ANCHORAGE CUEssERS TAKE
 ICE POOL LOSS WITH SMILE

The following, from the Anchor age Times, proves that Anchorage guessers are good sports:
 Jack Robarts is in receipt of a telegram from the ice pool officials of Nenana complimenting him on the manner he handled the local sales. Jack sold one thousand tickets at one dollar per and is only sorry that none of the Anchorage contestants guessed right the very first time" At that Paddy Welch also ran and canie within three min utes, or 1sO seconds of winning the pot. The winners, seven in all, guessed the hour of ? p. m. of May g. Paddy was three minutes too late. Other near winners in Anchorage were Robarts with a guess of POT, and Victor Johnson, l :5S, even closer than Paddy Welch.
 "The annual event has been the cause of considerable excitement To- cally and the date of the breakup has been watched with close atten- tion. There are no sore spots in An chorage, but the local fans are deter mined to get the money back in baseball this summer"

BOISE, IDAHO, May 12 Forty seven Idaho rattlesnakes, iansing from ten to twenty inches long, are being prepared here :or ship ment to Amsterdam, Holland, where some of them will be place9 in a geological garden and others sed by the Dutch government ir ex- perimental work. The Holland gov ernment is said to be working on a serum which, when combi ed with the poison from ratt,esrakes and injected into a persons muscles, is expected to cure rheumatism.
 The snakes were caught by Robert Limbert, a local man, about twelve miles from town and all within a space twenty feet square. He said only an hour and a quater was required to complete the job.
 MT Limbert declared that, con trary to popular belief, the removal of the fangs of a rattlesnake does not render them harmless for all time. He asserted that a new set of fangs will grow back into place in about three weeks. @:.. =.

GoTWALS OPTIMISTIC


 ted States government is taking in providing more liberal funds for road and trail construction. and with the new country made acces- sible by railroad construction, a buoyant development may be looked for in Alaska, according to state ment made by Colonel John C.. Gotwals, vice-chairman of the Alas ka Road Commission. He said re- gently in an Anchorage interview
 "It is desired to emphasize that the provision of means of transpor- tation, trails, roads. railroads or water carriers, cannot of themselves create economic development. All make it possible, but the rugged prospector, the small deveolper and the great mining company create and carry over the means, provid- ing the business-creating tonnage. It is this condition in Alaska today that makes a real knowledge of pio- neer conditions in essential to the trail and road work.
 "It is this condition that for many years has placed the supervi- sion of our work largely under carefully selected and trained local superintendents. To such men the significance of such terms as gee pole flats or tundra bring instant comprehension. Again such men realize that here, as in the case of the pioneer soldier in war the only inexcusable error is not to give aid at the critical time. Often this aid, due 10 small means, has been the toughest blazed trail, but it is essential that the aid be given thru out at once. ~--.. -
 With this in view the mere con structing of monumental roads fol lowing the dictates of topography alone would be of iitrie value for present development. On the other hand the following in of each stage of individual operations in our chief mining-with early aid and that designed to help each stage of development, but planning this aid so that major or trunk lines of communication will finally result, will give the most encouraging de velopment. 4 good example of such development is that of the Willow Creek mining district. This road originally started in pre-railroad days as sled road from Knick, was later improved only from Was fila to the government railroad and is now an excellent gravelled road and has, with improvement, given progressive aid 10 the now substan- tial quartz district of Willow Creek.
 'In one additional respect, the provision of roads in our present state of development demands econ omic sense. That is the provision of roads contiguous 10 settlements. Such construction must be plan ned only as called for by the growth of the town. The mere matter of providing means for a town to ex- pand does not in itself cause the growth. Towns grow with the growth of the tributary country that nourishes them. Examples of this are near at hand. The work done to aid the oil prospector now drilling under such trying conditions at Pearl Greek Dome is vastly more important for the growth. of the towns of southwestern Alaska than is the construction of roads from the towns themselves.

how to control currents for transmits

These great experiments are the
indirect result of the work Of a young
man named Faraday, later famous
as scientist, in 1882. He noticed
that when the current was started or
stopped in a coil OF wire, a spark
came from another conductor nearby.
This fact, called induction, made pos

that make transmission from distant
waterfalls possible today.

