Road builders would hardly be called great artists by
the average person., says an editorial in Good Roads. yet
are they not doing work comparable to that of Michelangelo,
known for his sculpture, painting and poetry; Raffaello, fa-
NOUS Italian painter; and in our own country, Loredo Taft,
famous sculptor?"
These mems achievements have been for a personal
appeal-an appeal to the finer senses. Their achievements
have been enduring, and have been pleasing to the genera
tons born long after the artists death.
What could be a more fitting monument to an artist
OF public highways, than an outstanding highway, built to
aid the pleasure seekers, and made to endure for years. 1t
is a pity that we do not look on road builders as craftsmen,
rather than men hired to do a given job. They are really
doing more than artists, the sculptors, the poets-they are
making it possible for business as we'll as pleasure seekers
to benefit by their work"
This parallel between the road builder and the artist is
not 50 strained as it may appear. More and more, art is be-
ing brought to purposes of utilty-to satisfy both BODY and
soul. Certainly he who builds a beautiful and permanent
highway that gives pleasure and profit to those who travel
over it, merits the designation of artist.

ELECTRICITY AND MACHINERY
REVOLUTIONIZINC AGRICULTURE

In the past few years a bloodless agricultural revolu-
ton has been taking place that has given the farmer new
standards of living, efficiency, speed and economy. The
weapons of the revolution have been rural identification and
modern machinery.
Electricity does a great deal more than merely enable
the farmer to earn more money through the use of power
1t is freeing him from much of the drudgery and discomfort
that has been associated with agricultural pursuits since
time immemorial.
Modern machine equipment is working Improvements
along the same line. IF the eight leading crops of 1923 had
been produced by the hand methods in vogue a century ago,
it would have required over one and onethird billion more
days than was actually expended, : said the Progressive
Farmer recently. With wages at So a day, except for cot
ton at 81, the total saving in favor of the machine methods
was over three and three-fourths billion dollars"
The value to agriculture of such a machine as the tractor,
for example, is inestimable. 1t has performed miracles, in
points Of efficiency, service and labor saving.
1t was but a brief time ago that we heard of a move
ment of young men from the farms to the cities. They were
unwilling to suffer the rigorous life Of their ancestors, and
they were eager to take advantage of modern progress.
The growth of farm identification and modern mach
inery is changing that. 1t is bringing about a back to the
farm movement instead.
Electricity and modern farm machinery are immeasur-
ably increasing rural health and happiness and comfort and
prosperity. In the past few years modern farmers have pro-
crossed more than their forebears did in whole centuries.

LUMBER ARRIVES F0R
 LOWELL CREEK PROJECT

Wrapping into the Seward dock at 9:15 this morning, the freighter Oduna of the Alaska Steamship Com pany was soon a picture of intense activity as men swarmed over her bulwark to unload a quarter of mill ion feet of lumber consigned to the Warrack Construction and to used in the building of the Hume project.
 The Oduna, Captain H. Olson and Purser Davidson, came in from the Westward where she had picked up 35,000 cases of salmon at Zacher Bay, Uganik and other cannery points On her way down the coast she will pick up more of the salmon pack expect ing a full cargo before reaching Seat tile.
 The lumber for the Warrack people came from Southeastern Alaska. The ship also carried 5000 ties and a quantity of dynamite for Moose Pass. Ship officers estimated that the unloading here could be com pleted in 24 hours. The lumber is being piled on the docks and will be trucked out to Lowell creek where construction work is to begin at an early date The 0duna brought five passengers on their way to Seattle from the zacher Bay canneries.

MOTHER WOODS MAKES
 APPEAL

The publisher of the Nugget is
 in receipt of letter from Mother"
 Woods. dated at San Bernardino, California. June 9th, 1928. It is a pitiful appeal for help from sour doughs for sourdough of the early gold rush days of Nome. All old timers will remember Mother"
 Woods who was a great musher and staked and prospected claims
 just like any man would do in
 those thrill and exciting days. She
 wants the Nugget to let the old
 timers know about her condition and feels sure that there are enough sourdoughs still here who know her that will give helping hand now that she is in dire need of assist ance. She is about to be busted from the dingy rooms she occupys for want of money to pay her rent and was given the statutory 30 cays notice to vacate. She fur ther says it is impossible for her to get work and is only able to get enough money from her needle work to hupply her with food.
 She said she still can work and wishes some of the mining mon would send for her for she longs to get back to Nome. and terms t Gods Country. Mother Woods asked the publisher not to publish her letter but we feel that her case demands it. at least part Of 1t, some of the facts we will not mention but as the publisher of the Nugget knows her we'll he has taken the liberty to sound the ap- peal to old sourdoughs and knows fully we'll that when they read this
 they will respond according to .heir pokes. This sourdough wo- man finishes her letter with the words: Hove to all Nomeites. yours with loving longing for the Al- aska shores"
 Tn this connection the Nugget would suggets that at the next meeting of the Pioneers of Alaska this letter be read to the boys aud taat this organization arrang. for the collection of donations which they will handle and send to Mn:h. CT Woods
