THE ISSUE IS DRAWN.

Senator Howell of Nebraska has introduced Dill in the Senate to authorize the transfer of the outles and powers of the Alaska Road Commission rom the Army Department to the Interior Depar'heii'' A similar bill has been introduced in the House by Representative Taylor of Colorado So the issue IS drawn.
 That Alaska is opposed to the proposed trans fer there is not question of doubt IL couia onlv result in confusion while the Interior Depart ment would be trying to build up road organiza- ton-something that it has not. And after the confusion and slowing down of work it is improbable that the organization would be as satisfactory m any way as the highly efficient Alaska Road Com mission.
 Ii is evident. that the legislation is proposed in the interest of economy It ought to be evident to anyone who thinks at all that economy couio not possibly result from such a transfer In the first place the Army engineers that have charge ol the Alaska Road Commission do not draw salaries from the Road Commission appropriations They are officers in the Army and if not working III Alaska they would still draw Army salaries II there were more important work for them to do else where it is possible that there might be some reason to transfer these activities But even then 1t would seem that the transfer would be to the Government Bureau of Public Roads. However, the Road Com mission is thoroughly organized, has had long eX- perience and is spenddly efficient Why olsturt that situation?
 We do not believe these bills can be passed over the obisction of Delegate Wckersham, and we believe that Delegate Wickersham will effectlvey object

Ancient Migration.
Seattle Tinpes.)

Dr Ales Hrdlicka, a learned scientist of the Smithsonian Institution even though his name is an affront to the proponents of Prohibition, believes that the ancestors of the Mayas Aztecs and lncas formerly lived on Kodiak Island, just south of the Alaskan Peninsula. He has been making an inten- sive study of material which he excavated from the ruins of an ancient village the island last sum- mer Some of the art objects suggest relationship to the culture in Central America and Yucatan
 The theory that the original migrants crossed Bering Strait from Siberia and pushed their way southward to the Alaska Peninsula and thence to Kodiak Island Cooks Inlet and eventually to Mexico and to Central and South America is highly interesting During the later periods of this pre- historic migration, divergent bands pushed eastward across the mountains and became the ancestors of the North American Indians This movement occu- pied several thousands of yeals during which the Indians adjusted themselves to their new envlron- ment.
 There is abundant evidence that Kodiak Island was thickly populated in the distant past. Dr. Hrdlicka has found that every favorable part of 1t is covered with buried village sites The site exca- vated last summer contained about two acres. The remains of subterranean dwellings were found, with many objects showing the culture of the aborlglnal race Another village, which so far has not been touched contains approximately forty acres. He is o the opinion that the latter place the metropo- lis of this ancient subarctic culture.
 Dr. Hrdlicka's theory that the Maya and Aztec civilization was introduced by way of Sloera m- stead of from across the Pacific Ocean in some strange way. seems reasonable. Anyway it will find adherents here in the Pacific Northwest Instead Inf devotng our energies to excavations in Mexico land Central America we have a profitable field for research much home. Archaeologlcal study may shortly become an important industry in the Northland.

Strike While the Iron Is Hot.
Seward Gateway.)

E. F Wann, of the best and most widely known mining engineers of Alaska, and who mas for some time been connected with the Falroahks Exploration Company, offered the suggestion to the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce that an organlza- tion be perfected with view to assembling accur- ate data the mine prospects Of the dlstrlct ana endeavor to enlist capital in that field.
 The suggestion merits deepest consideration, not only by Fairbanks but by every town In the railroad belt Such organization, acting ln the capaclty of brokerage and assisted by skilled mining engineer could do much to stage a mining boom in Alaska.
 It requires the same effort and diligence to stimulate mining and make it successful as Wlth any other business Our principle drawback IS the lack of such an organization of local capital to carry on the work of attracting attention to the gold and other mines in this vicinity, and then to act as an agent for those desiring to sell Let us not wait until wildcat promoters lnvaoe the field and spoil it by offering unworthy proposi- ltions thereby killing one best bet for estab- fishing prosperity in this section of Alaska un-
 matched in its history.

She had never, in all her twenty four years, grown quite indifferent to the coming of dusk; it called all manner of little magics, little flick ering fantasies into her mind. In the country she thought drowsily, evening comes like a bat, every thing darkens under it's wings, but in the city it drops like a dra- comfy aglearn with light and awhirl with enchantment.
 "Jen-nee!"
 She sighed a little and turned away from the window, rubbing her eyes with her hands like an awakening child. Midway between the window and the voice that was still gaily calling, stood a full mirror atilt on it's sand. She hov- cred before it, despairingly con- scious that she seemed barely twenty, when she was actually 24 today, and far more competent than anyone believed,

Very wondering eyes, wide-set and of that pansy -black that has purple in it under the sun. But here came Georgie from her bath; fresh, glowing, scented

 Jenny chuckled. It was sweet, deep sudden sound more appro- rriate, somehow to Georgia's soft throat than to Jenny's. You call me a brain, but do you know what you've forgotten?'
 Gecrgie, half way into her frock, was struck rigid in the midst of fold upon fold of apricot velvet.
 "Jenny. Oh, Jenny Whatever possessed me to forget?" She flashed into the frock and threw her arms around the younger girl. Many, many happy returns, Jen- ny-swest!

 The next second her hand had flown to her mouth. What in the world could have possessed her? To be rude to Georgie, when the very clothes on her back were Gecrgies gift.
 It was a tremendous relief to hear Georgies easy laugh.

 You're only 28.'
 Nearly 30. On Georgie's lips it sounded a gay, reckless achieve ment-being nearly 30. "A jolly good age, too. You don't get nag ged or patronized and you can spend your money as you like. l should be a fool to marry yet Jen."
 Shall you tell Eddie that you won't marry him for ages yet?'
 Georgie's big, creamy shoulders shrugged. sNOh, my dear infant" She began to redden her mouth lavishly with competence. "Yes, ] suppose shall tell him." she agreed presently. Seems a shame, in a way, when he's so proud making. He is proud-making, isn't he Jen?'
 He's nice" Jenny said softly And good -natured and fire-sidey: and he adores you. And he's fla nous in his way. There was a lot in the Record this morning about his last flight. When is he coming to town again?"
 Not this evening, hope" Geor- gie said, grimacing. T do so dread arguing with him. fFraid I'll give way, I suppose, and find myself in a semi mi-detached house, with a daily maid.'
 And yet you want to marry Eddie" Jenny said. Il do wish that you didn't have to leave MT Matching if you marry. Is it ab- solutely out of the question that he would make an exception il your case? Couldn't you possibly persuade him to let you stay on?'
