Seward, representing the Pioneers of Alaska, and an envoy of several citi- zens and organizations in general, is in Seattle en route to Washington and a tour of large Eastern cities to urge greater cooperation in Alaskan de- velopment.

He carries letters from the Pioneers of Alaska, an organization of 5000 members. to be delivered to government officials in, Washington. In his mission he has the support of Gov. Riggs of Alaska
 Too Many Bureaus.
 There are forty-three depart ments, bureaus and commissions hay ing jurisdiction over Alaska" he said yesterday at the Hote! Seward. "This multiplicity of bureaus and de- partments, interlocking as they do in many instances, reduces the Alas kan to state of peonage. Regu- 
 lations governing these departments must be modified to give the poor man a chance and make him free. We Alaskans are now broke hun. a, eds are leaving the country. On the boat on which 1 was passenger there were seven families leaving the territory, one of these families having been North for thirty-one years and now coming out disgusted leaving all their property behind The government has got Alaska all sewed up."
 Noon has been in alaska for twen' ty-five years: He is a typical pio' neer and Westerner, having "punch' ed cattle all the way from Walla Wal la to Cheyenne" before going North He said he would alarm tho East ovel Aisska's neglect.
 Want Old Oil Laws His specific recommendations to th' government will be as follows: Modification of bureaucratic regu lations. ...lnLl Give Alaska the same laws as wer' granted to Washington and othe States during territorial days. Restoration of coal and oil Ian laws that were previously in effect. Extension of the reclamation act t

Some False Ideas About Them

 It should not. Any frst-grade tire should be built as well as tire of that type can be built. Cord Tires cost more than Fab rics, and are worth the extra price. Men who figure cost per mile are coming to Cord Tires.
 But any tire, Cord or Fabric, should be built for the utmost ser- vice which that type can give.

Not 10000 Miles

Countless reports come to US on Miller Cord Tires showing 10000 to 28OOO miles of service. And tales of that kind are told everywhere, we learn.
 But mileage depends on condi- tions = on size, care, load and road. Millers are uniform, but they are not used under uniform conditions. i In our factory tests we average 15,OO0 miles on Cords.
 But Miller Tire will outlast- almost always-any tire that you place opposite, no matter what it costs. Compare them under like conditions, and see what mileage modern tires can give.
 You will gain a new criterion.
 When you buy new car insist on Miller Tires. Twenty car makers now supply them and there is no extra charge.

We Insist on This

There are three requirements which Miller Tires must meet
 First, they must average greater mileage, type for type. than any rival tire.
 We constantly prove this. Eight machines in our factory run two tires each under rear-tire conditions. Each tire is run $50 miles daily by running extra-fast.
