SANFRANCISC0 BOOSTING FOR
 ALASKA NEEDS

The necessity for rapid communica- ton between Alaska and the outside world has been brought to the atten- ton of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. It was pointed out that while there are at the present time many wireless plants in Alaska, 1t IS very important that two more stations be added, viz:
 One at Nushagak, and the other at Bethel, on the Kuskokwim river.
 The ordinary means of communl- cation from these places is at the present time very slow and irregular, and it is felt that considerable advan- tage will accrue not only to the resi- dents of those places but to outsiders desiring to send messages in.
 The board of directors of the cham Der voted unanimously to indorse the establishment of wireless plants at both of these places. The committee on military affairs is already familiar with the need of this service, and Hon. Julius Kahn, chairman of the commit tee, is heartily in favor of an appro- priation being made to provide for their immediate construction.
 A letter from Governor Riggs Of Alaska to the Association of Pacific Fisheries at Seattle, outlining the ne cessity for providing adequate protec tion for the fisheries of Alaska has been brought to the attention of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce
 This communication requests Ill Aorsement of a plan which Will pro vide in Alaska for the establishment of a, uniformed constabulary simlla1 to certain extent to the constabu lary of Pennsylvania or the Roya Northwest mounted police. This force would be federally controlled and ab soIutely removed from any terrltorla nolitical influence The annual main tenance of the force, sufficient to car' for the interests at stake, would prob ably run in the neighborhood of S35O 900 not counting the initial expens for equipment.
 The board of directors of the cham Der gave consideration to the merit of the request and indorsed the mum ber advocated by Governor Riggs, a we'll as the enactment of suitable leglS 1at1on to carry out the purposes outlined in the governors communics ton.

OUR NEXT GOVERNOR

(By Carleton F. Krueger) Hazelet-Hazelet for governor-is our
 cry; He's a real Alaskan-on him we can
 rely. We've been governed from the outside
 all these many years; Twas plain old carpet-bagging-
 it brought us most to tears. We've been quite submissive and
 they have had their way, While we, who did their bidding, were
 the ones who had to pay. So now let's all get busy and boost
 him with will, For of these carpet-baggers we've
 really had our fill. We want a man who knows our
 needs and who will for them
 fight Until he has gained the end he knows
 to be just right. Hazelet, Hazelet, to seat him we will
 try. We want real Alaskan for governor.
 is our cry.

people Of any other state or terri tory. In three loan drives Alaska headed all the states in oversubscrip- tions, and in it's support of the Red Cross the territory was at the top of the list. It has proved it's loy- alty to the nation time and time again; wly is it not entitled to gov ern itself? Lack of population? ? The white population of Alaska is approximately 10000, and many ter ritories with less population were created states in the past century, among which might be named Colo rado, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and half a dozen others. Inability to function through lack of funds Let me say right here that Alaska 8 income tax last year amounted to more than $15,O00,OO0. The cable system paid half million in profits; seal and fox skins returned almost a million dollars to the treasury; the forests paid about $60,000 above expenses, and approximately that amount was realized last year from the sale of public lands, etc.
 "The forests of Alaska shauld be returned to the public domain and made free to settlement and indus +,,1r Irt ho+ i, to ten Alaska will not forge ahead, even if she is granted statehood.
 Polar bears are plentiful in Alas ka, but so are children and schools. It is rarely that child is compelled to miss school because of indictment weather. Can the same be said of North Dakota?S The Alaska of Rex Beach and Jack London; of gunmen and dance halls, is past, in spite of all we sec in the movies to the contrary. When present means of communication and transportation are considered, Alaska is no further from New York than St. Louis was a hundred years ago. She has four teen incorporated towns, in each of which you will find the same sort of folks and social life that you en- joy in towns of the same size throughout the country. There are a hundred schools in these incorporat- ed towns and districts, and about siXty-five in other less densely popu- lated sections. There are thirteen high schools, and many of the pupils, far from fearing the winters, have their own dog teams, which they race for sport.
 You will find the telegraph, wire less and cable everywhere, and there is only one important port of the dozen or more that is cut off by ice in winter. And the people of that city-Nome-wh thus are cut off for the winter period from civiliza- tion enjoy themselves far more than do folks in many more favored com- munities
 At the present time the govern ment is building a federal railroad into the interior. Secretary Payne, who inspected the work while in the vicinity of the Matanuska coal mines, reports that about 4,000 men are em- ployed in construction, and about mile of railroad is being completed per day.
 'The country is filling up with the right sort of pioneers-the sort that built up the Great West. If Presi. dent Hill of the Great Northern would loan Secretary Payne the colonization expert who helped colon- iZe Washington for his father, Alas ka's population would increase by leaps and bounds, for he would seek hOmestoaders from among the sturdy people who are not afraid of a little cold weather-the SWedes and Norwegians."

