AFTER SIX YEARS OF FIGHTING

! The Cabinet Committee in Wash ington, D. O., considering the plans
 revised specifications and so on ir connection with the long delayed Long Rainier bridge across thu 1 Columbia River, has granted the re. quests and now the actual bridge work will go ahead. It was early in 1921 that the Oregon State Highway Department authorized survey for the highway
 bridge and on the 5th of November, 1927, the Cabinet officers granted the permit. '
 Portland has fought this bridge matter tooth and toe nail. She has managed by excellent team work, quantities of money and shrewd politics to brow beat Astoria and hold that sea port back and she has discouraged any and all effort of other communities along the Colum- bia River between her and the sea to build up and go ahead. This bridge affair beats her. She has battled and lost out.
 The Longview-Rainier bridge will cost in the neighborhood of six mil lions of dollars, will clear the Columbia River channel by close to 200 feet and the main span will be 1000 feet.

OUT OF THE TRAPS

According to W. n. Terhune, Ex ecutive Secretary of the Alaska Game Commission, licenses were isl sued to 3,186 trappers for the fiscal year closing June 3Oth last. It is estimated that the number of lii censes for 1927 will be greater by about 15 per cent; and the catch, as figured by the Commission mem bers will run to value of approxi- mately $3,000,O0O. -'('''
 The catch in beaver for 1926 was the largest of record. The legal belts numbered more than. 26,OOO and there were some 500 belts con- fiscated by the authorities as illeg- ally caught or captured in closed territory.
 MT. Terhune announces some changes in beaver trapping territory No trapping is allowable on the Ke- mai Peninsula. The Prince William Sound region east of the Alaska Railroad will be allowed a short opening, but each trappef IS limited to ten skins.

IN AND OUT

John c. Mcbride, Collector of Gus toms, Juneau, says that Alaska ship ped out, or exported, merchandise to the value of $6,249,864 for the month of October Products of the United States returned, $21O,62O. Imported from foreign countries. $2,107.
 Canned salmon heads the list of exports with a value of $3,565,O35. Copper comes next at $1,277,711. Exports of halibut ran to $322,899 Fish oil and meal to $168,786. Clans appear to be a tail ender or the list with value of SIS.
 This isn't a bad showing at all but the round about drawback to it comes from the fact that mighty little of the total amount, $6,249,S ,S46 drifts Alaska way in money. As a philanthropist Alaska stands pretty we'll up to the head of the class. ..

Infant Mortality

The cities Of the Pacific coast continue to lead
the country in having the lowest baby death rates
This is one of the conclusions to be reached from
study of the annual report infant mortality fol
1926, just issued by the New York office Of the
American Child Health association. Of which Herbert
Hoover is president. The figures are based or
preliminary reports and records received from
the U. S. Census Bureau and from state and local
officials.
These annual reports ON infant mortality in cities
of the United States have been issued by this as
ISOLATION each year since 1919, with the object OF
interesting the entire country in the reduction OF
infant mortality and the necessity for complete
birth registration.
Thus while the Pacific coast cities are to be
congratulated for having a lower rate OF infant
mortality than other cities of the country. never
thelcss the rate throughout the nation for 1926
represents an increase rather than reduction over
the previous year, and in that fact lies the start
ing point of a renewed campaign to be put on by
the association during the current year.
The fact that the infant mortality rate has in
creased, despite all the discoveries Of science
and medicine tending to decrease it, is a puzzling
matter. Experts busy in Analysing the report have
not yet arrived at the actual reason for this un
favorable conclusion, yet apparently it is true
Yet, taking the previous five years, the mortality
rate had very steadily declined Thus this slight
rise may be just small fuctuation in general
decline that for short time has been interrupted
Certainly we hope that this is so ana that the as
scciation still has the situation well in hand.

After Fifty Years

F: The monograph is so years old this month";
It was in 1877 that Thomas A. Edison called
several of his co-workers into a small laboratory
room, started crude wax disc revolving and while
they listened awestruck few lines of poetry were
repeated from the tin horn Of the apparatus Thus
began business which now sells millions of dol
lars worth Of its products every year and is ia
miliar thing in almost every home.
For many years the photograph was a machine
which certainly could not claim beauty Its records
crude and squeaky. It could not reproduce tone
values we'll. Then an effort to improve the machine
began and in few years there has been developed
a machine which reproduces nearly perfectly and
has all the timbre and volume of any singer. any in
strument. any orchestra.
The radio appeared to have dealt death blow to
the photograph industry. Sales slumped and it ap-
peared that the new invention would soon supersede
the older machine. But the photograph people put
their heads together and the result the new type
photograph we now know. with sales higher than
ever before.

