OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND Delegate from Alaska
 (By J. J. ECKLES)
March ', 1886.

March ', 1886.
 Following the assignment of negotiations for the To cation and construction of the Pacific-Yuk Highway with the Canadian Govern ment to the Secretary of State by the President, last week delegate Dimond and twenty-three members of the House, most of whom are representing directly in terested western states, sent a letter to the Secre- ary pointing out the econo- mic importance of the pro- posed highway and urging the fulfillment of the nec- essary negotiations at as early a time as possible.
 Senators Bone and Sch ellenbach of Washington, and Senator McNary of Ore gon, have also requested the Secretary of State to take all practicable steps to speed the negotiations.
 The letter to Secretary Hull is as follows:
 Honorable Cordell Hull,
 Secretary of State,
 Washington, D. C.
 Dear MT. Secretary:
 On August 26, 1855. the Presi- dent approved an Act of Cong reSs relative to the proposed sur vey, location and construction of a highway to connect the north western part of the United Stat es with British Columbia, Yukon Territory and the Territory of Alaska. Copy of the Act is hereto attached.
 The construction of this high way is of much moment to the economic development not only of the Territory of Alaska, Yuk- or Territory and British Colum- bia but also to the several states and particularly to all of the states of the Pacific Coast region. The building of the road would make the Territory of Alaska really accessible to the people of the United States. In this day of increasing transportation and travel by motor cars, it is scarce ly too much to say that the con- struction of such highway ranks in importance with the building of one of the great railroads in a former generation.
 We are informed that the duty imposed by the Act of negotiat- ing with the Canadian authori- ties in an endeavor to work out a plan for the construction of the highway has been assigned to

AIR STREAMS GONE WRONG
KEEP RAIN FROM FAILING

The heavenly set-up this summer
has been all wrong for adequate rain
fall between the Rocky and Appa-
lachian Mountains, according to c.
L. Mitchell, forecaster for the Wash
ington, D. c., district of the Weather
Bureau. From the first of June till
the latter part of July the air streams
that make weather persistently fol-
lowed abnormal paths. Unchecked
by polar air, great current OF
tropical air went round and round
in a vast irregular circle-up the
western part of the Great Plains and
the Rocky Mountain and plateau
regions, across southern Canada,
down the eastern part of the central
valley region, and back across the
continent.
There was no lack of moisture
aloft, Mr.. Mitchell says, but the ma
chinery for squeezing it out was
lacking. Nature produces rain by
bringing together two air Masses
cold mass and warm, moist mass.
When the two opposing masses meet,
the wan air is forced up over the
cold, denser air. The warm air is
soon cooled to a point at which it
can no longer hold all it's moisture,
To keep the United States cool and
moist, cold air masses ('highs")
must either come down from Canada
or they must come in from the north
Pacific Ocean. This year the highs"
have been in the south and the
flows" in the north-a situation that
makes normal summer weather i'm
possible.
Mr.. Mitchell ascribes the summers
unusually high temperatures, in
large part at least, to the failure of
high" from the north Pacific to
move often enough inland over
Washington and Oregon and thence
eastward over Montana, Wyoming,
and the Dakotas. These polar air
masses from the Pacific effectually
interrupt the northward movement
of tropical air over the western half
of the United States, and, If they
occur at least once every days, pre-
vent the development of heat wave
over northern areas west of the Mis-
sissippi River.

SET FIRE TO ABERDEEN SCHOOL

w. A. worker of Aberdeen, was
charged with arson after Sheriff
Granville c. Boyle, of Hartford
county, said he confessed starting
five fires in a school building in an
effort to obtain the janitor's job.
Markline, employed in the build
ing of an annex to the school there,
was arrested by officers who investi-
gated the fires. Damage done by
them was from $4,000 to $4,000.
In his confession Markline said: Il

ing to his business. I was hoping
they would discharge him and

SAFETY RESPONSIBILITY LAWS

Twenty-seven states, the District
of Columbia, Hawaii and eight
Canadian provinces now have safety
responsibility laws similar to the
financial responsibility statute in this
state, according to compilation pre-
pared by the Keystone Automobile
Club of Maryland. Massachusetts
continues as the only state with
compulsory liability insurance law.
The movement was begun in 1928,
and it is considered likely that with
in the next few years every state will
be in line. More and more the
weapon of license revocation is being
used to deny the driving privilege to
those who fail to pay judgments fol-
lowing accidents, or who have been
convicted of serious offenses against
the motor laws. Reciprocal action
between the states has been found a
powerful deterrent, many motorists
learning to their sorrow that their
own state is quick to revoke opera
tors licenses for offenses committed
in other states.
Garrison P. Knox, Manager of the
Club, made public the following list
of financial responsibility states:
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland. Virginia, West
Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North
and South Dakota, Colorado, Ari-
iona, California and Oregon.

DON'T RISK LIVES OF SCHOOL
CHILDREN

In few days, the nations schools
will open for the fall term. And
this places one vast responsibility
upon the shoulders of school board
trustees and members: To make our
institutions of learning safe from
fire. Some of the worst conflagra-
tions in our history have occurred in
schools, blotting out the lives of
scores and even hundreds of children
at one time.
In many schools that are thought
of as modern there are too few exits,
stairways are badly constructed,
doors open inward Tin spite of the
fact that this is one of the worst of
all hazards), heating equipment is
faulty. In others fire drills are not
carried out periodically. So it goes,
down a long list of hazards.
The National Board of Fire Under
writers has prepared a compre-
hensive form making it possible for
officials to thoroughly check school
buildings and unearth hazards.
The nations parents should make
their voices felt, and insist that the
lives of their children be given the
utmost protection while at school.

