Encouragement.
CAnchorage Times.)

If nothing else comes of the recent Congress- onal visitation the publicity which Representative Dickinson is giving the proposed international high way is something for which Alaskans can be grate- full The project needs all the publicity it car muster and it will need the support of Congress to insure ample funds for that sectlUn of the pro- posed highway which will cross Alaska from the Yukon boundary; and with such outstanding mem bers of Congress as Representative Dickinson in favor of the enterprise the building campaign may be said to have obtained a very encouraging start
 With such a highway as it is proposed to build, Alaskans will not have need to worry about the future of the Territory. The future will take of itself and rapidly-so rapidly that Alaskans and Yukoners and the paterna Governments of the two Territories will wonder why the launching of the highway campaign wa sso long delayed Congress man Dickinson and the members of his committee have Alaska and they know that such high way as it is proposed to build will be tremendously helpful to the country which it will traverse, on both sides of the international boundary; they know that it will have strong appeal to the many thou sands of automobile owners in the United States and Canada who have done the principal high ways outside and who will welcome enthusiastically such a motor tour the proposed international highway will open to them; and it is plain to them that highway traversing a new country, rich in minerals, agricultural lands and scenic wonders is certain to bring about large measure of develop ment
 It is not difficult to convince visitors of the need and the possibilities of such highway; every one who has come to Alaska this has ap- proved the project The real campaigning must be done among those who do not know Alaska, and the work must be done vigorously to insure early start on the enterprise. Every Alaskans can help by contributing to the association campaign fund and by directing attention to the highway in every letter that is written The dollars that are spent in campaigning and in actual construction will be returned many, many times when the tide of travel rolls northWard over the completed roadway

BOOST THE FAIR.

Next month will be held the eighth annual Southeastern Alaska Fair. The officers of the South eastern Alaska Fair Association making prepara- tons for the best Fair and largest attendance in the history of the organizations activities. The outlook is that the exhibits will be finely representative of the industries arts resources etc, of Southeast Alaska and that the carnival features will be ex- celent.
 This is institution that ought to be patronzed. Great good has followed other Fairs and greater good ought to follow this The one thing that is necesary-essental, in fact to make the Fair go over big is the interest and support of the public. Everyone ought to make it point to send anything that he regards worth while to the Fair and to boost it wherever and whenever he has an opportunity to do so.
 There will probably be a large attendance at the Fair and Juneau must do her part to see that all visitors made welcome and have a good time.
 Let's have the biggest and best Fair in Aaska's history.

ANOTHER IMPRESSIVE DEMON
 STRATION.

Speaking of demonstrations in air navigation, when fifteen women set off in as many airplanes from Santa Monica to Californias Southern Pacific Coast to fly to Cleveland Ohio and successfully make the long trip within the specified time it is something to think about. It is evident that the time is coming when pilots will be almost as familiar to us as motor car drivers It is true that one woman was killed in the contest but that is still too frequent in all classes of compet- tive contests.
 The Cleveland National Air Races bids fair to be the greatest thing of it's kind the country has yet witnessed. The number of contests and the number of contestants in each of them is impress sive indeed. It ought to cause an impetus to fast growing aerial enterprise in America The time is near at hand when one may be routed from almost any point in the country to almost any other point as an aerial passenger

 T do not know why I chose to be drummer" said Miss Tolliver today, but I did Perhaps it is because I am so good natured and can stand the thrusts that are made at you when one gets off the tempo. Only musicians know that drummer in an orchestra or band is the time setter, and if he or she is off, the whole band or orchestra is off, and the poor drummer is blamed for the fault, no matter what happens. If every thing runs along smoothly the leader generally gets the credit for having a splendid organization, but if there is anything wrong, whoopee, the drummer Some or ganizations have a habit at times of running away, and then the drummer must pull them back and get them in proper time. But like it, and a drummer must not weaken.
 Many think that all a drummer has to do is to make a noise, look pleasant and beat it out If the average person would sit for three or four hours astraddle a snare drum, one foot on the bass drum pedal and the other on the cym- bal pedal, both hands occupied with snare sticks, ready to catch the stick on the Indian drum, tom- tom, crash, alert to handle the cas- tinets, tamborine, brushes, etc., they would quit the job. But there must always be drummer in a musical organization, and it's a good life, anyway"
 Miss Tolliver is en toying her Alaska trip immensely and although there are always several hours of rehearsal each day, performances each night and sometimes an extra | dance, she is seeing much of the country and is pleased with the | people she has met.

