Another Notable Flight.
lChicagn News


 Decidedly, the aviation has opened brilliantly and auspieousy- except for the loss of the British hier, Hinehclife and his compan- ion, Miss Mackay. Hardly had the world digested the report of the nonstop east-to-west trans Atlantic flight of the German monoplane Bremen when scientific and aviation circles were startled by the news of the extraordinary feat of the ex- perieneed explorer, Captain Wilkins, and his CO., pilot, Eieson, Alaskan mail fier, in completing air journey from Point Barrow, Alaska. to Green Harbor, Spitzbergen, without serious mis- hap. This achievement is more than a note worthy sporting enterprise happily and safely carried out. It may possess real scientific value The fers covered 2,200 miles Arctic ice, and Captain Wilkins points out three parts of their way above never before seen by human eyes. The question which has interested explorers and geographers for decades
 namely the existence of islands in the prev iously unexplored region west of the North Pole may be answered at last. Five reported of imagined land areas according to Stefansson may be definitely eliminated from the speculative maps Truly, the North Polar region is shedding it's mysterious character. The airplane, given favorable weather has marked advantages other means of Arctic and Antarctic exploration Already plans for flight the wastes of the Antarctic taking shape, and thrilling race between two carefully organized expeditions is not improbable in the near future.

Praise for Hawley Sterling.
Fairbanks News-Miner.


 With the departure for the Outside this morn ing of Hawley w Sterling, former Alaska Road Commission Superintendent for this district, the Interior loses a real constructonist. Mr. Sterling, since his arrival in the North with the Riggs Canada Alaska Boundary Survey, has been perm anently identified with the Territory both in private and public enterprise
 During the five early construction years of the Alaska Railroad he served that project with great competence as engineer. He stationed on the northern division under his boundary survey chief then member of the original Alaskan En- gineering Commission and also under successive heads until construction completed. Private enterprise, including mining, claimed his atten- ton for brief interval until he called to superntendency of the Alaska Road Commits sion. During his years in road building, years noted for accomplishments he has indica ted his faith in the Territory through investment And comes call from a later chief General J. G. Steese, who needs him a major engineering project in the South American Re public of Colombia That the task he has been assigned is difficult and that he will accomplish it expeditousy is not questioned by his many Alaskan friends.

THE MELLON ENDORSEMENT OF
 HOOVER.

Secretary Mellons statement, Saturday, that Secretary Hoover comes nearer than any other candidate to meeting the standards that we want" in the Presidential chair was, at least, a endorsement of the Hoover candidacy, and the first that has come from a near the Administration center. It may safely be regarded strong indication that the Administration, if nothing untoward breaks before the time ar rives, will throw its support to MT. Hoover on early ballot at Kansas City. Therefore, if MT. Hoover has many votes among the elected dele gates his manager claim, barring accident he will probably be the Republican nominee for President.
 The effect of the Mellon announcement offers room for speculation. It will have a tendency, doubt, among Eastern and Southern Repub- licans, to strengthen MT. Hoover. It is doubtful if a statement by MT Mellon to delegation that had just been placed in his hands and those of the President of the Pennsylvania Railroad will be potent in the Middle West when Lowden and Norris and MeNary- Haugen ideas strong, Its potency may depend in greater or less de- gree upon what Congress and the Presi- dent may have in their efforts to agree farm relief legislation.

THE SMITH CLAIMS.

The Smith forces claim 559h votes among the 774 delegates that have been elected to the National Convention. This is more than clear majority of the convention. Of the 326 dele gates yet to be elected it is claimed that 100 or more of the delegates to be selected in the East and West. including those of New Jersey and West Virginia will be for Gov. Smith. Most of the others will come from the South, and Gov. Smith expects 10 get enough of them to give him two-thrds majority early ballot.
 In fact it would not be strange at all if Senator Reed would make a motion before the termination of the first ballot to suspend the rules and nominate Gov. Smith by exclamation. It is said that several favorte candidates want to make the motion.

