are unsurpassed
In Prosperity the famous pair
are cast as mothers-in-law, and
they are battling the same as they
have battied in all their previous
successes. In trying to regulate
the lives of their son and daugh-
ter they make a merry mix-up
CT affairs for the younger people
and themselves, breaking up the,
married life of the juniors, but
eventually things get Strengthened
out.

ing a mother-in-law, is also pres
ident of bank, and gives some,
new ideas on conducting a finan-
cial institution.

Washington Nous Letter
 By Will A. Steel

When the Garner relief bill was introduced in the House it contained two appropriations for building projects in Alaska Anchorage and Ketchikan, and for a number of river and har- bor projects in Alaska. It also contained appropriations for in- l,umerable projects in every Congressional district in the United States. As a result many Of the residents of the respective towns entered their protests a : gainst these public buildings, claiming that the rented build irgs answered every purpose with a great saving to the gov- |ernment. This gave rise to the lcharge of pork" appropriations and when the bill went to the Senate the various building and river and harbors projects all over the United States were cut out and the revised bill was ac- cepted in conference by the House, with practically no ob- lection. Thus Alaska was treat ed like the state of New York and all other states, with the general understanding that the Alaska items and all other mer- itorious items would be included ill the general public buildings and rivers and harbors bills and passed at the December session of Congress. This explanation seems necessary to set aright some critics in Alaska who pre- tend to think that the Territory
 
 was discriminated against, which is an absolutely erroneous thought.
 The Telephone Bond and Share Co.,, of Ketchikan, has made application to the Federal Radio Commission for modif1ca- ton of construction permit for extension of completion date to August IS, 1883. The station is K7XD. Joseph T. Bauer, six miles south of Chichagof, KWW, has applied for renewal of point-to-point license for 178kc., 150W., and also for renewal of coastal telegraph license for frequency not to exceed 1.5kc,, 15OW.

 Washington newspapers draw attention to the fact that the recent discovery of gold in Alaska and other parts of the world is creating a new gold fever that should result in re- newed activity in mineral pros pecting and the opening up of many new mines. As one paper states: Views from Cordova, Alaska, now announces the dis covery of a gold-bearing ledge, described as the biggest in the world This ledge, in the Cop per River Railroad area, was un- covered, it is believed, by a change in the course of the stream. Nevada is excited over the gold quartz discovery a. Summit Springs, thirty miles south of Hawthorne, once Q. fourishing mining camp. Other strikes have been reported from time to time. Some of them may have merited beck of their claims, and others may be pure ly promotional in character. While such reports should not always be accepted at face value yet there is good reason to watch developments. That out of this through search of Moth CT Earth's rugged bosom there should come worthwhile finds, perhaps bonanza locations need surprise no one"
 Referring particularly to the mines in Alaska, the Nashville Banner declares: "In the light O. the the history of it's pur- chase, it is especially interesting to see indications from time to time that the real value of to the United States is increasing as we learn more about it. When Secretary Seward bought Alaska from Russia III 1867 for $7,2OO,OOO in gold there was a great outcry on the part of an indignant public. The ter ritory was popularly referred to as Stewards Folly and people said there was no accounting for the senseless extravaganza in which public officials would indulge, and so on. Recent geo. logical surveys in Alaska have emphaS1zed several facts about Alaska that make the biting critism of Secretary Seward in days gone by all the more anus ing"

