THE ROSE BUSH
(From Fairy Tales for Workers children
(Continued)


The man went back to his work and the Rose-bush
began to mediate. Yet the longer she thought the
worse her temper grew. Yes, even tho she usually
had very fine manners, she spoke roughly to a bee
who wished to visit her. The bee was stin young
and timid and flew off in fright as fast as his
wings could carry him. Then the Rose-bush was
sorry for her rough behavior, because she was ma
turaly friendly, and also spoke because she might
have asked the bee whether the man had spoken
the truth
While she was so engrossed in thought, suddenly
some one shook her and mischievous voice asked
well, my friends, what are you dreaming about?"
The Rose-bush looked up with her countless eyes
and recognized the Wind, that stood laughing before
her shaking his head so that his long hair flew
about.

Rose-bush. "You come as tho you had been called

And she reported everything the man had said to

AEROPLANES AND WAR

The aeroplane is wonderful invention. It is just
like bird fying-oh so high in the sky. With the
help of the aeroplane the human race could advance
itself great deal. Trips to the north pole, south
pole, over forests, mountains, swamps and even
across oceans are now quite possible. Thru these
trips many interesting things could be learned about
the world we live in. Furthermore, in case of dis
ssters, such floods earthquakes and storms that
cut off railroads and destroy all roads, it is possible
to help the unfortunate people living there
with the help Of the aeroplane Surely everyone must
admit that the aeroplane is a wonderful invention.
But-wait minute, there are other uses Of the
aeroplane.
We must not forget, comrades, that we living
in time when almost all countries in this world
ruled by greedy capitalists, who continually
fight amongst themselves for the right to enslave
weaker nations Of course, the capitalists them
selves don't fight. They declare war and the work
and farmers sent to the batefields to fight
and die for them. But, with The coming of aero
planes, the WHOLE world becomes a battlefield.
From position of safety, high up above the clouds,
a little speck will drop explosives and bombs, kill
ing and woundng thousands of innocent children,
and women who happened to be ON the streets.
Whole cities viii be destroyed in this fashion. This
wonderful invention, the aeroplane becomes the
most terrible monster this world has ever seen. And
this dear comrades, will be so until the workers
and poor farmers rise up against their enemies the
capitalists and organize their own government
the workers and peasants of Russia have done.
Then and then only will the aeroplane be bird
Of peace instead of monster of war;

OUR RAILROAD

Noel W. Smith, General Manager of the Government Railroad, in his recent report says in part:
 ''The past year has been the best year the Alaska Railroad has en- joyed For the fiscal year ending July 1, 1927, the passenger business measured by earnings, was 2.2% better than the year previous"
 Passengers handled decreased slightly, but passenger mileage was greater. The decrease came in the smaller number of passengers car ried between Fairbanks and the college.
 Total commercial tonnage ran up to 82,416 tons. Increase of freight revenue over that of other years amounts to 26.79o. Approximately half of the freight carried was coal.
 For special parties and for em ergencies, small gas-electric cars were used in place of the heavier steam locomotives. The river boat service was extended from Holy Cross to Marshall.
 Inbound tonnage over the Seward wharf was greater by a fourth than that of last year. The total rev enue, including the river boat ser vice, was $1,3SS,9O2 or an increase of over 25%o.
 Steel bridges were completed al Kushwitna River, Sheep Creek, Will low Creek, Little Willow Creek anC Resurrection Creek, at Seward, ant Eklutna River and Peters Slough
 Two late type Mikado lomoco tives and one earlier type Mikad. locomotive were added to the sys tenn.

The Unsympathetic
 Sea

Last week two boats were re- ported wrecked in the south end O! Rock Pass, and another vessel, the Emblem, sailing under command of Lewis Richelou, came near turning turtle directly of Monte Carlo Is- land. In truth the Emblem would have gone over had it not been for assistance rendered by Jack Had land and his ship, the White Bear.
 One of the boats wrecked was a herring fisher, the Stranger from Ketchikan. She went ashore on the dangerous coast line between Rocky Pass and Three Mile Arm. It is reported that her machinery was salvaged.
 The other vessel losing out was 8 troller. It's name and number not known here at this time. This wreck occurred on the reef that cuts we'll into the Pass inside of the south entrance. Report has it that this packet was a total loss. It was MT. Hadland who brought in the news from out Monte Carlo way.

At the Variety Theatre, last Sat urday evening, the Indians of Pet ersburg in costume, regalia, paint and nose rings carried through the program of old time dances the while a large audience looked on and applauded.
 Promptly at o'clock the enter tainment began and for one and a half hours the weird sound of the tom-tom reyerberated through the big hall as an accompaniment to the doleful chant of the dancers.
 Many of the costumes were pret- ty even though they carried one back to the wild and unlettered days when art was supposed to be raw and but in the making. All of the robes, blankets and regalia, in their totemic markings and de- signs, harkens to the time when infinite labor stood on the threshold of every undertaking. Today they

 There were three dances given,- the Chiefs dance, the Spirit dance and the Princess dance. In the first two 15 or 20 men and women took part, in that of the Princess but one and the chanting director.
