THE NEED FOR A GAME WARDEN

A year ago the game warden at Sew ard, MT. George Cotter, was suspend ed from office on account of lack of funds, and has since left the Ter ritory, leaving this big game section of Alaska with no game warden. As the moose country is contiguous to Seward, and all big game hunters must clear through here for westward points SewarditeS have never rightly under stood the prOprieties of placing the warden in charge of the Kenai penin- sula at Anchorage. Eight months out of the year he must come down to Mile 23 to get down the lake, and his activities are confined to district within few miles of Seward. There is no reflection to be cast upon the efficiency of the present long-range warden, but his activities should be confined to the section in which he lives and warden appointed from the ranks of the local hunters and guides.
 At recent meeting of the Seward Chamber of Commerce, Henry Frost, a local big game hunter and guide, with an extensive knowledge of the game and it's habits, was unanimously indorsed for the position. That MT. Frost is capable and efficient is. foregone conclusion. That Seward will be greatly handicapped by the lack of a local game warden is also true. It would appear from statistics presented to the governor, that Seward is one

SAILORS OF FLEET TO VISIT
 ACTIVE VOLCANO HAWAII

HlLO, Feb. 14.-Every sailor of the United States fleet, which is to visit the territory next spring for maneu- vers, will be given an opportunity to visit the volcano of Kilauea. 30 miles up the slopes from Hilo, the greatest active crater in the world.
 Avalanches and earthquakes now compose Kilaueaus activities almost solely, 47 earth shocks haveing been recorded at the volcano observatory in the week ending December r.
 Since the volcano's latest violent eruption in May, 1924, when the era ter claimed it's first human victim in modern times, there has been slight activity at the fire pit of Halemau- mau. The dimensions of the crater increased greatly by last Mays ac- tivities, are approximately $500 by 5000 feet, with depth of about one thousand three hundred feet.

CRUDE AIRPLANE CARRIED
 MAIL IN GEORGIA IN 1911

SAVANNAH, Feb. 14-Claims for Savannah as having inaugurated the aerial mail service If years ago have been set forth, by Henry Blun, who was postmaster here at that time.
 Aerial route Number One with a Curtis Plane, one of the progenitors of those now in use, picked up let ters at baseball park and carried them to a wagon less than mile away" MT. Blun said.
 One flight marked the beginning and the end of the service, the speak CT declared. Owing to the shaky condition of the machine, preparations that had been made for MT. Blun to accompany Beckwith Havens, New York pilot of the plane on the flight were abandoned, the pilot consider ing it too much of a risk.
 MT. Blun recalled the machine used as having bamboo supported wings, with the aviator occupying a precari ous perch upon small box with con. trol levers protruding at many angles in front of him.

unsatisfactory to both Democrats and Republicans in that it allows the voter no more expression of choice than did the old style convention, and is abused by the voters of each party, who con- centrate on the weak man at the pri- mary, only to encompass his defeat at the general election.
 Tn other words, if the Democratic or Republican parties place the names of more than one candidate for each office on the ballot, the party with but one candidate can refrain from voting for his candidate in the pri- mary election, and can cast his vote for the opposing party's candidates while at the general election they vote on party lines. This defeats the will of the voter and makes a farce out of the primary.
 The primary costs the Territory sev- eral thousands of dollars in expenses, the election being held at a time when most of the supplies must be carried to their destination by dogteam. The primary also causes candidate to travel about the territory at season of the year when travelling is most arduous and expensive.
 Take the case of Delegate Suther- land, for instance. He is compelled to leave Washington in February and March, making long trips over the Territory at enormous expense. The Territory is deprived of his services at Washington during this period, an his expense bill reaches probably $25OO or more for the trip Following his nomination, he is again compelled to meet his constituents, going over the same ground and paying out money for trip which could be eliminated by but one election, in the fall.
 In thickly settled districts with good transportation, a candidate can go through his district quickly and at small expense. In Alaska he must travel several thousand miles to see as many voters, and his time is lim- ited by dog team schedule and his du- ties in Washington. Were the dele gate elected for four years instead of two, he probably could afford two cleo tion campaigns. AS it is now, his ser vices are seriously handicapped by his forced electioneering.

