communication with the rest of the world-the sea.
 About thirty miles of road has al ready been installed with wide benefit in the Daering section and a govern ment constructed road of about 15 miles length exists in the Candle dis trict. Both are so situated that they may be readily extended to connec. with q trans peninsula line from Nome. If the Candle road should be connected with the Deering road xia the coal mines along the Inmachuk river and both attach to the Nome Kougarok road. the coal deposits of the Candle section would become- available to the more southery sec tions of the peninsula. 1nasmuch as fuel is the first essential to existence in this far northern cline. the benefit that will accrue to the people by such q development can hardly be overes timated.
 To delineate the beneficial effects and even briefly outline the increase of development which is certain to fol low the installation of a trunk line road of the suggested character is in- possible within the limited scope of q letter. A small volume would be re- quired to explain in detail the poten tial possibilities embraced within the district which the proposed road would traverse. It is certain. however. that the resources are such as to fully war rant the costs of such q construction and will re pay a rich reward to the nation in an increase of wealth pro duction through the development of known sources of production. The mineral production of the district is still confined by transportation limit ations to a comparatively small per tion of the peninsula and vast areas of known values are still practically unexploited. Probably nowhere within the American domain can the government effect road Improvements with greater assurance of profitable return than in this section.

URGES PILOT LIGHTS FOR koYuK
Unalakleet, Alaska. May 3). 1920

Unalakleet, Alaska. May 3)., 1920
 An increase of gold production and a decrease in the price of commodities could be achieved in the Dime creek section if our beneficent government could be induced to place two channel or guide lights in line on the bar which fronts the entrance to the Kuyuk River channel.
 The channel of the Kuyuk runs out into Norton Sound for a distance of seven miles with an average depth of seven feet at low tide, until 1t ends at q bar running across Norton Sound. This bar is q couple of miles wide and can be crossed by loaded schoones only at high tide. If the high tide oc- CUTS during the night. the mariner, with no lights to guide him. drops anchor if he is wise and waits until daylight before attempting to reach the channel. If he does not do so and tries to make it as best he may. he is liable to run aground and must then wait for high tide to take him off. Realizing this possibility tl,e ship own- CT meets it with increased transporta- tion charges. Inability to cross the bar when the most favorable time oc. CUTS at night also makes it impossible at times to get enough grub to the camp to keep it going full blast all winter-hence the opening sentence of this letter.
 If q light were placed on the outer side of the bar and another on the in. ner side at the end of the river cham mel the mariner could lay his course by the lights. Once in tha cha mel the rest of the journey is easy.
 We have channel lights here at Una- lakleet. installed by the government and kept in good order by our public spirited store keeper. and there is very little traffic here as compared to Dime creek. We also have lights sa4 the mouth of the Yukon. Why not in Norton Bay? Some one should get Delegate Grigsby on the job.
 The old Unalakleet mission has beon torn down to make way for hospital building to be erected this summe~. Sentiment is not permitted to block the wheels of progress.
 The mission was built by Missionary Karlson. now deceased. in 1887 and was. the writer believes. the oldest mission in the district North and West of St Michael. Under the guidance Of Mir Karlson. the old mission witnessed the first awakening of the native mind and tho beginning of their progress to- ward complete civilization.
 The founder of the mission died about ten years ago and granite monument was erected to his memory with money contributed by the n,tives for that purpose. His death left want amongst them that is hard to fill. for he was not alone their mis- sionary but also guide. counsellor and friend. His epitaph:
 When he arrived they were all heathens and when he died they were all Christians" is but just.

Better Than Cotton.

By way Of illustrating the remarkable
gains OF food-crop values in Georgia and the
south, the Lyons Progress presents some
meaty figures on peanut production
Not until three years ago, it points out,
dld the peanut harvest in this section amount
TO much outside of certain parts of North
Carolina and Virginia. In 1917 peanuts
were planted rather extensively as a substi
tute money crop" for cotton, which was
then IN the troublous tides of the boil weevil
INVASION Notwithstanding that markets for
the new product had to be established and
developed, the records show that even in that
experimental year "the money value of the
crop was th1rty-nine dollars an acre wbilo
IL the same region cotton brought fortv-nine
dollars an acre" N - iAi1o
But now see what occurs three wears later
In 1919" says our contemporary, 'the crop
showed value of one hundred and thirty
nine dollars and sixty cents an acre. while
the value of cotton was sixty-nine dollars
and seventy cents an acre" Divers other
1000 crops show Jcorrespondingly rapid and
SUBSTANTIAL increase over the once dominant
ana "eH-nlgh exclusive staple
No longer is there a shadow of need or
excuse for Southern States adhering to the
all-cotton system
