ROADS GO TO
STATE SOON
Newly Added Trunk Roads
Will be Maintained by
State in Few Weeks.
Federal Aid of $10,OOO,O0O
to be Used for COnStruc-
ton of Highways.

A delegation of 10 men from vii
lagos along the Great Northern rail-
way between Sandstone and Duluth,
those to be served by the newly added
trunk highway No. 1875, appeared be-
fore Highway Commissioner N. w.
Elsberg in St. Paul Monday afternoon
and urged the early improvement or
construction of said highway.
The delegation was headed by
Banker James H. Hogan of Kerrick,
who is chairman of the committee
selected at a meeting in Kerrick a
few weeks ago to look after the in
terests of the Great Northern vii
lagos with reference to this highway
improvement. Mr.. Hogan told Mr..
Elsberg of the desires of the people
as expressed at the recent Kerrick
meeting which was attended by 200
people, bringing out the fact that
the HOlyoke community would like to
be served by T. H. No. 1876. Other
members of the committee also spoke
with reference to the location of the
route.
Mr.. Elsberg said that the tentative
plan was to follow the present roads
in eastern Carlton county-roads that
have been built at considerable ex-
pense-which would bring the high
way three or four miles west of Hol-
yoke, alongside of the Jay Cooke park
and then into Duluth from the west
side. He suggested that Carlton
wit Dc
connecting link between Holyoke and
T. H. No. 1856 if established a few
miles west of that village. The coun-
try, will, however, be surveyed for
the purpose of establishing the most
feasible route.
State Takes 1t Over Soon.
With the many highways to be built
all over the state, Commissioner Els
berg could not give any definite in
formation at this time on when No.
1856 would be permanently improved,
but he did state that the 4,400 miles
of highway added to the trunk road
system by the Legislature last win
ter would be taken over and main
tanned by the Highway Department
before many weeks-presumably in
August or September No. 1856, from
Sandstone to Duluth, is included in
the added 4,4OO miles of new trunk
highways.
The highway commissioner also in
formed the citizens committee for
No. 1876 that the $10,OOO,OOO which
will receive this year from
the federal government out of the
public works money, and to be spent
on roads must be used for construc-
ton. He added, however, that $685.
100000 can still be used on the bal
ance of the original 1000 miles of
trunk highways in the state if they
were to be permanently improved,
so most of the 4,400 miles added to
the system this year will naturally
come in only for maintenance at the
present. Likely there will be con-
siderable surveying done on the new
routes for future construction as sur
veying, under terms of the federal
act, comes under construction work
and can be paid for out of the federal
public works appropriation.

Will Provide Employment.
FLOYD B. OLSON

Sandstone citizens especially are
anxiously awaiting the o. K of the
Sterilization Board for with that &C
complished it would be but a short
time before things would hum. Speci-
fications call for sandstone to be used
IN the erection of the federal institu-
ton for short term prisoners, so when
the building operations commence it
will give employment to many stone
cutters and laborers in the local quar-
ry and with the William Penn Stone
Co.-the stone cutting sheds-as we'll
as construction work on the building.
The thing that places the Sandstone
project in the position of quick action
is the fact that all preliminary work
had been done prior to the opening of
bids in December. 1t will be recalled
that the Congressional appropriation
was eliminated during the lame duck
session last winter, so little was done
to further the project for a few
months or until the public works pro-
gram was put over by Congress. With
approval by the Sterilization Board
things will move speedily.

AWAITING OK.
FROM CAPITOL
Approval by Sterilization
Board Will Cinch Project
at Sandstone.
Governor Olson Urges APP
prova1 in Telegram Sent
to Washington.