creased price The la-y of supply and demand nay he interf sr.I with fer d time, but eventually it operates re- lentlessly. The producers of copper will not be able to fix their selling price until consumption of copper is equal to or greater than production plus the surplus.
 The increased cost of producing copper, due to increased transporta- tion charges and increased cost of fuel is eventually going to close down considerable number of mines and in that way, production will be curt ailed. Otherwise a greater effort has to be put forth by the individual min CT to overcome the increased cost
 There is no object in increasing production at the present time and further curtalment, if it could be continued during the next twelve months, by all operators, would help out the situation.
 Any attempt to meet the wages paid by the railroad company will lead to further trouble and dissatisfaction. It is only a question or time when the railroad company will be letting out men and when they start to do that, it will ease employment in all other lines. There may be temporary dissatisfaction on account of the diff ference in wage, but the more intel ligent of the railroad men, as indivi- duals, are willing to admit that their present wage is too high, but they are willing to take all they can get when they can get it and l do not believe that employees of other in dustries are going to insist upon further increasing the costs when they know that the product of their labor is not meeting with a ready ! market

G0VERN' R ADJOURNS BOARD WHEN2 MEN
 START FIST FIGHT

'
 Phoenix Sept. Ex-Governor Camp bell adjourned meeting of the state land board yesterday for one or two days after Dr. L. B. Perrin, S4. re- puted to be the largest land owner in the state, and Fen S. Hildreth, 45. had sprung toward each other in an effort to fight.
 They were separated by Governor Campbell and Attorney General Wiley E.. Jones. The attempt at physical combat marked the close of a stormy session of the board on the matter of cancellation of land leases and a suit pending in court in which Dr. Perrin and Hildreth are on opposite sides.
 Gains Floor, Holds It
 Dr. Perrin, who had been declared out of order severaf s1mes by Cover nor Campbell when the former at- tempted to speak, the governor de- claring that it was strictly a board meeting, finally gained the floor and held it.
 During plea for what he termed his rights" Dr. Perrin turned on Hildreth with an accusation. the latter issued a prompt retort, and the two rushed at each other
 We're Discussing Land
 The meeting was called to consider unfinished business held over from the meeting of last July. After act ing on two claims of lawyers for at torneys fees, the board turned to the discussion of lands. .fs
 Perrin. Jumps to Feet
 Nit Simms, secretary of state, of fered resolution proposing no action be taken on cancellation of lands in which Dr. Perrin was interested pending the hearing in court of the case involving Perrin and interests represented by Hildreth Jones, Boyce and Simms voted in the affir- native. Governor Campbell voted in the negative.
 Claims He's Wronged This brought Dr. Perrin to his feet. He said that he had been wronged and that the board should wait until his case against the Santa Fe railroad company, involving land titles, had been settled in court. He boldly at lstacked the board saying: { F told you what would happen to Ross and it did happen" Dr. Perrin asked that in some way he should be protected" The chairman suggested that the land department had not placed Dr. Perrin's interests in ieo- pardy and in the midst of the dis cussion, Perrin and Hildreth had their altercation.

 The major is just the man for the position he occupies. Although a West Pointer and an army man all his life, he takes deep interest in. local affairs. Among other things he told the editor he had never seen a finer bunch of sleek. fat cattle than he saw grazing east of Lordsburg.

 "Now this great motor convoy sent by the government, is here and F an glad of it.
 Last year there passed through Arizona 15 200 autos and 5000 were shipped by freight. The value of tourist traffic cannot be estimated.
 "The time is here, not in the con- ing generation but right here now when we are commencing to build the finest system of roads the world has ever seen.
 Mai. Franklin, I wish you might have arranged to come up on our branch of the highway, but want to assure you that you will find loyal boosters in Southern Arizona. Our good roads in the state now represent about s27,O0O,OOO, and we are not going to stop"
 The Colonel paid glowing tribute to MT. Rountree, with whom he has been working for years.

