MODERN WOMEN AWE MINER
IN TOWN FIRST TIME So YEARS

u never saw women that look
ike these women" A. H. Creecy,
Spanish American War veteran, said
last week in Fairbanks, as he
watched modernly dressed women
passing by on the streets. Mr.. Cree
cy, who has been prospecting in the
Endicott Range and who works an
open-eut mine in the Kuskokwim,
came to Fairbanks by airplane
from Wiseman for medical treat
ment.
The city life of Fairbanks aston
ished him. He says that he imagined
there was nothing here but the
Fairbanks Exploration Company.
Mr.. Creecy last saw Fairbanks in
1900 when he was 25 years old,
just before he went into the Kus-
kokwim. He left here then because
he did not think there were any
good prospects in that section of the
country.
What particularly interests him
after the marvellous galaxy of hand
some matrons and pretty maids. are
automobiles, which he is seeing for
the first time Calling them "por-
cupines," he said:
I can't figure out which is the
front end of them and which way
they are going to go Fairbanks is
as big a city as I want to see" he
continued. Pm surprised at the tall
buildings and wide, solid streets. 3"
He is enjoying his first fresh
fruit in 80 years. In speaking of
the Kuskokwim, he declared
There's lots of gold there. What
the country needs Is prospectors
The young fellows going into there
now are looking for employment in
mines and don't want to prospect. 3"
well" he concluded, Z think
I'll go down to the hotel and sit in
the window and eat some fruit and
watch feminine beauty and the
'porcupines' go by"

GEORGE ANDERSON REPORTS

George Anderson, piano tuner of
Juneau, reported the following
Nome news items to the Fairbanks
News-Miner on his arrival in Fair
banks from the Seward Peninsula
camp:
Blown ashore a complete wreck.
the schooner Jewel Guard was p
victim of a recent storm at Nome.
The storm forced the mailhoat Me
teor to heaye to "a hours and the
revenue cutter North Stal had to
run to sea.
It's an i'll wind that blows no
body good and Nome beach miners
were glad to see the storm as il
meant better mining results for
them.
Natives now are mining on the
Nome beach, and two of them about
seven miles from Nome. discovered
ground running 80 cents to the
pan.
A remarkable trip by open boat

saying the return trip would be
by airplane.

First Gas Boat
Mr.. Barnes installed one of the
the boat which he named Helen
Payne after his baby daughter It
was put in commission in South
Bend, Washington, and brought to
Wrangell under its own power by
Captain Behrens, who was drowned
two years later while negotiating
Chichagof Pass in a rowboat.
There were two or three other
gasboats in Wrangell that year but
the Helen was the only one whose
engine gave a satisfactory perform
anee. The engine saw heavy service
on the Helen for 10 years, when it
was put in the tender Betty. 1t had
been removed from the Betty after
three years of service and was in
the warehouse when the cannery
burned at Lake Bay in 1925.
Trials and Tribulations
Many trials and tribulations at
tended the career of the Helen
Payne during her years of service
at the Lake Bay and MORA Sound
canneries, and then at the Scow Bay
cannery from whose ownership Mr..
Hurst took possession two years
ago. The vessel was sturdily built
and of fine craftsmanship, with
white oak ribs, Port oxford cedar
and copper fastened throughout.
F. S. Barnes. of the WrangeiI
Packing Company, said that to him
it was fitting that the Helen came
to an end in Salmon Bay, for he
had his first trip on a gasboat when
as a little fellow he went with his
father on the Helen from Lake Bay
to Salmon Bay.
Thomas Dalgity skippered the
Helen for some time and a number
of men in Wrangell during the
past "a years served in some ca
pacity aboard the vessel and have
feeling of regret that the Helen
Payne is gone.

To Close e Today

NEW YORK, July 13. UP)-The
quadrennial convention of the IN
ternational Longshoremen's associa-
ton entered it's final session today
with only a brief morning session
scheduled before adjournment.
The delegates will be guests of
Mayor LaGuardia in sail around
Manhattan Island this afternoon.
The issue of Communism, key
note of discussions at the conven-
tion, apparently was settled at yes
terday's session. The delegates au-
thorized establishment of women's

propaganda campaigns conducted
by women and college girl pickets.

telegram from Edward F.. Nc
Grady, assistant secretary of labor.
asking the lila to permit striking
longshoremen at Gulfport, Miss, to
load 2400 bales of cotton consigned
to Russia. The union chief said
he wired McGrady that the Gulf

COMPANY ppions. He suggested Nc
Grady communicate with Sen. Pat
Harrison of Mississippi and have
him prevail on the port authority
at Gulfport to permit union men to
load the cotton at the same wage
being paid to the company union.

