Seattle-Juneau Air Route Needed
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

Seattle Post-Intelgencer) a%5s
 year ago it taken for granted in this region that the inauguration of regular Seattle Juneau air service for passengers express and mail was only matter of a short time
 That hope was held out both by officials of Pan American Airways who had conducted successful experimental flights with various types of equip nent, and by Postmaster General James A. Farley.
 The direct Seattle-Juneau route preferred, both by Pacific Coast having business with Alaska and by the majority of Aaskans, against any competing interior route.
 However, while we of the Puget Sound region have been waiting in the confidence that the Sesttle-Juneau service would be instituted speedily it appears that air mail already is pouring into Alaska by other routes.
 Says the Juneau, Alaska, Empire: n-
 "A good deal of air mail has been reaching Juneau by way of new route in Western Canada and the Yukon Territory Mail leaves the United States at Great Falls Mont is flown to Lethbridge and northwest to Whitehorse It is brought to Juneau by PAA Electra"
 Seattle postal officials disclaim knowledge of the reported Great Falls-Lethbridge route If it exists for air mail, they say they don't it. Con siderable Alaska bound mail originating in Seattle, however is flown from Vancouver B. C.. to White horse at which point connections available for Juneau and Fairbanks And farther east, the Fargo Winnipeg air service connects with trans Canadian lines and thence with Alaska through Whitehorse. And farther east there are still other connections
 It is thus apparent that there is plenty of oppor- tunity for passengers or mail or both to get from the United States to Alaska without passing through Seattle, the natural gateway.
 Such routes are inconvenient and numerous delays attach to their use The Empire in fact alleges that one air mail letter, from Olympia to Juneau, required eighteen days for transmission, while a succeeding letter with three-cent postage arrived in Juneau by ship within six days arriving considerably in advance of the air mail letter to which it referred
 Because heavy freight will continue to be trans ported by water, the route through Seattle will al- ways be the most convenient for general business. But if Seattle is inclined to rest upon it's oars other air routes may easily eliminate many of the present delays and build up their services. If this should result in the indefinite postponement of Seattle Alaska service, it would be highly detrimental to the best interests of both Alaska and the Puget Sound
 Clearly what is needed is prompt action the proposed Seattle-Juneau service.
 Let's find out what is delaying it.

THINGS. ALASKA NEEDS

The need of further development of aviation service for the Territory is emphasized this week by Alaskas and old Governors. In his annual report the state of the Territory, released yes terday in Washington Gov John w. Troy urges that Alaskas progress is waiting upon the install lation of further aids to aerial navigation. Today in Seattle Dr. Ernest Gruening, headed for Juneau to take the oath of office Governor remarks that delay in starting service on a regular commercial air route between Alaska and the States is costing a loss of considerable commerce to both ends of the line
 Sowness of the institution of Seattle-Juneau air service is of those slips twixt cup and lip which hard to explain. Complete performance tests the proposed route made by Pan Amer- the planes would be winging the route on regu- the planes would bewinging over the route regu- lar service last summer But planes and up to date there has not even been announcement of the plans of the Government and company.
 With two Governors working for the same thing, should results shortly
 Another reeonlnendation sin Governor. Troy's report is that full Territorial status be conferred upon Alaska This would give the people of the Territory virtual sovereignty their affairs, with the Federal Government exercising no more control than it does in the States. Democracy will to Alaska day. The Governor urges that the day be hastened
 Important among Governor Troys recommenda- tons is that radiotelephone network linking every hamlet in the Territory be established to make of vast Alaska coordinated unit for attending the needs of it's people Major Edwards of the U. s. Signal Corps is sympathetic to this aim and has urged that restrictions guarding the air channels be relaxed in order speed institution of the service Some headway is being made toward accomplishment of this goal.
 In country new, vast and undeveloped as Alaska there opportunities for progress beckonng hundred fronts The things which Governor Troy and Governor-to-be Gruening have recom- mended however pressing needs They are first things which should be placed first

Gold Strike-But No Rush
(New York TimeS)

(New York Times)
 News from Dahlonega, Ga, adds footnote per haps paragraph in the text to the coorfu history of American gold mining. It is 90 years since Sam Brannan galoped up Market Street San Fran cisco, waving a small buckskn bag and shouting, "Gold Gold from the American Ryerl" It is more than 80 years since footloose thousands thrown out of work by the depression of 1857 heard that gold had been discovered iii Colorado The first years pickings were lean. Then the rich placer finds at Jack sons Dggings and Gregorys Diggings Clear Creek. One item of interest today appears in accounts of these discoveries This that the first lucky miners came from the State of Georgia and included some Cherokee Indians These had learned and practiced their trade in the neighborhood of Dahonega.
 Thus history completes of its minor cycles. The gold of Dahonega probably first unearthed in the late Eighteen Twentes It precipitated the first American gold rush which had most of the character istcs of all the later including fighting gambling, drinking and trouble with the previous inhabitants in this the peaceful progressive and law-abidng Cherokees Gold miners from Georgia went west to California doubled back to Nevada and Colorado into the Black Hills probably to be found in the Klondike and perhaps occasionally in the Rand in South Africa Their spiritual if not lneal descendants are riding planes instead of driving burros into the mining regions of Canada
 If the quartz vein reported from the Calhoun Mine, near Dahlonega really assays $60,000 ton as is stated it will make the Comstock the Mother Lode of California look sick. Estimates of ld-pearng veins can generally stand some discounting even before they appear in a prospectus. Gold has been profitaby extracted by modern methods when the ore had content of only three four dollars ton possibly even less in some cases
 There will be no rush to Dahlonega, for the gold bearing land is already staked out. There may be a little furry of god-edged gold-mine stock which the investor hopes, will examine with before buy ing. And meanwhile, against the sky one sees again the covered wagons rolling the patient burros bearing their burdens Marshall, Gregory Jackson straight he SUyf in desert regions that when yellow grains seen in sand or quartz It has been doubted that gold ever paid back to mankind what it cost-but what pageant it has furnished!

Thanksgiving s0bservedin in
 Many Stafes

CHICAGO. Ill, Dec. 1-Abour half of the United States prepared turkey dinners Thursday for the Thanksgiving feast. The site of the first Thanksgiving, Plymouth, Mass. gave special emphasis to the observance because half of the na- tion had observed the holiday a week earlier, in accordance with President Roosevelt's proclamation
 The President proclaimed the earl fer date in order to widen the spread between turkey day and the Christ mas holidays.
 Many States followed the example of Plymouth and refused to change the holiday date At least three States decided to observe both the holidays. Many individuals in all States made the Thanksgiving dis pute an occasion for holding two celebrations.

M O D E R N ETIQUETTE E
 q
 By Roberta Lee

@. When a person with whom one is talking miSpronounces a word, is it all right to use the same word a minute later and pronounce it correctly?
 A. No. Unless the person is very stupid it is obvious to him that yc$ are making a correction. It is much better to avoid using that particu- lar word
 @. When the secretary of busi- ness man asks caller to please state his business with her employer, should the caller comply?
 A. Yes, because the secretary has no doubt been instructed to ask this question. When refused, the majority of employers, if busy, will ignore the caller.
 Q. What does it indicate when a man, leaving the dinner table, leaves his napkin in his chair?
 A. It would seem to indicate that this man is from the timber lands.
