DESERVED PRAISE FROM AUTHENTIC
 SOURCE.

The praise of Bernard 2. Smith, one of the most active Wall Street brokers and heaviest stockholders in the Alaska Juneau. for the Bradleys and others of the management of Juneau's great gold mine, is pleasant reading. It is such praise have be- come accustomed to for these who won the long and hard fight to make one of the worlds greatest mines at this place MT. Smith declared
 If more of the countrys industrial estab-
 lishments in such capable hands as the
 Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, there
 would be less restlessness regarding corpor-
 ate securities
 That is highly complimentary but how true it is know better than those of this City who have followed through the years the development of this remarkable property. The Alaska Juneau is the most valuable Alaska asset-the Alaska Juneau and its organization.
 It is worth lot to Juneau and Alaska to have had visitor of the prominence and ability of Mir Smith and to have him completely capitulate to the value of leading industry and the charm of country and people. Mir. Smith has a large Following in the financial world. He is regarded of the shrewdest and most capable of New York's fnanciers, and millions are ready for in- yestment upon his judgment

1927 and Now.
(New York World Telegraph

(New York World-Telegram)
 The continuing series of remarkably successful airplane flights is reminiscent of a similar series of triumphs in the summer of 1927.
 Then Lndbergh made his epochal flight fol- lowed by Chamberlin and Byrd. Then came the Hawaiian flights of Leutenants Maitland and Hegenberger and Smith and Bronte. It began to seem that the airplane had become at last in- vincible.
 As a parallel to the 1927 series of brilliant long distance exploits we have just had the Post-Gatty expedition the flights of Hors and Hlig, of Magyar and Endres, of Pangborn and Herndon, Boardman and Polando and the persistent, though luckless, attempts of the two Texas fliers, Jones and Rob- bins as well as the leisurely cruise of the Lind berghs.
 This seasons flights have achieved longer dis tances Where Chamberlin flew 3900 miles Board man and Pangborn flew 5000 And the Post-Gatty flight involving the taking off and landing on many strange airfields and gruellins stretches with scant sleep, marked entirely new stage in aviation progress.
 All of the present years fliers have had the advantage of greatly improved motors, planes and navigating instruments And all, as did the heroes of 1927, made the most painstaking preparations.
 So ends the analogy between the famed 1927 sea- son and of the presnt one The 1927 victories followed by a series of tragic failures. People then, as now were saying that aviation had finally reach ed the state of safety. Enthusiasts, encouraged by what Lindbergh, Chamberlin, Byrd and the others had done, thought that if they, too, were sitting behind a Wright Whirlwind they could go any where under any conditions
 This foolhardy overconfidence resulted in over whalmng disaster to the Dole Derby to Honolulu and to the tragic transocean attempts of Mrs Grayson and her companions, of Elsie Mackay, the Princess Lowenstein- -Werthem, of J. B. Hill and Lloyd Bertaud of Redfern and Metcalfe and Fully
 Undoubtedly aviation has achieved tirely degree of safety and reliability. And yet the disasters to iI-prepared flights following the 1927 successes are a warning against epidemic of ill-advised limitations
 Aviation suffered cruelty in damaged public fidence from the 1927 disasters. The art, which is now making such good hsadway, should be spared the injury which even one lost plane would cause

SUPPORT THE GASTINEAU CHANNEL
 BRIDGE.

The Douglas Chamber of Commerce has spon- sored movement to get bridge Gastneau Channel between Juneau and Douglas. The proposi tion has met with the support of the Juneau Cham ber and it ought to be carried to fruton Not only would such bridge advance the business interests of both Juneau and Douglas but, as MT. Gallwas said at the meeting of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce the other day, it would give the resi- dents of Douglas access to the road system that is being developed on Gastineau Channel. The people of Douglas entitled to that consideration.
 Nothing brings communities together ef- fectively than adequate of transportation between them. There ought to be automobile com munication between the two most prominent towns of this section. It would contribute to the growth convenience and pleasure of both of them.

