 Noonan was one of the color ful characters in Alaska. Before coming to the Territory he was a captain cf the Texas Rangers, and as a member of that organiza ton fought the Indians in the ear ly days on the plains. He is credited with having been one of the last surviving Buffalo Bill scouts. He came to Alaska orig inally at the time the White Pass railroad was built. From 1922 to 1882 he was connected with the Copper River and Northwestern.

Differently phrased, then, an epoch has
expired-the era in which trade was not
overorganized, in which people were not
overregimented, in which civilization and
its patterns Of life were not overmechan-
ized. 1t was the age of the horse and
buggy, and, in the judgment of some
great leaders of the multitudes, "it was
not good enough"

Lower Gas Rates.

It is. of course, too early 10 forecast
the success OF the sliding scale method
OF fixing gas rates on the basis of the
first six months of operation. Success
OF the plan can only be adjudged after
several years of experiment. But it is
gratifying to everybody that the first six
months of operation has brought re-
duCtion in rates. approXimating $4,000,
and that one of the great advantages of
the plan has been demonstrated. That
advantage lies in the agreement on re-
duction Of rates by application Of a for
mula, with consequent absence of bick-
ering over the extent of the reduction or
its reasonableness. The only argument
in this first reduction of rates was in
application of the reduction and the
choice of the consumers to be principally
benefited.
Final agreement was that the reduc-
ton should be applied principally to
those consumers who now use the great
est amount of gas, the commercial con-
ization Of gas for other purposes than
cooking increases their consumption.
The decision was probably fair. 1t was
pointed out, in the first place, that mini
mum rates for domestic gas in Washing
ton are relatively low in comparison with
rates for similar gas elsewhere. In the
second place, the earnings of the COM
pany-which are divided with consum-
ers under the sliding scale system-will
be increased with the increased con-
sumption of gas, and the rates are de-
signed to encourage greater consump-
ton. Finally, the gas company is in
active competition with the power COM
pany, and the new rates are helpful in
this competition.
The agreement on use of the sliding
scale method was reached last December,
and public which had been repeatedly
benefited through similar method ap-
piled to rates for electricity was enthusi-
astic over its adoption. AS Peoples
Counsel Roberts has pointed out, the
plan has tremendous advantages both to
the company and to the consuming pub
lie, but remains another tool of regu-
lation" that can only be applied by prac-
ticed hands. If its application is marked
by anything approaching the success of
the agreement with the Potomac Electric
Power Co. its preservation is assured.
Mr. Roberts was instrumental in the
perfection of the gas company sliding
scale arrangement. Why cannot some
thing similar be worked out for the regu-
lation of fares on WashingtonS street
cars and busses under the new, merged
management? There may be insur-
mountable obstacles, but some sliding
scale arrangement with the traction lines
is eminently desirable to the continued
controversies which have marked nearly
every change of fares.

of the Government to share in this
work, and the task of recommending to
what extent it should pay for the pro-
tective measures was assigned the new
board.
This question will loom large to thou
sands of Washingtonians at this time,
as they go to, or return from, the popular
watering places in Maryland and New
Jersey. The question of the diminishing
beach at such a resort as Ocean City,
Md, for instance, has long occupied
attention, not only of residents, but of
all those part-time residents who have
enjoyed its facilities over many years.
This particular beach has seemed lost
a score of times during the past 80
years, as great storms swept in and
rolled back to the narrow bay behind
it. The result was the building of pile
breakwaters along the beach, which
structures have added nothing to the
appearance of the place. 1t is well known
to residents and visitors how severely the
beach Is cut back at every great storm.
1t would seem that some real planning
would have to take the place of simple
pile driving, which, after all, constitutes
an emergency measure only.
The shifting character of sand makes
this a peculiar problem. Forms of ami
NAL and plant life which have survived
at our seashoreS have been compelled to
adapt themselves over hundreds of years
to this strange medium in which they
live. 1t is evident that man, the SUI
preme animal, if he is to keep his sandy
beaches, will have to do something more
than drive row of ugly and makeshift
piles half way between the breakers
and the boardwalkS.

Fulton Fish Market.

The Fulton Fish Market, for sixty
six years a famous landmark of New
YorkS lower East Side, has collapsed.
Such a denouement, of course, may
seem incredible, until one remembers
"the wonderful one-hoss shay" Time
does things of that kind. Whole civiliza-
tions, it is supposed from examination
of their remains, have been destroyed by
nothing more than age. Indeed, Ger
tain self-convinced prophets every now
and again announce that the entire cos
mic system is fated to dissolve into dust
and ashes in the end.
But the Fulton Fish Market will not
have perished utterly while men re-
member its connection with the career
of Alfred E. Smith. 1t was in a COM
mission house within its walls that the
boy who was destined to work his way
"up from the city streets" to the Gov
ernor's mansion at Albany was employed
at the reasonably good wages of twelve
dollars a week. The future Democratic
nominee for the presidency, according
to Norman Hapgood and Henry Mos
kowitz, was "a combination salesman
and assistant bookkeeper for John Fee
ney & Co." He reported for duty at
four o'clock in the morning and toiled
until four o'clock in the afternoon-an
actor in a busy, if undistinguished,
scene.
In 1892 there was distributed from the
Fulton Fish Market more sea food than
from any other point in the world" AS re-
Gently as 1927 "it still was the largest
receiving and distributing point outside

I thought if I should ever parted be
From one 1 hold most dear that
would die;
And yet this very thing has come to me
And I am living OIL scarce know
why.
Perhaps a buoyant hope outweighs the
pain
Belief my own will come to me again.
For man is ever buoyed up by hope:
To light ahead instinctively he clings.
Were it not so think he could not cope
With the dark shadows that life's twi-
light brings.
Though black abysseS in the night may

He knows who waits will surely see the
