WHY TRAMwAY BE EXTENDED
 TO kOUCAROk
(Continued From Page One)

NCOutlnued From Page One) mobilization of the tramway from Nome to Shelton, S6 miles. was the reduction of the freight rate from $200.0O a ton to s2O.OO a ton between those two points, and tractors were brought up here to do our hauling and those mach ines are covering themselves with glory, or gore, rather They look like "Hippos' wallowing in the mud. Sometimes you see them and sometimes you don't, and the tun- dra looks like a plowed field. The freighters are finding out, however, that they can't make the 40 mile haul from Shelton to Taylor for less than S15O.00 a ton. The rate beyond Tavlor is so prohibitive that the necessity summer supplies are carried on the backs of men and dogs. To pay transportation charge of nearly s2O0.O0 a ton from Nome to Taylor and then pack your supplies from 25 to 40 miles is the supreme test for loyal cit 1zenship. It is no wonder that some of us are beginning to wor- ship at the shrine of Lenine
 The tramway from Nome to Shel- ton is of no value to the main Kou- garok as far as the freight rate to Shelton is concerned as we did be- fore and can now get our supplies as cheaply by way of Teller and the Kuzitrin river It is, however, a quicker and more convenient way to travel, but if it is not extended it is poor investment.
 If extended it should reduce the freight rate between Shelton and Taylor. 40 miles, from s15O.0O ton to 5000 ton, making a thru rate from Nome to Taylor of s3O.0O a ton.
 Summary
 
 been proven to be highly mineral ized and to contain several miner als. particularly gold, tin and cop per of commercial values.
 2. The country should be devel- oped in order to give work for men and machinery and take out the minerals so indispensable to stabil- ize business the world over.
 3. Development, as MT. Brooks. the Chief Geologist, repeatedly said, is possible only with facilities for transportation in order to get mach inery and supplies into the country. The extension of the tramway seems to be the only logical thing for this purpose.
 1. Production and tonnage are secondary considerations. There can be no material production without tonnage. that is machinery and sup plies, to take it out with, and there can be no tonnage without trans portation facilities.
 5. The tramway between Nome and Shelton is of no real value to the main Kougarok unless it is ex- tended as we would before and can now get our supplies by way of Tel Ter and the river, and said tramway is poor investment unless 1t is ex- tended.
 Now, We have said whole lott too much. perhaps. Some sense and some nonsense, but one thing { stands out clearly and that is. the kcugarok section can not possibly De developed until an approximate freight rate of $30.00 ton be- ween Nome and Taylor is estab- ished.

What Did You Do?

"Oh, dear, I'm tired" and Simmie
threw herself down on the couch, yawn-
ing widely Simmie was s. She had
lust been to an afternoon party.
Tired? What did you do?"
"Oh, nothing Just sat around"
But you couldn't sit around for two
hours doing nothing at all at party?'
well, we looked at movie. And
she told us story. And we ate cakes
and ice Cfeam.'
But what did you do?"
Nothing. I'm awfully tired"
That Is the wrong way TO entertain
children's party. Children need to
do things, to share In the entertain
merlt. or they are bored to death.
We are letting children sit by and
listen passively altogether too much.
At the bottom of childish interest Is
curiosity. He wants to see and to hear
and to know why and wherefore. AS
soon as he gains bit Of information his
instinct is to put 1t to use.
1t is not enough for the child to see
the cowboy in the picture; he must
act that cowboy. 1t is not enough for
him to hear the good story or the fine
music: he must be in that story and
make that music. When he is trained
to sit still while a world of exciting
events slip past In flash OF lightning,
when we leave him without means or
opportunity to use the experiences he
has gathered, he is very, very tired men
tally. And that you know as we'll
as i, is very bad state Of mind for a
child to own.
When we take healthy instinct and
pervert 1t we injure the quality Of the
childs mind. Its workings will not be
all they could and should have been.
You can take the instinct of curiosity
that underlies a child's desire for sto-
ries and choke 1t into insensibility by
telling endless stories without ever al
lowing the child TO return them, either
in their old form or a new one. You
can do the same thing by reading to
him for countless hours without ever
requiring a return reading, or re-
counting of the story, or a discussion
Of II.
II is possible to deaden the minds Of
children by allowing them to sit still
and in silence watch the pictures flash
by, or hear the stories read and told.
BY and by the mind is lulled to vacancy
and few are the responses Of intelligence
that cross 1t during the day.
I have heard seemingly intelligent
children laugh uproariously IN the
wrong places. I have known them to sit

Even the fishes houses are now built
along different architectural lines. A

has been the usual style. But any fish
would quickly move into this palatial

There are two advantages. to this
type Of fish bowl, One is that 1t Is so
appropriate and the other Is that 1t
offers entertainment for children.
For what do we have to amuse them
with as compared to the time when the
present groWn-ups were little children?
What about those large shells that
would keep & little girl or boy quiet for
such a long S.me listening to the roar
of the sea? And then there were those
wonderful pictures Of Niagara Falls, the

subjects which could be made to look
real by peering at them through one OF
those funny stereoscopes; and glass balls
