LIEUTENANT JONES MAKES
 NEAT LUNCHEON SPEECH

Lieut.. Homer w. Jones rose to re- mark at yesterdays Chamber of Commerce luncheon that in all likeli- hood it would be his last attendance due to the fact he is shortly to leave for his new station He greatly ap- preciates the many courtesies extend ed to him, he said, and his stay here has been the most pleasant of his Ca. reer, and ie has made many fine friends. In assisting in whatever way he could in community projects he feels that he has come to an under standing of the spirit of Alaska" the unselfishness of all working tor the whole.
 He will leave, he said with the deep est respect and admiration for the people of Seward and of Alaska, and any impressions which will be con- yeyed by him to those outside will cer- tainly not be detrimental to Seward 'or Alaska.
 President Urbach -~in responding, said: I know that the athletes in Seward will miss him; I also know the young ladies will miss him, in fact, the whole town will miss Lieutenant Jones, for he has been one of our most
 energetic and enthusiastic citizens, and we are certainly sorry to see him depart And in his leaving, we wish him all the luck in the world, which he rightly deserves"

FINE LOOKING TOWN

A tourist on the s g. Aleutian Sunday remarked after looking Sew ard over that it is the first real town he had seen in Alaska. All the others he said, seem to be built on the side of hill with the merchant clinging to the mountain side with one hand and doing business with the other. He also commented on the cleanliness of the streets, the beauty of Resufrection Bay, and pre- dicted that from what be has seen and heard, that the port of Seward is destined to be one Of the Terri tory's largest cities.

BROCK AND SCHLEE

William .. Brock and Edward F. echles, two American aviators. have hoped across the Atlantic ocean as the first step in flying tour around the world which. if no accidents in- tervene, will girdle the globe in faster time than man has ever sue cseded in accomplishing. The first call' was England; and it is an evil dsnce of restraint that | longer journey was not attempted as first lap, as there was sufficient gaso- line left to warrant the belief the Pride of Detroit could have reached Munich. But the plans were for a stop in England, and this was done regardless of the possibilities for a larger flight. Such action radiates confidence that Brock and Schlee will not strain their resources to the uttermost limits. but will combine careful planning with good execu- ton thereof.
 Many of the recent flying disas- ters were due to following the re- verse principle. Aviators, eager to get of. have done 50 without thor oush. preparation and planning. The Dole race to Hawaii was one which caused some aviators to be in such a hurry to participate that they seemed entirely oblivious to the necessity of being prepared to the last ounce of resources.
 Brock and Schlee have a tre- mendous task ahead and their man. ner of making a beginning gives an inkling of their policy, which appar- rently is to be one of playing safe and sane.

BROAD STREET POSSIBILITIES

Broad street business interests who have formed an association doubtless expect good benefits to ensue. Forming an association is one thing, however: unflagging zeal is another. A new broom sweeps clean; the trick is to cause the broom to continue sweeping clean after 1t is worn. The Arch street merchants have or had a similar association and great great good was to come from it. At least, a fine start was made. Now one does not hear so much of concerted action in this To- cality, although progress of a sort may still be noticeable here and there. Advice to the Broad street men IS to avoid flamboyant policy, concentrating upon a policy that will yield results. Development of Broad street has possibilities. It may take time. and overnight suc- cess Is scarcely to be attained. An awakening to the possibilities is a step forward.

BOBBY JONES SUPREME

The finished manner in which Bobby Jones proved his supremacy in the golf world leaves no iota of doubt regarding the pinnacle upon which he stands. He is the king of golf.
 The fine sportsmanship displayed in the match with Chick Evans is worthy of more than ordinary com ment. It was at the very end of the match when Evans barely touched the ball. and immediately walked to Jones and con- graduated him as the winner. There were no hard words of anger. no cussing, merely smile and the congratulation. Such methods could well be followed by many other sportsmen in all lines of sport.

 Subtitle-"A Daughter of the West :. Jane Malone"
 Action-A girl rides upon the she dismounts to tie his shoestring. The lone horseman advances and extends his hand, she refuses, and he folds it up again, showing his teeth, but she has seen them be- fore and is not interested. Rupert, the villain, then seizes her and Jane gargles loudly for held. A rider dashes upon the scene. He is wear ing springs instead of spurs. and springs from his horse, drawing a long breath and a longer revolver.
 Subtitle-"A Mans Man From the Great Half Open Spaces Joe Brant."
 Action-Rupert leaps into his saddle. His horse has wandered away and he is forced to ride away without it. Joe makes a sweeping bow to the girl with pocket whisk- broom. He tells her that he is look ing for job and is afraid he will find one. Jane tells him he can have a job on her fathers ranch, and they ride the valley together, their horses trotting along underneath.

AN ACHIEVEMENT \

The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad is one of the two major systems of the country which has shown an increase in net income during July over the same month last year. The other line is the Santa Fe. But July is only one month. The fact that the net income for the first seven months of this year has shown a substantial decrease over the same period last year is in con- formity with the general trend of railroad earnings this year.
 The reason, of course, is that 1926 was boom year for the railroads. The present year remains good year, but not boom year. The rec. ord is similar in many respects to the record of the building industry throughout the country. This year has been showing lessened activity compared with last year, but only because 1926 was the greatest boom year in history for the industry.
 It is, of course, unfair to expect a boom time every year. The rail- roads, compared with most years during the last decade, are doing extraordinarily well. but it probably will take some time before they once more top the astonishing rec ord of 1926.
 The New Haven made its fine showing during July because it re- duced it's operating expenses. How this was done was to curb main tenance of way, structures and oquipment-the latter account alone showing a decrease Of more than half million dollars.
 This sort Of decrease in expendi- lures cannot go one indefinitely. It can be achieved for one or two months-possibly even longer-in order to make a good showing in the net income column, particularly at a time when a stellar attempt is be- ing made to float preferred stock. It possibly can be deduced that superhuman effort was made in this direction for this reason.

COMBATING NOISE

The Holland vehicular tunnel in New York is soon to be opened for traffic, making the first attempt to unite the Manhattan and Jersey shores by tubes for the exclusive use of motor vehicles and such pedestrians as care tP walk through it. The tunnel was to be opened last spring, but the problems of making it safe from motor fumes caused a half-year delay. The engineers now believe that the extensive system of exhaust fans will keep fresh air in the tunnel from end to end.
 But one point has not been con- quered. and that is noise. Parties of officials who have made experiment tai trips by motor through the tun- i mel have found that the roar of one 1 automobile in the tube is immensely
 magnified, 50 that 1t sounds like a
 huge drum being pummeled by a 1 giant. One need only to guess what the noise will be like when several
 hundred machines are traversing it at the same time. It certainly will
 be no place for a quiet conversation, and back seat drivers might as we'll
 save their breath. as it will be im- i possible to hear their directions to the fellow doing the driving.
 This problem of noise in the tun-
 nels also exists in the case of trains, but passengers on board are enclos-
 ed in steel. and usually most if not all of the windows are closed. They 1 hear only a part of the roar which
 autoists will hear upon going /. through the vehicular tunnel As one observer has said, the engineers have solved every problem except that of noise.

civilization stories of the natural wonders of what is now Yellowstone park their tales were derided as Pigments of the imagination. It took a long time and considerable slow and arduous travel over what at that time were nearly impossible mount ain ranges to confirm the tales of these early explorers. Today one can visit the park in comfort and go through 1t with convenience. It is far from the east, but can be reach- ed in less than . week. When one contemplates the immense travel across the ocean by tourists every summer one cannot help wondering what has become of the slogan "See America First" The President at least has done q comfortable bit to revive the slogan.