Better Organization Needed.
Petersburg Press

Benjamin for Senator and Wnn Paul and Mccormack for Representatives certain of nomination in the First Division with Ots, the last man on their ticket, having better than an even break for the remaining position Repre- sentative. Noland and Darwell, each of whom has a lead over Olts have been eclipsed by the latter the solid West Coast vote began to come in and while Noland still has a chance. political prognosticators declare the odds are all in favor of Olts
 If any moral is to be drawn from the cleo ton, it is this: that the man who goes after the votes the hardest is the man who gets them and the Paul faction can attribute their success largely to the energy and untring efforts of their leader and the fact that they have what seems to be the only real political organization in Alaska. Until MT. Pauls opponents can work up an organization that works smoothly as Mir Paurs does, and are willing to devote an equal amount of time and effort to securing the elusive vote just so long will MT. Paul and his friends hold office.

INCREASED METALS CONSUMPTION INDICATES EUROPEAN RECOVERY.

The recovery of European industrial actlvlt is indicated in the increased consumption O metals according to the National Bank of Com merce of New York. While the use of metal declined in the United States in 1927 from tn 1926 figures the larger demand in Europe nor than made up for the American loss. The Ney York bank. writing in the Commerce Monthly fo May, says "the recovery of Europe as a con sumer of metals has become dominant factor il establishing a high record in the meta industries of the world" It continues;
 number of new records were es- tabished last year in the world produc- tion and consumption of iron steel and the nonferrous metals Aside from the fact that these advances indicate general industrial progress, situation of more immediate significance has become evil dent For several years expansion of industry in the United States made this country the dominant factor in establish ing successive records in world con- sumption of metals. Low consumption in Europe and in other continents has been regularly more than offset by greater demands in the United States. However, in 1927 the reverse of this situation occurred, and it is expanding consumption abroad to which the gain in the aggregate is due.
 Assuming that production of steel is a fair measure of requirements, European countries forged ahead with an increase of ten million tons, while in the United States consumption fell off some four million tons from the 1926 level similar increase occurred in European consumption of pig iron. The recovery of the European iron and steel industries is a reflection of improved trade condi- tons and the establishing of better relations among the various producers.
 The absorption of copper by Europe in 1927 is another forcible example of the restoration of consuming power abroad Although the aggregate con- sumption of this metal in the United States slightly lower last year than in 1926, the demand in Europe strong enough to offset the decline in this country and to establish a new high world record. Substantial ports of copper from the United States far in 1928 indicate a continuation of the upward trend started last year. Slightly lower tin consumption in the United States in 1927 offset by larger consumption in European coun- tries New records have also been made in zinc and lead because of increased demand abroad.
 Since the armistice there has been several minor starts toward general in- dustrial recovery in Europe. The i'm provement indicated by increased re- quirements for metals in 1927 which has been accomplished in the face of a re- cession in the United States is of more than ordinary significance because it reflects the restoration of general world demand for metal products as well as the rehabilitation of the Euro pean metal industries.

TWO ANNOUNCEMENTS IN ONE ?

Now that Kerby has made two
announcements for Governor
one for himself and one for
Hunt-we have only to wait for
the announcement of a successor
to Mr.. E.. e. Ellinwood to have
another perfect lineup for the
Democratic primary campaign.
Kerby has successfully ousted
McCluskey, doubtful leader of
the labor element in this state,
and has put in his place a labor
leader who has proven his posi-
ton and has for certain some
considerable following among
the railroad men and others.
Whether Kerby has gained more
friends than he has lost by this
ruthless action is yet to tie seen.
But maybe we are all wrong.
Some say that Kerby would not
think of running against Gov.
Hunt; that in fact, be has lost
ambition for theIgovernor'schair
and took this last step merely
as parting shot to get even
with McCluskey for his willing.
ness ton com promise with the
last legislature and take the
motor vehicle department away
from Kerby and thereby lose for
him nice extra salary of $1,000
a year. So
What ever prompted the &C.
ton we cannot help but feel that
it was a decidedly untimely one.
1t seems to give weight to the
persistent rumor that personal
am bition in the state house is
more important than Democratic
unison and leadership. Tomb
