AN AIR ROUTE TO ALASKA
lketcbikan Chronlcle)

The resolution of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce asking early establishment or a regular air mail line between Alaska and Seattle is not as Lar-fetched as il might once have seemed. Inevitably, such a route must be established.
 Unfortunately Of course. weathsr conditions along the coast are suen that flying is at many times of the year. difficult. But as time goes on, air transportation is deyising ways and means oI avoiding or combating bad weather.
 The Post Intelligeneer has aply pointed out that as lar as Alaska is concerned. aviation Is a primary means Of transportation. IL is not likely, of course, that the airplane will supplaut the boat in South eastern Alaska - but the airplane will supplant the boat wherever rapid transit Is necessary. Before that can be done, before we can have a regular and dependable air trans port service between the states and Alaska, we must nave loo per cent government cooperation in the es> tablishment of weather stations, bea- cons, landing facilities, radio com muuicatiou, and the like.
 The increased use ot the airplaEe iu Alaska Is highly significant. It is a modern means ol transportation, and il Is 10 doubt here to stay and to grow. It already has played a big part in the up-building of the in- terior, and il has contributed no iit- tie to increased activity in Ketchi- kan and Juneau. Me have seen the regular operation on schedule Uf planes between hetchikan and Ju- neau and Fairbanks, between ketch- ikan and the west coast. We cannot see any reason why regular opera tion cannot soon be instituted be- tween Seattle and hetchikan, though clearly some form Of government subsidy would be necessary to enable the transport lines to buy and equip the best planes and to establish ground radio stations for constant contact.

BILL RACE HAS NARROW
 ESCAPE ON HUNTING TRIP

ESCAPE LIN 6UHILhG 4hlP Hair breadth-from death stories will have 10 make room for another says the Fishing News which reports that Bill Race Of Ketchikan, 19-year- old son of Harry Race, whose return from a hunting trip taken this week, hi sfather says is nothing short of a miracle.
 Bill rolled almost loo feet down a steep slide bank, with a 15O-pOund deer on his back, to pause at the very brink of a 1500-ft. sheer cliff, while the deer rolled on over.
 The dangerous formation was en- countered by a hunting party coll sisting of =. H. Drury, MT. Race and his son, in the mountains where the old MOonshine mine is located. LsaI Cholmley. The peak, where his son was packing out the two-point buck he had just killed, has a sloping pla- teau running shelf-like around the mountain. Mr. Race related. At one point, however, it has been broken by a slide, and the grade is sleeper and the footing loose and insecure. Race and Drury had gone on ahead after young Bill shot his deer, and was preparing to pack it out. and when they came to this spot, made detour, to an adjoining hill.
 q was worried about Bill" Mir Race admitted, after had seen that slide, but we went on slowly down the hill. Just when 1 really be- gan to wonder about his safety, for we hadn't seen him coming, NC sighted a buck Then Drury glanced ID and There's Bill now I was busy shooting at the deer. When 1 looked, Bill had just reached some brush at the top of the slide and I supposed that he had passed the dangerous place okay. Suddenly he flopped In about five minutes he got up again and made his way out. By this time l could see that he hadn't the deer with him, so I knew that something was wrong"
 Bill says that he had almost reached safe footing carrying tue deer across, when it gave way, and he rolled. with the deer on his back, down the steep grade. It wasn't dig ging in with his cork shoes that stopped him-in fact Bill says he has no idea.just what did check n!s motion, that he just lay there on the cliffs edge until he heard the deer strike, far below-then he dug in with everything he had" His father saw him on his return ul the hill-he collapsed at the top, in a small hollow.
 The hunting party returned with one buck. Bills deer, MT. Race stat ed, was almost impossible to reeov- CT.

STABLE MONEY BILL
MAY BE FARM RIDER
Senators Predict Effort to Make
It Amendment to Crop Meas
ure in 1898.
By the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Some members of the Senate Agri-
culture Committee forecast yesterday
an effort to write the Thomas money
sterilization bill into proposed per-
manent farm legislation at the next
session of Congress
They said many. if not ma jority
of the committee members were favor
ably disposed toward the proposal of
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Okla
homa.
Before leaving the Capital, Thomas
served notice he would seek to make
such legislation a part Of any perma-
nent farm program coming before
Congress.
His bill would require the governors
of the Federal Reserve System to regu-
late the value Of money in terms of
commodities to maintain an "equi-
librium price level"
They would be required to adjust"
the value of the dollar so as to MAIN
tain the general price level equal to
the average that prevailed in 1926
This would be done by control over
currency, credits and interest rates.
Regulation of the value of the dollar,
Thomas asserted, was linked so closely
with the question of stabilized farm
prices, that it should be considered at
the same time as farm legislation. ,

IMPORTS GREATER

Trade authorities reveal the Ma
ton may buy more in foreign mar
kets than it sells during 1887, chalking
up its first unfavorable trade balance
in A years.
h With aggregate two-Way trade climb
Z. ing steadily upward, Commerce De-
partment officials recalled that imports
outstripped exports by s147,GO0,OO0
during the first half of this year.
Fall crop shipments to world mar
kets will bolster exports for the year,
they said, but these may be insufficient
to wipe out the heavy import balance
already recorded.
+, In the first half of 1886, the country's
purchases abroad exceeded sales by
only s9,50O,00O, and s43,OO0,OOO ex-
cess OF exports during the latter six
months produced favorable balance
Tor the year. Authorities pointed out
that the export balance of the last half
OF 1885 would have to be more than
trlpled this year to erase the existing
import excess
Blame Trade Policy.
Critics of the administrations re-
ciprocal trade program have contended
1t Is responsible for increasing imports
AZ 1aster pace than exports.
Senator Capper, Republican, of
Kansas said this week he would con-
ouct grass roots campaign" against
the trade program, speaking at country
1alrs, plcnics and similar meetings in
the Midwest.
He asserted the program has the
effect of selling out the farmer for
the benefit of Eastern manufacturers,
and that it has brought a steady re-
auction IN agricultural exports.
Commerce Department officials said
that In the is trade agreements signed
with other countries the United States
mas received numerous tariff reduc-
lions on its products in return for
similar concessions. These officials
contendeo the trade agreements pro.
gram has accomplished it's purpose in
expanding tvo-way trade with other
nations.
Gold May Be Solution.
For the first six months of this wear
exports climbed s38l,4l9,00o over the
same period year ago to s1.536.38O.-
900. Imports rose s5l9,192, 900 to ST.
6s3, 7ol 900.
One effect of an unfavorable trade
balance, officials said, might be a re-
ductlon in gold shipments to this coun-
try. When a nation buys more than
1t sells abroad the balance customarilv
IS settled through the shipment of gold.
In the case of the Uniter States,
such a settlement might be effected by
releasing gold earmarked for this coun-
try abroad, thus reducing the gold
inflow.

They were retired to the recesses
of the car barn in 1912. Longer
cars, still jerky, but speedier, replaced
them, and in 1918 or 1920 the heavy
thunderers which belay the squealing
tracks today began to make their
appearance. Icicles on the motor
mans bearo were forgotten history,
but street car riding remained way
to get where one wanted to go, not
pleasure.
But the street car had its triumph
last night. Three $4,000 miracles,
their wheels and springs inlaid with
rubber, rolled from the Peace Monu-
ment to Fourteenth and Decatur

Navy Yard. Police motor cycles
escorted them. Commissioner Melvin