LIKELIHOOD
OF SPECIAL
SESSION NIL
Coolidge Must Sit Back and
Hold Peace Until Some
thing Turns Up,
By JOHN CARSON,
Times Staff Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-Presi-
dent Coolidge would invite political
suicide for himself and his party by
calling special session of Congress.
The President is forced by conditions
to sit back, hold his peace, and, like
Micawber, hope for something to
turn up"
This is the view Of Republican
leaders in the Senate and a view they
have not hesitated to impress on the
President. So, despite Senator Bo-
rah's picture of a threatening eco
nomic and political revolution in the
farm States, and the cry of Northwest
bankers for immediate legislation,
there is little likelihood of a special
session now.
Committees at Work
In the meantime, Coolidge has spe-
cial committees at work. They are
gathering statistics in an eudeavor
to show the farmer his condition is
not so bad and additional statistics to
contend the future holds out hope
for better times on the farm.
Consider the case Of Senator Len
root Of Wisconsin should q special
session be called? Lenroot was once
a progressive He has been q regu-
lar for some time. President Coolidge
and the conservative Republicans Of
the East count on his support.
But IL the President called a special
session of Congress, Lenroot would be
embarrassed. He predicted bank
ruptcy for the wheat farmers II the
Fordney- McCumber tariff bill were
enacted. 1t was enacted and bank
ruptcy conditions followed. To be
consistent, Lenroot would have to de-
rnand immediate revision downward
of the profteering schedules OF the
tariff bill. Lenroot would be faced
by these words. uttered by himself:
Gooding Meets High Tariff
Unfortunately, the Senator from
Idaho Senator Gooding) cannot con.
vince the American people Of the cor
rectness Of the position he takes. that
no tariff Is too high to suit him The
Senator wants an embargo upon ev-
orything we produce. and If that pol
ICY could be carried into effect, he
would strike a blow at every wheat
grower in America. at every farmer
in America who must have q foreign
market for his surplus.
Lenroot could not have predicted
conditions more accurately II he had
been the greatest of prophets. The
conditions he painted came TO pass
with the adoption OF the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff bin.

Christian Science

An advertisement headed, rhs

Such impressions and inferences are
wrong, for the religion designated by

way connected with the Christian
Science organization, neither are In
diviluals claiming membership Of af.
f1liation with that religion connected
with Christian Science or its acttvi-
ties.
Unfortunately, this erroneous TN
preston is emphasized by the fact
that the author Of lhe advertisement
under consideration has quoted nber.
ally from the Christian Science text
book, Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Ed
dy, and has thereby made It appear
that 1.-THE Catholic Religion" Is not
only based upon the Christian Science
textbook, but that the relation of that
religion to Christian Science is estab-
nshed by the quotation given.
No doubt the tribute given to Christ.

Bv HERBERT QUICK.


MERICA is a people. 1t is DIFF
| a ferent from any other people.
LII 1t Is q people made OF ele-
ments from the ends of the earth,
most of them from Europe; but 1t Is
more than the sum Of all that entered
into it. You add up the British, the
Irish, the German, the Scandinavian,
the southern European, Balkan and
eastern European elements in 1t, and
they make a certain amount; but
America is a different and greater
quantity. For as America was made
there entered into it the magic ele-
rnent of growth and transformation
and fusion and multiplication through
growth.
If any American, whether born in
this country or not, desires to begin
thinking on the problem of what made
America, I should commend to him
the reading of a book entitled THE
Frontier in American History" 1t is
by Frederick J. Turner, once profess
sor of history at the University Of
Wisconsin, but for some years the
occupant of a similar chair at Har-
ward.
New Conception
The book will bring to many new
conception of what America is as well
as Of how she was builded. America
is what she is because we have had
a means of changing folk from gen
Grafton to generation under conditions
of freedom on our frontier.

into New Jersey and on into Pennsyl-

that If we would keep America a

think of the land question as the most
important one in America today.

DESIRES
By BERTON BRALEY

Man looks for little here below,
A little chance, maybe,
To find in Love a little glow,
In Youth a little glee;
A little time for fTivoling
Before the years are shriveling
A spirit glad and free.
Man gets but little here below,
Nor keeps that little long;
A little hour perhaps to know
A little mirth and song,
A little strength for laboring,
A little time for neighbOring
With friends among the
throng.
Man looks for little here below,
And little does he get,
Save, now and then, little show
To earn, by work and sweat,
A little cash for squandering
On pleasuring or wandering
To ease the heart of fret
Man, hoping little here below,
Wins even less, it's true.
Most of his little visions go
Quite swiftly up the fuel
Life has a heap of stings to it,
Yet, golly. how man clings to it
Until his time is through!
