All arrangements are practically
complete for Hamilton organized Ia
boris thirty-ninth annual celebration
of Labor Day, to be held at the fair
grounds next Monday under the aus
pices of the Hamilton COOPERATIVE
Trades and Labor Council What
promises to be the best filled program
ever staged for celebrating labor's
big day has been prepared by the
committee in charge, who say it is to
outdo all former attempts. Though
it is true we are right at the peak
of the worst depression the country
has ever experienced, with many of
celebrate over, nevertheless the COM
mittee has gone forward and made
elaborate plans, believing that the
spirit of the day must be kept alive
and it's influences nourished
Nothing that could be done to make
the day day of gladness and joy has
been left undone by the committee,
and they are deserving of much credit
and praise for the completeness of
the program and arrangements for
the entertainment and amusement of
the great crowd expected to be pres
ent at the fairgrounds next Monday.
Really all that is needed now, says
the committee, to make the days
celebration in Hamilton big success
is good weather, and we usually have
good weather on Labor Day.
Cecil S. Bowers, Chairman
The 1881 celebration is again for
tunate in the makeup of the general
committee in charge. 1t takes good,
live leadership and hustlers of expe-
rience to make success of big
undertaking like the Labor Day cele-
bration, and this years committee is
nothing else but. Cecil Bowers, pres
ident of Trades Council, is again
chairman and that's saying some
thing, and what the rest of the bunch
serving with him don't know about
arranging for outings and celebra-
! tions hasn't been written or heard of.
While all arrangements are practlc-
ally complete, the committee will
meet as a whole on Friday night to
brush up on affairs and see to it that
everything is in shipshape for the
opening gun on Monday morning at
the fairgrounds.
The amusements and attractions as
arranged for are aplenty and varied,
| too numerous to mention IN detail.
However, they include music galore
band and orchestra; dancing after
noon and evening in big outdoor
platform, boxing matches afternoon
and evening, country store, games
and contests, merry -go-round, ferris
wheel and merry-mixup, baby and
cane racks, fireworks, etc.
Gates Open at A. M.
Of course there isn't much doing
during the morning hours, especially
so since the abandonment of the big
parade some years back, and which
always was a big feature of the days
celebration; however, the gates will
be thrown open promptly at o'clock
a. m. This is done for the benefit OF
the many family groups who always
like to to come with well-filled bas-
kets and make a day of it. And no
finer place can be found anywhere
than the Butler county fairgrounds
to picnic. Every convenience is there.
Shade, protection from bad weather.

ALASkA'S NATIONAL PARKS

Mount Mckinley National Park in :antral Alaska is the second largest national park in the United States. 1t was created in 1917, primarily to protect immense herds of mountain sheep and caribou. The park has an area of 2,645 square miles and con tains Mt. Mckinley. highest mount- ain in North America and also the highest i'll the world when measured from it's base, which is only 2,000 feet above sea level.
 Alaska contains three national mon uments, Katmai National Monument. in which is situated Mt. Katmai, the gigantic crater of which is known as The Valley of T n Thousand Smokes; Sitka National Monument, and Glacier Bay National Monument. the latter being the largest national monument in the United States.

Fairbanks Great Circle Map Showing Proposed Location of Pacific
 Yukon Highway


1 Alaska is a long way from the pole and it is interesting to note Lenin- grad is straight north of Fairbanks. It brings out very we'll how Alaska dominates the Pacific and will have some influence in future navy and army studies of the Pacific, which will. perhaps, bring us an aviation squadron in Fairbanks and Seward and an improvement in aviation l fields there.
 Did you know that Fairbanks and | Honolulu are approximately equi- i distant from Manila?
 The ordinary route of U. s. Army transports from San Francisco to 1 Manila is through Honolulu. dist &nce of about 7.700 miles. They could | be routed via Seward in which case the distance would be 1900 miles, q 1 saving of 400 miles. Incidentally. they could fill their bunkers with coal hauled to the coast to the profit of the Alaska Railroad.
 A table is attached showing a few exact distances as calculated by ex- perts of the General Land Office. | Several hundred control points were accurately calculated to produce this map.
 One very important thing is that this shows the north half of the world | exectly as it looks to citizen of Fair banks. Geography should be studied from the position of the observer, not from a distorted viewpoint as is giv- en by Mercator's projection, which ordinarily creates in childs imag- ination an utterly preposterous idea that the world is like cylinder Every child should be taught geography from globe and he should be able to visualize what the world is like when viewed from Washington, Chi cago, or Fairbanks. This map has been shown to hundreds of scientists and educators and universally they express surprise that London is north | 22 degrees east of Fairbanks and only 4,220 miles from Fairbanks. ! Airplanes. ships, radio, and also the air and water currents, disease, and animal and bird migrations are along lines laid down as the base of this map.
 ] The primary purpose of the map ! is to draw attention to Alaska and it's 1 tremendous strategic position and value.
Hyder weekly herald., 1931-09-02

