NOW FOR STREET
 PAVEMENTS
(Fairbanks News -Miner)


 The Fairbanks city council has risen promptly to the opportun- ity to have the principal business streets of Fairbanks paved
 The way has been opened by the federal grant of 45 per cent of the costs, and now the tax payers of Fairbanks are 10 vote on July 28 on the paving proposi- ton.
 It is necessary that the voters get the idea clearly in their minds that the local costs are to be aS- sessed only against owners abutt ing the improvements. This is fair enough.
 Many business houses are an- nually paying out more money fighting the clouds of dust and dirt than the paving would cost. Damage to stocks of goods-to say nothing of damage 10 health also justifies the improvements.
 Fairbanks must get away from the present dirty, dusty condi- tions in her business section. Now that she can get the pave ments by paying only 55 per cent of the total coSt,the logical course is to accept. If turned down now it is morally certain the oppor- tunity never will come again.

The M. s. Meteor returned 10 Nome Wednesday afternoon from its southern mail cruise. In ad- dition to. the regular cruise to St. Michael, the vessel made a spec ial trip to Hooper Bay, Nelson Island, and Nunivak Island. Late Wednesday evening she weighed anchor again, bound for Kotze- hue on the regular northern trip.
 Passengers on the recent trip included MT. King from Nome to Hooper Bay; Mir. and Mrs. Lawrence Palmer, field research workers for the Biological Sur vey. from St. Michael to Nuni- yak Island and MT. Chas. Trae- ger of Unalakleet 10 Nome.
 No passengers were carried on the trip north to Kotzebue.

 When a tourist steps off the boat, he is left to shift for him. self. More often than not the information he gets is inaccurate.
 Florida handles the tourists business better than any other State We have been in. He is met at the borders of each coun- ty by a presentable young miss, in a booth by the roadside, who, after ling the tourist with free orange and grapefruit juice, finds him easier to fill with informa- tion. And these attendants have answers for every question. They do not attempt to influence the visitor, but allow him to make his own decisions.
 Alaskans should adopt the same attitude. Knocking other towns will not impress a visitor. Give him the facts about our own sec tion and boost for other sections if he is not convinced.
 Editors Note-What is Nome doing to entertain and show our visitors and tourists the many advantages of this section of AL aska-Practically nothing in the way of concerted action. It is true that we individually take under our wing some of the visit ors and individually try to show them the high spots. But this is not enough. The Chamber of Commerce has been endeavoring to get out some sort of uptodate publicity matter for the past several yearS-One committee passes the buck to another and nothing Is accomplished-the re- suit is that the burden of show ing our visitors what we have and the problem of keeping them interested, has fallen on individ- ual shoulders. We have no up- todate and interesting publica- tion matter to place in their will ing hands, and it is about time something or somebody made move in the Chamber of Con- merce to do something but ped dle the bull at luncheons. Get some literature printed so that our visitors can take it away with them and absorb it with their friends upon their return You will find that the next sea- son and the following season, the results will be multiplied by the number of new and prospect visitors and community seekers will more than double and in the end help build up Alaska, the last frontier"

Big Decline in Nashville.
The greatest decline was In Nash

Columbus, Ohio, showed . 5.6 per cent
drop on the same basis. In Harris

In jackson, Miss, on the other hand,
a ~ per cent increase was reported,

In Wilmington, Del, labor costs rose

Orleans costs, which have been in

Now these window units are must"
for the canny planner of a home.
We saw some good examples of the
compact, sturdy, inexpensive case
ment window at an exhibition Of
lumber products recently. 1t came
complete with Misunderstanding that
sealed SO tightly you wouldn't feel
chill drafts blowing in around cor
ners, in either swinging-in or swing
ing-out models. Yet the by 3 foot
size cost only about $40 a window
complete, save for inside trim! OF
course, it comes ready made in other
sizes, 2 by 4. 2 by S. by 3, 3 by 4
and 3 by S, to suit any size room you
have.
If you ever have the misfortune to
live through the winter with windows
that don't close quite tightly, and that
accumulate hoar frost on their edges,
you will realize what boon pre-
weather-stripped easements are. Not
to mention winter freedom from drafts
and summer freedom from sticking
due to swelling.
These particular windows are dipped
before they are painted, which helps
them resist both termites and rot.
The Misunderstanding is Of the bronze,
self-adjusting type, with spring ten
sion that assures self-sealing.

MILLIONS LEFT
BY ONE-TIME E
DITCH-DIGGER
Immigrant Who Found
Gold Mine Dies Rich

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, March 8
NN.S)-The death of her one
time pick-swinging husband left
a Chicago manicurist the mistress
of millions today.
Tony Oklend, who succumbed
here yesterday to a lingering Ill
ness at the age of 81, was one
of those fabulous characters Of
the worlds frontiers where for
tunes are made-and loSt-by a
stroke, of luck.
GOLD MINE OWNER
He died a millionaire, probably
several times over, and the owner
of one of Canada's richest gold
mines. But only seven years ago
Tony Oklend was digging bitches
on Chicago's West Side, an IL
iterate Russian immigrant.
Losing his job in the depres-
sion, Oklend started North where
he'd heard stories of new-found
gold. He started out in a canoe
through the wilds of Northern
Ontario. While sweeping over a
rapids he fell out and came up
grasping a gold nugget the size Of
O child's fist.
That was the discovery Of the
Little Long Lac gold mine. Not
long ago he LAUNCHED at offers
of a million cash for his holdings.
He was reputed to have already
had a million in the bank. He
learned to write his name so he
could sign checks.
WEDS MANICURIST
In 1885 he found Sylvia Szar-
necki working in his sisters De-
troit beauty shop. He liked the
gold glintS in her hair. Gold was
lucky for Tony. He courted her
with diamonds and sableS. They
came back to Chicago and were
married by his old parish priest
to whom he gave that first mug
get as a keepsake.
He built Sylvia a show place
overlooking Lake Ontario. He
had his private airplane, a yacht
and 20 gardeners on the grounds.
