points remain almost the same as they were twenty years ago.
 What that district needs, it is stat ed, is roads and lots of them. It is probably the one section of the Territory where road construction has been practically hill. The road from Fairbanks across to Circle will be of much benefit to the people along the route the road passes thru and also to the inhabitants at Cir cle but, it is said, as far as being of any particular worth to the hunt CTS, trappers and mining men, in fact any of the residens along the upper rivers, it will not be of much benefit with respect to lowering the cost of transporting in supplies and material.
 Member Arctic Naval Survey.
 MT. Mertie was a member of the Dr. Phillip s. Smith, chief Alaskan geologist, party which made an in- vestigation of the Arctic Naval sur vey, petroleum reserve No. f, last year, accompanying Dr. Smith as his assistant The work was carried on this year by Gerald FitzGerald, who lately returned to the States from Nome with his party.
 Geologist Mertie has been associa- ted with Alaskan work intermittant- ly since 1911. In 1916, he compiled report on the lode mining in the Fairbanks region Prior to his ar rival in Seward Wednesday, he had just completed making a ten-day ex- animation of various mining proper ties, lode and placer, more particu- larly of lode, in the Fairbanks and Nenana districts.
 With regards to his next seasons work, it is not known as yet just what region he will go to but there are two regions he would like to car ry on investigations. One of these is the Salmon river country, in the Porcupine country, and the other is that section of country, near Forty Mile
 The third member of the years party, F. A, Swartmewont, cook, passed thru Seward two weeks ago, departing for Seattle on the S.S. Al aska.

 T do not know just how it hap pens but each season it seems my party is about the last one of the department that leave the Alaskan field, MT. Mertie remarked. This year is no exception for found upon my arrival in your town that am just one week behind three parties who recently passed thru Seward.
 Our party went in by way of Skag- way, last spring, June 1, and upon our arrival at Dawson a small boat was purchased. We had brought in a small outboard motor which We at tached to the small craft and set sail down the Yukon bound for Forty Mile where the work actually began, in Yukon Territory. We were inter- ested in the geology in that region, as it had a bearing on our work on Alaska geology"
 Believes Good Country.
 The North side of the river has not been known, up to this date, as much of a mineralized country and on the past seasons work in the small region covered by MT. Mertie, he saw nohing to warrant that it was a mineralized region. The coun- try North toward the Arctic range, however, may be a mineral coun- try, he continued. In the region tra- versed this year he visited numer- ous old camps It is now a district with relatively few people.

THE OLD FAIRBANKS
 HOUSE

There is hardly section that does not have its "old house." Most of them, however, take their hats off to the old Fairbanks (formerly Payer banke) house, which stands In clus- ter of stately trees in the little city of Dedham. Mass. With the exception of certain adobe, stone or shell houses in California and Florida, this prob. ably Is the oldest house still standing in the United States.
 This relic of days gone by was built in 1686. It Is perhaps the best ex. ample of Old English frame cottage construction to be found in America, was lived in up to about twenty years ago by eight generations of the Fair banks family, retains Its primitive simplicity, Quaintness and picturesque ness and Is now filled with heirlooms of the Fairbanks family.
 Like many old-time structures the main portion is flanked on two sides by wings and the pitch roof of the middle section extends very near to the ground in the rear. The front side contains eight windows and no two of them are alike. As If to have an in- dividuality all its own. a time-honored practice was departed from In that neither the front door nor the chim- ney are in the exact center of the house. Curiously. also, the doorways are exceptionally low-persons of or dinary height having to bend slightly on entering.
 Some of the rooms never have been plastered and the beams and rafters show overhead. Over the fireplace in the quaint little parlor swings wood en crane from which kettles were sus- pended over the fire for cooking pur- poses. In the days before kerosene, grease lamps hung in this crane fur nished such light as was available when there was no fire in the fire place.
 Other relics of bygone days in- clude: Molds for making candles. spinning wheel, foot warmers. Dutch ovens, an OK saddle, small diamond shaped window glass, made to be set between lead strips, putty being un- known.
 All in all. this old place portrays in vivid fashion the home life of the early New Englanders. It has attract ed visitors from practically every state and more than twenty foreign eountries.
 The descendants of the family have banded themselves into an organiza. ton to the end that this historic spot may be preserved.

