UNIFORM AVIATION
REGULATION ASKED
Bureau of Air Navigation
Specially Sought by Com
merce Department.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Due to the diversity in legislation
dealing with aircraft, a uniform Fed
eral law will again be sought in the
coming session of Congress.
Authorization for a bureau of air
navigation in the Department of Com
nerce, to foster commercial aviation,
is one of the proposals to be put for
ward in an effort to put flying on
better legal basis. Senator Bingham,
Republican, Connecticut, wartime
flyer, recently acquainted President
Coolidge with his intention to push
legislation for a new bureau. Last
session Senator, Wadsworth. Repub
iican, New York, introduced a similar
bill with the backing of Secretary
Hoover, but it failed of passage. =

Post Cards and Curios.

On Board Steamship Alaska, Aug. 8.-We lost 13 hours Thursday night and yesterday forenoon The fog was so dense Thursday night at II o'clock while we were passing through the narrows that it was dangerous to attempt to move. We drifted about all night, the captain barely keeping the vessel moving enough to control our course. The fog did not lift until l p. m. yesterday, when the vessel started full speed for Wrangell, where we arrived yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. We remained in Wrangell only half hour. We reached Ket- chikan at 10:2O last night, remaining there only half hour. As we had inspected the town for several hours on the way north, we dti not mind the short stop. However, at each stop all the passengers pile off and run about the towns, buying postal cards and curios.

The Old Trail.

We reached Valdez yesterday after noon at o'clock This was the for mer gateway to the interior during the gold rushes of 1898 and 1912. As the railroad terminal was made at Cordova instead of Valdez, the latter town was practically killed. It has dwindled down to a town of 150 whites. The winters there are very severe. The average snowfall is 65 feet. The town is prettily situated at the foot of a glacier, which has reach ed a half mile during the past twenty years. The first miners trail into the interior went directly over this gla- cier, and many lives were lost in it's deep crevasses and shifting ice. A resident of Valdez who boarded the boat at that point informed us that it has been raining steadily there for the past three months and that yesterday was the first nice day they have had
 We are now crossing the Gulf of Alaska. The sun has been shining most of the time, there has been but little wind, and the sea is smooth and calm.

Equalization Board Asked
 To Raise Value Property

OLYMPIA, Aug, 29 (P)-It was dis closed yesterday that the State Tax Commission is sitting on the Metro politan Building Company's lease of 10 acres from the University of Washing. ton, located in the center of Seattle. Lawrence Colman, owner of a rival building, is alleged to have paid S1OO week to Roy H. Dodge to make a survey and push proceedings before the tax commission, which has been asked by Colman to set the value of the lease at $6,OOO,OOO instead of $1, 100000 which the county board of equalization set on the property.

o'clock, when the dense covering lifted like curtain, revealing beauti- ful mountains and waterfalls on either side of the ship. We were going through Grenvile straits, a narrow strip of water many miles long. The sun shone brightly and the atmosphere was as clear as a bell. Three deer, buck and two does stood down by the waters edge. They paid no attention to' the ship
 Summing up, the entire trip has ben delightful from beginning to the end.
 Economical Trip.
 A trip to see the cream of the scenery of Alaska is not as expensive as many people think It is possible for Lodi people to make the journey from Seattle and return for $157.5O, first class. The saloon deck fare on the boat is $40, including all meals while the boat is tied up at differ ent docks While the boat remains at Cordova a round trip to Childs and Miles glacier can be made for $10, and while it is at Seward for six hours trip to Spencer glacier can be made for $7.50. The latter trip leads into the mountains be- tween Seward and Anchorage, which iS the most interesting part of the Government railroad to Fairbanks. Every boat of the Alaska Steamship company carries many passengers from Seattle who make this kind of trip. They use the boat as a hotel while they are at all the different ports, and are not out another cent.

l terday said What Alaska needs is 5000 or 5000 prospectors to develop thousands of acres that have never been touched. We also need a great number of practical farmers who vii raise the amount of vegetables and berries that are now being shipped in from the States. Rive million dollars worth of this product, which could just as we'll be raised in Alaska is an nually shipped in from the Outside The trouble is that most men who come to Alaska do so with the inten. tion of getting rich quick. They are not content with starting out to make a reasonable living. The advantages here are many times greater than they are in many parts of California"
 Judge Wickersham was a delegate in Congress from 1908 to 1921. He in troduced and was successful in putting through the appropriation bill which gave Alaska its government railroad as this was done just before the war.
 War Drained Young Blood.
 From what can be ascertained, All aska was hit harder by the war than any other part of the United States. The war took away all the young men. Scarcely any of these men came back. The territory is there fore at a low ebb, but is gradually gaining in population, and the peo- pie are all hopeful of better condi- tions and a gain in population.
 lcebergIets Visible.
 On board S.S. Alaska, Aug. 6.-Yes- terday afternoon at 12:30 our boat wound it way through many icebergs, turned around and stopped directly in front of Columbia glacier While the glacier was mile away-it being inn possible to go closer on account of the ice flow-so clear was the at mosphere that it did not appear to be more than a hundred yards away. We heard rumblings as of thunder and could see the massive cakes of ice as they broke off and floated out into the ocean. The sky was overcast with clouds but streams of sunlight filtered through, bringing out the prism colors. The glacier is four miles long and 300 to 400 feet high. It extends down into the wa ter to bedrock. As soon as the ice bergs are pushed far enough out into the water so that they will float, they break off. This is what causes the thundian vibrations. The pris- matic coloring and rainbow shading of green and blue; great ragged pin nacles Of ice towering like cathe- dral spires; deep crevasses, and everywhere huge floating chunks of ice.

CHAPTER XII.
The Liar.

Curran felt very weary when he
returned to the post. A strong man
and usually of good endurance, he
was not in the habit of indulging in
much physical exercise as he always
had Indians or voyageurs to work
for him. His quick journey to Many
Beaver Lake and return had tired
him in a way that surprised him.

He was exceedingly i'll at ease. In
MANY ways his schemes seemed to be
miscarrying. Mashkaugan had turn

son, except the fact that the hunch-
back was a superstitious fool who
had allowed his brain to become adj

Lorimer did his utmost to shake
OH these thoughts, and, while only
partially successful, the effort did
him good.
He went down to the shore where
Atuk had raised scaffolds for the
drying of the fish. He stood on the
shlngly beach that was between
great rocks, falling sheer into deep
er water, and watched the coming
storm The wind was blowing in
great gusts, bending the tops of
trees toward the south and driving
the waters of the lake before it.
Atuk crouched near him, busily
scaling a monster pike that had fol-
lowed the whitefish and caught its
long muzzle in the meshes of the
net.

week that have good pelts. 1t will

Lorimer stood beside large tree
whose trunk somewhat shielded him
from the gale. Atuk left him, carry
ing the pike up to the tent.
The black clouds were piling in
great masses high in the sky, while
others lower down in the heavens
were racing before the blast.
Far away over the seething waters
Lorimer saw a canoe. 1t seemed to
be leaping over the waves as a deer
runs over falling timber. He stood
aghast at the boldness of the man
who had not feared to trust himself
to those spuming pillows.
