FREEZE-UP PERIOD AND NEED
 OF AIRFIELDS

The freeze-up of the year is at hand in Alas ka. It brings this year than to attention of every Alaskan the crying need of and better air fields.
 Land and inland river means of travel and traffic between main centers and outlying points suspend ing service for eight long months.
 More business in arlneS at this period of the year than at any other save in the breakup period, when the volume is similar and handicaps under which it is handled are similar.
 Right now the annual outward movement of travel CTS and gold firm the numerous mining camps is heav iest Intrepid pilots skilled in sub-Arctc flying as are no others in the world puckily cope with the condi- tons But they subjected to unnecessary hazards because of inadequate fields and other aid to aerial navigation.
 With mining operations rapidly increasing and air traffic correspondingly increasing, the need of more and better fields and of auxiliary facilities is greater than
 Alaska never will get the sorely needed fields and other services without fghtOne round efforts will be futile
 The battle must go on. Old petitions and recom- and executive personnel necestaes keeping the facts before authorities
 The representative organizations and petitioners and other effective influences at the base of necessity must keep active More resolutions petitions and ag- taton generally are the order.
 Now is the time to press home the issue and do it with vigor.
 The Empire of Alaska must have these services Once installed they are here forever. Why not get them now-eminate the great handicaps of the build of the last ronter and speed up the production and contribution of wealth to the naton-Fairbanks News Miner.

Hurt By A Bear,
 Is Getting Better

SITKA, Dec. 3, = Titus Demi- doff, the hunter who was mauled by a brown bear several miles from Sitka about 10 days ago, is convalescing now in a hospi- tai in Sitka. In telling of the affray with the animal, Demidoff said:
 "The bear charged me as I was going over the hump of hill. He was on top of me before had a chance to use my gun. He shook me around like dog would shake a rat. He bit me in the right thigh and in the right leg as I played dead. Then he shov ed his nose in myeface. I remain ed still. Finally he went away.
 Demidoff was bleeding profuse ly and hardly abe to stand when he made his way to help.

A Nice Quiet Place

Heard in a business house "Is there any service I can rem able gentlemen sitting in a quiet spot in the store.
 None, thank you" said the sourdough.
 Some time later the proprietor spoke to the sourdough and ask ed him why he made his store a resting place.
 The sourdough replied: q have been around town looking for a nice quiet place to rest during the day, and wherever there was a store that advertised in the paper, there was too much going on and not enough quiet, so I
 finally decided to come here and sit down and rest for awhile. I see you don't advertise, and it is nice and quiet and restful here".

 And yet, the sales tax does produce revenue. Peo pie must buy. They must have things, and they are willing to be taxed in order to get what they want but it is our humble opinion, always has been, that the proper fellow to tax is the who ses-not the who buys

THE BISHOP AND THE SINNERS

AlaskanS of today must be pretty seedy lot in the opinion of Bishop Rive, who recently told New York audience that Hacked the stamina of the boys who hit the Chilkoot trail in '97.
 We honor and respect those pineers who answered the call of adventure and focked to the Klondike and Nome bonanzas and who have remained in Alaska to mould the vast resources of Alaska into an expanding empire. But how many of them here A mere handful, compared to the thirty thousand men and women who crowded the camps in the boom days.

incurred during the 1934-35
school year was announced by
Lloyd E. Griffin, executive secre-
tary. Principal items involved, he
said, are fuel, gasoline and oil
bills. Teachers, he said, had been
paid in full.
Another transfer from this fund
probably will be made to take
care of deficits of the past year.
Janitors probably will receive
4.16 per cent salary increase
during the next school year, he
said. The commission estimated
$433,OOO would go to janitors,
compared to $412,405.63 in 1885
1886 and $353,961.37 in 1884
1885.
Other items of plant operation
earmarked by the commission are:
Fuel, $43O,O00; water, lights and
power, $4,000; janitors' sup
plies, $4,000; telephones $751;
600.
The total set aside for plant
operation was $1,036,000, COM
pared to $1,O1S,465.39 in 1886
Sc and $915,924:92 in 1934-35.
Fuel estimates were $500
lower than the amount spent dur
ing the last school year because
of the unusual winter" Griffin
said. Estimates for water, light
and power were $4,000 more than
last year because of new con-
struction and additions to present
buildings.

