 Alaska is the stepping stone to
 Soviet Russia through Siberia, with
 only 56 miles of water between the
 two mainlands. Under ordinary
 circumstances the fur and gold
 trade of Siberia would be coming
 to us through the airports of Nome
 and Fairbanks.
 "SouthWard from Fairbanks, the
 new Alaska Railroad winds it's pic
 turesque and substantial path 476
 miles to the Port of Seward. Sew ard on Resurrection Bay, lies di- rectly in the path between San Francisco and the Orient. From San Francisco to Manila via Hono- lulu it is 7.700 miles, but via Seward lit is 7,3O0 miles.
 Alaska is today an island. Ra-
 dio, airplanes and ships are the only me cans of communication. California even in 1849 could be reached by OK team Alaska, 82 years later, is still impossible for the modern caravan. Civilization follows the sword, but population and prosperity now follow the mo- tor car. The United States has 26,- 500,000 motor cars.
 Three million miles of highway have made these cars tributary to the successful development of the Pacific Coast States. Seventy mil- lion tourists are now coming to California via motor every month. From Tia Juana to Vancouver stretches today the longest paved highway in the world. Billions have been spent to develop the areas !: contiguous to that highway. North l ward from Vancouver for 75 years the pathfinders of British Colum- bla have been extending their highways. Tn 1859 British Colum- bia had gold strike. Two hun dred million dollars was taken from the Caribou district and her Maies- ty Queen Victoria sent a detach- ment of her own Royal Engineers to the Fraser River to build a high way. The rock walls built by those engineers remain in use today, evil dence of the intention of perma- hence and engineering skill. Last year the various links of that road system through the scenic Fraser River were completed and declared ! open to the public. Today thous- andS of motors are rolling over perfect paved and gravel roads that cad $50 miles from Vancouver through the Land of the Golden ] Twilight to the delightful village ] ,f Hazelton. On July 4, 1881, over 5O,0O0 people in 33,146 motor cars crossed and recrossed the Cana < Han boundary line on the Pacific $ Highway. This gives some idea of he possible traffic of the near fu- l ure with our northern neighbors. I [ has been my privilege to drive ( yer the road to Hazelton and I I 'lsh I could show you pictures of ne great bridges across the Fraser. he beautiful timber enroute, the Is

BALL GRAND
 SUCCESS IN EVERY WAY

The grand masque ball at Pioneer Hall last Saturday night was one of the. happiest events pulled off here in many 8 day.. The floor was crowd ed with the, masked dancers, and it was good guesser who could pick out any of the masked ones.
 The costumes worn, aside from being more or less m,ystifying, were generally quite elaborate, presenting 8 pleasing and amusing spectacle. It wo4ld be hard to give personal men, oion to all, other. than to say that all characters were good. Conspicuous among the best,. however, among the men, was that of Dave Clough in rustic character; that of Chester Brink, as convict, with ball and chain attached to leg, and who ap- peared as though he had served about ten years and had several more to go; that of Eric Hard, black suit and high stovepipe hat, representing a type of gentleman of days of long ago. Depicting the character of the waiting bride,. Mrs. Chester Brink in gorgeous bridal array, with note on back "Waiting at,4the church door," was good, as also was Miss Margaret Clough, who acted as flower girl. Diogenes-he who was always look ing with lantern fer an honest man-was depicted by Mrs. n.,>E. Clough, although it is not known how many, if any, received the okay. Others among the ladies who were nicely costumed were Mrs. James Weir and Mrs. L. Livenhagen of Ophir, as well as Taktna ladies gen. erally.
 The music was provided by Robert Lowrie and Captain -,J.. H. Mclean and was thoroughly" appreciated, as attested by the .lateness of the hour to which dancing was continued.
 Among those in attendance from Ophir were Mrs. James Weir, Mrs. L. Livenhagen, Andy Hansen, Nels Vibe, John Repo, Eric Hard, Matt Kivi and Jesse Baugh.
 Coming up from Takotna were Deputy U. S. Marshal J. H. Hubbard, Russell Hubbard, Frank Lange, Wood row Vanderpool, Robert Vanderpool. Edward Konig, Miss Helen Konig, Harry Dulac, Nick Ponds, Jack Me- Donald, Pete Michel, Bert Dementoff.
 It is whispered about that the next big masquerade for Takotna is sched- uled to occur on New Years eve, which at this time seem sa long way off, but which notice, at any rate, will give ample time for all hopeful participants to prepare themselves for that occasion.

NEW YORK WORLD PAPERS
 PUT ON MARKET FOR SALE

NEW YORK.-The effort of an immigrant genius to build a news paper which would stand as monu- ment to his ideals seems to have failed
 The three New York Worlds-the Morning World, the Evening World, and the Sunday World-are for sale by Joseph Pulitzer, Jr., and Ralph Pulitzer, sons of Joseph Pulitzer, who founded the papers in 1883.
 They asked the surrogate court to allow them to sell the goodwill and circulation of the papers to the Scripps- Howard chain for an esti- mated $5,OO0,O00.
 The price is said to be the largest offered for newspaper in this coun- try, considering that only the title and goodwill are offered and the chain is not purchasing the physical property.
 It is said the papers have been los ing $S11,0O0 annually and the re- maining surplus is only $500,000.
 The court was told the papers could publish only 90 days more. Paul Block offered $5OO,OOO more than the amount offered by the Scripps group.
