It is likewise as to capital. Conditions are unfavorable to the weakling and the shoe string promoter, with their get-rich-quickly schemes Massed capital is required in the primary development of these fields of origin al opportunity. Men and companies with strong financial backing can create here new industrial world, with wealth so great as to sway the destiny of nations. They can open up myriad opportunities for the thousands who possess small means, none at all. The men of millions must do the primary work, however, as they have done in all other new countries, using all the forces commanded by capital. Here they will open vast new field of enter prise for others No group of capitalists how ever powerful, ever will be able to dominate Alaska. It is too big, its resources too varied z For obvious reasons, Alaska's publicity, giving authoritative facts, should be placed consistently before the financiers and indus trial leaders of the nation, who must precede the laborers and home builders. They must be reached through the press.
 The first necessary step toward establishing an effective publicity system is the organiza- tion of the Alaska Chamber of Commerce, through which an effective news service can be maintained. It can be made almost self supporting It should be syndicated upon large scale.

CANDIDACY MEETS WITH FAVOR

James l.. Galen, whose election as Republl- can candidate for Delegate to Congress at the Primaries next month, is being eagerly worked for by the great majority of the Republicans in Alaska, is himself "Johnny on the Spot, v making an extensive campaign on hls own be- half-he is now in the second division and travelling through every place possible. This trip, which in itself at this season, IS a very strenuous one, is undertaken by MT. Galen in order to have personal acquaintance with all his constituents, and with gratifying re- sults judging by reports from all places he has visited.
 In this personal handling of the campaign, is the keynote of MT. Galen's character, and from it we can foretell what treatment he would give Alaska in Washington.
 His own personal experiences Tn prospectlnS' make his view point as coming from complete knowledge. wherein he has realized that the fundamental need of this country IS aid Tn de- veloping by means of roads and capital, and deeds, not words.
 His own previous visits to Washington, or which he has already made many, have given him knowledge of the manner in which many of these matters should be handled.
 His permanent home and interests are right here in one of our own cities, where his cap ital is invested

The ability to withstand such oyerspeeding was also a severe requirement, owing to the utter lack of high-grade nickel steel at the time the unit was ordered. Owing to the size of the generator, special cars had to be built for the rotor and stator. The rotor gondola car had two ten-wheel trucks.-Scien- tif1c American.

Carnegie institute men in the Dry Tortugas sought to find the inhu- ence that guided them to the water. When sheet of red or yellow paper was placed between the baby turtle and the sea, it would turn and go in another direction but a blue sheet drew him toward it no matter where it was placed. It would seem, then, to be color. rather than instinct or smell. that attracts the youngsters to the water.-Scientific American.