Another Ambassador.
(New York Times.1

America put Tn a good stroke for stability and peace in Europe when MT. Mellon felt a bit run down and went over for vacation. We kept up the good work when Mir Stimson confessed to the need of long rest and took ship for Cherbourg But the situation in Europe in general, and Ger many in particular will not be completely normal until Mayor Walker has begun to make his presence felt.
 What the people on the other side need most it is now generally recognized is selfhelp Short term credits are pretty good, and MT Mellon has attended to that Long-term credits are better and MT. Stimson has made himself useful in this direc- tion. But best of all is an American statesman who induce the Europeans to crack smile.
 When you have said this you have said Jimmie Walker There is other American public man so eminently qualified to remind the people of Ger many that the sun is to rise tomorrow, even he has not been up early enough himself to ob- serve the phenomenon How long will it be before Jimmie has the German public grinnng between dis count rates?
 Self -help-that is what Walker the Debonaire exemplifes. Nothing else but. He does not have to preach He is his lesson. His smiling pres- ence is way of asking Breunng and Curtus and Hindenburg and Laval and Ramsay Macdonald and the bank presidents and the others to recall what are their cares compared with his own. Transit, magistrates, vice squads gang murders district at torneys milk rackets kosher chicken assassnations Seabury, Untermyer, school graft park graft, the Committee of Fourteen, the Committee of One Thousand-in the face of all these worries do you find the Mayor emitting cries for help?
 He does not He resorts to self-help He goes off on vacation. He forgets it all He smiles and he jests. The sight of him is equivalent to a six months moratorium Take Jimmie for walk up Unter den Linden, down the Champs Eylsees and through Pail Mall and the European situation is permanently stabilized.

HOW TO TRAP WOLVES AND COYOTES
 IN ALASKA.

Success of the reindeer industry and future abundance of game in Alaska depend to a great extent on the control of wolves and coyotes, says Harlan H. Gubser Alaska leader of predatory animal control under the Bureau of Biological Survely, U. S. Department of Agriculture, in a multigraphed pamphlet entitled Suggestions for Trapping Wolves and Coyotes in Alaska" issued recently
 The coyote says MT. Gubser, has only recently made its appearance il some parts of Alaska. Un- checked the animal it is feared is likely to become a handicap more serious than the wolf. The wolf he explains kills one adult for food but the coyote preying principally on the young kills many more animals to obtain the same quantity of food.
 Preying upon fox pups and competing with fur bearers in it's quest for food the coyote becomes great menace also to the fur industry of Alaska Nearly per cent. of the population of Alaska engage in trapping, and thus directly affected by the depredations of these animals" says the leaflet.
 The leaflet stresses the need for cooperation in controlling the coyote and wolf, and gives direc- tons for trapping them The author discusses equipment for trapping, natural and fetid scents lures, and suitable places for setting traps, and describes various kinds of sets-trai scent, muskeg snow, and ice sets Ten don't for trappers," series of cautions concludes the directions for trapping and there is added a section on den hunting
 This leaflet may be obtained free on request from the Biological Survey Office in Juneau leaf let, Hints Coyote and Wolf Trapping" dealing with conditions ranges of the Western States but including illustrations of trap sets and nforma tion of value to Alaska rappers is also recommended in the new leaflet

YUKON MEMBER IN F Al Q R OF
 |NTL. HIGHWAY
George Black, M. P, from Yukon, Lauds Gold
 en Twilight Route

The proposed British Columbia Yukon-Alaska Highway is entirely feasible, and the route which ha: been under consideration presents TO great difficulties from an en- gineering standpoint" said the Hon George Black, Speaker of the House of Commons, at Ottawa, and member for the Yukon, who passed through Juneau last Saturday night on the Princess Louise, en- route to Dawson.
 MT. Black, accompanied by Mrs. Black, has just returned from an informal conference by three of the six members of the proposed in- ternational committee who will make study of the project. The first formal meeting of this com mittee is to be held in Victoria about October 10.
 Golden Twilight Route
 Golden Twilight Route" is the appellation given to the highway, according to MT Black. He said that the committees duties would be to merely discuss the project and ascertain the factors which will enter into the building of the road. Other members of the com mittee are Ernest Walker Sawyer, executive assistant to the Secre- tary of the Interior, for the Unit ed States; George N. Napier, as- sistant chief engineer for the province of British Columbia; J. Nj Wardle, Federal Parks Engineer for the Dominion parks; Major Malcolm Elliott, President of the Alaska Road Commission, and Her bert H. Rice, prominent automotive of Detroit.
 Sawyer Is Enthusiastic
 Ernest Walker Sawyer spoke en- Enthusiastically for the propose at this informal meeting, pointing out the benefits which would naturally accrue to the prov free of British Columbia through the opening up of vast areas of what is now virtually uninhabited country. Alaska already has 2,000 miles of road, he said, and the highway through British Columbia would link these roads with those If Canada and the United States.

 Much detailed information about British Columbia has been assem- bled to present to the committee, MT. Black said, also information from other territories which will be trayersed by the highway. This information is the result of sur veys which have been made along the route. This information will be laid before the permanent com mittee in October.

The Democrats will hold the first political meet ing preliminary to the 1892 campaign in this city this evening at the City Hall. There should be a representative attendance of Democrats And when the Republicans have such meeting, if at all, there should be a general attendance at it.
