NEW AIRMAIL SERVICE
 IS HAILED BY NOME AS GREAT STRIDE FORWARD

Inauguration of the new air mail service between Seattle and Juneau, which provides the con- meeting link between Alaska and the States, will prove a decided boon to Nome and the Seward Peninsula section, said Russell Maynard, editor of the Nome Mug get, who arrived in Fairbanks May End enroute to the States.
 Plans for tieing in the Penin- sula area with Fairbanks and the airmail to the States have al ready had attention of members of the Nome Chamber of Com merce.
 A special committee of the Nome chamber has been named to work out arrangements for Nome to be represented at Jun eau upon receipt of the first air mail from the states said MT. Maynard. The city council of Nome has also designated per sons to carry the ambitions of the Peninsula city to tie in with the Alaska airmail that vital connecting link which has short ened distances and time between Alaska and the important cities in the states.
 MT. Maynard, in an interview, drew attention to the vital needs of the Seward Peninsula com munication service. His opinion of the value of the present Fair banks-Juneau airmail service was that it is providing an av- enue of speedy service to busi- ness and mining operators in their connections with the out side"
 The people of the Seward Pen insula avail themselves of the airmail service more fully than any other agency in maintaining contacts with the States said MT. Maynard. "The outlying sections of Nome send their mail to Nome with airmail postage, and it pro- ceeds by rapid air transit to Fair banks and Juneau. Business and mining cannot wait for outmod- ed means of transportation in this day and age,' he said.
 The people of Nome, and the Second Division are working wholeheartedly for the continual ton of airmail service from Fair banks to Nome, realizing the val uable saving in time and money, and the step-up in development.

 In and about Nome, through the use of modern bulldozers, die sel pumping units and allied equipment, small operators have turned to the working of many creeks where rich pay was taken out in the early days of the Pen insula camp. They find through the economical use of modern equipment that many of the older creeks are profitable diggings.
 AS a whole said MT. Maynard the mining industry in the Sec ond Division expects steady growth and development. In con nection with the maintaining of these many outlying sections, the airplane industry has played an important part Daily schedules to the camps and scattered areas of Seward Peninsula keep the op orators supplied with machinery and equipment of all kinds.

Nome and the Seward Peninsula, the second highest placer produc- CT of gold in Alaska is looking forward to an unusually busy sea son this summer.
 With 9 dredges in addition to the many small operators, the Second Division has been produc ing gold for many years. This sea son will see three more dredges in operation, following construc- ton periods completed last fall.
 In the Nome section proper, the U. s. Smelling Refining and Mining Company, it is reported, will continue its operation of three mammoth dredges two mil es from the city, on the old beach lines. The company is planning on the construction of another mil lion dollar dredge during the next year at Nome to operate on the Submarine paystreak two miles west of Nome where the values run at a depth of about 80 or 90 feet.
 Russell Maynard of Nome who is enroute to the States in char ge of a group of prisoners brot news of the mining development of that section when he arrived in Fairbanks May 2.
 In the Kougarok section about 75 miles north of Nome, he said gold prodcction has been stepped up in the last two years through the operations of J. J. Keenan and w. A. Castleton who operate the largest dredge in that area on the Kougarok river. In addi- ton to the dredge MT. Keenan operates a dragline which it was understood, said MT. Maynard, took out in the neighborhood of $125.O00 last year.
 Many individual miners includ ing Harvey Grant on Coffee Creek, Al Carey and John Kanari on Dahl Creek; Whaley and liar " Nelson on the Noxapaga; Geo. rge Bodis, John Larson, Otto Worm, Harold Bayne and others are actively furthering their in- terests by means of draglines, in- dividual pumping and bulldozer operations.
 Over in the Deering-Inmachuk section the Belleview Brothers, Joe and Barney have constructed new dredge with nearly l5 years work ahead. It is a new type of pontool hull construction and especially adapted to work in that section. The Forsgrens | who have been dredging on theI Inmachuk for the last 10 years have obtained a new block of ground and are branching out in l their development. The Cordo- Vado mining interests are contin uing their hydraulicing in the Deering section, with about 25 to 50 men employed.
 In the Candle section the Arc tic Circle Exploration Co.,, main- tains two dredges and draglines and has been operating steadily for the last three years. Jim Rob bins, manager of the ACE re- gently passed through Fairbanks enroute to his operations at Can de. Many individuals are work ing the adjacent creeks to Candle via the old, time-honored hydrau lie methods.
 In the Council section there are three dredges all set to go for the coming season. They are operated by the Glass family, Gene and Joe Lucas, and the North Star Dredging Co.
 In the Solomon and Haycock section three more dredges have ben turned up by the Lee Broth CTS and Wallace Porter. Their field of operations includes the Solomon river and Casadepaga, and the Dime Creek areas.

