lion dollars have been expended in the construction of 170O miles of roads sftd thousands Of miles oi trails, we gain some conception ol the improved conditions.
 Our road building organizations have prepared comprehensive plans for new projects which when com pleted will bring large areas that now are inaccessible, within easy reach of our Cities. The carrying of freight, passengers and mail by aircraft is the most recent develop ment in transportation, and we could be excused if we had chosen to let others prove its practicability before we adopt it, but because we are eager to contribute our share, and because we realize the bene- Its to be derived we have con- structed many air ports and landing fields in stragetic places through out the Territory. I am sure that If the statistics were available. they would show that our progress in air transportation will compar most favorably with that of other Territories.
 Rapid Communication Essential
 Rapid and accurate communica- tions are essential to modern busi- ness, and the development of this phase of our public utilities has ad- vanced and kept pace with our transportation until today all of the larger and many of the smaller communities, from Ketchikan to Point Barrow are in close touch with each other, and the news of the world if they so desire. Most of us can remember when the time of arrival of the boat was not known until her whistle was blown and it was not unusual for com munitics in the Interior to be ou; of communication during the long winter season The Radio has changed all this and has contrib uted as much, if not more, to oul comfort and convenience than any other recent invention.
 Schools Are First
 T venture to say that if WIG were requested to select one of our American institutions which is more essential to the welfare of the Nation than the other, the choice of the majority would be oul schools. Whatever our shortcom- ings may be, and whatever other obligations we have failed to full fill, we have not neglected to pro- vide adequate school facilities. We may well be proud of the sub- stanl.al build ings and excellent equipment that has been provided in nearly every community in the Territory. It is long step be- tween the first school that was es- tablished by the residents of Sitka in 1867 to our schools and College today, but it would be inexcusable f these institutions did not meet he requirements demanded by an increasing population and improved methods of education.
 The number of industries and he uniformity of the returns re- eiyed from them. if consistent over period of years, may be considr red as a measure of the economif ondition of the country. An in. rease in the capital investment

Search for Treasures

Excavations the results of which
may eclipse even the wonderful dis
coveries which were made in the
tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen are about to
be undertaken in Moscow. The Rus
sian archeologist, Professor Steletsky,
has obtained permission from the
Soviet government to begin investiga-
tions at the world-famed Kremlin,
once the palace of the old czars of
Russia in Moscow, and now the seat
of the present government, with the
object of finding out what truth is
contained in the legendary stories con-
nected with this ancient citadel. For
many centuries the belief has per-
sisted in Moscow that beneath the
Kremlin there lies hidden a network
of underground passages and secret
chambers, in which are buried gold
and silver treasures of the time of old
Novogorod, valuable pictures and his
torical jewels and relics in eNtrava-
CANT abundance, and-most priceless
of all-the secret Golden Library" of
Ivan the Terrible. All these treasures
according to the traditiOn-were
hidden away under the earth by sue
cessive czars, and have lain there, in
accessible, since the early Fifteenth
century.

Hope of Wealth From Copper Mines Given Up

The copper mines of Isle Royale are
the graves of long-dead hopes. Fol-
lowing closely on the trail Of the pre-
historic miners, who had exhausted
the available surface copper, Mr.. Dus-
tin says, the white prospectors, aided
by modern methods and technical
skill, toiled from 1S47 to 1884 over
the apparently rich lodes.
Thousands of dollars were sunk into
the shafts, but so rigorous are the
conditions of life on the island and
so jealousy does it guard its treasure
that the dreams of wealth never ma
terialized.
Now the wilderness has claimed its
own. Deep down in the crystal wa
tiers of McCargoe's cove on the north
shore lies the rotting crib Of the old
Minong mine dock. The road from
the dock to the mines, once broad
thoroughfare, is dense birch and
poplar grove, laced with moose trails.
The mouths of deserted shafts are
favorite wallows for the great beasts.
In the heart of the forest are the huge
dumps of red, copper-bearing rock
with the hardy conifers taking root

Government Decides to
Make War on Mistletoe

The mistletoe which is so closely as
sociated with the Christmas celebra-
tion has been found guilty and is about
to be banished from the national for
ests of the Pacific slope. The plant
thrives wonderfully in that section of
the country. Its leaves are so large and
waXlike in appearance that it is some
times commercially cultivated and
great quantities shipped to the eastern
states for Yuletide decoration. But,
as is generally known, the plant To-
Gates on oak and other trees and in
the Northwest it soon strangles its
host. Government forest rangers have
started upon a crusade which will
exterminate the plant by tearing out
dense areas of the trailers. Six or
seven years of work will be required
to accomplish the purpose. The mistle-
toe growths are viewed with interest
by tourists, and purely out of senti-
mental regard, a small amount of
mistletoe will be allowed to remain
for the benefit Of the visiting sight

he broke into run. They were not

The tramp looked quickly about. No

into doorway. The tramp threw
out his hand and grasped Helen's
handbag.
"Let co." he commanded.
"Oh, no, no." she screamed

