 LOCAL AR FIELD
U. S. INSPECTOR DECLARES CITY HAS NATURAL FIELD
 SHOULD BE PREPARED

1O WOulu require very uJtIG money and little work to prepare Q natural landing field for Seward at the head of Resurrection Bay,'' was the verdict of H. F. Rough, dis trict supervisor of the Aeronautic Branch of the U. S. Department of Commerce, who was in town over Sunday and who left yesterday for the Interior to look over the equipment of the Air Transporta- tion Companies of Anchorage, Fair banks and Nome. While here he was taken out to the field near the signal corps radio station in con- Ipany with Charles L. Thompson of the Bennett Rodebaugh Air Trans port Co.,, of Fairbanks, Lynn Smith, J. s. Marshal at Fairbanks, Nick Johnson of Unga and representa- lives of the Seward Gateway.
 Tt would seem to me very desira- ble that Seward get busy on this proposition" said MI. Rough .@.S:sre aviation is making such wonderful srridee F fleska and WI en it would @nem that the city should be in po- 5itiOn to receive ships flying o1t from the Interior or perhaps com ing up along the coast from Seat tle"
 He was backed in this statement by MT. Thompson who has been one of the most active proponents of flying in the Interior and who brought with him a fine, specially built ship from California to go on the routes out of Fairbanks.
 "The coast flight is a dangerous one and it may be some years be- fore there is a regular service alorg the Inside Passage although it does not seem at all improbable that seq rlanes could make the trip safely in spite of adverse winds and fogs. However, I expect to see 8 regular service between Nome, Fairbanks, Edmonton, Canada and St. Paul before the coast route is establish ed. In the meantime it would seem to me that a seaplane would pay nere in Seward for flights in this vicinity or perhaps to the West.
 Tn order to encourage Seward ties to get into the game, fix up their field and get a ship here, I would suggest that your Chamber and paper take up the proposi ton of applying for Seward for a membership in the National Aero nautic Association as we have done in Fairbanks and as they will do in Anchorage. It only requires g members at $5 each, and the pilots registered under the charter are privileged as licensed flyers axy where in the world Just the fact 'af being @ member of the associa-
 ion would quicken public interest in tEe flying game, and it would not b9 long before Seward would te rcoosn snized as a regular port of call for airships.
 Tho not a certainty it is pos sible that Rough will fly from Fair hanks to Nome. Tt is my duty to inspect ships for fitness for cora fmercial flying" said Rough, and I was especially detailed on this trip from my Detroit headquarters as Alaska has not yet been designated as part of any of the II districts under the Aeronautic's branch" MT. Rough expects to be in the h.

Fourteen galvanized water buckets full of gold for every two weeks cleanup since June from three dredges of the Fairbanks Exploration company spells the reason this summer according to information given the Gate way recently
 It marks the first flood of gold back to the company after an expenditure of 9lo0OOOOo Tn getmg ready and the first instalment of $15OOOO0OO which the company is almost sure to much again Fairbanks produced in the old days from suce boxes
 This is not from any official or employee of the company but from an old time mining authority The company, far is known, has never divulged the amounts of the cleanups.

FLOOD OF PRECIOUS METAL FROM OLD FAIR BANKS DIGGINGS REPORTED AS THREE DREDGES EAT WAY INTO GRAVEL RECOV- BRING ALMOST A MILLION DOLLARS IN LESS THAN THREE MONTHS OPERATION IN FIRST OF GIGANTIC OPERATION WHICH PROMISES ANOTHER HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION FROM DEEP PLACERS.
Seward daily gateway., 1928-10-30

Three dredges have been work ing the past summer, one at 21 Below GoldStream, one at Gil- more, and one on Chatanika and the success attained thus far from old paystreaks, tailings from old dumps, and new payStreakS never mined before, is said to indicate the thOroughneSs of drilling oper- tions carried on by the company efor- they started to move in and furnishes almost conclusive proof that two more dredges will be in stalled next year; and possibly four. The original report had it that 12 dredges would be erected in the Fairbanks district.
 THE FIRST DREDGE started on Goldstream early in June but all three were nursed along until the machinery was working smoothly. Had they been able to work full capacity all sea- son it is estimated they would have taken out nearer $2,000,000 than $1,00O,0OO
 THE EARLY SEASON WORK was held up by breaks in the great ditch and will require another season to get this in thorough order as cold water thaws out along the hillsides and great holes formed, that must be plugged with moss.
 The first season is hailed as a great victory for the compa- ny, it was said, and fore run ner of vast operations all over Alaska.

Twenty Years Ago-Under Private
 Ownership.
Seattle Times. )


 The Twenty Years Ago column in The Times recalls that about this time in 1908, Mayor John F. Miller ordered A. " Boullon, Superin- tendent of Utilities, to inspect the car tracks of the street railway system and that the pavement was brought up to the top-notcn stand ard In those days when stretch of pavement looked untidy fell into disrepair municipal authorities descended on the old Seattle Electric Company with righteous wrath and threatened to knock it loose from it's franchise. Those were the happy days,
 In the year 1928 the pavement between the Seattle traeks--where there is any at al- is famous ruin. Each recurring tourist shows greater degree of decrepitude No need now to inspect it to ascertain if it has lapsed into disrepair know that it is disgrace wherever go We blush when note the eye of the casual visitor that broken, caved- in staggering strip of pavement that runs along all our carine thcroughfares.
 In addition to good pavements we used to reap other benefits, which now recalled Annually collected per cent. of the gross revenues of the street comuany a fran chise tax. We collected substantial share of bridge maintenance and bridge construction We made the company pay the salaries of crossing patrolmen and then we levied property tax on all it's holdings. And, what was more im- .portant, we had 5-cent fare with universal transfer privileges It now that we must have been happy with all those blessings, though we knew it not