M |NE MANAGERS HOLD MEETING
 AT TUCSON


 Mining conditions in general were meeting of the Arizona chapter of the American Mining Congress, held Moitday afternoon at the Hotel Santa Rita
 Many of the most influential mining men of the state and other places were present.
 It was developed during the meet ing that mining conditions, on the whole, are regarded as satisfactory, excepting the market TOT copper which it is said, at the pesent time is not sufficient to take care of production.
 Until the foreign markets open up there is nothing ahead to give any considerable encouragement to min ing operations in Arizona, it was stated. Things are now undergoing a period of readjustment all over the world. and the mining industry is one of the few things that have suffered.
 Copper Sale Handicapped
 The sale of copper is handicapped at the present time because of the low rate of exchange on foreign money, which has automatically work ed against market with foreign nations @ Appreciation was expressed of the courtesy always shown the congress at it's meetings, which are usually held in Tucson.
 It was decided that the annual meet ing of the congress will be held early in December at Phoenix.

THURSDAY. MAY 20. 1920.

The death in Winnipeg, Canada, Sun
day night of Ex-Governor Robert B.
Glenn of North Carolina brought to an
end the life of man who had done
much to promote better citizenship and
a higher order of living not only in his
own State but in many other States.
Governor Glenn was staunch cham
pinn of prohibition who travelled much
in behalf of the cause and being a strong
speaker was able to impress his views
upon others. He was also a Democrat
of national prominence. He was a
classmate of President Wilson at the
University of Virginia and in the cam
paign of 1916 crossed the continent in u
speechmaking tour urging the reelec-
ton of Mr.. Wilson.

THE OLD STATE ROAD

A motor trip from Charleston to
Columbia over the old State road for
the first time is a revelation to the
up-countryman. The distance is a
little less than by rail and one passes
through Charleston, Dorchester, Berke-
ley, Orangeburg, Calhoun and Lex
ington counties. thence into Richland
county to the capital city. For miles
and miles, las far as the eye can reach"
the road is as straight as a tout string.
In many places, especially in the Holly
Hill section, the road is in bad shape.
Numerous causeways i'm Orangeburg
county are in dangerous condition and
should be repaired at once. if for no
other reason than to save the county
the possibility of damage suits:
One gets very much closer to nature
in the low-country than is possible in
most of the up-country. Much of the
low.country is yet primeval and is apt
to remain undeveloped unless the
national government comes to the
assistance of the State by putting
through large drainage projects, which
would cause the country to blossom
like rose, for much of the soil is as
fertile as that of the Mississippi delta
and the climate is everything that
man could wish for. AS it is, the
white people of most of the coun-
ties through which the old State road
runs are vastly outnumbered by the
negroes. The white people find it hard
to withstand the malaria trans mitted
through the bite of the mosquito.
which breeds by the million in the
stagnant pools. Consequently most of
these people lack the energy to i'm
prove conditions. Many little boys
and girls. as well as their elders, have
Sallow compilations that remind one of
an overripe pumpkin.
The lack of school facilities also is
noticeable in the country districts of
he low-country and the people have
less comfortable houses to live in than
the people of this section. But il isn't
hese things that so much impress
the up-countryman. His mind dwell
most on the beauty of the Immediate
'nvironment of the old State road.
For mile after mile the road is bordered
IN either side by moss covered trees
whose branches almost meet, forming
delightful, picturesque driveway that
IS both enchanting to the eve and re-
freshing to the body.

School Bond Offers Rejected.

Since the $50, 900 school bond issue
was approved by the voters of the Fort
Mill district few weeks ago, the board
of trustees have received two or three
offers for the bonds, but none Of these
was satisfactory and all have been re-
jected. Notwithstanding the failure to
sell the bonds, however, the trustees
purpose to go ahead with the enlarge
ment of the school building, having ar
ranged to secure otherwise the neces-
sary funds, which will be repaid when
the bonds are finally sold.
