THE inventions of civilized man
\ are both a help and a hazard.
Before modern homes were built,
houses were constructed of logs or
boards, sometimes made tight by
use of plaster. Rooms were large,
with high ceilings, long windows,
and great double doors.
Such houses were difficult to
heat, but they at least had the ad-
vantage of supplying plentiful
amounts, of fresh moist air. The
modern home usually is an apart
mena house with brick walls,
weather stripped windows, and
steam heat, or q private home with
thick walls and no attic.
The farmer can bank the lower
part of the house with earth, buy a
storm door, and stop up the
windows. The city dweller in a
poorly constructed house can not
avail himself of these natural
methods and is likely to suffer with
the cold.

313,5OO,OOO Slaves

Why all this fuss about the personnel of the new
federal power commission, you ask?
Stop minute and figure the stupendous wealth.
producing energy that these five will command.
There are according to latest estimates $4,000 O00-
horse power of h"dro-eectrc energy capable of pro-
ducng electricity 30 per cent of the time in the United
States and Alaska.
Tree-fourths of all this or 285o0 horse power
comes under jurisdiction of the federal power com
mission, since it lies in national forests and parks or
in ravigabe streams
One horse power of electric energy equals the con-
tnuous labor Of eleven men. This means that five
commissioners will be oyerseers of 313500O00 electric
men" toing all the time This is ten electric slaves
for every family in the United States
If were about to turn to five men the boss
ing of the labor of every SOUL say China or India
we would be pretty careful about whom we selected
since these electric slaves are to be owned in our
own country, should be exceedingly careful whom
we make their bosses. The most capable and public
spirited five in the nation should have been called
to this service.
The ownership of 100000 human slaves caused a
bloody civil in this republic The ownership of
313500000 electric slaves should at least cause some
thought

Hurt by Copper Drop

A S in most other states, the Ari-
n zona legislature just has begun
proceedings. Thus far it has ac-
complished little, except to pass the
'feed BILL" appropriating money
with which to pay itself, and petit
ton congress for tariff on copper.
Arizona produces about one-haK the
copper in this country and has been
greatly hurt by its fall.
Only 20 per cent Of the forty
nine copper producing districts in
Arizona have been operated con-
tinuously since the Macomber tariff
was enacted eight years ago. That
tariff put copper on the free list.
which a good many people believe
Is responsible for its present con-
dition.
It's the same old argument, Of
course, boosting the price of a prod
uct by raising the tariff, forcing us
Americans to buy it and calling the
job prosperity. Nothing wrong with
the scheme, except that about every
country on earth is working it tover-
time. Net result. lot of artificial
barriers which serve no purpose so
distinctly as to diminish trade. while
home folks pay higher prices and
more taxes.
Governor George w. P. Hunt Of
Arizona is reported to have asked
General w. w. Atterbury, president of
the Pennsylvania railroad, for help
in fighting the Boulder dam case,
and General Atterbuy is reported to
have told Governor Hunt that "per-
haps Pennsylvania and Arizona can
do some trading"
Perhaps they can, but wouldn't it
be a funny coalition2 Whether right
or wrong in her contention that the
Boulder dam contract is unfair, Ari-
5ona certainly takes strange ways
in trying to correct it.

Willar niette, Ore-r and went to Nome in 1901. In that year he moved his family to Skagway, where he became interested in a m0lyhdenum mine.. Re went to Fairbanks in the early days of that camp.
 MT. Buzby was one of the. very earliest ranchers in the Interior. Ike took up a homestead soon after his arrival at Fairbanks, locating on the tanks of the Cinema one and a quar-
 CT miles above the location of the present wireless station. He cleared land and starte da market garden growing many vegetables which al that time it was thought impossible to grow in the Interior. He contrib uted much to the knowledge of farm ing and stock raising in Alaska.

Alaska's first census following it's purchase from Russia was made, in 1880. It consisted of a canvas of all settlements and estimates based on records and personal knowledge of missionary priests for those regions wh oh could not be visited by enum- crators. Since then a census has been .aken every decade, but, of course, the results are now much more ac- curate than formerly, as complete coverage of the country is made by enumerators.
 The. population of the Territory on October 1, 1929, the date when the enumeration under the fifteenth cen sus was commenced, was $, 9,278. This figure represented an increase of 4,242, or 7.7 per cent as compared with the population on January l, 1920. The average number of inhab- ltants per square, mile is one-tenth of ore, as compared with less than one tenth of one in 1920
 In 1910 Alaska had the largest number of residents, 64,3s6. In 1880 5here. were 33,426 residentss in 1890, 32,O52; in 1900, 63,592; in 1910, 64,- 356; in 1920, 55,O36.
 The First division continues to be the largest settled area in the. Terri tory. There are 19,304 residents there, as compared with 1O,127 fol the Second division, the division with the least population. The Third di. vision has 16,3O9 inhabitants, and the Fourth 13,538.
 The Fourth divisions gain of 3,02s residents in a decade is the largest gain numerically and by percentage It is an increase of 28.5 per cent, as cmpared to 10.9 for the First divi sion., The. Third division made a gair of B per cent, and the Second divi sion lost 2 per cent

the weather cleared toward pm Carpe and Moore left camp at 10 pm, reaching the summit in clear weather, after difficult going be- cause of fresh snow, at am. June 8. There was not much wind but the temperature was well below zero. They found the party had been within about 200 feet of the summit on June g. Descent was made with difficulty, especially between the 9,O00-foot and 5,000-foot camps be- cause of bad snow and ice condi- tions. Lituya Bay was reached late on June II. The party had just about reached the end of it's sup plies.
 Last summer Carpe, Moore and Tayqlor made the first ascent of Mount Bona Q6,421 feet) in the St. Elias range.
 Climbed Mount Logan
 Carpe and Taylor were of the party which climbed Mount Logan in 1925 Moore made the ascent of Mt. Chimborazo (20700 feeD in Ecuador, South America, in 1929 and also the first ascent of Mt. Saugay q7600 feet) a few weeks later. Andrew M. Taylor is well known hunter and guide of the in- terior. He is an experienced man at all altitude and it is doubtful whether the expeditin would have been undertaken or succeeded with out him.
 Mount Fairweather although not so high as several other Alaskan peaks is difficult. It is much more difficult than Mt. Blanc, for in- stance. The glaciers and slopes about the base of the mountain are very rough and at times it is a puzzling matter to find a way through. The more than 10000 foot ascent from the 5,00O-foot camp is mainly a problem of very steep snow and ice slopes. It is the largest, steepest snow and ice ascent any of us have ever made. There is great satisfaction in hav- ing conquered this beautiful noun tain which may have viewed with thrills of admiration but which few have approached.
