LAST OBSTACLE REMOVED.

With the approval of the War Department OF
plans drafted by the Alaska Road Commission for
a bridge Gastineau Channel and its granting
of a permit for that structure. the last technical
obstacle to its construction is removed There only
remains now to design plans and prepare specifica-
lions that will be within the limits Of. the funds
made available, that will not be SO excessively
above that figure that any necessary additional
funds cannot be had This, we believe, is perfectly
feasible.
1t will take sometime to prepare the plans and
call for bids the project. Probably 80 days will
elapse before actual construction work can be
launched. Ike P. Taylor Chief Engineer of the
Commission, has programmed it so that no time
will be wasted AS soon plans and specifications
for the piers ready, bids will be called for on
them Then the span will be drafted and bids
sought on it. Next the contracts for building the
approaches will be let. In this manner work will
actually keep apace of the drafting of plans. and
no time will be lost. In this way the Gastineau
Channel Bridge will become reality probably
within the year.

An Heir to the Oldest Throne.
New York Herald Tribune)

NEW YORK Herald IrlDuneD
There is no present within the power of men
or gods to bestow that could have been half SO
welcome to the Japanese people at this holiday
season that which the Empress Nagako presented
to the nation early Friday morning This fifth child
but first of the Emperor Hirohito is accepted
by overwhelming majority of the Japanese people,
with unshakable faith the direct descendant in
the 125th generation of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu
Daingu the celestial patroness of the Yamato
race They also believe faithfully that in this
baby's veins the blood of Jmmu Tenno who
was born 2645 years ago, who established the i'm
perial power at the age of fiftytwo and who regned
thereafter seventy-five years
There is a class of sophisticated Japanese, with
critical knowledge of their countrys history who
agree with Occidental scholars in finding the first
thousand years of this remarkable lineage shrouded
in mpenetrabe mist. But from the fifth century
of the present the history of the japanese
imperial family's unbroken line is unimpeachabe;
so this newborn scion of a hundred serene majes-
ties less, is not only the latest and most
important offshoot of the worlds oldest reigning
dynasty, but he probably has the longest clearly
established genealogy of all living mortas except
that of the descendants of Confucius.
There very long period within the au-
thentic history of Japan, extending from the time
when there still heather kings in England
down to the close OF our own Civil War during
which the Mikados of Dali Nippon enjoyed much
more sanctity than administrative power. Early in
devoutedly attached to Buddhism that it was the
fashion for emperors to abdicate early in their
careers in favor of their minor heirs and to give
their maturity to religious contemplation. In the
year $40 A. D. the Fujiwara family established the
system of hereditary regences in the name of the
divinely descended Mkados and held it for four
centuries, losing it in the eleventh century to the
Tara clan which lost it in turn to the Nina
motos, who established the Shogunate in 1190 A. D.
In 1867 the fifteenth and last of the Tokogawa
Shoguns surrendered his power to the Emperor
and abolished his office that, in the face of
Occidental pressure, authority could be concen-
trated in the hands of the Mikado to whom all the
mutually suspicious and hostile clans were bound
by religious loyalty that invioable. The
traditions and principles which bound the aristo-
Gratis and the Samurai to this oldest and most
sacred Japanese family binding today upon all
Japanese of all classes and they not only give the
Japanese nation a family solidarity that is without
parrelle elsewhere, but they endow the Emperor
with real authority to which no other living
ruler of a first class power aspres in his dreams.
The Importance of male heir to all this power,
dignity and sanctiy is beyond the conception of any
Occidental people; and so, therefore, is the salts
faction which the Japanese are deriving from Fri
days happy event.

"SLIM' WILLIAMS AT THE FAIR.

The Alaska Exhibit at the Century of Progress
Exposition at Chicago, in the opinion of most of
those qualified to pass judgment was not anything
to write home about. During the early weeks even
the attendants didn't seem to have taken more than
a nominal amount of interest in it. Several Alas
kans returning from visit to the exposition,
complained that they not even able to get into
the imitation log cabin that houses the Territorys
exhibit.
During the later months of the fair, there seems
to have been marked change for the better. The
main reason for that seems to have been in the
person of Clyde c. (Slim) Williams Copper Center
resident who drove dog team and basket sled from
his home to Chicago and made his headquarters
at the Alaska building. slim" not only captivated
Mrs Herber Hoover, he won the attention OF Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, and thousands of lesser per-
sonages. He to have made such good job
of it that he invited by Mrs Roosevelt to visit
the White House which he has done Having no
special to grind he just talked to the Presi-
dent about the great country we have" here in
Alaska. slim" undoubtedly has been fine am
bassador He and his dogs entitled to fill a
return engagement when the Chicago exposition
resumes later this year. Some means should be
found to make it possible for him to do without
expense ana he should receive recompense
fer his services which have been of real value

by contrast with the average natural or artificial
background.
Ingenious apparatus devised for these tests
so that observers selected to represent actual and
potential motor vehicle drivers, viewed the signs
at various distances for different intervals of
time.
A distance of $50 feet found to be the
point at which there abrupt falling off in

daylight were of the 24-inch square and octagonal
shapes conforming to the standards adopted by the
American Association of State Highway Officials.
The shortest time in which the sign wording could
be read distinctly apparently was from 10 to 06
seconds.
Rejecting buttons improved the reliability OF
signs at night that 80 per cent of the observers
read the wording correctly at 200 feet when lighted

10 per cent for nonreflecting signs.

ner to get support for the petition
in the Capitol City.
Many of the large mining COM
panies OF this part of Alaska had
shown their public spirit by paying
their Territorial Tax, although it
was well understood there was no
legal way in which to force them
to, with the standing of the law
at the time.
Judge and Mrs. John F. Mallory
left on the Princess May for trip
to the States.
Libby, MCNEIL and Libby filed
articles of incorporation with Ter
ritorial Secretary Charles E. David
son. L. c. Ehle was president and

stock was placed at 100000 of
which $4,000 was paid up. Charles

THESDA IN A HOMECOM-
ING PROGRAM

Bethesda's Gospel Choir, whose
fourth Sunday programs have pro-
voked so much interest among
Bethesda people and their friends,
will be heard this Sunday in
another and it hopes an even more
interesting effort. Homecoming is
its central idea. The coming home
of all those members and friends
who have regarded this church as
their home. Home from visits away
from the city, home from wander
ing into other fields where Sun
days have been spent for any one
of a dozen reasons or for no rea-
son at all. A royal welcome awaits
all who choose to come, forgetting
the indifference, the vexations, the
disappointments, the misunder-
standings that have caused the
wandering. The old songs familiar
to all churchgoers will be sung;
songs the choir will select because
Of their appeal to those who have
listened to them many, many times.
And, in addition, short talks by
young people mostly: about Chi
cagO and the Century of Progress,
by Mrs. Jessie Shepherd; what
Kansas City churches have to
offer that we might adopt for our
church, by Mrs. Flossie Harris;