Miss Byers, now an instructor of

State Teachers college, Fairmont,

tions of physical education few
years ago with those now held in
educational circles. Formerly, she
said, certain claims were made for
physical eduation without proof
of it's benefits, but now the in
struction is so planned and exc
cuted that it's value can largely be
determined not only while the
student is in school but also with
respect to it's influence on his
later life. Miss Byers is grad

two CHINESE
CHIEFS URGING
WAR ON JAPAN
Support Demand That Nan
king Wage War Of
Expulsion
By GEORGE w. HAWKINS
(Co,vright. 1886, United Press)

CANTON, June 10. - (UP).-
Two potent war lords yesterday
telegraphed the southwest politi-
cal council declaring their sup
port of the demand of the South
China provinces that the Central
government in Marking lead a ma
tional war to expel the japanese
army from North China.
The militarists are Marshal
Feng Yu-Hsiang, one-time Nan
king war minister, and Gen. Ma
Chan-Shan, "hero of the Nonni
river" who held up Japan's con-
quest of North Manchuria in 1881
for weeks.
The council announced that
Feng's telegram was addressed to
Chen Chi-Tang, military head of
the Canton region, and the
Kwangso province war lords, Ii
Tsung-Jen and Pei Tsung-Hsi.
Ma Chan Shan's telegram con-
cluded:
"The whole nation stands by
you"
Ma has been in retirement since
he was defeated in North Man
churia by the Japanese. Feng,
until recently. has been in refuge
in the Tai-Shan monastery in
Shantung province under protec-
ton of his former subordinate,
Gen. Han Fu-Chu, the Shantung
ruler. Feng still has a consider
able military following and might
prove a deciding factor in the
South's campaign to force Nam
king into a war against Japan.
His old personal army still IS
partly intact in areas along the
Hankow Peiping railway. Mas
troops were scattered after his
defeat by the japanese. .
The council also announced 1t
was receiving kilograms from stu
dent organizations throughout
China pledging support. The stu
dent societies want to expel the
Japanese forces and are opposed
to the civil war which South China
has threatened.

who do not intend again to sup
of those Jeffersonian Democrats
port the New Deal Democracy"
In speaking of the recent con-
vention, Mr.. MeeEns declared,
"The convention exceeded the
fondest expectations of those who
attended hoping for a united
front. The Republican party had
a painless rebirth. There never
was any doubt about the selection
of Governor Landon, the only
question at any time being the
manner of bringing it about,
whether upon the first or second
ballot. The convention spoke it's
will at the first opportunity.
"With Governor Landon and
Colonel Knox at the head of the
Republican ticket, real crusade
will be made in the campaigns.
There have been some predic-
tions that the change in the ma
tional Craftsmanship would cause
a loss of time in having the or
ganization running at full speed
again. 1t is further evidence of
the wisdom of John Hamilton,
newly elected chairman, that
Henry P. Fletcher will continue
his able services to the national
committee, in the capacity of
general counsel, which means that
the national organization will not
miss a step in going forward"
DEMONSTRATION FOR
HOOVER SPONTANEOUS
Relative to the demonstration
| given by the convention on the
| occasion of former President
Hoover's address, Mr.. Meekins
took issue with commentators who
said it was an effort on the part
of some delegates to force Mr..
| Hoover's nomination.
s"The great demonstration given
| Mr.. Hoover was purely a well-de-
served tribute for the former
president for his services to the
| party" Mr.. Meekins said. "There
was no intention on the part of
any of the delegates to force his
| nomination, nor was there any in
| tention of the convention to con-
slider Mr.. Hoover as presidential
choice. The demonstration was
spontaneous on the part of. the
| delegates and was brought about
by his great speech and by the ad-
miration held for him by the
party"
