FULL STEAM AHEAD.

A month ago. Alaska was facing the brightest prospects for its most successful industrial year on record probably exceeding the wartime period when the products of it's fisheries and mines were In great demand Through PWA and CWA activities whlcn had kept hundreds of men in jobs all winter, inoi- vlduals were in better shape financially than ever before and business generally was farther ahead than usual at the end of the winter season. Then came the longshoremen's strike which handicapped all businesses stopped temporarily the iresh fish industry and threatened to close mining and fishing for the entire season. That happily is not to occur We are past that danger and nothing seems to be in the way of clear sailing from now to the end of the year
 The loss incurred during the strike can hardly be made up. But there is no reason why the Territory still should not have banner year, one of the best if not the greatest in it's entire history.
 As far as Juneau is concerned there seems to be no doubt about it being unusually prosperous year We shall have greater mining activity than we have known for great many years The Alaska Juneau is working the largest force it ever has employed and it's recent raise in wages will peneIt not only those directly affected but the entire com munty Development work is going ahead on the Windham Bay property with an encouraging outlook At Herbert Glacier property is to be explored and developed At Berner's Bay work is expected oAN Eagle River mining property that was producer 25 or more years ago. All of this means larger payrolls and more business activity.
 The fisheries too in this district will be operated more extensively than for several years. The re- construction of the Taku Harbor plant by Libby McNeill and Libby and resumption of salmon pack ing and canning there gives employment to many local people and adds to local trade Local troers gilnetters and other fishermen getting more money for their fares than for the past three ol four years
 Construction is at least up to normal The big gest project the Douglas Bridge being erected at cost of about $250,000. Then will come the road between the town of Douglas and the bridge another $lOOO00 to $125,O00 This with the usua expenditures for road maintenance, municipal stree improvements and maintenance, ECW trail crew. and other similar activities insures work for many
 The horizon has real clouds on it now. w are definitely on our way And that way is forward under full head of steam.

that great American desert is in the making throughout the Middle West if crop cultivation and the close grazing of farm and ranch animals are not changed
 The dust storm new phenomenon TOT the East reports the Forest Service, but it is becoming an alarmingly frequent occurrence in the Midwest. For several years the Great Plains region reports of wheat crops blown out of the ground have been coming in despite the fact that wind veocites, as recorded by the Weather Bureau, have not in- creased
 This is the way deserts start" declared A. E. sherman Associate Forester Excessive grazing, which destroys the protective vegetation cover and permits the ground to be tramped into dust and the blowing up of naturally wel-sodded grazing lands for grains make it easy for the wind to whip away the dry soil and develop into destructive dust storm Wind erosion on the plains is like water erosion in the States farther east in it's power to destroy rich land in few years"

Spice of Natural History.
(New York Herald Tribune)


 Time was when boy could put hairs from a horses tail into the water-trough and wait for them to turn into snakes Snakes used to spit on the grass and in the old days hoop-snakeS might be rolling down hill, while sensible serpents doctored themselves after a poisonous meeting, by chewing "herbs" So many choice boyhood beliefs have had to be renqushed, unnatural history fought losing battle with science that bits of lore which cause the mouth to open without obliging the eye to wink have become very scarce Travel writers drived deeper into the bush for their tall tales, until in desperation they must lash python and crocodile together in order to make a penny out of jungle fight. No one regrets the decline of nature faking-a profitable knack while lit lasted-but it does the gulble heart good to Tread, now and then, an item which seems to come straight from the incorporate past and which nevertheless is demonstrably sober.
 Rattlesnakes for example are awfully afraid of getting tanned They cannot" declares Ray mond L. Ditmars, stand the intense heat of the direct rays of a midsummer sum-" and though they seem to bask extravagantly humans they always have shady resort somewhere Dr. Ditmars has know nspecmens to die within the half hour when left out on sunny ledge in collecting bag and not a rattler could survive sunburnt Saturday at Coney. | Better still algators will plunge hastily into the water to escape a wettng. Let us hear with pleasure what the impeccably scientific Dr. Henry Hurd Rusby brings back from the Magdalena River where alligators and crocodiles lie about together on the banks: T greatly astonished and amused by their behavior on the occurrence of a shower Motioness in the sunshine, they would, on the falling of the first drops of rain rise and make for the water for all the world as if anxious to avoid getting wet but slipping at beneath the surface" To those who fancy that these saurias crawl, their walking habits will seem even more delightful They often rise erect upon their legs, like an ordinary quadruped, and the speed they make is remarkable"
 All is not mrth, though, in this world of won ders Ingenious efforts being made to stabilize the tanks on boats which are used for bringing back fish for aquarums. Why? Because fishes get seasick. They feel about travel just as do many of us. Any should be willing to ex- change his youthful horsehair snake for fish which looks just like dead leaf but is experiencing nal de mer-and it's all true!

EARTH's CORE 1,sOo MILES DEEP.

New data the structure of the earth indicate that the core is approximately 1900 miles below the surface This is the report of Dr. D. Gutenberg and Dr. C. P. Richter of the California Institute of Technology before the meetings of the Seismo- logical Society of America
 The California scientists nave been studying speeds of transmission of earthquake waves through the earth They find that the shock start from the center of the disturbance and go along the surface and also through the outer shell of the earth. Somewhere deep below the surface the in ternal hit reflecting layer and, rebounding arrive at the recording station some seconds later than the other shocks.
 Knowing the speed of transmission of the waves and their time of travel seismoogists can estimate the approximate distance of the reflecting layer
 The system is essentially echo method comparable 70 the measurement of the heights of the layers of ionized atoms far above the earth which reflect radio waves similar to the echo method of measuring depths in the by reflect ing sound signals off the floor. The big difference is that for the earthquake studies it is necessary to sit by and wait for suitable dis can be sent out at will and under known con- ditions
 Dr. Gutenberg in his report was hesitant about the nature of the reflecting core. He did admit, however that observation obtained refuted the commonly held belief that the core consists of a semi-fluid material, very dense and subject to a plastic flow. Tar is the most common example of plastic flow for even when cold it will gradually move with properties like liquid though it is hard and almost solid-lke.

Are Profits Criminal?
(Daily Journal of Commerce, seattle.)

Daily Journal of Commerce 5eattle)
 All business is liable to suffer permanent harm if no check is put upon the spreading impression that there is something reprehensive about profts according to article in the current issue of Forbes Magazine.
 The very word profit" is falling into disrepute, as if it were a crime to garner return from honest endeavor. The popular political mood is oath to make any differentiation between neces- sary profit and the previously entirely different connotation of "profiteering" it is contended
 It is time something said in defense of profits. Despite the sins of omission which have been laid at the door of business executives (ustly no doubt in many cases), there is no call to be apologetic about the institution of profits
 The hope of profit is the incentive without which no one would risk capital. And if nothing were ventued In business, there would be nothing gained no national or social gain. Nothing but stagna- ton would result Without profts no business could furnish employment for labor. More profits not less, in the long run produce more employment more public service, more progress
 Given freer hand, business will overcome the handicap of increased costs by great efficiency in other drectonsprovided the profit incentive is not destroyed by progressively onerous restriction and regimentaton.
 Politicians sometimes forget that when they its future is placed in their laps. A free industry will fight its way and make shift to get there somehow. fettered industry often lies down after weary efforts-capita new blood, spirit and vision die. FAt
 Profits are not public menace except under monopoly They are self-regulatory for if they threatened to become unduy large in a competitive industry. other manufacturers attracted to the field and the margin of gain is reduced