plained of in the Communists and Socialists. It
 will be remembered that Uncle Tom was a slave
 and his body belonged to others because he
 could not remedy the matter. If he had been
 free the inference is that he would have taken his body out of slavery and into the God-like freedom that possessed his soul. Mir. Broun was not slave held under statutes made and pro- Yided There was nothing that bound his body to the Press Publishing Company except his cray ing Tor pay check. Had he thought of the World as he wrote, the decent thing would have been to quit and not wait for a dismissal Further, Mir Broun offers no evidence that the World sought to censor what he wrote for the Natien It simply discharged him after he had written. Like with Upton Sinclair, MT Broun's egoism gives him an elastic conception of the truth or permits him to disregard it altogether. And yet further, MT. Broun discounts the in- telligence of those who have long followed his writing when he excuses his sordid ethics by declaring that his soul belonged to God He has become mawkish well as untruthful and ridiculous. Getting fired was good enough for him.

HOOVER DENIES MOVIE CAMPAIGN
 REPORT.

We are glad that Secretary Hover denied the weird story of Alan Fox that the Hoover cam paign would be made through motion pictures designed to capitalize into votes the humanitar- ian work that he did during and after the war in distributing relief to European hunger suf- ferers. We are particularly glad that he has denied it because it had been said that it was felt that such a campaign would have greater appeal among foreign-born voters than would discussion of American political issues. None of it sounded like Herbert Hoover, though it was stated by MT. Fox that the Secretary of Commerce had given the plan 100 per cent. approval because he realized that he would be unable to hold his in discussion of issues against the personality and campaigning talent of Gov Smith
 MT Hoover's relief work in Europe not done for gain of any kind. It done because it was needed and he the available man with the necessary talent to do it. He had done similar work in China years before though on much smaller scale He has always taken live and practical interest in relief work, and he has never yet attempted to capitalize it. It would be inconsistent with a long record of noble achievement and becoming modesty for him to begin to do so

Prince Rupert and Ketchikan.
lPrince Rupert News.D

Ketehikan is less than one hundred miles away yet it usually takes from ten days to two weeks to get a letter or newspaper from that city. Now and then letter or paper comes on the c. P R. boats but if mailed only few days before the steamer sails for this port the letters and papers have gone south to Seattle and have to return by way of Vancouver.
 We have no idea how long it takes for let ter to go from here to Ketchikan but if anything like long coming this way, the condition is not good for business and does not say much for the progressveness of either that city or this.

Four Pints of MOOnshine and Liberty.

She had been convicted before of three felonies, all of them liquor law offenses. Fred Palm of Lansing is now serving life sentence for the possession of pint of gn which his fourth and final ofense. We believe in the habitual criminal law, provided it is used to bring real criminals to terms. But to make the possession of four pints of moonshine offense that results in punishment equal to life sentence is a per version of law The measure applied in Michi- gan, is out of proportion with the punishment meted out for real crime, murder, arson, robbery. It is fanatical and defeats it's ends

HAYWOOD BROuN GETS FIRED.

short time ago Heywood Broun wrote that he did not like Communists and Socialists be- cause he said in effect, they assumed superior and patronzing air He made use of the oc- casion to poke some fun al Upton Sinclair and his book, Brass Checks" However. the latest sensational episode in the of MT. Broun which is becoming of a somewhat turbulent char acter, indicates that he has permitted himself also to become enmeshed in the qucksands of egoism and has, like Upton Sinclair, become student of the mirror and assumed like holy air MT Broun has had usually interesting, and often dyerting, column in the New York World, labeled, "It Seems To Me" At the top of the place this column had occupied so long re- gently appeared in the World the simple an nouncement:
 The World has decided to dispense with the services of Haywood Broun.
 His dsloyalty to this paper makes any further association impossible
 Without further explanation, interested people looked elsewhere for the cause of the dismissal. Naturally they turned to the Nation in which MT. Broun conducts page. In an article, dis cussing journalism in the United States, he, using the World example of how bad the best is, said:
 The World on numerous occasions has been able to take two three four different stands with precisely the material in hand. So constant were the shifts during the Sacco-Van- zetti case that the paper seemed like old car going up hill. In regard to Nicaragua the World has thundered on Thursdays and whispered Monday mornings. Again and again the paper has managed to get a perfect ful-nelson some public problem only to let its opponent slip away because its fingers were too feeble. It does not seem to me that the paper possesses either cour- or tenacity Not long ago a Sunday editor [of the World] insisted editing a contribution to of the newspaper columns Somebody had writ ten in to say that before the triumphs of Lindbergh most Americans had garded all Scandinavians dullwitted.
 Heywood' said the responsible editor,
 don't you realize that Swedish readers would be offended.
 MT. Broun was fred and in an injured tone issued statement concluding:
 'Disoyaty7 unexplained, might
 mean to the reader anything from rob
 ping the till to sitting Ralph Pulitz- CTS hat
 When I returned to the World after
 . witchs sabbatical, they told me I
 should blow off steam in The Nation They told there was no governor
 on that steam. Previously the World
 maintained its right to censor what I
 wrote for them. Now it wants to censor
 what l write elsewhere. After the tradi-
 tfon eof Uncle Tom, l still say that
 while my body may have belonged to
 the Press Publishing Company, my soul
 belonged to God
 One does not have to go further than Mr Broun's statement to the self-satisfed egoisn that has begun to color his writing and te stamp him as possessor of traits that he com