PALM CANYON

Nature richly endowed this country with much of the most majestic scenery on the globe. The choicest places have been reserved for you, that you and your children after you may know and enjoy these unspoiled bits of native America" Uncle Sam Is ever alert for new scenic assets of outstanding value in the old wilder ness which come down to us as left by nature and practically unchanged by the hand of man.
 One of the latest selections to form . link in Uncle Sam's chain Of un- matched beauty spots is Palm canyon. which has been described as "A bit of Arabia transplanted to the Western hemisphere" located 5b miles south east of Riverside, Gal.
 Here in a series of canyons but It, tie removed from a desertlike section grow scores of magnificent Washing ton palms-tall. graceful. picturesque and centuries old, undoubtedly. the only native palms in all California. as well as a number of species of inter- esting and unusual cacti-the entire ensemble forming a botanical collec- ton both unusual and extraordinary.
 These native palms are scattered along the banks of a tortuous little stream which flows through the canyon and clustered around 1t in groves where 1t emerges from the hills. The scene Is both surprising and romantic. It is likewise magnifi- cent because almost directly overhead Mount San Jacinto rears Its lofty head. |. In one direction the canyon ap- pears to be closed by a great wall of colored rock. Fighting about face the view leads out onto the desert beyond.

 AS proposed, there are 1900 acres in the reservation. The consent and relinQuishment of a remnant of the Agua Caliente band of Indians Is nee essary before the tract may become a national monument. Assuming that the Indians give their consent, the ride from Riverside to Palm canyon and the trip through the canyon bid well to become lure which will beckon untold thousands as the years roll by

nous sentiment of the meeting of
the Board of Managers of the State
Parent-Teacher Association, held in
the Dover Public School on Satur-
day, January 18th. The meeting was
attended by about three hundred
people, including 119 representa-
tives from Parent-Teacher AssOcia-
tions widely scattered throughout
the state.
The meeting was called to give
presidents of local Parent-TeacheT
Associations an opportunity to hear
Mr.. dupont explain his proposed
plan for financing a school building
program for the State of Delaware.
Every president was urged to re-
turn to his home district and repeat
the information received at the Do
yer meeting, in order that all Della
wareans may be informed concern
ing the plan. As a result of the dis
cussiOn which followed Mr.. duPOnt's
address, a number of interesting
points concerning the present SEN
timent of Delaware people in regard
to schools, were brought out. In re-
sponse to a request from the floor
that Mrs. Robert E. Lewis. who pre-
sided, ask all those present who fa-
vored the retention of the one-tea-

Thursday afternoon by Chief of Po-
lice Courtney, on a warrant which
was sworn out by Peter F. Neeker

arrest OF Keesel was made after he

and demanded that he make gnOd
$4,000 which had been invested in a
lumber company in which ID. S.
smith, son-in-law of Mr.. Meeker. is
an official. Keesel, it is said, claims
that he had invested $4,000 in the
company and that fearing misman-
agement of its affairs he went IN
Cuba where the company's holdings
are located, to make an investiga-
tion. This cost him $4,000, making a
total of $4,000. Smith at the present

HOW The GOVERNMENT
GETS WEATHER REPORTS
Some Two Hundred Observing Sta.
tiOns Transmit Findings in Code

Canadian telegraphic weather re
ports from six points in the Province
of Victoria have been added to those
received during the past eight
months at Seattle, Washington, and
transferred thence to the Weather
Bureau circuit station at Portland,
Oregon, to be transmitted from there
twice a day to Washington, D. C.
Some 200 observing stations send
telegraphic weather reports in code
by means of twenty-three circuits to
the central Office of the Weather
Bureau of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The forecast
work of the bureau is based on these
code reports, so that speed and ac-
curacy in telegraphic transmission
are highly important The circuits
are set up at 8 a. m. and 8 p. m, 18th
meridian time, and are used exclu-
sively for sending weather reports
at those hours. They are released as
soon as all the reports have been
transmitted. Reports from stations
not directly connected with one of
the circuits are forwarded by ordi-
nary telegraph to some designated
circuit station and there obsorbed
into the circuit system.
The circuits average about $50
miles in length, the longest being
1340 miles and the shortest 231
miles. The largest number of sta
lions attached to a single circuit is
thirteen. the average being eight sta
lions. Operators at each of the sta
ions copy simultaneously all re-
ports passing. The circuits are in
so that reports from one
station may be transferred to an
other. In this way a general distri-
'ution of the observations is accom-
)lished.