Performing a Splendid Work.
Seward Gateway

That Bureau of Mines assay service at the AL aska College is doing splendid work for pros pectors and declare they are ready to take on all corners.
 There's many poor prospector with samples from some outcrop on his hands who has never had them asasyed because he didn't have the money Now if he would go into short period of deep thinking and reflect that it would only cost him four or five dollars to send two or three of those specimens to Fairbanks, for critical analysis and asay, he could relieve himself of a whole lot of mental stress and perhaps find he has a mine where he least expected it.

The Record Of Ruth.
(NeW York TimeS.)

Babe Ruins five hundredth home run stands alone for several It put his score at a height never even approached before by a major league baseball player His nearest rival has less than half of 800 in his major league career HIS big hit on Sunday not only went the fence in Cleveland but bounded against doorway and into the hands of man from New Philadelphia Ohio, who wasn't thinking of the ball game but was on his way to catch bus. Ruth gave him two basebans and $20 in return for the sacred sphere which had registered the five hundredth home run
 All these circumstances made the five hundredth nome run not able. But the Yankees made four errors and lost game in which they twice were leading Yet from the spectators point of view the home run was the event of the day. and 500 IS a high mark for other batsmen to shoot at One of them may equal it. for Ruth has been batting for fourteen years and there youngsters like Foxx and Ott whose records to date far surpass the Ruth peglnnlngs. The new men have the advantage of the lively ball." which Ruth has had only recently It is not inconceivabe that the mark of 5oo will some day be passed

ALASKA GOLD OUTPUT INCREASES.

Alaska's gold production is slowly increasing. Last year the gold output $6834,2o0 considerably more than the year before. The indications are that the present year will show an increase over 1928 that will greatly exceed the increase of the last named year over that of the year before The output of gold in Alaska ought to increase more or less gradually in the future There is no indication that it will ever again reach the gigantic figures of the first decade of the present century when Alaskan took first place among the American polti- cal division, but Alaska should be producing ten millions more before another shrlnkage occurs if ever it does.
 The gold output in 1927 was $5,927O00 The gain for 1928 was $907000

Three Essentials.
(Prince Rupert NeWs.)

The address of Richard GoSse of the British Columbia Packers is one that is deserving of serious consideration. While not necessarily endorS- ing any of the suggestions that he made he cer- tainy gets at the root of the matter when he says that the annual run must be perpetuated that the men employed should be able to make good
 living iii the fisheries and that capital investments should also be able to get adequate return in the way of dividends. With all three of these re- quirements met there is no reason why the salmon fisheries should not be made perpetual and be great benefit to the district

Air Post Office Designed
to Sort 25O.OOO Letters

Seattle, Wash.-When the govern
ment desires to move all first-class
mail by air, especially designed planes
will be available for such service. A
fully equipped airplane on display in
a local plant will carry three tons of
mail, or quarter million letters, at
1875 miles an hour.
Eighteen-passenger transports built
for use on the transcontinental air
route this summer are so constructed
that they can be quickly transformed
into mail planes. Sorting tables and
sacks can be placed around the cabin
for the distribution Of mail en- route,
as Is done on mail trains. These
cabins are 1917 feet long. more than
six feet high and five and one-half feet
wide.
These newer planes have wing
span of 80 feet and length over all
of 55 feet. Letter clerks will have
their meals aboard the planes in we'll
equipped buffets electrically heated
Each plane Is provided with fully
equipped lavatory with hot and cold
water. Large, unobstructed windows
of non-shatterable glass give excellent
vision. Instruments mounted over the
sorting tables would tell the clerks
how fast they are flying and how
much time they have to distribute
mail for various cities en- route.
Numerous applications for airplane
mail clerk jobs are on file with the
Post Office department, 1t was an

Freshest of New Peas

The freshest of new peas may be
cooked so that they are tough and una

for cooking peas In the right way.
One or two leaves of mint may be
added for flavor for those who like It.
Start the cooking of green peas in
boiling unsalted water, in an uncov-
cred pan. Then as soon as they come
to the boil, lower the heat, and sim.
mer them. Peas actually cook more
quickly at the simmering point, are
more tender, and keep their sweet,