1t now looks like there may be ac-
ton in the construction of the pro-
posed federal prison at Sandstone
sooner than anticipated, if it is in
cluded in the public works program.
A telegram was sent by Governor
Floyd B. Olson Wednesday to the
Sterilization Board at Washington
d. c., asking for their approval of the
project. Approval by the board will
mean action without delay as the
Bureau of Federal Prisons is ready
to go.
Members of the prison committee
at Sandstone have been busy CORE
spending with Minnesota senators and
congressman concerning the project
and on Tuesday State Senator A. S.
Larson received a letter from Con-
gresham Harold Knutson stating that
the Bureau of Federal Prisons is anx-
ious to get started on the project,
awaiting only approval by the Stabili-
cation Board and the advancement of
money by that board. The money
is to come out of the congressional
appropriation for public works, part
of the S3,3O0,O0O,0OO The Sandstone
prison is to cost in the neighborhood
OF 100000 With approval by the
Sterilization Board the Bureau of
Federal Prisons would ask for new
bids in four or five days and the
work may be started in 40 days.
Governor Urges Approval.
AS reported in the American last
week Governor Olson has promised to
include the proposed federal prison at
Sandstone in his recommendations for
construction work in Minnesota under
the federal public works program.
Now that things are developing a lit
tie faster and there is a chance to get
this project ahead of many other pro-
posals, the land having been pur-
chased, plans and specifications drawn,
provisions made for railroad spur, and
other preliminary work done, no OPP
portunity to further the project is
lost sight of.
Representative Hjalmar Petersen,
Askov, being in st. Paul Tuesday and
in contact with the prison committee
at Sandstone, was asked over the tele-
phone to confer with the governors
office on the sending of a telegram to
Washington, urging the approval of
the prison project. The result was
that Governor Olson sent the follow
ing message Wednesday morning:

ITS FAIR TIME.

Again it is Fair time in Juneau. Tomorrow the annual Southeast Alaska Fair opens nere TOT d four-day run. As event it, of course, will not cause MT Will Rogers and the officials of the State Fair" any quams of uneasness, and Blue Boy" can sleep in undisturbed dreams. But It IS "our Fair" During the years since it was 1irSt established through the public spirited interest of many of the citys wide awake citizens it has become firmly established institution. It has lived when others have died because it earned the right to live It has achieved a place for itself which no other activity wholly occupy It has lasted and grown because it has something genuine to offer to the public whose patronage has made it successful
 If it's exhibits are not as numerous and indi- vually large those shown in the more settled communities that is because are still pioneer community We are still in the early stage Of settle ment and development. The articles on display Tn the several departments depict that correctly. AS we develop in the years to come the Fair itself VIII register the advance that we make The products of our agricultural industry will become more varied and numerous. The articles of commerce from manufacturers will show similar advancement Still the Fair the future will not be representative than that which opens Wednesday.
 Until 1882, for number of years past recognz- ing the value such things have to development the Territory had subsidized these expositons all over the Territory. Due to financial strngency in the Territorial treasury this suspended last year Even without that monetary aid, last years Fair here was financial This year again there will be no official assistance forthcoming. The only way it can repeat it's former successes is for the public to patronize it generously. We are sure 1t will do that and that the 1883 Fair will be as popular and well-attended as any in history It is a local enterprise It deserves and undoubtedly will have the solid backing of the community at large.

London market, not affected by the heavy premium of tenpence Hoarders are storing gold in London vaults estimated now to hold between 30OO0O0O pounds and 40,000O00 pounds in Con- tinental hoardngs.
 Comparisons of current and earlier prices for some of the British companies have their counter part in country For instance whc put s1 900 into Sons of Gwaia shares in 1881 could sell for S50,000. Randfonten Estates Company valued at s9,ooo,ooO two years ago. is worth today s5OOo000o. The Alaska Juneau's sensational rise in values parallels either. One thousand dollars invested in it when it touched bottom several years ago would have purchased stock that today would bring about $45,000. Homestake is another com pany to register sensational gains.
 The rise in gold shares in England started when the British went off the gold standard. The recent squirt probably the result of sag in the value of the dollar and pound in relation to the Con- tinental gold currences.

