he turned out about $50 or 500 gal
Ions or alcohol weekly without mo-
lcstation from police. Subsequently
he was closed up BY federal agents.

Rivals in the Arctic.
fNeM York Times


 Captain George H. Wilkins, the Australian aviator and explorer, who sailed last Saturday from Seattle for Seward, Alaska, search the nnmapped Arctic Sea for land, should prove a dangerous rival to the Italian General Mobile. The latter is planning to do the same thing in drigible Wilkins is veteran in polar ex- poration, both in the Arctic and the Antarctic, although still less than 40 To understand the kind of man who will match the airpane against the dirigible in the Arctic the coming Spring it may be said that George H. Wilkins was sec ond in command of Stefansson's Canadian exped- tion of 1913-191S, also second in command of the British Imperial Antarctic Expedition of 1920-1921. naturalist of Shackletons last An tarctic expedition of 1921-1922, and in 1926 and 1927 made Point Barrow his ssbase for flights in the Arctic Sea ill quest of new land. Last year he took desperate chances late June to plore the region northeast of Point Barrow but had to succumb to the weather. Earlier in a flight of $50 miles to the northwest he made soundngs Of 5,440 meters in TT degrees 45 min utes north and 157 degrees west which seemed to indicate that if there land in that part of the polar basin it was long way off.
 Ii is worth while reproducing the opinions of Captain Wilkins about flying conditions in the Arctic Sea. No man living is better informed In the American Geographical Soeiety's Problems of Polar Research 192S) Captain Wilkins says from wide experience that long distance flying in the Arctic is not more hazardous than long distance flying in other region" He adds:
 There are, judging from records col-
 lected, smoother air conditions in
 the world than those the Arctic
 Sea during the late Winter and Spring.
 The best months for aircraft
 exploration in the Arctic are March and
 April
 Captain Wilkins declares that difficulties due to temperature "are less in high Arctic latitudes than those contended with daily on mail routes iE various parts of the world" After April the aviator is handicapped by fogs, which increase as the temperature rises. No knew better than Captain Wilkins that his attempt to fly from Point Barrow to Greenland the first week in June was forlorn hope. Equally bold and tenacious is his fellow-pilot Carl B. Eielson, who with him in two previous Arctic expedi- tions. It is their purpose again to fly from Fairbanks the Endicott Mountains, 10000 feet high, to Point Barrow. They know exactly what they will have to expect in assembling supplies that this third expedition less time should be lost in preparations. Captain Will kns is resourceful that, with the experience of two expeditions to draw on, the prospect that he will settle Arctic problem--whether there is land in the polar basin unknown to geo. graphers-should be than fair

Jingoes Aroused by Debate on Panhandle
1New Western Canada Tribune.


 Demonstration of the truth of the Scrptural observation, How great flame a little fire kindeth," appears inevitable as result of the British Columbia Legislatures unanimous en- upon Ottawa to open negotiations with the United States Government looking to transfer of the Alaska Panhandle from American to Canad- ian possession. Already on both sides of the line the jngoes have seized upon this pretext to shout anmadversions across the internatinal boundary. All the old anmosities of 1S47, when during the administration of President Polk, the Democratic imperialists of the United States adopted their slogan "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight as a threat to Great Britain and Canada, and later i'll 1903, when Theodore Roosevelt accused-and right fully, perhaps--of welding "The Big Stick and Lord Alverstone. British representative the Alaskan Boundaries Commission, was stgmatized for sacrificing the interests of Canada for Brit ish political reasons have been revived. If the jingoes have their way there will be nothing achieved by reopening this delicate subject, but rather it may be the friendly relations exist ing between the United States and Canada will be profoundly disturbed.
 It is something to be thankful for that the whole world has made great strides in it's ap- preciation of the virtues of arbitration since the day when Canada lost the panhandle territory. This much is evident by the fact that, even on the American side of the line, some editors see virtue in British Columbias proposal
