 NORTHWESTERN
Presbyterian Pastor, Pion- ger Alaskan, Was
 Tour Guide

The Rev. Frederick Robert Fai- coner, a pioneer resident of Alaska and wellknown Presbyterian mls- sionary figure in this section, died early this morning b oard sthe steamer Northwestern. probably while that vessel was nearing Ju- neau on her regular call here from Seattle. He was 62 years of age and lived at Craig.
 The exact time and cause of death is not known, although pr. w. w. Council, Territorial Com missioner of Health, who examined the body at 8.30 o'clock this morn ing said the man apparently had died of natural causes" He said that he had been dead for several hours
 Dr. Council also reported that he noticed medicine which is used as a treatment for glandular dis turbances in the Rev. Falconer's stateroom, and advanced the theory that death might have been caused by accidentally taking too much of the medicine.
 Heart Trouble Blamed
 Friends of the clergyman here today said that it had been known that he had suffered from heart trouble and had been advised by physicians not to over-exert him self
 Sharing the same stateroom with the Rev. Falconer was Fred M. Kidd, Jr.. a newspaperman from Icnia, Mich. He said that he had arisen about o'clock this morn ing. Before leaving the stateroorn, he said that he heard the Rev. Falconer groan. but observed that he was asleep. He did not know of the death, he said. until told of it while ashore here several hours later.
 The body was taken to thel Charles w. Carter Morutary here, where it is being held pending word from Mrs. Falconer, who is noWl believed to be in Ketchikan. Mrs. Falconer was notified of the death by the Rev. David Waggoner, pas tor of the First Presbyterian Church here, who dispatched telegram.
 Was Tour Guide
 The Rev. Waggoner left for Skag- way on the ship to substitute for the Rev. Falconer, who was acting as tour guide for 54 members Of Christian Fellowship party. The deceased clergyman had met the party at Seattle The Rev. Wag- goner will leave the party at Ket-I chikan.
 The Rev. Falconer had colorfulI career, coming to Alaska in 1898 and settling in Cook Inlet com- munity. He came from Douglas town, N. B., Canada, where he was born on May 5, 1873.
 In 1901, he moved to Skagway. A year later, he was commissioned as a lay missionary and went to Klukwan, where he served until l 1907. During that time, he was or dained, becoming pastor on April Is, 1910. He later moved to Ket- chikan and since 1881 has been a resident of Craig.
 On July 8, 1902, he married Miss Emma Gooding. She, and seven children all living at Craig, sur vive him.

BRITAIN PLANS TO
 SPEED UP AIRWAYS
French and Dutch COnl- petition Cause of New
 Move

London (UP)--Britain is plan ming 6 great hustle on her empire air routes for the new year.
 The speed-up plans which the air ministry is working out in con- function with the postoffice and the government.subsid Impc- rial Airways include the slashing of many hours from the flying time between London and other capital cities of the empire, far reaching development of air-mail traffic between Great Britain and the Dominions, and an increase In the number of services to South Africa. A new air route to China also is contemplated.
 The intended speed-up Is . see oueI to the Melbourne air race.
 First. Hand Survey
 Sir Philip Sassoon, under secre- tary for air, who has just com pleted a first-hand survey Of Great Britain's air communications, said that the government has been working for some months on plans for developing British commercial air transport. These plans have been given an added impetus by the Melbourne race.
 Sir Philip revealed that the government Is considering increas- ing the subsidy to Imperial Air ways to enable 1t to compete at greater advantage with the fast machines being built, particularly by its Dutch and French rivals on the Far Eastern routes. The entire subsidy at present given to civil aviation in Britain amounts to about S2,3O5,O0O. It is pointed out that the United States postoffice air-mail appro riation alone amounts to more than $S1,o0o,000 annually.
 First Class Mail
 One scheme understood to be under discussion, at the present moment is that all flrst-ciass mall td the dominions, except Canada, should be conveyed by air. It is tentatively planned that the BrIt- ish postoffice would guarantee go