The Next President Says:

AS your nominee | expect to
conduct cruslading, aggressive
fighting campaign to bring
unity to America, to bring the
unity of labor, capital and agri-
culture and manufacturer and
farmer and worker and all class
es to this great cause of the pre-
'servation of freedom.
Democracy and our way OF
life is facing the most crucial
test it has ever faced in it's long
history, and we meet here, not
as Republicans alone, but as
Americans, to dedicate our
selves to the democratic way of
life in the United States, be-
cause here stands the last firm
untouched foot-hold of liberty
in all the world.-Willkie, at the

ton, June %, 1910.

nently we fear, for year by
year the species of insect called
the flower picker" despoils all
natural beauty he can find. In
other words there ought to be a
law. Despite this, in early days
when Mcdowell was a wilder
ness, that wilderness was largely
composed of rhododendron and
greenbrier, the "ronceverte" of
French. The rhododendron has
been eliminated from the scene
except from the way back
places. That unpleasant and
hardy plant, the greenbrier, has
not only held it's own but en-
reached on more ground. In case
the reader does not know this
plant by name a short walk i'm

acquainted. and probably have
him give it few brand new

Plenty Of Rain
u y

The question What is so rare
as a day in June?" will not be
answered by us. Reason is that
June of this year was almost a
solid sheet Of rain, not the rain
slightly "off" poets rave anent,
but the dreary prolonged rains
that make one wonder if they
will ever cease. BY some kind OF
fate the Glorious Fourth turn
out to be a really nice day-but
the Fourth is in July, and we
are speaking of June-that is
another way of saying June's
slightly damp days have ran on
into June.
We note in a contemporary
columns that the gentle June
rains actually drowned a duck
over in his territory-or did it
Anyway it has rained quite a
bit of late.

Henry Ford knows that he can
do Just what he says He can.
The. internationalists in the ad-
ministration, delightedly got a
contract ready and went to Ford.
1t is reported Ford took one look
and, flushed with anger, left.
Thee contract was for aeroplane
motors most of which were for
export to a belligerent European
nation-Engand.
Ford is perfectly willing to
do his best to arm the United
States but not Europe. In other
words he, is . patriot of the first
water. With Ford turning out
such immense quantities of war
materials with utter nonchalence
for the Allies it would not be
long before Hitler found him
self in the same position as the
small boy who sat on a yellow
jackets nest, but the United
States has no business fighting
Iother peoples wars that concern
us not the least. The argument
1--WE are next" does have some
truth in it but the proper way
to meet that menace is to arm
Yourselves first, not to strip ou1
arms off and ship them Il
Europe to nations whose Loyalty
to democracy is questionable
as in; the case of France ,whicE
crumbled SO fast under ,Hitler's
ATTACKS we were somewhat sus-
Ipicious, and in the light of news

them. Also, we fought and won

owned their debts. We need more

Henry FOrd-PatriOt

Not long ago Henry Ford
broke his usual silence and took
the breath out of the whole

ment that he could make 1000

turing. Now, anyone who knows

got about the other Republican
aspirants. 1t also is the reason
why he will be elected in Nov
ember no matter who run a.
gainst him.
In selecting Wendell Lewis
Willkie for tn Presidency and
Senator Charles L. McNary for
the vice-presidency, the Re-
publican National Convention
selected the strongest possible
ticket-a fact attested by the
widespread commentator of
the tickt in the press of the
country, both Democratic and
Republican.
The New Dealers without
doubt will undertake to smear
this ticket. Every effort will be
made to paint Mr.. Willkie as a
crature of Wall Street-as a
Public Utility magnate and at
tribute to him all the sins ever
committed in that quartz. In
deed, the New Dealers in their
fright are ven STOPPING to eff,
forts to make MIR. Willkie in
some way appear sympathetic
with Naziism.
But these efforts will fail
because such charges are UNI
true. For seven years the New
Deal has tried to besmirch and
destroy Wendell Willkie. 1t has
been through his life and
career with a fine sieve. But the
effort has failed and it will
fail again.
The country knows that Wen
dell Wlllkie is not Il Wall Street
tycoon-that he is not a rich
'playboy-that he worked his
way by hard labor from the
bottom to the top just as
American boys in every genera
ton do. 1t knows that what he
has he earned and that he has
played square with his associa-
tes and with the customers OF
his companies.
In brief, the country knows
and as the campaign goes on,
viii know better-that in Wend
ell Wilkie it has man of charac
ter and common sense-and il
is such a man that the country
today wants in the White
House.

Looking Forward
By Franklin Waltman

Nomination of Wendell L..
Willkie as the Republican can
didate for the presidency has
been variously hailed as a mira
cle," as the political pheno-
.menon" of the twentieth CEN
fury and as one of those mex
tolicable political developments
which takes place only once in
a generation.
The reason for such ejacula-
tons of wonderment spring, of
course, from the suddenness
with which Mr.. Willkie merged
a major political figure on the
national political scene. With
out previous political expert
ence, onl va few years distant
from the Democratic party and
without organized support, Mr..
Willkie became the presidential
nominee of a major party with
in 48 days after he formally
launched his campaign.
1t is no wonder the country
was amazed and political OBJ
servers bewildered. Nothing
like it ever before had happen
ed in this country. Some draw
a parcllel between the rise of
the Willkie star and that of VIM.
Jennings Bryan in 1896.
But really the two events
have little in common between
them. Bryan had been in Con-
gress befor his nomination and
many State Conventions had
instructed for him. The story
about Bryan stampeding the
1896 Democratic convention
with the Gross of Gold"
speech contains more legend
than fact.
The truth is that there is no
precedent for the Willkie nomi-
nation, just as there never has
been a session of a national
convention like the one at which
the Republican standard bearer
was nominated.
But there is no mystery or
scret regarding the forces which
brought about the Willkie
nomination. Mr.. Willkie sever
al weeks previously at the Ma
tional Press Club in Washing
ton, gave the key to the secret.
He said that success was meet
ing his efforts because he was
lin front of a trend" What he
meant was that he stood for the
things which the American
people had come to believe and
to want in the last few years.
1t had been obvious to most
political observers that the
American people had become
wearied of emergencies, continu
ed unemployment and depres-
sion, experimentation, waste
full spending and incompetence
