AIR TRAVEL TERMED
 SAFE BY ARMY PILOT

LAWTON, Okla, March 11.-Avia- tion transportation is now as safe as railway transportation. In fact, there are fewer accidents in proportion to the mileage covered than on the rail- roads, according to Lieutenant-C Colonel Paul w. Peck's annual report on fly ing.
 Lieutenant Colonel Beck is the as sistant commandant at Post Field and has had much experience as flyer. His report stated that pilots in cross country flying travelled 826,00O miles last year. Planes flying around the field totalled S46,0OO miles. Together the total mileage flown is equal to sixty-seven times around the world.
 During 1921 eleven persons were killed in airplane accidents. This makes the average distance flown to each man killed approximately 152,- 900 miles.

WILL CALL FOR BIDS

"Under the provisions of the Fed eral Highway Act" said Mir. CAoath- am, Cit will be necessary to call for bids on certain projects, including the local work and that to be done out of Ketchikan. Several large contrac- tors, who have built in the past roads for the Forest Service, assured me while I was in Portland that they would submit bids. However, the Blu reau of Public Roads is not dependent on contractors to do the work and if the offers submitted are considered excessive. we will go ahead with the work with our own organization" He said that preparations were already under way to take care of all con- tingencies. During his visit to Port land he secured six new trucks and three tractors to add to the equip ment already possessed by the Bu- reau in Alaska.
 Work on every project included in the program approved at the confer ence in Portland will be launched as early as weather conditions will permit, said MT. Cheatham. Repre- sentatves of construction companies who plan to bid on the work will probably come north within a short time, or as soon as snow conditions will allow them to go over the routes and make estimates on the jobs.

FOREST SERVICE TO PUSH WORK
 EYAK ROAD

Approval of the tentative Alaska road program including extending the Eyak Highway, and working plans for the approaching season of the For est Service was given by Associate Forester E. A. Sherman and T. w.. Norcross, chief engineer of the For est Service, at the recent conference held at Portland according to state ment made by c. w. Cheatham, SUI pervisor for Alaska of the Bureau of Public Roads.
 This action of the conference, said Mr. Cheatham, virtually assures the carrying out of the program as or iginally outlined by District Forester Charles H. Flory several weeks ago. It is necessary for the working plans to be submitted to the Secretary of Agriculture under the provisions of the Federal Highway Act, but his ap- proval of the plans which already have the endorsement of the heads of the Forest Service is believed to be certain ,A.,..,,, . .i-.~ -.tt

INTERESTING STORY
OF CAPE COD CANAL
WANTED BY THE U. S.

! Sandwich, Mass. Jan. 1.-The Cape
Cod Canal, the purchase of which
f, for s11, 100000 is now before Congress
on recommendations by Secretaries
Weeks, Hoover and DENLY, is an
artificial waterway with a history.
| The project was conceived two CEN
turtles ago and at different times was
the subject of various proposals, all
| of which failed of fruition. 1t was
not until seven years ago the canal
was completed, cutting the long arm
of Cape Cod off from the rest of
Massachusetts.
| The Canal was constructed by the
! Boston, Cape Cod and New York
| Canal Company, of which August
Belmont was president. 1t runs
through the towns of Sandwich and
| Bourne. 1t connects Cape Cod Bay
and Buzzards Bay, shortening the
distance between New York and New
England ports by some 65 miles. and
+, so avoiding the graveyard Of ships
en- the ocean side of Cape Cod. 1t is
| 10 miles in length, with a width
varying from 100 to soc feet, and a
depth of IS feet at mean low water.
Eight miles Of the waterway were
cut through land purchased by the
company, and five miles dredged
through government waters to q
depth of 25 feet in Cape Cod and
Euzzards Bays. The charter on
which the project was carried ont was
srra nf a1 IN, la Gfafa re
sets. June ], 1899, excavation was
begun June %, 1900, and the canal
was opened July 20. 1914. The cost
Of construction has been estimated by
engineers at approximately a million
dollars a mile.
AS war measure the canal was
placed under the jurisdiction OF the
railroad administration July 25n 1915,
by order of President Wilson and the
railroad administration operated 1t
until February 20, 1920. Since that
time except for short period it has
been operated by the canal company,
although the government having in
stituted proceedings 70 acquire it by
right OF eminent domain, the COM
pany claimed that the government
by that act became the technical
owner. Differences between the COM
pany and the government over the
exact status of the waterway led to
its closing for three weeks in March
1920. A congestion of shipping
awaiting passage resulted and it was
only at the request Of the Governor
of Massachusetts that the canal was
reopened.
After jury trial in the Federal
district court the canal company was
awarded s16.S01. POI as the price to be
paid by the government. This YER
dict was set aside by the Court of
Appeals. Conferences subsequently
led to.a tentative offar by government