Last week the price of gold in London rose to 130 shings eightpence halfpenny, (about $3l.4o'' the highest price ever recorded there and S2O3 above the previous high for the current year. The English vision world scramble for the precious yellow metal with central banks, hoarders, specu- lators and prospectors all joining in mad rush to buy mining shares Gold men of the financial capital of the world talking of the possibility of the price of gold going to 1855 or even l4o shillings an ounce. When England went OH the gold standard it 85 shings. Foreign exchange experts admit that it is altogether possible for these figures to be attained if the United States initiates it's currency and the British fail to peg the French franc.

AIRPLANE TRAVEL COSTS LOWER.

Since 1926 costs of travel by air have been reduced almost one-half dropping from a 12-cent per mile average for the whole country in that year to six and one-tenth cents in 1882. This is revealed in survey of aerial transportation recently completed by the aeronautics branch of the United States Department of Commerce
 The average rate in 1926 12 cents even for continental United States. It dropped to ten and three-fifths cents in 1927, jumped to Il cents in the following year and back to 12 in 1929.
 Coincident with the decline of all other activities, in 1930 it shot downward to eight and three-tenths cents, and in 1881 it continued it's descent to six and seven-tenthS cents

Nicholson to Paraguay.
(Cincinnati Enuuirer.)


 The selection of Meredith Nicholson for diplo- matic post of importance will not surprise those who know him to be than an author ot salable fiction and charming essays. He is urbane, courtly suave, with instinct for the niceties and amenities He is conscientious and of the first rank of American integences To classify him one would say that it is not surprising he long has been an intimate of Brand Whtlock and that ther ideals are not dissimilar. But Meredith Nicholsons contributions to politics have been very different
 The game of politics in Indiana has always been highly professional. Meredith Nchlsons long serv- ices have been those of who sought no office, but who believed that participation in the election of suitable public servants is the duty of every one entitled to suffrage. His example has been powerful.
 To say that America will be represented in this important South American post by man who represents the best of American citizenship has particular force applied to Meredith Nicholson. It should be remembered that Paraguay is likely to turn up on the front page. The Chaco boundary dispute is as difficult to settle as an Appalachian Mountain feud The post does not represent a soft berth for a writing seeking leisure and assured income. Any novel by Meredith Nicholson with a Paraguayian background is likely to be written after his return and to have plenty of reminiscent action in it.

(By The ASS0clatc0 freSS)
 What to teach children whom the National Recovery program is turning from labor into the class room is a challenging considera- ton in some of the eastern indus trial states.
 It appears, for example, in Pennsylvania, where educators are planning to fit into it's public school system 15,O00 boys and girls from factories and mills, as well as in Connecticut, where provis- ion must be made for 4,000 girls and boys released from labor. Vocational Training Planned
 In Pennsylvania special programs combining vocational training with academic studies are being devised at a time when state and local school finances are low.
 Connecticut's 4,000 potential new pupils could be returned to school without requiring additional teach CTS or equipment, says N. s. Light, director of the field service of the Board of Education.
 Girls Eager to Work
 In most cases he and other state education officials asserted, the girls in particular left school because they hated the classroom and were anxious to get out and make money" even if only a few dollars a week.
 Marcus Marks, who is in charge of the New Haven district, said he had talked to many girls who said they were girls who just man. aged to pass the eighth grade and now that they have lost their jobs because their employers are under a code" they were going to stay home and do housework rather than go back to school with children many years younger.
 Children Support Parents
 He added that in other cases protests came from parents Whc had come to depend on the earn ings of their children.
 Marks cited the case of one la ther, who said his daughter lost a job in a shirt factory where she earned $5 a week, the sole sup port of a family of 10. The father obtained a job at the same factory
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-09-12

but was dismissed after a few weeks as he could earn only S2 a week
 Child labor, Connecticut records show, has decreased steadily in recent years. The peak was reach ed during the world war period when there were 13,714 children holding work certificates in Con- necticut compared with 4,000 on July l, 1883.

Our policy is to maintain navy strong enough to make it impossible for another navy to gain supremacy in the Western Pacific except at cost in losses that would destroy it's position naval power.
 According to the principles of racial equality and equal opportunity we might force against those who exclude our emigrants raise tariffs against our goods but that would violate the spirit of the anti-war pact.
