NEW SANITARY HOUSES FAIL
 TO ATTRACT SLUM JEWELLERS

EDINBURGH, June 2.-(P-Slum dwellers in Edinburgh and other crowded Scottish cities have showed in more ways than one that they preferred bad environment, and all it's attendant evils, to new houses fitted with every modern convenience it was asserted recently by Dr. Wm. Robertson, medical health officer for the city, in addressing meeting of the municipal council
 Dr. Robertson declared that today, when new houses were being pro- vided, he had found it very difficult to convince slum dwellers that the slums were not a place for decent existence. Once people become ac- customed to the tenements and crowd ed districts, it was hard task in- deed for the authorities to get them to feel at home in new and more san- itary quarters. The way to solve the problems, he believed, was to provide decent houses in the out skirts of the cities for all, and in this way prevent families from ever ac- quiring the slum dwelling habit

BIRCH REPORTS
 INCREASE IN 1924

In his annual report for 1924 to the stockholders of the Alaska Steamship Company President Birch says that compared with the previous year his company experienced a decrease of ten per cent in freight and an increase of thirty per cent in passengers. The increasa in passengers was due to ad- ditions to the tourist fleet.
 There were no losses or accidents of any consequence during the period mentioned
 Dividends paid at a quarterly rate of IS per cent totaled $270,000. Sur plus after dividends paid totaled S27O- 539.a1.
 Operating expenses in 1925 will in- crease over those of 1924 owing to an increase of 37 1-2 per cent in the price of fuel oil An increase of ap- proximately II per cent in passenger fares effective in February will only partially offset this.
 The floating equipment of the com pany plying in Alaskan waters is val ued at $4,6SO,5O1.S5.

 Despite his age and the disaster that has overcome many of those who in the past have undertaken sim liar feats, Commander Maude re- gards his plans in a matter-of-fact way and seems to think them not all extraordinary. He will land only once during the long voyage, at Pa mama, and during practically the rest of the journey he will be out of sight of land. He intends to make his" course with the use of his old nautical instruments. He has dug them out of his sea chest and bur- nlshed them anew. He has a good sea anchor and will use it when he wants a spell below in bad weather. His vessel is a proven sea-boat, staunch, well-found and equipped with a five horsepower gas engine, altho the commander hopes to cover the entire journey by sail. Besides pro- visions, he is taking 50 gallons of fresh water and 50 gallons of gaso line.

GOES TO SURVEY
 LANDING FIELDS
 INTERIOR ALASKA

For the purpose of making a sur vey of number of proposed landing fields for airplanes in the Interior of Alaska, R. s. Summers, Territo- rial highway engineer, departed for Fairbanks yesterday morning.
 MT. Summers stated to the Gate way that he expected to make a num- Der of flights with Pilot Wien, to de- termine the most practical locations for fields, which will be constructed in various portions of the Interior. The Territory is assisting financially in the building of fields to the extent of appropriating the sum of s10,O00 from the road funds of the districts where the fields are to be made Con- trary to the statement published re- gently, no restriction has been placed on the amount which may be ex- pended on any one field but, accord ing to MT. Summers, should it be found that $200 will suffice to build a landing field at any given point. no further sum will be paid out. On the other hand should the cost Of clearing field at another location, exceed $1,000, the work will be car ried out just the same. It is antici pated another $1O,0O0 will be used for the same purpose next season.
 The brief history of commercial airplane service in Alaska, which has been carried forward to a much greater extent in the Fairbanks dis trict than elsewhere in the Terri tory, brings to light the fact that many lives have been saved by the quick service rendered, especially to those in need of medical attention. Aside from this point it is estimated many thousands of dollars have been made by many operators of the dis trict, by the fact that they have been able to keep operating their gold properties until the absolute close of the season, or when the freezeup comes. In past years it has been the customs of the operators to shut down weeks ahead of the freezeup in order that they may leave while nav igation is yet open. In the annual production of gold, it will be readily seen, the inauguration of commercial airplane flying, renders a great help

TO OPERATE LARGE SCALE THIS SUMMER
 TO THE WESTWARD

Among the recent departures for the westward, from Seward, was Jo- seph Kildall, sometimes called the Daddy" of Petersburg, owing to his early fishing activities in that dis trict. He is now the president and general manager of the Alaska Con- solidated Fisheries, Inc, which com pany is engaged in ice manufactur- ing, cold storage plants and general merchandising of fish products.
 The company recently bought at auction of U. s. Marshal's sale, sev- en cod fish stations located in the Aleutian islands and all the equip ment and gear and boats. It will use these for the present as fishing stations.
 The company's ship, the La Merced 2,5O0 ton capacity, is now at it's des- tinations in Alaska with 1900 tons of general freight valued at $3O,O0O. The company is the agent for the Stand ard Oil Co.,, at Portlock City, and Chatham, and also for the Arden Salt Works.
 Besides engaging in the general merchandise trade and cold storage and mild cure fish products, MT. Kill dall says the company acquired a sawmill which it will operate.

MARINER QUITS THE FARM

ENORMOUS is SIZE
OF THE STAR MIRA
DIAMETER IS 250,OOO,OOo MILES,
100000 TIMES VOLUME OF
SUN, SAYS SCIENTIST.

Mira, the wonder star, was the sub
ject OF gossip in the astronomical sane
tums at Northwestern university and
at the University of Chicago yester-
day, says the Chicago Tribune.
Her behavior has always been &c
centric and the discovery at Mount
Wilson observatory that she is the
second largest of the stars IN our
heavens did not surprise the savants.
Sometimes it is nearly as bright as
the pole star" said Prof. Phillip Cox,
director OF the Dearborn observatory
in Evanston. Again it fades below
the sight of the naked eye,
What is happening? Well, it is a
young giant star, and perhaps it gets
banketed and then struggles until it
breaks forth again in its great bril-
liancy"
Mira Has Companion.
A year or two ago Mira was found
to have a companion, pale and feeble
thing, fairly eclipsed in the dance OF
Mira through the universe.
In getting at the size of Mira one
begins to throw ciphers around reck-
lessly.
Here are a few figures from Prof.
Forest Ray Moulton of the University
of Chicago: Miles.
Diameter of the earth. 5000
Diameter of our SUM-. 100000
Diameter of Mira 250, 100000
The volume of the sun is 100000
times the volume of the earth
The volume of Mira is 100000
times the volume of the sun.
The volume of Mira is 31,200,0O0,-
100000 times the volume of the earth.
Mira is now low in the southwest
visible through an ordinary telescope.
How It Was Measured.
The diameter of Mira was measured
by means of the Nicholson interior
ometer, the instrument with which
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1925-03-24

Prof Nicholson found the size OF the
giant star 'Betelguese, which is now
forced into third place. 1t was through
his methods and his instructions that
the work of measuring the stars went
on at Mount Wilson observatory. In
this work the scientists pick variable
stars for their experiments, taking
them at their best periods OF observa-
ton.
Something of the idea of the dis
lance of Mira from the earth may be
gained from the fact that light, travel
ing at speed of 10000 miles a sec
ond, would take fifty years to- reach
the earth from Mira.
Therefore, if you see Mira tonight
you can say that the light which
streams from that far sun started on
its journey through space about the
time of the great Chicago fire.
Mira's correct name is Omicron
Ceti. 1t was discovered in 1896 by
Fabrcus. Its maximum brilhance is
10000 times greater than its minimum.