What the Railroads Did

Pertinent indeed are figures just released by the
Committee on Public Relations of the Eastern Rail-
roads regarding tho work these lines did during the
recent flood in the SOUTH
Here is what the railroads did:
Operated 3O4 special relief trains.
Brought out 1O4.788 refugees.
Saved 2,749 carloads of household goods and live
stock.
Furnished 4794 cars for temporary living quarters
Transported 504 carloads of food and supplies
In addition to all this, thousands of their en-
ployes labored to strengthen levees; thousands OF
their cars were used to transport sand. rock and
lumber used in protecting levees.
All of this was without chargc-a service esti-
mated by relief authorities to have been worth not
less than five million dollars.
It is pleasant to read about this. 1t shows that
the railroad corporations, which too many Of US
are inclined to think Of codblooded and heartless
on the contrary have taken leading part in abatng
the misery Of the south, regardless OF the tremen-
dous cost. This service should rank with that OF
the Red Cross and other leading relief agencies as
fine thing, proving that the railroads are ready
in time of need, to throw their resources into the
scales in an effort to prevent loss of life and a.
leviatc suffering.

Red Cross Vegetables

Just at a time when it was believed that the
greatest problems of flood relief in the Missis-
sppi valley had been solved so effectively. comes
the disconcerting news that the more unfortunate
Of the valley people are in grave danger OF an
epidemic of pellagra-a terrible disease.
Major disasters in the history of mankind often
have been more awful in their after effects than
in their immediate infections Large as have been
fatalities from earthquakes and floods, the greatest
loss Of life has always been caused by epidemics
witch followed the catastrophes. In war. too up
to the World War. when medical science invaded the
battlefield, the loss Of life through cpidemics rag
ing among troops has been greater than the loss
ok3fe through shellfrc.
It is in fighting these epidemcs which come in
tie wake Of every major catastrophe that the Red
Cross the army medical corps and the United States
health service have done their greatest work and
performed their largest service to mankind That
these organizations can rise to meet the present
emergency in the flood areas fairly we'll as
sured, for the nature of pelagra is known and its
prevention and cure have been proven.
Pelagra, in its final analysis resolves itself into
a matter Of proper feeding. Too many Of the flood
victims have returned to their barren lands stricken
by poverty and have attempted to maintain life on
such slender diet as cornbread. molasses and SOW
belly. With their gardens all gone. no fresh fruits
and vegetables have been obtanabc and for lack of
these vitamn containing foods, the flood victims
face the danger of pellagra.
Secretary Hoover. who directed the flood relief
work. has already planned for just such an emer-
gency as this, and when he announced recently that
reconstruction workers would not be withdrawn
from the flood area for Is months. he appreciated
the seriousness of the problem that his forces had
to meet.
The Red Cross, in its infinite mercy, has been
called upon for many strange services. but in its
new role purveyor Of fresh vegetables to the
poverty stricken, it is only fulfilling its mission as
q battler of disease.

Pipes Versus Cigarettes

The popular pipe is losing ground to the
cigarette This is the only conclusion that can be
drawn from the various statistics that have been
published showing that the sales of pipe tobacco
have steadily declined while the sales Of cigarettes
have steadily mounted and at present arc at high
level. in fact. the highest recorded.
For instance, the word comes from London that
the use of the calabash, mcerschaum. and briar is
on the wane In the theatres and the clubs particu-
larly the cigarette is displacng the once popular
mans smoke
The pipes history is long and picturesque. In
each country the pipe has its own past. For in
stance, when the pipe came into vogue in England
there appeared professors of the art who gave les
sons for moderate charge. Books and pamphlets
expounded the proper technique how the smoke
should not be drawn into the nose lungs, but
should be drawn into the mouth and then expelled
through the lips.
The Indians of America had the calumet before
Columbus arrived. Pipes have been found in diff
stalks. stone bones. pottery, brass and iron Amer
ics made its unique contribution to pipe histor,
with the corncob, perfected bysa middle west smoker
whose identity is unknown
But no matter what pipe is made of it even
tually will stink to high heaven. Women do no
like to smell them, neither do they like to smoke
them. Thus suspect that the fair has bee,
somewhat responsible for the decline in popularit.
Of the pipe and the increase in popularity of tn
cigarette Whether it is good tendency or not We
remains to be seen.
