Spared From Much Grief

THERE is nothing in the document about the
Il necessity of recording the at the county
seat and for all that the supreme pontif knew to
the contrary, your correspondent might have become
marrying fool, sitting for customers beside the road
like the parsons at Elkton. Md. 1t just seemed that
there wasn't enough authority in this unsolicited
mail-order appointment, and. anyway, who wants TO
be routed out at all hours of the night by lot Of
rumpots who have been out heeling around in some
roadhouse and decided that friendship has ripened
into love.
They would throw rice all the living room
and drink up all a mai-order bishops liquor and
burn holes in the furniture with their cgarets and
probably start fight and paste your correspondent
a couple for luck And there would not even be
expenses in it for your correspondent.
Another thing is that nowhere in any Of the cor
respondence does say whether the Liberal Church.
Inc is white church a Negro church. and this
is important not only to your correspondent but TO
the Rev. Archbishop Huey P. Long of Louisiana. II
your correspondent a mail-order coored clergy
man all this last year without knowing it, at least
he is uncolored again now by the decree Of the SUI
preme pontif But Archbishop Long is still in good
standing and it would be interesting to see him try
to laugh that off among his constituents in
Louisiana and Mississippi at election time
The supreme pontiff can have his mail-order
bishopric Your correspondent is no amateur,
anyway

BOULDER CITY, New,
April Shoulder Dam
is about done.
The last concrete will be
poured in May.
The electric power will
be turned on in September.
A. year from now the job
viii be finished-two years
or more ahead of schedule.
Boulder Dam has mushroomed
into being while much of the world
dozed through a depression" The
finishing touches are going on
now. This very summer you may
point your car onto a fine new
highway and roll right across the
top Of this engineering miracle of
the age.
Not one person in a thousand
has an adequate conception of
what Boulder Dam means, of what
has been done here on the Ari-
zona-Nevada boundary line, 100
miles northeast of Los Angeles
and 260 miles southwest of Salt
Lake City.
1t is a project Of superlatives:
The biggest, the highest, the
thickest, the greatest in the world,
with no exaggeration whatever.
THE most materials TO build
the largest, dam to form the
biggest artificial lake to create
the most electric power the world
ever has known.
The greatest aqueduct to carry
the most water TO the most people.
The biggest power line to carry
the most electricity from the larg-
est dynamos in the world.
You can become dizzy just list
ing the SuperlativeS at Boulder
Dam.
The sheer grandeur of the prof.
ect delights the tourist first of all.
He thrills to know that he Gowns"
so massive thing, when remind
ed that this great chunk of ce-

ing, with its allied works, $685.
100000. That's let of money.
But right away the tourist turns
cagey.
Say" he jabs his finger at some
engineer on the dam, what's all
this for, anyway? Why spend all
that money to open another big
irrigation project, when there's too
much irrigated land already?"
A S usual, Mr.. Average Citizen
n has poked right into the
heart of the matter.
The first two answers to him al
ways are negatives.
First, there is not too much ir-
rigated land already; demand for
it can not be met.
Second. Boulder Dam is not
made primarily to store water for
new irrigated area.
There are four excellent main
reasons for Boulder Dam:
l. Flood control. The Colorado
is a wild Western river in all
truth, when the mood hits it.
Once it overlooked a great Cali
fornia valley, creating an inland
sea. 1t might do that any year
again. If it did, the life and
money loss would be appalling,
because the same valley is thickly
settled now.

AERIAL DEVELOPMENT
 OUTLOOK HOPEFUL

There is reason to believe that Alaska is on the threS- hold of a great aerial deVel- opment. The request for air mail contracts is being given further weight by the action of Pacific Coast cities and it is anticipated that by the time another summer season rolls around the Post Office Department will have funds made avail able for establishing such mail service in the Terri tory. Not only will this provide a much needed ser vice to AlaskanS but it would be the means by which the Pacific Alaska AirWays would be enabled to carry on in the North on the main routes the year around instead of diScontin uing as was the case this winter.
 Then, the air field deVel- opment program for the Territory is now before the proper authorities in Wash ington and is expected to get favorable action. Sur vey was made this summer for the actual needs by com petent men and that data is now in the hands of those authorities. With public works projects being push ed throughout the country as the result of direct relief activities being discontinu- ed by the Government, it is not unreasonable to sup pose that a works program might be worked out for the North, centered around
The Nome daily nugget., 1935-12-17

the proposed air field de- Velopment program. The plans for emergency land- ing fields, expansion of pre- sent airports, radio beacons and other development along this line would touch virtually every part of the Territory and would afford an opportunity for employ ment to a large number of Alaska residents.
 Given air mail contracts and airport development, Alaska would forge ahead by leaps and bounds for it means faster transporta- ton and communication, the two great needs of the Territory, There is reason to be hopeful at this time that they are not far away. Daily Alaska Empire.

as many artifacts showing a considerable degree of culture by their makers were recovered. Most of these were objects such as lamps, utensils, tools and arroW-heads carved from granite rock and bone, and a smaller number from ivory.
 Indisputable evidence that these early inhabitants even had some surgical skill was shown by a skull recovered by Dr. Hrdlcka on which a trepanning op- eration had been perform ed; the growth of new bone structure showing that the owner had probably lived for many years after the operation. One stratum that was encountered, show ed that in the distant past the region had had a chan ge in climate covering many years during which very little rain fell, and then for some unknown reason the climate chang ed abruptly to the rainy climate that prevails today and which lower strata showed had prevailed be- fore the beginning of the arid period.

In a lecture delivered on November 18th in the Ma tional Museum at Washing ton, D. C., Dr. Ales Hrd- licka explained the pur- pose and results of the re- cent anthropological ex- plorations in Alaska. Dr. Hrdlicka has been direct ing eXcaVating at numer- ous locations in the Terri tory for several years; the work being sponsored by the National Museum und- CT the Smithsonian Institu- tion. During 1885 eXplora- tion was carried on in the vicinity of Larsen Bay on Kodiak Island.
 Dr. Hrdlicka showed that the work of the past sum- mer tended to confirm the generally accepted belief that man originally found his way to the American Continent by way of Alas ka from Asia, and the dir ect indications are that he migrated along the route of the Aleutian Islands as well as across the Boring Straits. Strata of tilth ac- cumulated through many ages were removed and searched at the site of the Kodiak Island exploration for indications of human residence. The results were gratifying to the expedition

HAVE YOU TRIED COMAX co AL :?

COMAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv- CT Island Goals Limited, producers also of the fam ous Ladysmith Coal. We brought in a sample sup ply of CONIAX COAL on the recommendation of MT. H. E. Piommer, General Manager, who visit ed Nome last summer.
 After Investigating local conditions MT. Plom- mer advised the introduction of CONIAX COAL on the ground of Economy and Efficiency. He pro- duced facts showing considerable saving compar- ed with oil burning COMAX COAL is extremely high in heating value, and because of its strong coke qualities, is long lasting. It is not recommend ed that this coal should be used except in those places where healthy draft is available, and in this regard it should not be inferred because the draft is on the fire, that the fire is burning to waste. Of course, if the heat is not required there is no purpose in exciting fierce ire but if requir ed the more of the oxygen from the atmosphere that can be consumed with the coal the better the results.

Now you have realized your

It is well you are still making
an effort to advance.
But it is foolish not to get en-

You have probably allowed