 Starting August first extensive observations of the upper at mosphere are being undertaken hy the Weather Bureau as a part of the program of the in ternational Polar year By means of kites, captive, pilot and sounding balloons, and air plane ascensions it is planned to obtain as complete a record as possible of temperature a n d wind conditions in the tropos- phere and lower regions of the stratoSphere. This will form part of a world wide record to lee compiled during the year by tine cooperating nations. The whole picture is expected to prove of vital significance in fu- ture weather prediction. A spe- cial station is to be established at Point Barrow, on the Arctic coast of Alaska. This is the farth est north point under the A. r1erican flag and one of the porthernmost permanent sta tions to be set up by any of the nations engaged in the polar year project. c. J. McGregor, Weather Bureau meteorologist, now is on his way to Barrow to set up this station. In addition, pilot ballon observations are to he made twice daily during the year at stations at Juneau, Fair banks and Nome.
 One of the best means for the study of the stratosphere is the balloon, which ascends to enormous heights and then drops freely, to be returned to the Weather Bureau by whoever happens to find it. It probably will be impossible to make much use of this instrument at the Point Barrow stations because most of the balloons would fall in uninhabited territory where it is unlikely they would be re- covered.
 Regular airplane aScensions are to be made from the Fair banks station. These will provide data up to four or five miles. It is possible that some of them will reach the stratosphere, especial ly during the winter, when this constant temperature layer drops close to the earth in the polar regions. At all the select ed polar year stations observa- tions will be made at least twice a day of the principal meteoro- logical elements, including pres sure, temperature moisture, wind, sunshine, cloudiness and precipitation. The observations will be entered on special forms provided for the purpose and forwarded to the International Polar Year Commission. The worldwide cooperation will make possible the study in greater detail than ever before of the atmosperic circulation between the polar regions and lower attitudes. This is perhaps the most vital of all factors in the weather of the Northern Temperate Zone.
 The Weather Bureau also will furnish the international com mission data concerning solar radiation of the aurora borealis Automatic records of the total solar radiation received will be
 taken at Washington, Madison

00C made available for disposi- tion by the Recontruction Fin ance Corporation to the various needy States and Territories. If the resources of Alaska are in adequate to meet it's relief needs when the Governor is author iZed to borrow from the Corpor- ation such amounts as may be necessary, at a rate of interest Of per centum per annum. The funds borrowed shall be admin istered by the Governor or un- der his direction. The suggestion is made that in buying needed supplies for the unemployed and unfortunate that a general price agreement be secured from the retail grocers and that the SUD- plies be purchased in the com- runities in which they are to be disposed.
 The Superintendent of the House Office Building is arrang- ing to have all the rooms in the building repainted and removal ed, having commenced on the first floor, This includes room 167 of the Delegate from Alaska, who will temporarily occupy room 324, through the courtesy Of Congressman Ralph A. Horr, of Seattle, who is now in the west seeking a renomination.
 Behind the great and growing use of the air as medium of transmitting radio signals and broadcasts rests the activity of the staff of the Radio Division of the Department of Commerce, comprised of men who handle a wide range of technical de- tails and the administrative personnel in which direction of the agency's work is centered. A review of activities by W. D. Terrell, head of the division, re- veals the importance of the work done by Federal workers on duty with the unit. This review, deal ing largely with work done by the division during the last fis- can year, furnishes an indica- tion of the continuing duties of the agency, both in Washington and in the field.
 Inspection of the radio in- stallations on ships are made to determine that the apparatus is in good working order and ir charge of competent operators. It has for it's purpose, of course, the protection of life and pro- perty. The radio stations to be inspected are situated in all parts of the United States, Alas ka, Hawaii, and Porto Rico. It is not possible with the limited in spection force of the Radio Divi- sion to inspect regularly the more than 26,OOO licensed radio transmitting stations.

 The Delegates office has re- ceived a letter from Alaska in quiring why politics are inject ed by some of the partisans Of the Territory in discussing the Appropriations made by Con- |gress. An instance is given in letting that Hawaii received Federal Highway aid while Alaska failed to receive a slice of this fund, but it was not eX- !plained that several years ago Hawaii was included in the Fed Ieral aid legislation, while Alaska Icontinued to receive her appro- priations in the old way. Major Elliott, President of the Alaska Road Commission, the Agricul- tural Department and various committee members of the Se-

held purely for speculation with no effort made to develop them. It is difficult to ascertain the number of claims patented but the Department of the Interior is now figuring out the number of patents that have been is- sued, with the idea that each patent will average between two and three claims, as the large majority are for one claim only. But the Department states that after a patent is issued it is all most impossible to determine into whose hands the claims finally reach.
