\ HOOVER SETBACK.

Considered from any viewpoint that one may choose, the Hoover defeat in Indiana is serious blow to his candidacy. It was primary Ill which S0o,0OO Republican voters of the Middle West, the very stronghold of Republeanism' had an opportunity to express their choice Tor the Presidency and by substantial majority they cast their votes against Mir Hoover The damp ening effect of the defeat is of far more import ance than the loss of the S3 delegates It would have been far better, from a strategical stand point if he had remained out of that State, as he first intended doing Usually, Presidential aspirans do not contest with fayorite son cahdl- date particularly if that favorite son IS Sen ator. Gov Smith announced in the beginning that his name would not be entered in any contest against a favorite son candidate, and he has adhered to it. Mr. Hoover the other hand entered three States that had fayorite son candidates all of them Senators-Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia. He carried ohio after Senator Willis died He has lost Indiana. West Virginia has not yet voted.
 The general opinion has been that Senator Watson running stalking horse for Gen Dawes. It is said that Senator Golf in West irginia, likewise is running because Gen. Dawes has refused to be a candidate for President long Gov Lowden is in the race. That was the reason given for entering Mr. Hoover's name.
 However the Indiana vote is not necessarily fatal to the Hoover candidacy. He will have long lead in the Kansas City convention any other candidate without the Indiana dele gates. The danger of the vote is that it might make it difficult for him to convince the uninstructed delegates of his strength with the people in those States where strength is needed to win. His Indiana is not unexplain- able. The rub is that it must be explained He can say that he had to fight the Republican organization, headed by two United States Sen air nd that uudo tba oir ncta bic large vote is evidence of strength rather than of weakness. How much better, though, it would have been if he had staid out of the State and not had to explain at all!

ONE OF ALASKA'S LUCKY DAYS.

It of Alaska's lucky days when Paul c. Redington was named to be Chief of the Biological Survey. He is big man, broad and practical well enthusiast for the prin- lection of the game of America. He the interest of the settler and prospector and the pioneers of all sorts in the game as well as that of the sportsman, and he is devoting his tact and ability to harmonizing the interests.
 The game animals birds and fish of Alaska have contributed immensely to prospecting and development in Alaska, and it is desirable that they may continue to contribute. On the other hand, there is not question of doubt but that Mr Redington is right when he declares that Alaska has a wonderfully valuable asset in her big game as an attraction to sportsmen.
 It is difficult task MT. Redngton has set cut to accomplish, but he is going about it in a manner that is likely to eat up difficulties He is seeing for himself and depending in large measure upon local opinion and suggestions Under the circumstances it is not strange that he is satisfied with the support he is getting from the people of the Territory The people of Alaska like his attitude and the probabilities are that he will continue to get the support of the people.
 It s complimentary to the Territory that Mr Redington purposes to spend most of the summer here studying conditions. keeping in touch with the people and getting acquainted with their ideas and wishes in the premises. He spent a part of last in that work. The people appreciate that sort Of attention to one of the big problems of the country and MT. Redngton will no doubt, find in every part of the Territory very cordial welcome

stall machinery as soon as larger production can be accomplished so the coal may be washed and graded into lump, nut, pea and mine-run grades.
 At the present time ten men are employed at the mine, and this number will be increased as the work progresses. It is the inten- tion of the company to use two shifts on the work of driving deeper into the coal measures.
 The discovery of the indications of new coal beds encourage the company to believe that the lands upon which they are centering their efforts contain many work able measures of high grade bi- luminous coal.
 MT. Jones thinks that mining conditions are most favorable as the walls of the coal measures are ideal for successful mining with minimum of expensive tim. bering.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-05-11

MT. Lerch is enthusiastic about the manner in which MT. Jones has taken hold of operations at the mine and over his confidence in the value and workability of the mine. He says MT. Jones. who is an expert on coal mining and coal, is very favorably i'm pressed with the outlook for the development of successful mine
 Superintendent Jones, who is in charge of operations, has not only been making plans for develop ment of the veins that have been discovered. but he has been pros pecting and has located three ad- ditional coal beds, according to MT. Lerch.
 Writing of the situation at the mine, Robert s. Donaldson, Gen. eral Manager of the company, says the development work is progressing favorably The stope is being extended to a further depth of 400 feet, which will make the total depth 5S0 feet. At this depth it is the intention of the company to turn gangways east and west on the coal bed, and al every 50 feet interval to turn rooms. When this development is completed the company will bC in position to assume a steady production of not less than 10i tons of coal day. During tn, Interval a small quantity of eoa recovered from the development work will be placed on the mar het.

Cost of Education.
lPrince Rupert News.l

(Prnee Rupert News)
 There has been some criticism of the cost of education in this Province
 In this connection it is interesting to com pare the annual bill for education in British Columbia with that of some other Provinces The following totals for the fiscal year of 1926: British Columbia $S,311,629; Alberta, $11134, 391; Saskatchewan, $149S1, ,0S3; Manitoba $9,- 993, ,961 Ontario, S45,655,613 For the sake of comparison it may be assumed that the popua- tion of British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba is virtually the same, with Saskatchewan ap- proxmately 100000 more than this Province, and Ontario about five times much In other words British Coumbia's per capita cost is siderably less than either Alberta or Manitoba while, for population of only 100000 more, the Saskatchewan's total is greatly in advance of that of this Province Ontario's per capita ex- penditure, too would work out at than British Columbia's, although greater population should tend to cut the bill in certain aspects of overhead.
 From these comparisons it is easy to see that British Columbia by no means is spending too much on education. If striking com parison is needed, however, the fact may be noted that the annual bill for preparing British Columbia's youth for lfes struggle is consid- eraby less than half of the amount spent each year on booze and horse-racing
