FOOL FRIENDS.

Some Western Democrats are trying to
 get platform plank pledging the party
 to course of development in Alaska. It's
 good move; it ought to win.
 It was the Klondike rush and the dis
 covery of new gold fields that did much to
 bring good times to the West around the
 turn of the century. The golden flood start
 ed business wheels turning everywhere.
 For years, Alaska has been deliberately locked up by various big interests Nor gan, of course dominates these interests
 and administration of the Territory proceeds he wishes
 The Northern Territory is everyone knows vast treasure house, filled with metals timber coal, oi--a thousand prod ucts Its lands capable of supporting millions of people in comfort.
 But no man without large capital-and permission from MT Morgan-can go to AL aska and work with any hope whatever of success There is chance for the average man-and never will be, as long the door
 is locked and Morgan holds the key.
 Every Westerner would benefit by the
 flood of new wealth that would follow an
 intelligent, liberal policy of Alaskan devel- opment by the people and for the people,
 Seattle Star0
 While the good intentions of the Seattle paper are appreciated reminded that someone onc' upon time asked to be saved from fool friends Tn this instance the harm is by an uninformec friend
 Alaska has not been locked up by big interests Such development have in this Territory has largely the result of big interestsamong them the Morgan interests
 The locking up of Alaska has been mostly due to following the policies of Progressive friends Pnehot particularly The Star is Progressive with big P. They caused the locking up of the coal and oil lands, and made the timber unavailable for a long time. These things stopped the building oi railroads and other development in the Territory. Then came Wilson and inaugurated a policy of repairing wrongs. It was decided that the Gov ernment must not be hog in the manager. If it would not let private citizens develop the Territory it would build railroad. Congress acquiesced and we got the Alaska Railroad. Patriotic and intelli- gent men the Forest Service suppored by friends in Congress and the Executive Departments, at last worked out plan for timber development. Congress and the Forest Service made liberal allowances fol road building.
 Then another Progressive Senator to leac fight to raise freight and passenger tolls the Alaska Railroad so high as to impair the useful ness of the railroad. Now the Interior Department wants to take the Richardson Highway ano charge tolls it that it's services also might bt impaired Others at Washington want to withdraw

"Cap" Dollars Ships.
(New York World Telegram )

Robert Dollar, mutimillionaire master of many ships, has put out to his last and most mysterious voyage. Hardbitten unlettered and prac- tical as was this God-fearing old Scotchman, his going leaves his adopted country with vision of courage it seems peculiarly to need right now
 Don't wait for your ships to come in," he used to say. They'll in all right so long as you keep sending em out" Gap" Dollar kept send ing 'em out to the very last.
 At Il he was a cooks helper in a Canadian log gers camp, learning to "figger" by candle light on piece of bark Twice he went broke as farm .r and lumberman.
 At 57 he sent to Shanghai a tiny schooner of lumber, bringing her back laden with tea, spice and silk. He had discovered the Pacific commercially
 At his death at the age of 88 he was operat- ing fleet of more than fifty vessels, including fleet of round- world liners
 Always he believed the Pacific the ocean of destiny, that the Mediterranean and Atlantic civ- zations had seen their day.

1 control over her nerves to return She could hear Gill downstairs ir his office, moving heavily about and she could hear the muffled 1 noises of the street outside, the hootings and grandings of the cars and the cries of the children on the pavement. For some odd req son, she remembered that at this hour Eyle Street was on the very edge of twilight and that Jenny funny kid, loved to watch the dusk
 She shivered but got up, and turned resolutely up the stairs. Face things, face things cried her courage. Face the fact that Jenny isn't child and that Eddie always really wanted a home-loving little wife who would leave all the ad- venturing to him. Face the fact that Eddie can't go on adventur- ing at all, for a bit, and that be- ing a man and illogical, he will want home loving wife all the more!
 She faced all these truths and with her head up and her redden- ed lips smiling, she ran up the flight that led to her apartment. Nevertheless, as she laid her hand on the door and heard a step on the inner side of it, she darted away and up the next flight, and stood there, panting, while Eddie opened the door and came out on the landing.

SAN FRANCISCO, December s.
The San Francisco Bay district is
counting heavily upon its two big
bridges, which ere now getting def
nite,y under way, not only to span the
famed Golden Gate and the broadest
expanse of the bay itself, but also to
help span the interval between low
poini of the depression and the re-
vival of better times and generally in
creased normal employment.
Contracts have been let for the
building of the Golden Gate Bridge,
to cost s32,8l5,000, and routes within
San F,cncisco to handle the motor
traffic ;-sin~ it are being worked out.
It is esinated that this bridge will
require the employment of $500 work
ers On the bridge itself for four years,
and of 1850 men in supplementary
serv.ces-transporta mills, shops,
mines, quarrleS, etc.
Contracts for the building of the San
Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge-Whlch
in reality will be two bridges, one from
San Francisco to an island In the bay
and the other from the island to OAK
land-are to be let in February. WORK
should start soon alteT tIldI oil tilc Ploy-
ect which will cost about S75,000,0 900.
IT is estimated that the bay double-deck
span-providing for both electric train
and motor traff1c-will develop the
equivalent Of four years employment
for 5000 men on the bridge itself and
for 1900 in supplementary services.
These two bridge projects Will be OF
help in relieving the Unemployment
situation in the bay area, and have
been pushed toward start rapidly in
recent months largely with that OBJ
jective, but responsible civic and labor
leaders of the district are urging that
unemployed in other areas not flock to
San Francisco hoping to obtain work.
Sufficient labor is available locally, and
restrictions will undoubtedly be enforced
on both projects limiting jobs to bona
fide local workers.
while San Francisco and the bay
region would like to share the employ
ment to be provided by these gigantic
projects" says John Cuddy, managing
director CT Californians, Inc, such is
impossible Citizens in this region are
to be chosen in practically every in
stance, for more rapid recovery from
depression will be experienced by giving
men actually at the location the prefer

Flyers Report Variety of Unusual
Experiences on Border
Mission.

A variety Of unusual experiences, in.

ed in night spent in a native hut,
marked an aerial survey by Lieut.. H.
K. Baisley and Staff Sergt. B. C. Pow
ers, Army Air Corps, of the interna-
ticn2l border between Guatemala and
Honduras, according to final reports re-
ceiyed by the War Department.
Only one airplane was sent on the
mission and the pilot and photographer
were forced to maintain the plane, fuel
ing being accomplished from f1ve-gallon
cans hauled by ox-cart.
The forced landing, made in a pour
ing rain just before nightfall, found the
plane in a clearing miles from any
town. Natives took the flyers to hut
which housed eight or 10 people and
turned over to them the guest beds. -
one a 2-foot-wide plank, the other
two narrower planks covered with can
vas. A supper of pig, blue beans and
rice and plantain failed to arouse the
appetites Of the stranded pair. The
night was spent listening TO arguments
Of native guests and fighting field rats
which refused to stay in the fields.
The photographing of the boundary
location of which long has been a sub
ject of dispute, required 90 hours and

CASH TALKS

Our agent in Los Angeles has sent us another one of those ex- traordinary Diamond Bargains. It is a stone weighing more than three-fourths of a carat, fine blue white color and practically per feet. It is mounted in a platinum setting surrounded with eight small CT diamonds two of which are marquise shaped The whole job cost somebody about $75000 several years ago. Times must be tough down there with lots of sellers and few buyers when they let these things go for the price it is offered to us. We don't need it in our business and will pass it on to somebody for $250.00 cash or send it back. This is an opportunity for somebody with some idle money as even if the world goes broke this value will not get any lower and when we come back there will be a nice profit.