rent sought an ancient channel through the valley.
 Epic Battle
 Levees heretofore had been in- creased in height yearly, as the river raised its bed on deposits of yellow silt. Each June in wet years, agriculturists waged an epic battle against inundation.
 For the three purposes of water supply, flood control and power de- velopment, the federal government cooperated in making the Boulder dam possible.
 A model city costing $2,000, 900 was constructed near the site. Here, at the peak, 5,218 men were cared for. An average of 4,64S were employed in the construction work, receiving a monthly payroll of more than $700,000 through the Six Companies, Inc. contractors. Poured Million Yards After preliminary work, first concrete was placed in the dam l June>6, 1888. Seven months later a million yards had been poured. Today the project stands virtu- ally complete and construction has started on facilities to make use of the water to be impounded. .. Contracts have been let for the $6,OOO,0OO All-American canal which will bring water to the Im- perial and Coachella valleys of Call ifornia. Preliminary work has been done on the Parker diversion dam fur ther down the Colorado. from which the Metropolitan Water Dis- trict of Southern California will take a supply to feed its aqueduct at a cost of $220,000,000. 4" 25O Mile Aqueduct n
 The aqueduct, 250 miles long, will bring the Colorado river water to the cities of southern Califronia for irrigation and domestic pur- poses, ,augmenting the Owens val. lev and other supplies which will prove ineadquate for the large DO. tential population. Crews are at work boring tunnels and laying the great pipes of the aqueduct. Con- struction of the worlds largest transmission line, to carry. power from the dam to Las Angeles, has begun. The power line will be 270 miles long, carried on steel towers as high as IA feet, and will use 1928 miles of copper tubing.
 The Colorado has been tanned. and shortly will be harnessed and put to work.

 Boulder City, Nev-CUP)-The temperamental Colorado. racing towards the sea unchecked through long ages, will feel the curbing hand of man withint wo months. when, two and one-half years ahead of schedule, storage of water behind Boulder dam will begin.
 The $49,oo0, 900 structure stands 92 per cent complete today, with all records for this type of con- struction shattered.
 More than three million cubic yards of concrete have been main to be placed.
 This January the waters will be- gin to back up against the gigantic wall across Black Canyon. By next autumn sufficient water will have been impounded to start the gen. eration of electric power. ,. As the winter rains and snow from the western Hanks of the Rockies and the domain from Col orado to hte coastal area are cap- tured in the accretion of the next few years, & vast lake will be cre- ated.
 When full, 100000 acre feet of water--sufficient to cover the en- tire state of Connecticut to a depth of 10 feet-will lie back of the dam. The lower canyon of the Colorado and some 145,000 acres, or 227 square miles will be sub merged. The lake will be 115 miles long, will range in width from a few hundred feet to eight miles. and will be 584 feet deep at the dam.
 Held By Dam
 The vast pressure of this arti- ficial sea will be held safely behind the dam, rearing 727 feet above bedrock, 1,1,80 feet wide, 45 feet thick at the top and $50 feet thick at the bottom.
 Power for the industries of southern California and Arizona, and water for 0 potential popula- ton of 10,000,000 in the Los An geles metropolitan area will be provided. :.

BRAZIL LOOKS TO
 UPTURN FOR 1895
Gain in World Coffee De- mand to Aid Country;
 Cotton Exports Up
By GEsFORD FINE led peeaa Stan COrPesDOndent


 Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (UP)- Prospects of good demand for Bra gillian coffee on foreign markets combined with improved statisti- cal position of the commodity probably was the most important factor contributing to optimism in 1894.
 In spite of a fall in coffee prices during the latter half of the year, business men maintained the out look for business in Brazil was en. couraging owing to indications that the coffee industry, with which Brazil's economic position is so closely related, would have returned to normal by the end of 1895.
 In the second half of 1884, after Brazil had returned to 8 copstitu- tional regime, the federal govern ment set machinery in motion to aid Brazll's foreign trade and open markets for her produce abroad.
 According to figures available for the first 8 months of 1884, crease of approximately 5h per CeHI oNeE IHOSo VI Iue CVTTeSpOHu- ing period of 1893. Imports dropped slightly. Cotton exports rose from $3S3,000 from January to August in 1883, to $17,844,O00 during the same period this year. Exports of minerals generally dropped, in the case of manganese ore about 85 per cent. Coffee ex- ports were slightly lower, but they commanded, on the average, a higher price.
