DANGEROUS ROADS

Judge Finney's statement at the conclusion of the
Maggie trial, relative to the of the high
ways between Yuma and the valley and Westmorland
and Indio, is pertinent and to the point.
Hardly a valley resident who is called upon to
either of these two routes, who does not acquire
few gray hairs by the escapes from accidents
Particularly do the heavy commercial trucks IN use
today strike terror to the individual called
upon to pass them in the of his journey. And
the truck which is equipped with trailer might we'll
a driver to close his eyes and breathe prayer
that he may get by safely.
Both these routes heavily Travelled day and
night. Thousands of tourists go them in month,
thousands of Californans them and thousands OF
tons of merchandise moved them.
They are in every sense of the eXpresson-trunk
lines and as such they should be wide enough to
commodate all the traffic they called upon to bear
without undue risk to those who them
Each year they take a startling death toll. Some
of these of cannot honestly be blamed alto
jorty of them are due to this condition
They should be given immediate attention by the
California Highway commission as the judge pointed
out

POSTMASTER PERKINS IS CERTAIN 8. E. ALASKA Ana
 SERVICE WILL PAY

SEATTLE, Nov. 23. (PY = Con- ing on the heels of the announce ment of plans for a Seattle to Alaska airplane passenger service, and in view Of air mail posSibili- ties, Postmaster Perkins of Seat tie today revealed that since the early summer he has been check ing the prospects for such ser vice and says he Is convinced that the service would pay within six months.
 The postmaster's interest began when the promoters of the pro- posed service approached him on the subject urging him to recom- mend such a line as they desired to bid for the mail contract.
 Perkins made thorough inves- tigation. being unwilling to recom- mend the project until he was convinced that the fog along the coast would not interfere with the schedules.
 Perkins says that 17oo pounds of first class mail goes .north on each steamer from Seattle. with HOO pounds coming south on each steamer from Alaska to &c., attle. Figuring that eight per cent of this amount should go to the air mail service, the total gives 136 pounds each way which would more than pay the expense of the flight.
 Perkins favors three round trips weekly, requiring three seaplanes capable of carrying passengers. He visions ten hour schedule to Juneau with stops at Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Ketchikan aud Wrangell.

 Three Sikorsky planes. worth ss0.ooo each will be used for the new service, vern Gorst, president of the Seattle Flying Service. an- nonnced last night.
 Gorst. who founded the Pacific Air Transport, returned to Seattle
 yesterday from the East where he fas been studying the type of planes to be used in the Alaska service, said that the possibility of the success of operations between Seattle, Ketchikan and Juneau has been studied under his direction for several months. He said that the new service would also carry passengers.
 Gofst Is going to Washington in December to confer with Senator Jones and Congressman Miller.
 He said, rega riding the fog prob- lem: "We hit the fog problem ,yer the Siskiyoas in the start of Inc coastwise Seattle to California mail run which was called tmp0s- sible. but we got around them. The fogs on the Inside Passage to Alaska could be no worse, and I am confident that ocular mail service can be dcne.

 Film has been favored this fall with a good catch of white whales. and they are being furnished with oil and blubber for dog feed this winter.
 The Bay has been covered with ice once already this winter. but the North wind, and the warm weather have caused all of 1t to move southward, and we were fav- ored with another visit from the faithful old Arctic Chief" Only a, few days before one of our ma tives had said: "Too bad the Arctic Chief did not come. for I have no stove or stove pipe. and 80 many things needed here were no here" So. now we hope that all va isz are supplied.
 i. surely is .toQ bad ahersf1 no cooperative store at E4A d. the inhabitants have to leave town to get anything. and this winter there Is not even one bolt of cloth of any kind in the town. and only little trading goods at one of the native houses. There is no milk. butter. lard. or calico. and many other things that are so necessary in place like this.
 This being our first experience in place where there was timber in Alaska we were struck with the beauty of the trees when they were loaded with snow. We fevefled in this beauty for a few days and then Nature removed this scene from us again, and left us with the cool looking forest clean of it's white blanket.
 We have been pretty forcibly im- pressed with the shortage of rein deer meat. also. since we have been here. but on the 3rd, two of our natives went to the reindeer herd to try to get some meat. and we are anxiously awaiting their re- turn.
 Most of the natives have return ed to their homes for the winter. but we have been pleased to see that those who did not or could not move in yet have sent their children into the village to stay with relatives so that they could 50 to school. and we believe that the children are doing their best to gain an education, and as they will vouch for, they often hear the welcome plaudit. Talk English" for we believe that unless they can learn to talk English. they had just as well stay out of school for all the books. papers and maga- zines which they have access to, are printed in English, and if they do not know what the English words mean they cannot get any where in school, and therefore, we are continually after them to talk English.
 We have community singing ev- cry Friday night and all are invited to attend. and we rlan on giving concert some time this winter.
 We are planning on Q great time here on the night of the 9th of November listening in on the radio for the election news from Outside. and we hope that the radio does not fool us.

 TDENT COOLIDGE

WASHINGTON, Oct, 8, [P)- Hoover was told by Meyers Cooper of Cincinnati, Republican caladi- date for Governor, and Carrai Thompson, treasurer of the Ohio campaign committee, that Ohio will be solidly Republican in No venlber.
 Cooper said Hoover will carry Ohio substantially and the whole Republican State ticket will be elected. Both of our candidates for the Senate will be elected.
 Senator Fess is being returned to his seat and Representative Burton will also be elected to that body. The thing that appears certainty to the people of Ohio is continuation of the policies of Hoover which have brought gener- al prosperity.
 They feel that as head of the Department of Commerce, Hoover has been a vital factor in furth- 2Ying a beneficent program of ad- ministration and that his cleo ton will make for a continuation of the c2o7:dee na.Iio:es." Cooper and Thompson later called on President Coolidge at the White House.
