MANY TOURIST PARTIES
 ARE COMING ID ALASKA

The coming summer will be a ban ner one from tourist standpoint in the opinion of A. B. Cummings, man. ager of the Curry hotel, who is now en route to his post, after spending vacation in the States. MT. Cum mings spent the time between the ar rival of the S. S. Alaska and departure of Mondays train for the north in Seward.
 "One big tourist company promised seven parties" said MT. Cummings, and others are expected to do as we'll This should make business brisk all along the railroad
 While touring the States MT. Cum mings' trip tok him as far east as Michogan, with a stop-off in Chica- go.
 ''I do not wish to become bromidic," said MT. Cummings, "but Alaska has never done to my frame what the chill winds of Chicago did while I was there Cold! The people crowded the hotel Hobbies like sheep to escape the rigors of the zephys from Lake Michigan with zero tenn perature. I have never felt anything like it in Alaska Like the remainder of those who could, I hugged the steam heat and did not have any de- sire to play around outside"
 When told that since his departure, his hotel had been made the capital of a muskrat and beaver reserve, MT. Cummings pricked up his ears. When facetiously told that he had been chosen as custodian of all the musk rats in his demesne and would be ex- pected to count them each season he entered a demurrer.
 'T will guarantee every tourist and other guest at the hotel the fat of the land, but as rat herder I do not qualify.

WHERE REFORM SHOULD BEGIN

Once again the people of the Territory witness the spectacle of Legislative assembly gumshoeng itself into office and then sprngng surprise legislation that was not the product of political platform discussed by the n dvidual members while canvassing for office. This IS not the first time such thing has occurred 1t has been the custom in the Territory almost since the Legislature was created Thus neither the members subect to the re- dempton of party pledges responsible to those who voted them into office. They entered the Legislature committed to definite program because they were not called upon to face their constituents personally and in open meeting and utter their pledges and explain their program Without such platform program they are at liberty to take any inclination points and follow it. Not one of the Third division members appeared upon the public rostrum to support platform drawn by their parties, so they are responsible to no one.
 The time to introduce such questions greater pow in the party convention Thus the people would have something to guide them in making choice the matter could be debated and logical plan worked out which would achieve the ends sought
 As long the electorate continues to allow itself to be imposed upon in this matter just long will Alaska anguish and it's hopes of greater Territorial powers be deferred and just long will the legislators escape the responsibility of their acts and continue to mudde and confuse with methods which have not the merit of common sense to recommend them.
 An abiding lesson should be gained from the pres ent instance and resolution made to send man to Juneau who is willing to seek his office cleancut platform wherein he is responsible not only to the people but his party as we'll
 The place to begin reform in Alaska's political af- fairs is at home. The other will come natural se- quence.

PARADE OF FASHION

Environment was no handicap to Miss Helen Lesniak when she decid- ed to conquer the business world. She looked about her home town of Frontenac, Kansas. It was coal mining camp of 5000 persons, among whom 32 nationalities were repre- sented. In spite of the outlook she opened a lingerie shop. This shop soon became known throughout south eastern Kansas, over the line into Missouri and across the border into Oklahoma, and Miss Lesniak found her venture a financial success.

WEALTH FROM A WHALE

Last spring Alfred Lowell of Sew ard found a large dead whale in a bay out near the mouth of Resurrec- tion harbor. He said nothing about his discovery until such time as he was ready to turn it to some account. Last week he took an old Indian, named Alexie Anunga, who has been working for him, and they proceeded to disseot this leviathan and ascer- tain how much latent wealth it had accumulated from it's home in the mighty deep.
 Results were highly satisfactory, as the carcass yielded 200 pounds of whale bone that is worth, so it is said, $S per pound.
 Thus another resource is added to the large number that are already tributary to this favored town. If any one should be dissatisfied with the treasure of the land, old ocean may furnish them an opportunity to raise the wind.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-There
was never any doubt where the SYM
pathies of the Postoffice Depart
ment lay while Air Mail Pilot Lloyd
w. Bertaud was fighting with Pro-
moter Charles Levine over his pro-
posed New York to-Paris flight in
the days just preceding Lindbergh's
achievement.
The department since has pointed
out publicly in this connection that
it refused to enter into contract
with Levine backed company for
transportation of air mail for rea-
sons of its own, despite the fact that
the Levine outfit had bid slightly
lower.
Bertaud had splendid record in
the service on the eastern division
of the Governments Jranscontinen-
tai route. Some of his own adven-
lures we'll may be recounted in this
series of stories about the thrills
and narrow escapes of air mail pi-
lots as they laugh at dangers with
grim determination to deliver the
mail.
In one report, Bertaud describes
bitter aerial battle with rain,
snow, sleet and ice. Flying west
from Hadley field, at New Bruins
wick, N. j., he struck heavy rain
storm at the Blue Ridge.
Between Two Layers
II found it necessary to fly be-
tween two layers of clouds, the lower
being broken" he said. upon ap-
preaching Tamaqua, under the same
conditions, hit another heavy rain
squall which necessitated my flying
blind at $500 feet on the altimeter.
This squan changed to snow and
then to sleet.
THE ship began to take ice slowly
at first. 1t was my impression 1
could get through this without en-
countering any great difficulty, but
few moments later the ice began
to form very rapidly.
About that time I saw ground
through a hole, recognizing my po-
sition as being about over the Ring
town field. I decided to land.
st came out of the overcast, but
did not see the ground until I was
about 300 feet above it. I turned
as quickly as possible to make the
landing, which resulted in breaking
off the landing gear and damaging
the two lower panels and motor
section"
Another report from the super
intendent of the Eastern division
says:
"On a recent test fight Bertaud,
flying ship 637 light. climbed to
10000 feet above sea level, but said
the ship might fly another 500 feet
if you had enough patience"
And another:
"Pilots Hill, Smith and Bertaud
flew over fog for more than an hour
without seeing ground on different
nights last weeks Bertaud flew
above fog from Clarion to Bellefonte
and found the Bellefonte field COM
pletely enveloped in fog about 600
feet thick. He was barely able to
see the gleam of the beacon and
the flood light.
HE made several passes at the
field, going a little lower each time
and on the sixth time made a sue
cessful landing"

four DEAD IN FLOOD
Five Tourists Missing; Dam
i in River Co|IapSes.

BUTTE, Mont, June .15.-Four
nAersons we're known drowned and a
burst family of five was missing
today, following the bursting of a
power dam at Wise River, thirty
four miles southwest of here.
The dead are Tracey Trueman,
his wife and son, and Edward Fer
guson, all stockgrowers of Wise
River valley.
1t was believed the tourist family
was drowned in the flood which
rushed over the camping ground
eleven miles above the town when
the dam gave away yesterday. The
identity of the five could not be es-
tablished.
Twenty miles down stream from
the dam, the crest of the flood
swept away bridges and flooded
pumping stations of the Butte
Power Company.