DIRECT RELIEF In STATE

For every six persons who were on
relief in Maryland when the situa-
ton became acute enough for the
Federal Government to take hand
back in April, 1898, only one is on
the rolls today
Samuel E. Shannahan, chairman
of the Board of Safe Aid and Chart
ties, announced Maryland's direct
relief load on August Z had dropped
to the all-time low of 4,427 cases
each case representing family
group or single person without de-
pendents.
In April, 1888, when, under Fed
eral auspices, Maryland's emergency
relief program was inaugurated, 49,
666 cases were ON the rolls. In
April, 1884, the peak load was reach
ed, with 64,876 cases under care.
By August, 1887, the records
show, the total had been reduced to
34,525 cases-but even that was al
most eight times the number made
public for the current month.
Mr.. Shannahan, in announcing the
figure emphasized that it did not in
clude the large number of relief
rases that have been absorbed by
other programs-such as the Works
Progress Administration, the Public
Works Administration and the So
cial Security Boards old-age assist
ance and aid-to-dependent-children
plans.
But" he added, "the trend in re-
lief needs is definitely lower all the
time"
Of the 4,427 cases under care in
the State, he said, 3,467 were in Bal
timore city and $50 in the counties.
Allegany, with ISL cases on its
rolls, had a heavier load than any of
he other counties, while Montgom-
ery's figure was the lowest one
Caroline county had only nine cases.
and Talbot fourteen.

TWO DRY MONTHS-TWO YEARS
TO RECOVER

The drought overshadows every
thing else as it did in 1884. What
was merely threat month or so
ago is now grim reality. The deva-
station has gone on from wheat to
potatoes and other food crops and to
the feed crops-corn, oats, pastures,
and ranges. Thousands of acres Of
new seeding have been killed, the
effect of which will not be apparent
the long-drawn effect of drought
working itself out through the ami
NAL Industries. There is not going
to be any acute shortage of food
stuffs. Where the farmers and ulti-
mately the whole community are go
ing to feel the pinch is in the re-
duced supply of pork, beef, chicken,
and dairy products. And not so
much this season as next. There is
better supply of hay and roughage
than in 1894. But grain is short.
The increase that has been going for
ward in hogs will be checked and
possibly reversed. 1t probably means
fewer pigs in 1887 than this year.
The cattle industry will be hit much
the same way-an increasing tend
ency reversed and presumably fewer

deceptive thing about such liquida-
ton is that for the moment more
meat than usual will come to market
but that vast reservoir of animals
representing crops of two or three
years stored on the hog is being de-
pleted Aside from this livestock
aftermath, the immediate effects of
the drought are most striking in the
short wheat crop, short potato crop,
reduced supplies and higher prices of
milk, butter, fresh vegetables, and
fruits. Only the far West has large
ly escaped the devastation. 1t, for
tunately, had good crops and a good
market for them. Meanwhile, the
farmers of the prairies are Tightening
their belts to get through to next
spring as best they can. And farm
ers throughout much of the territory
from the Rockies to, the Atlantic
must make such shift and retrench-
ment as will meet the added costs of
production and carry their crop and
animal units along to better sea-
son. The wages of farm hired help,
averaging the country as a whole,
have gone up 20 per cent in two
years, although that is approximate
ly in line with the percentage in
crease in gross farm income.

FARM ACCOUNTING
REVEALS LESSONS
Principles of Sound Business
Management That Apply
to All Farms

An analysis made Of detailed records
kept by a group of Wisconsin farms
revealed several important lessons and
the principles of sound business man
agement derived from them apply
equally we'll to other farms, says an
article in the Bulletin of the Agricul
tural Commission of the American
Bankers Association. The article says:
Investment costs. including inter
est, depreciation, repairs, taxes and in.
surance. are approximately two-thirds
of all farm costs. Furthermore, these
costs are largely Independent of the
production program of the farm.
This means that If farmer cuts
his production of crops or livestock,
he increases his investment costs per
unit of product produced, as a smaller
number of units must then carry as
large an expense load as before. This
illustrates the Importance, from the
standpoint of costs, Of operating a
farm at or near capacity.
Investment mistakes are more cost
ly than many others because they can
not easily be corrected. If q farmer
pays too much for his farm, his invest
ment costs will be abnormally high as
long as he owns 1t. If he constructs
$4,000 barn. when a $4,000 barn would
have served his purpose, he will have
excessive barn costs, year after year.
during the entire service life of the
structure.
This emphasizes the Importance of
a knowledge of investment values and
the specific investment requirements
Of individual farms.
Determining Real or False Economies
''In working for greater economy. il
is essential that the farm manager be
able to distinguish between a real and
false saving. This can be done only
through careful estimate of the con
tribution to income, over period OF
lime. of each item of expenditure. Only
If more is saved in expense than will
be lost in income, can contemplated
cut in expense be designated as real
saving.
For example, dropping dairy herd
Improvement work may result in
yearly expense reduction. The ques
ton to decide is what effect the drop
ping of this work will have on thu
present and future income from tn
dairy herd. If the estimated loss in live

aiency in feeding and breeding

would obviously be false econom!
Substantial savings can be effecte'
IN many farms through the use o
more home grown garden produce anc

for products of this kind that can b,
produced much cheaper at home? Thu
money saved from the family food
budget can be used for the purchase OF
many things that will make the farm
