 The report as MT.

 It may well be interpreted to mean that Alaskans as class are the greatest airplane travellers in the world in comparison with their number. But prmar

BOOSTING THE GOLD PRICE

Senator Elmer Thomas predicts another boost in the price of gold this time to S434 ounce and ex- pressed the belief it may in the future If what $3500 gold did to Alaska in revivng it's mining industry generally is criterion, another boost should brighten the North's industrial future James Woods word picture in the Seattle Times apropos He says
 During 1885 Alaska produced minerals worth
 000 an increase of $1 ,591 000 over 1884
 Despite the encouragement of higher price, the
 output of gold declined slightly. The major part
 of the gain is in copper which jumped from the
 almost unprecedented low of $9,700 in 1884, to
 $l,249,700 last year. There also were gains for
 silver lead, coal platinum metals and tin Since
 1880 Alaska has produced minerals, mainly gold to an aggregate value of S698,628 000. Mir. Sew
 ard it will be remembered, paid Russia S7 100000
 for the whole Territory.
 The fact that gold output declined is due primarily to the fact that established operators worked low grade ore bodies which they unable to work under the old price. Cheap be mined at $3500 but not at S2000 an ounce The same may hold true if there is another boost. The higher price is only incentive to boost the mining industry all along the line from the prospecor to the big operator and the record reveals it has done just that.

The Height of Something

Perhaps we have become slightly syni- cal over the Merritt Parkway, but at any rate we no longer flare up with enthu- siastic support every time we hear or read anything about progress being made on this super masterpiece of highway construction, which is supposed to offer a parallel route to the Boston Post Road across Fairfield County. But a recent editorial in the Meriden Journal strikes us, particularly in it's opening sentence, as being the height of either foresight or optimism.
 The Journal says, "The Merritt Park way, which at some far distant day may extend all the way to Meriden, is fairly under way and observers can get some idea of what a stupendous undertaking it is ." That's one way, of course, of localizing the Merritt Parkway by having it end at Meriden. The Meriden paper keeps this writer's feet on the ground by inserting the phrase "Some far distant day" We're afraid that the day when the Merritt Parkway will get to Meriden is indeed far distant
 In fact, we're almost afraid that our present mode of locomotion may be ob- solete before the Merritt Parkway gets as far as Nichols. With no disrespect for the Fairfield county people who are really interested in this highway we say that no great project in recent years has occaS- toned so much talk and fallen so flat, in our humble estimation, than this same road. When it is done it will be time to shout and eXclaim about it. But any, body who eXults today is apt to find his own words bouncing right back into his face.

One Thing After Another

Now that the flood waters of the Con- necticut River have SubSided and na- tional legislators are fighting for some form of flood control laws it's about time for something new to come forward And it has in the recent statement of Dr. M F. Morgan, chief of the Soils Depart ment of the Connecticut Agricultural EX- pertinent Station. A recent survey by Dr. Morgan and Dr. A. L. Patrick of the Soils Conservation Service of the De- partment of Agriculture revealed that in the Connecticut river valley in this state soil erosion is approaching dangerous point.
 At the present rate of erosion one of the most fertile sections of the state in few more years will be reduced to drab and barren existence. Steps should be taken now to correct the situation, com ments Dr. Morgan. He estimates that fully 100000 acres are in danger of be- coming so badly eroded by normal rain fall and wind that they will be of no value for crops production. This is partly due to the reduction in tobacco production on these acres, he further points out.
 When tobacco was being raised there, a cover crop would follow. Now the land is extensively given over to potato rais- ing with no cover crop and late harvest. As result autumn and winter rains are raising havoc with the rich topsoil. Spring frosts add to the removal of good soil. When plans for saving the Connecticut river valley from floods are put to prac- tical purpose now 1t is to be hoped that the matter of soil erosion, which goes hand in hand with all such river valley developments schemes, won't be over looked.