Gregory stepped out and laid a hand
on the tramp's shoulder.
"Quit that" he ordered. "What are
you doing? Some man you are, trying
to rob woman who's just given you
the first square meal you've had in
months"
The tramp gave the handbag jerk.
It's handle broke and he was free to
fly. Gregory started to follow but the
robber turned the corner and had dis
appeared when Gregory reached it. He
returned to Helen.
"Hope you didn't have much money"
he said.
"None at ALL" she answered, her eyes
shining into his, "only your picture and

Founder of Jesuit Order

Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of
the Society of Jesus or Jesuits, was
born in 1491 of a noble house at the
castle of Loyola, Spain. He was SOL
dier, and desperately wounded in the
war with France, and during his con-
valescence determined to become a
Knight of Christ" He reported divine
visions and commissions, and after
much hardship succeeded iJ founding
an order which devoted itself to the
extension of the faith, particularly un-
dertaking missionary work. This is one
of the most powerful of the Roman
Catholic religious organizations.

Considerable Suicide

An unusual method of committing
suicide was used by man at Buryos,
Spain. He attached a stone to long
copper wire and went out to find
high tension supply cable. He then
wound the other end of the wire round
his arm and threw the stone over the
cable. He was found dead from
electrocution with a note pinned to
his hat warning others that they
risked death if they touched him be-
fore the current was cut off.

PLAN TO WIDEN NATIONAL
HIGHWAY IN NEAR FUTURE
To Replace Dangerous Bridge
Near Pennsylvania Line

The Maryland State Roads Commits
sion, G. Clinton Uhl, chairman, will
make contracts within the next few
weeks for work on two roads of West
ern Maryland, the cost of which will
aggregate about $135,000.
The National Highway, from the
Pennsylvania State line, about three
and one-half miles west of Keyser
Ridge, is to have shoulders placed on
each side of the road for distance of
FIVE miles east of that point.
Included in this contract will be the
erection of a bridge to take the place
of the dangerous structure now
standing about one-quarter mile east
of the Pennsylvania State line. The
new bridge will not only be wider and
more modern, but will be so placed as
to eliminate the dangerous curve now
existing. This work will be advertised
for bids within the next few weeks
and it is estimated that the cost fo1
new bridge and shoulders will be
about 100000.
The other strech of road in West
ern Maryland includes five miles OF
the McMullen Highway, from Amcelle
towards Keyser, which will have
shoulders placed on each side, giving
it width of twenty feet.

An Interesting Fact

Michael Cresap, Empire Builder
One of the most interesting charac-
tiers of Revolutionary days was Cap
tain Michael Cresap, a Marylander.
He was born at Old Town in 1742, the
youngest son of Thomas Cresap, a
picturesque frontier trader and trap
er. Thomas Cresap was one of the
loyal supporters of Charles Calvert,
fifth Lord Baltimore, during whose ad
ministration as Proprietary the boun-
Diary dispute with Penn reached Dor
der warfare proportions. He was
known among the Indians as "Big
Spoon" because of his open hospitali-
ty. He had incurred the active enmity
of the Pennsylvanians, principally be-
cause in defiance of the Penns he had
constructed a block house near the
Susquehanna on the fortieth degree,
the north limit originally claimed by
Lord Baltimore, disputed by Penn. 1t
is said of him when wounded and cap
tured in an attack on his home and
taken to Philadelphia, he congratu-
lated the citizens of that thriving set
Element and remarked "Why this is
the finest city in the Province of
Maryland.
Michael, the son, certainly inherited
the combative spirit of his noted faith
er. His house, near the Conococheague,
constructed as fort or block house,
was, during the period when the In
dams made frequent forays, rendez-
yous for the defenders of the
Province.
Early in 1774 Cresap removed to the
Ohio River Valley country and estab-
lished himself just below the Zane
settlement, at what is now the city Of
Wheeling, w. Va, and WIS soon put in

command of Fincastle, afterwards
known as Fort Henry. 1t was here
that he did valient service in quelllng
Indian outbreakes, the elimination OF
a long series of mutual grievances and
outrages between the Indians OF the
Ohio Valley and the Scotch-Irish and
German frontiersmen of western Vlr-
ginia and Pennsylvania. What IS
known as "Cresap's War" was the re-
suit. History recognizes Cresap's et-
forts in the Ohio Valley as the hrst
step towards the acquisition by the
United States of the great North
west Territory, the third and final
step being the ceding of that territory
by Virginia in Difference to the lnsls-
tence of Maryland.
Cresap returned to Maryland IN
time to participate to very large
extent in the exciting events OF lT1o'
and such was the magic in the name
of Cresap that when Congress autho-
rized the raising of two companies OF
Maryland light infantry and it was
known that Michael Cresap was to
command one of them, daring rifle
men 100 miles and more distant, from
western Maryland, marched to Cam
bridge to enlist under his standard.
Space forbids further comment.
Suffice it to say that Cresap, always
in the thick of the fray, battling for
right and civilization, was one OF
many Marylanders who laid the foun-
dation of our Republic.
