Alaska's Winter Season.
(Cordoya Times


 In their zeal to disspate erroneous impressions in the public mind the all-the-year- round Win ter climate Alaska. Alaskans have gone a bit too far in overlooking the great advantages that are afforded by the Territory's Winter This is pointed cut by Major Gotwals of the Alaska Road Commission in describing the extent of the work being done in the Interior in the matter of Winter freghting Because of the long period of clear weather uniform temperature, and light snowfall north of the Coast Range the Winter season affords ideal conditions for freightng at low cost. In the of caterpillar tractors well-lad sled trails the cost of freight transportation is about fifty cents per ton-mile. What this fact to the mining remembered that by the cld-dog method freight into such districts the Kuskokwim and the Idtarod has cost frem twenty yfye cents dollar and more pound. That made roads necessary freight ing being carried ordinary sed-trails and along the of the rivers and creeks is one of Interior Thus taken advantage of it becomes a god send to country whose surface conditions make Sum mer transportation impossible except well-con- structed roads, With the completion Of wagon road feeders to the two railway lines cutting the Territory north and south Winter freighting into hitherto isolated mining and farming districts will so lower the cost of development that there will be no further bar 10 the settlement Of the country and the growth Of it's industries Alaskas Winter season is one of it's greatest assets.

Westminster Abbey Honors Page.
New York Pnst l

st. Lee Srachey's suggestion of a tablet in the Abbey to Walter Hines Page, seconded by the great est English statesmen and approved by the Dean deserves American gratitude Every American who enters the historic church feels thrill
 as he sees, hard by the tombs of Chaucer Spenser Browning, and Tennyson, and the busts of Milton Dryden, and other great poets of the race Brock s fine bust of Longfellow. There is a memorial in the Abbey to Lowell while every transatlantic visitor pauses before the manument which Massachusetts erected 10 Lord Howe. the wreath which Amer ans placed above Andres sarcophagus, and the stained glass windows which American gave in memory CT the poets Herbert and Cowper. Our sense that the Abbey is part of sour tradition will be increased new that statue to Linccn stands before it and a tablet 10 Page is to be placed within England could pay no higher honor to the Ambassador The tund that has been collected is expected to suffice Tor other purposes as well-for a Page scholarship in the British universities; but Mir Strachey lighted upon the greatest tribute. We can only say in repy that if we had an Abbey memorial to James Bryce
 But the most enduring monument to Page he erectd himself. His letters have been admired in thls country, but we cannot fully appreciate the chord they strike in British breasts. His warm sym pathy with a land in the agony of war his instant and complete appreciation of all that was highest in British aims, the fervor of his hope that America would join the struggle for democracy made him more than an Ambassador. He became a perma- nent force for understanding between two peoples

CURZON HAS TROUBLE
 PREPARING HIS NOTE
Another Cabinet Council Called To
 Consider Reparations Crisis

LONDON. July 20.-(By Associated Press.)-Another cabinet council has been summoned for tomorrow to con sider further the draft of the British reply to Germany on reparation. This announcement was made late tonight.
 Lord Curzon is experiencing more difficulty In the preparation of his note to Germany than had been of his pected. It is now reported that the note and the accompanying letter may not be dispatched to the allies until next week. but whether the trouble has arisen from political fric- tion within the cabinet, as alleged in some quarters, or simply from the in- herent difficulty of framing a reply to Germany which would not offend France, Is not evident.

LOOPHOLE IS SEEN FOR ELECTION OF
 SUPERINTENDENTS
Old System May Be Put Back In Some
 Counties
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD


 A hole through which a flood of local bills for the election of county superintendents will come was made by the senate committee on local legislation Thursday afternoon when 1t voted to make favorable report on the local bill for Coffee county. The bill was passed by the house at the spring session. Several local bills for the election of a superinten- dent by the people have been intro duced. Harwell G. Davis, attorney general, advises H. M. Sessions, author of the Coffee bill, that deci- local laws which change effect of general laws in some counties with out repeating them are not in viola tion of the constitution.
 Opponents of the election of super intendents by the people admitted under the written rule that local bills will be passed where the senate and house delegations from particular counties are in agreement.
 Modifies Election Hole.
 Political parties which refuse to hold primary elections will be pre- vented from having their nominees placed on the ticket under an emblem if the bill of Representative Travis W llllaInS or fTaHkllH DeCOuneS ldN. The bill was introduced in the house Thursday. The purpose of the bill is to prevent adherents of one political party from participating In the pri- mary of another party. Parties which do not hold primaries would have their nominees on the ticket in gen. eral elections, but would not have emblems nor would the name of the political parties appear over the columns containing their nominees. Representative Williams bills also provides for the double primary.
