BRIDGE ACROSS THE
KENNECOTT RIVER

Friday, the farmers Of the
valley completed a temporary
bridge across Kennecott River.
There are several farms IN
this district that will compare
with any in the territory, that
could readily supply this section
with farm products, if they could
be brought to the consumer daily.
During eight months Of the
year, the farmers must depend
upon speeder service, which is

This is small matter and
requires but little money to build
Il substantial bridge, and would
mean much to the community in
general.

roads and bridges. Why not

THE FOLLOWING PETITION
is BEING CIRCULATED


To the Alaska Roads Commission
Juneau, Alaska.
Gen tleman:
The undersigned, citizens O
the United States, business men
miners, farmers, mine owners
and mine operators, living in. OF
deeply interested in, the White
River Mining District, Alaska re
specifically petition the Alask;
Roads Commission, to give this
District some practical relief, in
the way Of permanent road that
will enab bic tractors to haul freight
over the road from Mccarthy to
Chisana via Scclai Pass.
Several large quartz mining
companies, and gold placer min,
ing companies, in the White River
Mining District. have been Oper
atlng there a number Of years, and
are compelled to haul their supp
lies, machinery, ETC., over a poor
trail at d cost per ton that Is pro
hibitive to mining operations.
If the Government will build
this road, millions and millions OF
dollars Of GOLD and copper will be
shipped out of the District every
year. Thus far the Government
has done little to help this section
of Alaska. The people there are
just as much entitled to a goOC
road as the people in other places
IN Alaska.
According to eminent mine
ing engineers, and the reports O
the U. S. Geological Survey, the
gold quartz mines, and the colo
placer mines, and the rich copper
mines, in the White River Min
ing District, are among the rich
est AID most permanent in Alaska
Much work has been done, anC
much money has been expended
on these mines for years, unde1
great difficulty to prove their wo
rth, and the miners, and the own
ers interested, are entitled to
decent road to and from thei
properties.

HUMAN HEBERNATYON

Hibernation may be applied 10 human beings, says
DR.. Dudley j. Morton OF the Yale School of Surgery.
There are instances already on record which lead
to believe that this is possible. Most Of US have
read the story OF Nansens experience on The Fran.
when his men slept for % hours day, waking only for
a bite to That about as near 10 actual hber-
nation as the bears get, fer instance.
Then there are stories OF the Russian peasants
Who when food is scarce deliberately 90 into state
approaching hibernation the most economic means
of passing the winter.
Net only would such procedure save food and fuel
in northern climates he suggests. but 1t might be
peciay useful in Of nervous troubles where abso-
lutte rest and quiet essential.
To tell the truth It wouldn't be so much Of
change for large part the human species. Consid
er the story Of the old farmer VINO when asked what
bis people did in the winter, replied: We set and
think and sometimes We lust set. That's pretty close
to regular Information.
The idea is worth thinking about. It may be, after
all that northern Americans in the future will hiber
nate instead of going TO Florida

BETTER RADIO CONTROL

Hundreds of broadcas s:ers and millions of radio
fans are glad to know that at last there is prospect
action the part OF Congress for the Official regu-
lation Of radio There is some difference of opinion,
though as to who should do the regulating and how far
it should go.
The bill introduced IN the House would keep fed
eral regulation of broadcastng where has been hith
erto-in the Department Of Commerce-merey giving
that department authority han it has had in this
natter Secretary Hoovers supervision Of the indus
y has been rather by suferance law. The public well
coined it; but test resulted in court decision
declaring his lack Of power to control broadcasng and
safeguard stations IN the use OF the waVeenghs given
them The Fgouse bill would remedy this situation,
making regulation a definite power of the executive
branch Of government.
The Senate bill would place this power in the
hands of an indepedent commission answerable no
administrative department Of the government 1t is
difficult to understand why the Senate should do this
unless from jealousy of the growing power Of the De
partnent Of Commerce. The President favors cabinet
control Of radio, and the industry and public would
probably prefer TO the control kept where it IS.
