We were down at the seaplane-
basin by 8 and after filing the Mer-
Inns tanks. took off just after the
hour. We gave her plenty Of gas and
covered the 500 kilometers to Louis

IL was useless attempting to get
near the robbed banks for the streets
We're thronged with people, packed
tight and deep. I went right to the
headquarters OF the air police, where
there was a chance that might be
known, and was lucky enough to find
the local commander an enthusiastic
supporter of the Aeronautical Re-
search Society, Of which I was an
officeholder.
The raid on Louisville was simply
the Wall street and Newark affair on
a smaller scale. The sleep had come
upon the police and the watchmen at
CLOCK IN inc morning, ana the
strongrooms of the banks had been
cut open by the same means as that
used In Now York. Gold to the
amount OF million dollars had been
taken from the four banks, with Sc
curities to an amount not stated, but
these last had been found at the post
Office in two envelopes addressed to
local hospitals. The hospitals also
were the recipients of box Of ra-

wise identical with, those left in the
New York post office.

}. E ALASKA PULP
 INDUSTRY OUTLOO

A recent survey of the pulp timber resources of Southeast
 ern Alaska by the Federal
 Power Commission discloses that the district is able to pro- vide approximately 5000 tons
 of paper a day for a long per- iod of time. A recent report to
 the Commission on the water powers of Southeastern Alaska says:
 It is only a question of time
 when the shortage of news print paper stock in the United States and Canada will com pei the manufacturers to go Ito Southeastern Alaska for their pulp timber. This indust- Try. will then develop on a large
 scale. Recent surveys show that the Forest Services early
 rough estimate of 70,OOO,O00,
 900 feet board measure as the
 amount of standing timber in
 the Tongass National Forest
 was conservative. With large
 timber supplies that can be
 made to produce possibly 100000 cords of pulp wood
 annually on a sustained-yield
 basis, or, roughly 5000 tons
 of paper a day, with thou
 sands of miles of sheltered in- land waterways that favor
 economical logging and trans
 portation, and with large re- sources of water power that
 can be developed at a relat- lively low unit cost, the pros- poets of a rapid and substant- | ial growth of this new indust- Iry in Southeastern Alaska are bright indeed"

You may be a big man. Your properties may represent 8 lot of good hard dollars. You may take an interest in politics to the extent of complaining about taxation, too much legis- lation, useless regulation of industry, etc., etc. But do you take an interest in the govern ment which protects your property? Or are you merely one of the kickers who com rlain about the "radicals?" Do you go to the polls and vote for men and measures you believe sound or do you instead, pay no attention and on election day let the fellow about whom you complain do all the voting?
 Don't kick unless you are wiling to do your duty as a citizen at the polls. No matter how ''big" you are your vote is worth no more than the poorest bum in town. The "big- ger" vou are the more neces- sary it is for you to vote, teach your children to vote and your wife to vote. Don't leave some body else to do your voting fc~ vou and then kick at the results.
 Your" government will be just as good as you help make it, and no better.

Dissatisfaction over the local road and trail construction activities of the Forestry Serv- ice is finding expression in much i'll advised criticism of the officials in charge of that portion of the bureaus act ivities. Respecting the Salmon River Road construction, it is contended in some quarters that the new section will be useless during the greater part of the year owing to locat- ion along the foot of a steep slope, where snow slides are frequent and summer thawing slow because of westerly ex- posture. Claim is also made that the present road could have been made safe from
 flood dangers at much less cost than the new construction.
 Relative to the Texas Creek pack trail it is claimed that the new highway has been made over a course that is more or less up hill both ways and furthermore, that it should have been laid out with a view
Hyder weekly herald., 1924-10-20

to future wagon road con- struction over the same route.
 The Herald does not know whether the charges are war ranted or not. It is possible that the choice of routes might have been better in both in- stances; and also that some of the work done was of rather ill-advised character. It may be, however, that the officials are not wholly to blame. Pos sibly those who planned the work were misinformed re- garding conditions or mislead by appearances. No mortal is infallible. It must also be re- membered that there are two sides to every question.
 At any rate, the matter has led to much disputation and created much i'll feeling,
 which is to be deplored more than all the faults of road or trail construction, for the reas- on that it spells increased diff ficulty in securing further road or trail Improvements. |Smarting from the sharp lash of criticism, the Forestry Serv- ice officials are certain not to cherish much kindly feeling for their critics; and this sent iment can hardly fail to be re- flected in their future dealings with this district.
 Whatever errors may have been made, the fact remains that the Forestry Service has been liberal to this section in the matter of road and trail appropriations. The money ap- propriated for this district dur ing the present year has far ex- ceeded that.of any similar For est Reserve, area in the Ter ritory. This fact betOkens a kindly sentiment that we would do we'll to cherish and preserve, rather than to dis sipate by harsh and bitter criticism. To do SO is only to harm ourselves by making more difficult the task of se- curing future road improve ments.
