 Dr. Eckener III
 Dr. Hugo Eckener who was sc- riously ill, was rushed to down. town hotel Arrangements were made to issue statement but the one prepared was torn from his hand as he leaned from the goi1- dola room while over Santa Bar bara. He was highly enthusiastic over the success of the trip and was convinced that the flight dem- onstrated that lighter than air transport was feasible for ocean travel.
 1 Wilkins Statement Capt. George H. Wilkins said: Tt was a pleasant trip to make, free from responsibility. However, the globe tour proved to us value of meteorological forecast but before airlines can be operated success fully there must be great co-opera- tion among weather experts and reporas from many more fields. I Congratulate Dr. Eckener on the success of his flight. We have seen many interesting points on earth from an unusual point of view. uncultivated steppes of Siberia, rain drenched fields of Japan and the cloud banked Paclflc were among the most interesting sights ever seen"

discovered the straits bearing his name, in August 1728. A number of years of internal dissension, ar gument over leadership and inabil- ity to gain governmental support, delayed further explorations. Not until September 8, l740, did Ber- ing sail in the St. Peter, and Chiri- kof in the St. Paul, for further ex- ploration. The perils of the seas were grave matters in those days and they greatly impeded this ex- petition, finally separating the two ships. Chirikof is credited with the first discovery of islands be- longing to the Alaska mainland on July IS, TAI, while Boring saw Mt. St. Elias at noon on July 16, 1741, difference of about 36 hours. After many hardships both Chiri- kof and Boring made their separate ways back towards Kamchatka, but Boring died wrecked on an island which now carries his name. You all know the sequence of subse- quent events which led the Rus sians to further inroads in the vir- gin territory. Bancroft, the his torian, said:
 "Call 1t science, or patriotism or progress. There is this to be said about the first Russian dis coveries in America-little would have been heard of them for some time to come if ever, had it not been for the beautiful furs brought back from Boring Island and else where
 "I mention this part of your his tory because of the excesses com mitted by the early traders and the robbing and massacres of the natives for furs. The methods of Russian exploits were horrible yet there were some wise administra- tors who came later to handle this neWly-found bonanza.

Commissioner of the Shipping Board representing the P a cific Northwest but also as a business man in need of the diversion and the stimulus of this Northland. The trip from Seattle has been so won derful that both Mrs. Myers and l have exhausted adequate adjec- tives. I must therefore, resort to the writings of that American sage and naturalist, John Muir, who visited this country in 1879. During these last fifty years many poets have sung of Alaska and many more will rhyme it's praise, but find John Muir's description ap- propriate when he said
 Onleading Expansiveness
 Tn these coast landscapes there is such indefinite, onleading ex- pansiycness, such a multitude of features without apparent redun- dance, their lines graduating deli- cately into one another in endless succession, while the whole is so fine, so tender, so etheral that all pen work seems hopelessly unavail- ing. Tracing shiny ways through fiord and sound, past forest and waterfalls, islands and mountains and far azure headlands, it seems as if surely we must at length reach the very paradise of the poets, the abode of the blessed
 Alaska Unique
 Historically, Alaska is unique. When the Russian Czar, Peter the Great, heard of other European powers acquiring holdings in the new world, he was anxious to ex- tend his empire to in lu d de an American Russia as he already pos sessed both European and Asiatic territory The march of the Cos sacks across Siberia had been a long, tedious and relentless con- quest. The first Russian efforts to locate a northern portion of the new world was under the intrepid Danish Captain, Vitus Boring. who

Rich Woman Is Inmate of Poor Farm

WASHINGTON, Aug g. The National Capital probably has the richest inmate of poor farm in the country
 Miss Blanche Magruder, eccen- tric spinster, is known to have more than S3,000 in cash hidden in her home and perhaps more.
 The police were notified one night that negro boys were search ing the vacant home where the aged woman lived before being taken to the poor farm. The po- lice found money hidden in bundles of old rags, in cans, moulded en- velopes, hidden here and there about the house. Some coins were found and many of them may be worth large sum of money be- cause of their age.
 Two more rubbish filled rooms are yet to be searched.

Central Power And
Light Company Wins
Big National Awards
Especial to The Heraldl

SAN BENITO, July 9.-The Ma
tional Electric Light association has
awarded the $4,000 first prize in
the zone More Kilowatt Hour Per
Home Per Day" contest to the Gen.
trail Power and Light company, &C
cording to announcement here to-
day by F. g. Ludden, district man
ager Of the company. The announce
ment brings national recognition to
the organization and is the result of
an extensive effort on the part of
all employees, Mr.. Ludden stated.
The award also brings with it the
prize of $1,000 offered by j. c.
Kennedy, to any subsidiary Of the
Central and Southwest Utilities
company which could capture the
national prize.
The idea for the contest originated
at the 1927 meeting of the National
Electric Light association, where the
need for building up residence cleo
trio consumption had been strongly
emphasized. Every class A member
company, Of the association, was
eligible, divided into three classifi-
cations according to average resi-
dence, Kilowatt Hour consumption
during 1927 six prizes aggregating
$4,000 were offered, a prize of $4,000
and second prize of $1,000 to the
winning company in each classifica-
ton.
First prize went to the Central
Power and Light company because
it showed an increase during the
year of 159 Kilowatt Hours per res
idence customer, from 256 KiIowatt
Hour consumption in 1927 to Ais
kilowatt hour consumption in 1923.
This increased consumption for 1923,
resulted in a one cent per kilowatt
hour reduction, from the existing
rate, in force over the Valley prop
critics.
"The commercial department I'M
der direction of j. r. Mccoy and its
Merchandise Manager H. G. Voigt,
together with the Valley district,
merchandise manager, Elmer Morris,
are due much credit for the win
ming Of the award" Ludden said.