A map showing how the world looks from the standpoint of Fairbanks, Alaska, has been published by the Commissioners recently appointed by the President to study the feasibility of the proposed route from Seattle to Fairbanks, Alaska. It shows a gen eral location of this proposed arterial highway which will connect Alaska with the rest of the United States and in doing so will open up over one third of the province of British Col umbia and will pass for hundreds of miles thru the territory of the Yukon.
 This map is considerably different from the ordinary Mercator's Projec- tion It is a Great Circle Projection having Fairbanks as the center. The distances from Fairbanks to any point on the map are correct to scale and are measured along the great circles. Wherever there is small circle such as at TOkio, Paris, or Los Angeles. the distance is accurate. The intersections of the parallels of lati- tude and longitude are also accurate and those small circles and inter- sections were used as control points to draw the coast line.
 The directions are the leaving di rections as taken along great circle from Fairbanks to the control point It is remarkable how little distortion occurs in the map as compared to the Mercator's projection. The arctic sec ton especially has almost no distor- tion.
 In fact it is only when you get 5000 miles from Fairbanks that the dis tortion is at all apparent. A Mer- cator's projection is not accurate either as to distance or direction. This map. therefore, is considered super for to Mercator's projection.
 You will find on the map the To- cations of the stations which the Geophysical Union are locating to study the polar and magnetic re- gions in collaboration with the Car negie Institute.
 You will note how Tokio, London and New York are an about the same distance from Fairbanks. Also, Canton, Rome, and St. Thomas. A straight line from Seattle to Tokio goes through the Aleutians and sailing directions from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Tokio pass only 750 miles south of Seward It shows very well that

ALASKA MAKES HUGE
 RETURN FOR PURCHASE

 In the sixty-three years of American occupation. Alaska's commerce. includ ing precious metals. has attained the huge total of S2,5S9,126,64S, accord ing to authentic figures derived main ly from reports made to the Depart ment of Commerce of the United States by the United States Customs Service. This is nearly 360 times the S7.200,000 paid by the United States to Russia in 1867 in return for the Territory.
 Prior to 1905 no complete records of the territorial commerce were complied; but sufficient data has been preserved to indicate imports valued at SIP. .426,645 and exports amounting to $314,2&S,77S between 1867 and 1906
 Since 1905 accurate records have been maintained by the United States Customs Service and are set forth in the following table, showing for the period from 1905 to the end of 1930, total imports valued at f,135.219 alsand exports including precious min erals, amounting to $l,39S,162 ,00G.

 Comparative Size-Alaska
 And the United States

If map of Alaska were drawn to scale and imposed on one of the Unit cd States, the main boundaries oi the former would include Iowa, prac- tically all of Kansas, Minnesota, Wis, consin and Illinois. and about half of North Dakota. South Dakota. Nebras- ka and Missouri. The mainland would reach from central North Dakota to Lake Superior and from the Canadian border to the Mason-Dixon line. The Alaska panhandle" would reach from lower Illinois through Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia to the coast of South Carolina, while the Aleut- ian islands chain would extend from southeastern Kansas through Okla. homa, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and into California to a point about midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

 LIFE IN ALASKA

Whenever a fiction writer desires to give his story about Alaska local color he fills it with gunmen. bliz, zards, dogteams. dance halls and their women, and throws in all the wild an!- woody imaginative touches he thinks necessary.
 In all truth, life in Alaska is simi- lar to life in any other part of the United States, with the distinction however. that the poor man has fal more independence in the northern territory can earn more money, as { rule, and has peter chances for ad yancament. The man with little cap ital and initiative will find in Alask6 good opportunities for investment as will also the man with great cap. ital.
 Alaska has eighteen incorporated towns. For few months the ground is covered with snow, but the ther- mometer seldom goes below zero IF the best populated portions of the ter ritory. From being q land where nc white people lived years sixty years ago it has become country of homes and children. Each town has church es. none is without a public library Eraternal orders maintain good build ings and clubrooms. Each town has al least, one baseball team and outdoor tennis is played in most towns. Dane ing. socials. theatricals and other in door amusements provide diversion during the winter seasons.

 ALASKA INDUSTRIES

Limited space precludes other than the mere mention of number of i'm portant Alaska industries. The value of furs exported, exclusive of fur-seal has averaged over a million dollars per year over long period. The prin' cipal fur-bearing animals are ermine mink, marten, muskrat, fox, beaver bear, wolf and wolverene.
 The reindeer of Alaska now number approximately S00,000. Of this nun Der two-thirds are said to belong to Alaska Indians and Eskimo and the balance to whites. Reindeer are the source of a large portion of the meat supply of several thousand Eskimo in the Seward Peninsu l a, Kotzebue Sound and Kuskokwim River dist ricts. The Lomen Reindeer Corpora ton, of Nome. are the principal eX porters In 1880 reinder meat tot d. ing 1,566,4S5 pounds and valued at S157,91S was shipped from the Terr itory
 Shipments of reindeer by-products such as hides, meal and offal in 1880 possessed value of S47,350.
 Fur farming is a thriving industry, particularly in southeastern Alaska, Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet, and on the islands bordering on the Alas ka Peninsula. Blue fox, silver fox mink and marten are the fur-bearing animals most propagated.
 Sheep raising is also developing in to an important industry on islands of the Aleutian Peninsula. Wool ship ments in 1880 amounted to 69,557 pounds. valued at S16,520.
 Agriculture. as yet a minor Alaska industry. is increasing rapidly and is destined to become one of great i'm portance. There are immense tracts of land in the Matanuska and Panama River valleys which are of demon strable agricultural value. In addit- ion there are numerous smaller tracts along the coastal region and other points in the interior which are suit able for agricultural purposes. Esti' mates by the Department of hgricult- ure place the area of agricultural and grazing land in Alaska at 6i,000,0 ,000 Iacres, exclusive of the great tracts which are suitable for reindeer. There are far more agricultural lands in Alaska than in the entire Scandinav- ian Peninsula, which supports a popu- lation of more than ten million per sons. Approximately 2,500 acres of farm land is under cultivation in the Panama Valley. There is flour mill at Fairbanks which converts many tons of Alaska grown wheat into flour annually. The principal products of Alaska farms in addition to the small grains, are small fruits, such as straw berries. raspberries, entrants and gooseberries; potatoes, rutabagas. car rots, celery; and numerous garden vegetables.
 The United States government maintains five agricultural experiment stations in Alaska, each devoted to the development of agricultural prod ucts which will thrive in the territory.
