 prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior.
 bilities for the proposed road, brought the discussion down to a statistical standpoint by presenting a mass of govern ment figures showing the large volume of Alaska trade with the States; the annual imports and exports; and pointed out Tn convincing manner that large portion of the mer- chandise imported to Alaska originated in the eastern states and that the destination of much of Alaska's exports was also beyond the Rockies. With the opening of a road to Stew art, and a spur to Hyder, large percentage of this trade, particularly that portion orig iating in or destined for the east would become available to a railroad and provide a substantial revenue therefor. This revenue, MT. Blue pointed out, was a succinct answer to the inference of MT. James that one must "find a mine" before freight traffic would be available beyond the Rock ies.
 MT. Blue, quoting government statistics, pointed out that Alaska exports during 1926 amounted to $8O,912,O59, and that all but small part orig mated in that portion of the Territory, which is relatively close to Hyder. Alaska imports from the United States during the same period amounted to $31 ,587,337. MT. Blue stress ed the fact that fully 75 per cent of the imports come from points east of the Mississippi. 1t was not to be expected that the proposed road would get all of the traffic, the speaker said, but it should at least get 50 per cent of it, and possibly 75 per cent. MT. Blue also pointed out that 3O,0OO tour ists visited the Territory last year, and that the number is increasing annually. Summing up the possibilities of the Alaska trade, MT. Blue ex- pressed the opinion that the earnings of such a railway from the Alaska side would amount to $4,00O,000 or more annually at the present time and would increase steadily with the future development of the Territory.
 J. A. Hall, president of the Bank of Hyder, expressed the view that a proper presentat- ion of the facts anent the Alas ka trade possibilities, as dis closed by previous speakers, would go long way toward overcoming the erroneous inn pression created by the Jones statement and also offered some timely advice as to the means to be employed to

ENGLISH COUPLE SEEKS
NATIVE AMERICAN ARTS
Noted Painters Tramp United
States in Quest Of New
Cultures.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
NEW YORK.-Carrying as baggage
only sketching materials and some
quaint musical instruments, Jan and
Cora Gordon, noted English painters,
on their first visit to the United States,
are setting out on an expedition to
discover the folk-arts of America. Mr.
and Mrs. Gordon have just completed
20 exhibitions of their paintings in
the leading capitals Of Europe.
Travelling on foot in the out-of-the-
way countries of Europe" says Mrs.
Gordon, 1--WE saw the American infiu-
ence brought back by former immi.
grants. We are anxious to see how
the cultures of the Old World have
changed American life.
In Sweden and Lapland, she said.
nearly every peasant home is deco.
rated with art objects of home manu-
facture. They also found art treas.
ures in Southern Spain and Jugoslavia
I'VE want to see how the descend.
ents of these people in America have
carried on their traditional arts. and
also how the purely American arts of
the negro and the Indian compare
with them" Mrs. Gordon added.
The Gordons are authors, lecturers
and musicians, as we'll as artists. Thev
play on native Instruments the folk
music they have gathered from all
over the world.

Zoo Weaver Birds
Prove Champions
AS Nest Builders

The worlds nest-building cham
pions have been discovered at the
Zoo.
They are a pair of African
weaver birds, brilliantly colored
creatures about the size Of English
sparrows. Yesterday the small bird
cage was opened for the first time
this Spring and the occupants al
lowed to fly into the outdoor cage.
in the center of which a hemlock
tree had been planted.
Ordinarily they are out weeks
earlier. They will not build nests
until they are outside. Consequent
ly their Spring schedule has been
delayed badly this year.
AS soon as they got into the sun
shine the two weavers began pluck
ing hemlock twigs and carrying
them inside, where they built their
nest on one of the supporting poles
of the cage.
The weaver nest Is a masterpiece
Of pathological architecture. The
twigs are woven into a tight wall.
The nest is rooted and has a side
entrance. In less than two hours
the birds had their nest completed
before any of the other small
birds who started their home-b build
ing activities yesterday had a good
start.
In about two weeks, Zoo at
tendants say, the hemlock viii be
entirely stripped Of it's twigs for
nest material.

Year Without Summer" Forecasters
Are Faced by Figures of Meteorologist

May shows that all over the United
States, except in Montana, Colorado
and Wyoming and westward, tempera-
lures averaged from normal to de-
grees above normal during the three
months. In the western section the
range was from normal to 3 degrees
below.
People forget that the usual kind
of weather is the unusual" said Prof.
Kimcer. There were killing frosts
during the Spring months, but there
always are killing frosts in that Pc
Rod
The rainfall was the abnormal fea-
ture of this Springs weather, although
both floods and doughts are usual in
certain sections during the Spring
months. This year twice as much
rainfall as normal fell in the central
valleys. including the Ohio and CEN
trail and upper Mississippi, while Sc.
we're drought conditions prevailed in the
southwest and Southeast, with about
half the usual amount of rain.

Those long-range weather forecast
ers who predicted that 1927 would be
1.-The year without Summer" are be-
ing confronted by figures.
The 1927 brand of weather to date
has been tricky, but even now the
weather has confused the amateur
prophets who have hailed this as a
season of unusually low temperatures
in the United States.
Prof. J.. 3. Kimcer, meteorological of
the Department of Agriculture, eX-
planned today that eff 1927 is to be the
year without a Summer, it made a
poor start during the three Spring
months" OF course, it's just like a
meteorological to come to the defense
of the weather when folks are blaming
it for all kinds of things, but in this
case Prof Kimcer has the figures to
back him up.

DUBLIN, June 10 CP.-Aithough
it probably will be the middle Of
next week before the exact results
are known Of yesterdays election
for a new Dali Eireann, the prevail
ing opinion in Dublin today was that
the government would have at least
working majority.
Not q few believed It would be
much larger than had been expected,
this despite the fact that the can
didates of the faction headed by
Eamonn de Valera, which is opposed
10 the present Free State constitu-
ton, waged an active campaign.
1t has been estimated that the
group spent about 100000 in the
campaign. The funds were collect
ed by De Valera during his recent
visit to America.
No Trouble Is Reported.
Nowhere was serious trouble re-
ported.
There were nearly 500 candidates
for the 152 seats. The De Valera
candidates numbered us.
1t was figured that 20 to so per
cent of the electorate polled their
votes, including an unexpected num-
Der Of former Unionists. These. II
is believed. voted solidly for the
government ticket.
Women Show Enthusiasm.
The enthusiasm of the women was
feature of the polling. Reports
from all quarters tell how women
lined up at the booths waiting to
record their votes. No one. how
ever. has ventured too confident an
opinion as to who got their votes,
though each party claims strong
female support.
The ballotinG was under the pro-
portional representation system.
the counting of votes a long
complicated process.