Natl. Farm Bureau
Plans Organization
Of Women on Farms

Chicago, Jan. 4-Protests by farm
women against being called over
worked and doHntrodden have fol
lowed steps taken by the American
Farm Bureau Federation for ma
tional organization of women on the
farm.
Farm women in numbers are be-
ginning to realize the harmful effect
of this old fashioned publicity" de-
clares Mrs. Izetta Brown of King
wood, w. Va, a leader IN this move
ment.
The farm women who have
awakened to their own possibilities
say quite frankly that they want to
start campaign of optimism about
country life. They don't want to be
pitied, nor patronized, just under
stood-and il possible, a little ideal
lied! They would appreciate it for a
change"
For the first time the movement is
general all over tie United States for
farm women to join the farm clubs
of various sorts. Mrs. Brown reports.
by working in clubs in various
communities the farm women have
learned the value of organized effort
in improving country life conditions"
she said.
Il know of one little community of
about IS families in West Virginia
where the school teacher and others
had talked for years about piping
running water into the school house
from a spring just up the hNl. The
first year after the farm women or
ganized into club they saw to it
that the spring water was piped into
the school.
There is something easy to be
done in each community that will inn
prove living and social conditions and
each little success is leading the en-
terprising farm women on to higher
ideals
They are realising their power in
bringing about better school condi-
tons for others children and each
time anything is done to make the
boys and girls happier. and more con-
tented. the mothers know they are
increasing the chances Of holding the
children on the farm.

zI0N!SIS AND BRITISH
TO EXPLOIT LANDS BE-
You'd RIVER JORDAN

Jerusalem, Dec. Shy MALI
Great interest has been aroused here
by semi official announcement that
an agreement has been reached be-
tween the British government and n
group of men representing the Zionist
organization for the exploitation OF
lands lying beyond the river Jordan
and the Dead Sea. il has always
been known that proper development
would reveal the presence OF oils and
other minerals in great quantity In
that section of the country.
From reliable sources, il IL under-
stood that the agreement involves "a
tract of land extending from the
Syrian coast on the North to the val
ley of Mojeb on the South and from
the town of Eltuba on the East to
the River Jordan and the Dead Sea
on the West.
The company Is given a period Of
five years in which To carry on the
preliminary work. Should oil or any
other minerals be found, an extension
of time would be given provided the
company pays to the British govern
ment 900 as a royalty fee. Besides,
straight tax of one shilling is de-
manded on each and every ton of oil
or other minerals taken from the
ground.
What such n venture will mean TO
the life Of Palestine is not hard TO
guess. Closely connected with the
search for oil would be the need for
generating electricity from the wat
ers of the River Jordan with which To
carry On the work. Railroad lines
would also have TO he constructed in
all directions, in order to facilitate
transportations Of the mineral pro-
ducts found. With oil. electricity and
railroads. Palestine would be bound
to receive a great impetus toward in
dustrial progress.
The striking feature OF the whole
affair. is that it points to departure
on the part of the government from
it's waiting policy as regards new en-
terprises. The government, Of Pales-
tine is poor and lacks funds with
which to develop the hidden resources
of the land. SOnly by private initia-
tive and private capital could the
country be built up. II II asserted
here that thus far the government
which takes its orders from London.
has not only failed to lend moral
support. but has gone so far as to
discourage and even stop new ven
lures.
