WE MUST DECIDE

These are questions that the
people of the United States must
consider and eventually dcide.
Certainly, if the people are to de-
eide by popular vote whether the
United States shall go to war, they
must be informed as to world af-
fairs, understand the rights OF
this country and the importance
of such rights, the interests of the
nation and their effect upon do
nestle welfare and numerous
other questions that arise in "for-
eign affairs.

Ground has been broken by the

a radio beacon and radio control
station, which are expected to be
finished and in operation by the
early part of November, accord
ing to II. B. Haskins, assistant
superintendent of lighthouses in
this district, which is the Sew

built for the aid of aerial naviga-

efficient types of instruments
with sufficient audibility to be
heard for a distance of 200 miles.

SECRETARY ICKEs COMING NORTH

To have one Cabinet officer visit Alaska IS an honor rarely our privilege to record but to have two Cabinet officers the same summer both of them heading departments vitally concerned with the Ter rory and it's development certainly is unprecedented the national scheme of things, the day of remote control from Washington gradually being relegated to the limbo of antquated things.
 Postmaster General James A. Farley is now paying Alaska a visit being passenger aboard the Aleutian which is due back through here Monday. Yesterday came word that Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes is to come north next month to see Alaska first hand and meet its people in person He expects to sail from Seattle August to spend nearly the entire month in the Territory. Not only do We well come Secretary Ickes as a Cabinet officer and high official of the United States government, but especi ally as the man who heads the department which has more with the affairs of the Territory than any other agency of the government-the Interior Department.
 Secretary Ickes has been consistently warm friend of Alaska Since becoming head of the Interior Department he has revealed time and time again that he has the interests of the Territory and its people at heart and has furthered its advancement at every opportunity We feel that Mir Ickes is not coming north to Sell" himself on Alaska but rather to see at first hand what be done to promote its development bringing greater population and open ing up of it's great natural resources.
 And we'd like to congratulate the Secretary bringing his bride north Alaska is truly honeymoon land Aaskans keenly anticipate their arrival. May their stay be long and pleasant one.

proclaims on the front page of its progress edition Alaska leads in fish, gold and furs." And it is quite fitting that large part of the front page be given over to a fishing scene, in which Alaskas famed salmon struggle in the nets of fishermen.
 In a special message Secretary of the h. terior Ickes says: Even a cursory review of trade figures gives evidence that Alaskan re- sources are being given a highly intensive workout considering that the country's total population at this period is only about 60000 inhabitants Of Alaska's total population only about 300O0 are white, and in the To- year period from the 1920 census to the census of 1930 the population increased only 4242, or TT percent. Juneau, the capital, had fewer than 5000 inhabitants in 1930
 Yet Alaska has an area, including the Aleutian Islands, which are strategically im- portant in the navy's plans for defense of the Pacific Coast, Hawaii and the Panama Canal, of 5864O0 square miles, which is more than twice the square-mile area of Texas Today Texas, with an area of 265,896 square miles, has a population of more than 6,OO0O0O so there is plenty of room in Alaska for the set tier and the developer although as MT Ickes says, Alaska's rich natural resources are not being neglected
 The Territory has shipped to the. United States more than $5000000O worth of fish in one year more than $20,O0O 900 worth of gold, silver and copper ore and almost $2,500000 worth of furS. Alaska presents a splendid op- portunity for conservation and long-range planning perhaps the greatest opportunity left to the American people, to whom in large measure Alaska is the Last Frontier"
 The Territory needs improved transporta- tion and more settlers These will come in time, bringing also development capital and manufactures to process Alaskas raw ma terials. It is hot like the American people to let so promising a field for industrial enter prise and colonization lie fallow at their very doors.

Cincinnati Ennuirerl

(ClHclnnau EnQuner)
 Edison had one great dream which he was unable to translate into reality He worked for years in vain to produce a storage battery which would contain enough electricity to drive motor 5000 miles His aim was battery which would weigh not more than 300 pounds. Such a battery would put every car propelled by gasoline out of business.
 That battery is still the dream of research workers. There are plenty of storage batteries but far their capacity is limited To put live electricity in botte it and to release it needed may be one of the scientific achievements of the future Sometimes men wonder if the twentieth century can ever dup- cate the marvellous inventions of the nineteenth tury That the steamboat the railroad the tele- graph, and telephone the electric light and host of others So far in this century we can boast not so much of startingly things of the perfection and development of old things the arplane automo- bile and wireless for example
 No one can put limit to mans inventive capa- city. That we have come to static time when pro- gress shall stop is unthinkable, What will be the next invention which will change the pattern of our lives, no one can say. But surely with Tennyson, regard all that have done as only an earnest of the things yet shall do.

TEXAS LOOKS AT ALASKA

Anything Alaska is news" has come to be almost universally accepted in the newspaper offices of the States But with many it is than passing news item. It is coming to be recognized that the Territory very valuable part of the United States which has wide field for development and resources to support hundreds of thousands population than it now has. That thought is brought out in recent editorial appearing in the Beaumont Texas Enterprise which was inspired we modestly state by copy of The Empires annual edition. This is what MT Alfred Jones' Editor Chief of the Enter prise has to say about it:
 Comes the 1888 Alaska Progress" edition
 of the Daily Alaska Empire, published in Ju-
 neau, to tell anew the story of Alaska's growth
 and the wealth still waiting there for Ameri-
 can business and their capital resources
 to utilize for the nations benefit Alaska is still underdeyeloped and underpopuated
 domain where there are still plenty of wide
 open spaces" but much has happened to the
 territory since Seward bought it from Russia for the American government for what would now be considered the paltry sum of $720o000
 Stewards Folly is no longer called by that opprobrious name Time and subsequent events have than justified Secretary Stewards judgment in buying Alaska at what turned out to be a bargain price, although Seward was ridiculed and good many Ameri- cans of better than average intelligence thought Alaska would be worth much to the United States.

victim of NEAR holdup" late Sat
urday night. After he had closed his
place of business and was walking to
his home at the Emma Hunt dwell

men following him and hurried his
footsteps. Just as he stepped up on

behind him, told him to put up his
hands," Homer, thinking it was two
friends trying 20 brighten him, turn
ed and asked who they were. The
men replied to never mind who, but
stick them up Homer stepped
from the porch, whereupon one of
the men fired revolver two or three
times, and then ran. AS the men
had their caps pulled down over their
faces Homer was unable to recognize
them. None of the shots struck the
intended victim, nor did the men lay
hands on Homer. There is no clue
as to their identity.