THE HIGH PRICE OF WHEAT

The wheat growers who have wheat are verly in clover. During the politi- cal campaign in 1924, when wheat be- gan to soar in the world pits, the charge was made that speculators were busy for political purposes. There has been speculation, of course but the fact is that the price of wheat has skyrocketed since the election to more dizzy heights than before the election, and the zenith apparently has not been reached, although the price has gone above g bushel Ac- cording to the United States depart ment of agriculture there are four out standing reasons for the high price of wheat CD The acreage planted to wheat in North America in 1924 was 10 to 12 per cent less than that of 1923; CD The United States 1924 crop was 25,, 5,,000,OO0 bushels below the five-year average, and only 70,O0O ,OOO bushels over the small crop of 1923; (3) Canada's export surplus in 1923 totaled 375,OO0,00O bushels, where last year it declined to 175,OOO,O0O bushels; (4) From July to December l, 1923, the United States exported only ST., OOO,OOO bushels, while during the same period last year exports were 197, ,OOO, 900 bushels. However, the government points out that this conjecture of cir cumstances is one that is likely to oc- cur on an average only once in many years, and therefore the conclusion that continued big prices in future years may be expected is not warrant ed.

THE OLD ORDER WINS.

During the recent diphtheria epi- demic at Nome, considerable friction about threatened to develop for a time between Alaskans and govern ment officials over sending plane from Nenana to the far northern camp with the precious serum.
 Fortunately the officials kept their heads and depended on the old order of transportation, the dog team, and the trip was made safely and in more comfort than by plane. Had Darling and his mechanic left Fairbanks at the time the trip was planned, they un- doubtedly would have perished, or been forced down by the raging sbliz- gard which plotted out the visibility the following day. The mushing was perilous for the sturdy sourdough and his reliable team, and bucking the blizzardS with temperatures far below zero, with the landscape plotted out, would have been practically impossi- ble for the daring aviators to have even landed safely.
 Too many persons place the air planes achievements ahead of what the facts reveal It must be remem- bered that the finest men and ma chimes ill the United States flying corps were several weeks making the trip through Alaska, with every re- source of the nation behind them. The trip was made at the best sea- son of the year. To have expected men unfamiliar with the route to make the trip safely was trusting more to luck than to actual conditions. Messrs. Darling and Mackie have not detract. ed from their splendid record one iota by their failure to make the flight, as they would have set out in the face of every adverse condition, had the cpl demic come to point where it was necessary. Their achievement is an epic in the ballads of Northern dar. HE duu T6SOurCeIul0eSS.
 But the dog mushers, the old timers of the frozen wastes, won out. The race was watched with dramatic in- tenseness by the readers of the world. who in imagination, suffered the vicis- situdes of the journey, the bitter cold the sleepless nights, when men and dogs staggered gamely on, tired from loss of sleep and exhaustion, ready to fall in their tracks, but pointing true to their destination, with cargo more precious than the metal on which the city of Nome was built.
 Through blinding blizzards, with blackening cheeks cracked and scored by frostbite, the race was made in relays over distance of $50 miles in five and half days. One veteran driver covered 54 miles, 30 of which were driven in heavy gale, in seven hours and forty minutes.
 The old sourdough, who has siwash. ed many cold night of the trail, can appreciate the glorious race with death riding behind the handle bars of the sleds.
 Alaskans are familiar with many deeds of daring which will probably eclipse those of the relay race to Nome, where lone prospectors and trappers have time and again braved the cold and the elements to save the life of friend or acquaintance. but no deed of late years has taken the public fancy so thoroughly, mainly on account of it's being we'll advertised through the columns of the press.
