NORMAN RUSSELL RECEIVES
 LETTER FROM PRESIDENT

Norman Russell, messenger in the employ of the Alaskan Engineering commission, is the proud possessor of personal letter from President Wilson, commenting him for his energetic work in boosting the sales of thrift and war saving stamps at time when funds were sorely need. ed by the Government. The letter, written at the White House on October 26, 1920, reads as follows My dear young friend:
 It gives me pleasure to tell you of my deep appreciation of the intelligent and conscientious man. ner in which you, as a member of the Boy Scouts of America, have secured subscriptions for Thrift and War-Savings Stamps.
 You have won the distinction of having secured m ~e such subscrip- tions during the 1918 War-Savings campaign than any other scout in Alaska.
 You have exercised outraged, courtesy, thought and untiring effort and in SO doing have set an ex- ample for all boys-an example tha, will surely aid in the growth of valuable qualities of mind and heart. thank you in the name of the whole country, and l wish to con- vey to your parents, your commun- ity, and your Boy Scout Organiza- tion, my appreciation of the train ing that has developed in you such a fine spirit of wholesome and loyal citizenship. ." .>"
 Cordially and sincerely yours

JACOBSON SAYS TRAPPERS TAKE
 WINTER lAY0FF

The slump in fur prices has re- suited in general suspension of trapping along the lower Yukon river, according to Victor Jacob son, who arrived in Nenana yester- day from the Nome country, where he was employed during the past summer as captain of the mail boat Sea Wolf. Both white and native trappers, he says are very much down in the mouth and the set dement's are not nearly so prosper ous as they were a year ago when furs commanded a higher value.
 Jacobson left for Boring sea in the launch Peerless last spring, soon after the opening of navigation and the summer was spent aboard the Sea Wolf, carrying mail between St. Michael and Kotzebue.
 Some very rough weather was encountered during the season, one storm causing the Sea Wolf to lose two anchors. This happened when the Wolf went to Sledge island, to the rescue of the trader Colima, which went on the rocks on the island, resulting in the loss of s10,000 cargo. Owing to the posi- ton of the stranded craft, the Wolf was unable to render any assist ance and, after losing two anchors, Captain Jacobson was compelled to make a run for Teeler for protec- ton against the storm. Those on board the Colina managed to reach the island.
 The Colima was equipped with 40 h. p. engine and was regarded as staunch craft The laundering resulted from getting water in the intake during the storm.
 Jacobson did not get across to the Siberian side of Bering sea but he heard that Japanese pirates were giving considerable trouble on the coast.
 The Nome district is rather quiet this winter, Jacobson sa 8, but the people of Seward peninsula are look ing forward to a very busy season during the coming summer. Nome is becoming an important center for Boring sea traders and the harbor work there, which is being done by the Government, gives em- ployment to a considerable number of men each summer, at top wages. The scale is s1.25 an hour, for eight hours, for common labor. Bremen get s11 day, engineers SIP and bosses $14. Some of the men got in 120 shifts last summer.
 Jacobson brought some old irory with him from the Nome country, his collection consisting only of the better quality ivory. It is too far to haul any other kind, he says. i
 The trip up river was made in P days, travelling time, with 17 dogs, attached to two sleighs. Victor Jacobson handled one of the teams, and Ole Jacobson the other. Ole and Gee-pole Larson operated their sloop, Gertrude, during tho. past season, trading and freighting
 Victor Jacobson expects to leave for the Outside within a short time, but will be back in the spring in time to make a~ early start for the

BRIDGE PROSPECTS

ID ECOGNITION Of the citys interest in
N the Delaware bridge undertaking is ap-
propriately made by Governor Sproul in his
appointment Of the President Of Council,
Richard Weglein, to the commission.
Thomas j. Jeffries and Samuel NJ. Vau-
claim, the other two new additional mem
bers, are high type men, although in the
case Of the latter he approaches the ques
tion Of the BRIDGES location with precon-
cefvcd and fixed opinions.
Coming at this time, however, the nomi =
nations are likely to exert little effect upon
Recommendations of the bridge engineers
concerning either the character Of the
structure or the site to be favored. Specific
suggestions on these points are said to have
been already decided upon and will be for
mally made TO the commission one week
from today. Public hearings on the program
proposed will follow.
This is the right way to approach this
important project Special pleaders are
often narrow in their vision, but in a matter
Of such general interest they have a full
right to explain and to justify as much as
possible their particular outlooks.
Speed in the bridge work Is desirable, but
equally needed is a careful balancing OF
values to the end that the mutual interests
Of two States and two cities will be most
squitably and proportionately served.

TULSA, THE MAD

NONE of the most abhorrent features Of
~ race .rioting seems to have been absent
when the town of Tulsa, Okla, slipped
back into barbarism.
The original causes Of the hysteria, re-
sulting in the slaughter Of 100 persons,
appear to have been similar to those which
have before divorced reason from the minds
Of Americans. But no crime, however foul,
can Justify such shocking defiance of tho
sane principles of law and order.
Tulsa is stained, American civilization
is stained, by a display of passions that are
close indeed to those Of primitive savagery.
The psndemonium, the mobs, the madness.
the shootings, the burnings, the panics, the
bestialities involved In the tragedy reveal
the tenuity Of the line Of restraint distin-
gushing organized modern communities from
those Of the darkest ages.
Eulogtes Of our progress and superiority
halt In the throat when such hideousness is
remembered.
