Elhu Root is remembered of the greatest Sec
retaries of state this country has produced His most
conspicuous service in that office the cultivation OF
good feeling and pleasant relations between the United
= States and Latin America His historic tour OF Cen
tral and South America with his dgnified, friendly
broadmnded utterances at that time and the favorable
reaction from nations previously cold and suspicious
toward our own country, has been regarded as
of the bright spots in American statesmanshlp.
Today Elihu Root deserves, if any American does,
the title of Elder Statesman
- Well, here is something that Mr. Root said just the
other day, which hardly attracted the attention 1t de-
served and which may be interpreted having bear
: ing on certain international problems engrossng
: the attention of the United States:
"Nations always will differ. They differ in inherit
ed characteristics and predictions and traditions and
modes of thought and feeling but there is dit
ference so great that be peaceably settled II
approached in the right spirit And there never can be
difference trifng that it may not be made the oc-
cason of if it is approached in the wrong spirit

LENGTH OF DAYS

Jacob Kupper Bier, who keeps little kosher butch
er shop in Hoboken n. j., his 10th birthday de-
lvers himself of this cheerful utterance:
"A hundred years, ard yet hundred more added
live the better the world becomes and the easier it
becomes 10 live"
1t is new and reassuring version Of the familiar
truth that the first 100 years is the hardest"
When Jacob turns from optimistic philosophy to
explanation of his system he quite so convincing

DENATURiNG GAS
Inc American Gas association representing 500
companies manufacturing and distributing artificial
gas is looking for something to mix with the fuel
which, by giving notice of the presence Of gas in a
room, will prevent asphyXation. Something Of the
sort might be used advantageousy, too with natural
gas.
The warning agent, chemists say might be tear gas
or nanseatng odor something to produce violent
sneeZng.
1t is an excellent idea And when the gas rran find
the right thing they might offer it to the dry en-
forcement branch Of the government instead Of
poison in denaturing commercial alcohol. What peo-
pie can't stand smelling they probably can't stand
drinking.
"Everybody's after my money now" laments Charlie
Chaplin Wrong usual. What nearly everybody

tion of the Road Commission this winter to connect Bluff with W hite Mountain thereby making almost direct route from Nome to Golovin. The line to Golovin formerly ran via Council The portion of the line near Council always gave the greatest trouble in maintenance, but the new line will overcome this difficulty, This new line from Sol omon to Bluff was constructed out of the funds provided by the last Session of the Territorial Legisla- ture in the Telephone Subsidy Bill.
 Nome HarbOr
 The Harbor crew. under R. w.. 'Ledgerwood. foreman, made an eX- cellent showing in the construction of the new 375 foot section of the North revetment. During the lat ter part of September and the fore part of October, about 300 cubic yards of material was moved by the pile driver crew using a clam shell bucket. This material was placed on the inner side of the revetment which facilitates tn" loading of vessels at this point. The new revetment completes the work on the north side of the har- bor.
 The Nome Lighterage and Com mercial Company excavated between the ietties from August II until September 26th. The work con templated was not completed due to rough weather and considerable trouble with their equipment.
 A contract was let to Chas. Dahl quist for placing and removing l buovs at the entrance to the Chan mel at Safety.
 Superint endent Ross J. kinne! has spent practically the whole season on all the work done out side of the vicinity of Nome. H' | out-of-town work was done and i was done under his personal sup ervision. He will start soon ol the work of winter stalking; al soon as the snow conditions vii permit.
 With the present efficient equip ment operated by the Alaska Roat Commission. it has been possible to operate on all roads and trail Tn tho entire district. which ha not been possible heretofore. Mucl work is contemplated for next sea son but this all depends upon tn forthcoming appropriations for tn payment of the work.