STATE SWEET
POTATO CROP
HAS SHORTAGE

Despite the fact that California
does not grow enough potatoes for
its own use, it is compelled to ship
hundreds of carloads to other states
during the harvest season, due to
lack of adequate storage space. For
the same reason it is compelled TO
import some hundreds OF carloads
from as far off as Arkansas, Okla
homa. New Mexico, Tennessee and
Mississippi after the harvest season
here. These facts are set forth IN
a circular on the growing and han
ding of sweet potatoes in Calltor-
MIA. prepared by D. R. Porter, as
sistant professor of truck crops and
assistant olericulturist in the eX-
pertinent station of the College of
Agriculture, University Of Califor-
mia. The circular, No. SIS, may be
obtained from the College OF Agri-
culture at Berkeley, or from any
farm advisor.
California's sweet tooth could ac-
commodate many more sweet po-
tatoes, it is found as the annual
per capita consumption here is 10
pounds or thereabouts, compared
to As pounds for the country at
large. The largest acreage is in
Merced and Stanislaus counties. The
estimatAl acreage for the whole
state in 1894 was 1000 acres and
the estimated tonnage. 27,350 tons
While many growers believe the
sweet potato to be highly drought
resistant, it is subject to numerous
diseases in every stage of its prog
gress from the ground to the con-
sumer. While over 500 varieties
may be found in agricultural liter
ature, there are not more than ten
varieties of commercial importance
in the United States and not more
than five or six in California.
AS the sweet potato is native to
the tropics, it requires a long, warm
growing season The cool nights
common to coastal sections of Cali
fornia make it impractical to grow
sweet potatoes near the coast, eX-

EXPANSION Of
CREAMER|ES
DISCOURAGED

Tentative conclusions reached by
the University Of California in a
study of factors influencing butter
creamery operation in California
are expected to aid not only cream
cries but related industries as we'll.
This study deals with the efficiency
of plant operation and accounting
systems.
These factors were studied in
relation to the operation of 20
creameries in the state, manufac-
turing about 55 per cent of all the
butter made in California The
volume per creamery runs from
100000 to over 100000 pounds Of
butter annually.
The first report, dealing with
labor costs, indicates that these
costs per unit decline rapidly with
increase in volume up to an out
put of about 100000 pounds an
nually. Thereafter labor costs tend
to rise somewhat. The study in
dicates that there is no advantage,
from labor cost standpoint in
increasing the size of creameries
beyond an output of around 4,000,-
600 pounds of butter annually.
Labor costs are the most important
individual expense of manufactur-
ing butter, accounting for about
30 per cent Of all operating costs.
All important butter areas in the
state were included in the study
It was found that tht creameries
in the coast counties have the wild
est. and creameries in the San
Joaquin valley the lowest seasonal
variation Of output. Wide fluctu-
ations in output result in wide
monthly variations of operating
costs.
The authors of the study consider
that 1t is not improbable that the
of output of the larger
beyond the point OF
highest efficiency may have pre-
vented other creamerieS operating
in the same territory from expand
ing their production to point
where they can operate most eff
GENTLY"
There does not appear TO be any
justification for the erection of
additional plants in the regions
covered by this study. All regions
appear TO be adequately supplied
with plant capacity.
The report states that the con-
clusions reached are tentative and
subject to modification in later re-
ports"

."I guess I'm sort of silly" said
the red striped July Bug.
You are if you banged yourself

Mr.. Longears. Did you mean to
do it? Did you intend to hurt
yourself?"
NO" answered the funny July
Bug. Il didn't. That is I didn't

posely banged myself against your

into a June Bug"
why do you want to be a June

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
JULY BUG

Once upon a time when Uncle
Wiggily was sitting out in front of
his hollow stump bungalow, listen
ing to the merry shouts and laugh
ter of the animal children at play,
the jolly old rabbit gentleman
heard something strike the side of
the bungalow with bang.
That must be the ball Jackie
and Peetie Bow Wow are playing
with" thought Mr.. Longears. "One
of them threw it too far and it hit
the saide of my house. I'll pick it
up and throw it back to them"
But when Uncle Wiggily looked
for the ball he couldn't find it. And
as he looked toward where the two
puppy dogs we're playing he saw
they had their ball so it couldn't
have been that which hit the bun
galow.
Il wonder what it wasp" said the
rabbit gentleman, still looking
about on the ground. Perhaps it
was some one throwing stones at
me. but that wouldn't be polite and
only a Bad Chap would do it
He saw no Bad Chaps so he was
sure neither the Fox, the Wolf nor
the Bob Cat was teasing him.
Then. all of a sudden, he heard the
banging sound again and something
fell in the grass near his chair. At
the same time tiny voice said:
Ouch!
"Ouch!" ! didn't mean to bang
so hard but here I ami

flee officials see that none OF their
cold gets over into the sweltering

Firedoors prevent circulation of
cold air from one building to the

Then, there is the Internal Re
venue building. That's a new struc-
ture, too, but not quite SO new as
it's neighboring buildings of the tri-
angle. It was built before aircool-
ing got so common. Consequently it
has large windows, ample air spa
ces. Thick walls and awnings. and
plenty of electric fans. It stays
pleasant and comfortable without
any artificial devices at all.
A touch of humor was added to
the current Virgin Islands dispute
between Harold l.. Ickes, secretary
of interior, and Sen. Millard Tyd-
ings, (Dem) Maryland, with the
revelation that Tydings had been
named to a reception committee
assigned to escort Ickes to week
end gathering at jefferson Island.

invited guests, including Ickes, told
of arrangements to take yachts at

Gambling, of course, is a violation of
the law. In collecting tax from it, the
state official, not being concerned with
the exercise of police power except where
the tax is evaded, shut his eye to the
question of right or wrong and was con-
tent with getting his money.
Chief Sears is the same gentleman
who said few months ago that he did
not know the location of any houses of

1t is wonderful thing to have such
pure-nninded man at the head of the po-
lice, but it is not exactly efficiency. A
chief of police ought to be able to recog-
nlze sin and vice when it is right under
his nose, but Sears doesn't seem able to
do so. We have a very small suspicion
that he doesn't want to. but We of course.

There is no city in the country that
