French official refers with more or
less justified contempt to Ameri-
cas- lack Of progress in this feature
of warfare.
The latter charge is too true for
comfort. It was proved true at
a cost Of more than $1,000, ooo, 900
cash outlay. and delay costly in
lives and treasure when we entered
the world war. We have almost
forgotten that lesson, though we
will be paying for it for years to
come.
The present rivalry in Europe
ought to wake US up. 1t should not
be forgotten when our next con-
gress is asked to appropriate for
aerial service.
In the meantime we may take
what comfort we can find in the
news that American flyers have per-
fected a device for taking on new
fuel supplies in the air. But that
comfort must be discounted by the
renewed evidence of our tendency
to tell the world all such secrets

Survey Planned

RIvERTON. wyo.. July T. One
of the important matters that is re-
ceiving the attention of the Riverton
Chamber of Commerce at this time is
the securing of a survey for a rail
road up Little Wind River. A won
derful territory is in course of deve,-
opment there, and it will be one of
the large sugar beet producing areas
of the territory in the near future. a
railroad is needed and is claimed to
be feasible. Efforts will be made to
have this survey made in the very
near future. along with all estimates
for the cost of construction. There
is good reason to believe that the
road will be built in the comparative
ly near future.
Representatives of the Lander and
Riverton Chambers of Commerce got
to gether one evening last week and
agreed on making the road from Raw.
Inns to the South Entrance to the
park to u from Rawlins to Lander,
Lander to Riverton. Riverton to Du-
bois. thence to connect with Forest
reserve Dad to Moran. AS n result
of the meeting recommendations for
this road were sent to the state high
way department and also to Mr.. John
aon, head of the government bureau
of roads. whose approval is necessary.

David Hafhenham, Jr.. is in the l..

accident in the local o. 8. L. yards.
The youth. who is but Is years OF
age, and very small for his age. was
making his way home, as a freight
train passed slowly by him. He de-
cided to ride. as many youths eft
times do under the same circum-
stances, and for this in~discretion
must go through the remainder of his
life a cripple.
He grasped the handle of a a and
his grip slipped. swinging him under
the heavy trucks. A wheels ran over
his right leg. and a bone of his left
ankle was brokn. The accident was
observed, by members of the Ed Eag-

first to the rescue. The unfortunate
youth. who is a Junior in the KEN

ed to the hospital, where 1t was found
that a~mputation was necessary.

Arapahoe Chief Dies

The Arapahoe Indians arc again
without a tribal chief as a result of
the death q. Ch:el Littleshie'd that
occurred at his camp on the rcserva-
ton near Arapahoe. Death followed
a ~protracted illness OF cancer. He
was estimated by tribesmen to have
been about sixty-five years of age
when death overlook him.
Littleshield was elected tribal chief
in 1920 following the death of Chief
Lone Bear and while serving in that
capacity for. the brief space OF only
three years he won a valuable repu-
tation as a wise counselor and a friend
of tribesmen n whites alike. He
was an unusual example of manhood
and always held himself aloof. de-
testing immortality. vice in every form
the use of intoxicants. wa a devout
church attendant and by his examples
Of better living hoped to influence
his followers and especially the young
err generation to better things. Chief
Littleshield believed more in the in
fluence of suggestion and co opera
ton with his followers than the ex-
hibition Of force and harshness. He
was an orator of wonderful ability
personality enabled him to hold his
listeners at will for hours.
Chief Littleshield was twice mar
ried. His first wife proved untrue as
he learned soon after they were mar
ried and because she was to have n
child not of himself he left her. The
child, a girl. survives, but the mother
died several a ago. To his second
wife L~itt'eshield was all that could
be expected of a true husband n
lover. He was faithful to her always
and his reward was the affection and
care OF a true mate even to the last.

respect, and lines of his face was

WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR
ALASKA?

Alaska, the land of untold wealth
has lost population. has decreased
production, and generally gone back
since 1910. The permanent pop
ulation is now fixed at 10000, half
of which are Indians, half-breeds
and Eskimos. So it can be see
that there isn't much doing.
This doesn't mean that the Unit
ed States did not make a good bar
gain when it bought Alaska from
Russia in 1867. The original pur-
chase price was $~7,2OO,00o, and
other costs make a total of $780,
100000. Up to 1922 Alaska has
produced in its mines and fishery
and fur industries products to the
value of S1,100,000,000
There is ma way of estimating
the mineral and timber wealth in the
59O,SS4 square miles in its area.
President Harding may find what
Alaska needs when he visits there.
First of all increased transportation
must be furnished SO that the COL
onists may settle the appropriated
districts. The government has
just completed one railroad at a cost
of $56,0O0.00O running from Sew
ard to Fairbanks, a distance of 467
miles. In such a thinly populated
territory as it covers it is running
at a loss.
Conservation Of the vast forests
will guarantee a future supply for
the use of the whole country. Es-
pecially important is the conserva-
ton of spruce which furnishes the
paper pulp for newspaper. Care
full management and the application
of approved forestry methods will
support permanently a pulp and
paper manufacturing industry equal
to one-third of the present consump-
ton of pulp products Of the United
States.
The fishing industry has been
the principal activity of the pion-
GERS. Protection of the salmon is
now necessary because of the reck-
less and wasteful exploitation which
has been going on and which threat
ems to wipe them out.
The agricultural possibilities are
very great. These have been lost
sight of in the scramble for the min
eral wealth, but the valleys of the
long rivers of the territory are fer
tile with rich alluvial soil in which
may be grown wheat, rye, hay, tur-
nips, parsley, pdas, cabbage, po-
t%atoes. spinach and other vegetables.
Perhaps the greatest thing to be
done for Alaska is a simplifieation
of the government which is now
managed by thirty-five bureaus and
departments of the United States
government.

CALIFORNIA LEADS
AGAIN

Surprising is the fact that CALI
fornia, the land of flowers and of
joy, heads the list Of states in the
number of suicides. No less than
81 out of 100000 Californians took
their own lives during 1922, while;
in New York the rate was only 1875
and in New Jersey 1877. Of sew
enty-six important cities San Diego
came first, Sacramento second, San
Francisco third and Los Angeles
fourth.
Here is something for the native
sons to explain. Why should any
human being, in the midst of what
has SO frequently been represented
rs the garden spot Of the world,
hasten to leave it forever? Why
should any one wish to remain in
the hustle, the hustle, the clatter
and the clang of New York or New
Jersey? Yet very few leave these
two states voluntarily. for the other
side of the grave. Perhaps Cali
fornians are driven to despair by
the fear that they may have to move
out of the state.
Can it be that having once found
something flawless, the climate, il
n may mention so delicate a SUBJ
ject, the Californian, native or
adopted. decides that all the rest
Of life must fall below this perfec-
ton, and in despair takes off for a
place where the climate is also said
to be perfect? No one else would
ever end his earthly career for a
similar reason.

OUR HAT is OFF TO MRS.

There is a lady in Iowa who de-
serves a gold medal. She is an
honor to her sex and an ornament to
society. Her name is Mrs. Frank
Knight, and she was President Hard

he met Mrs. Knight by chance-the

was there visiting her married son.
