Oregon Pays Tribute To
 Late Leader

o. M. Hummer, father of Mrs. Frank Barnes of Wrangell. passed away August in Portland, Ore gon.
 MT. Hummer was seeretary-man- ager of the Pacific International Livestock exposition and was one of it's founders. He was one of the early owners of the Portland Union stockyards and was active throughout Oregon in livestock circles. He was particularly dis tinguished for his work in All clubs.
 Born in Bradford, Me, January 26, 1869 Mir. Hummer went to Portland, Oregon, in 1886. During World War I he was food adminis- trator for the Pacific northwest.
 Both the Portland Oregonian and Oregon Journal paid glowing trib ute to MT. Hummer editorially The Journal said, in part: Liter ally millions in the present gener- ation, and many more millions in coming generations-people who may not have heard and may not ever hear of his name or story of his work-will be directly indebted to his enthusiasm and interest in human betterment; or perhaps We should say the betterment of life this earth for all.'
 The Oregonian concluded its ed itorial tribute to Mrs. Barnes fatn- CT with this paragraph:
 70. M. Hummer was a man of droll, quite humor, given to firm friendships and lasting loyalty. Those who knew him well, who were his intimates, have cause l. be glad this was their privilege. He worked tirelessly and with the zeal of boy plus the shrewd practicality of tested experience. If Oregon were to have hall of fame wherein there would be sculptures of those who served her well, it would not be complete without bronze of Q. M But We have no physical hall of fame-we have only the great common heart of In gratitude he belongs there.'

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

If somebody had dropped an atomic bomb in Seattle's Elliott Bay, it couldn't have caused much more hullabaloo than is ensuing from the CAB recommendation for an air route from New York and Chicago via Edmonton and An chorage to the Orient. As reported in this column last week, Seattle is in a dither. Now the dither is spreading to Alaska. Development Board gave things a little impetus at its session last week by going on record favoring the inland route but not especially opposing a Seat tie oriental route. This was mis- interpreted in some sources as putting the Board in the position of opposing the Seattle route. Seattle Chamber of Commerce i'm mediately capitalized on this idea and now is going to send an "am- bassador" through the Washing ton State Advisory Commission to the Territory to try and sell AL askans the idea of being on a spur line from the Queen City. This is verbatim the text of the message the Development Board sent to Seattle:
 Robert Atwood is authorized to represent the Alaska Development Board in presenting its view that it is not opposed in any sense to a Seattle run to the Orient through the mainland of Alaska and in fact favors it, provided it does not jeop- ardize the route from New York and Chicago to Alaska and thence to the Orient, which the Alaska Development Board considers in- dispensable to the future of Alas ka."
 So if you see a chap coming north with a satchel of banana oil, it'll probably be the "ambas- sador" ready to give you the old stuff on why Alaska shouldn't be on the around-the-world air map from New York and Chicago but should continue to be on spur line out of Seattle, the town Alas ka made prosperous and which the Seattle Chamber of Commerce wants to keep that way by keeping the Territory an exclusive pay off station for Seattle.

 Confirming Periscope's report of last week we have received the fol- lowing communication from Sena- tor Norman R. "Doc' Walker:
 rYour contention about the petition asking for the Governors removal being circulated in the First Division is correct and I signed it, making I believe, the ninth name.
 "I signed it after reading it carefully and believing the state- ments contained therein ito be cor rect and Nick Beg or anyone else did not influence me in any way. If he has any influence with the President I am not aware of it and certainly I will never ask Bez' permission to sign or refuse to sign anything.
 ''I might say this, with the pos sible exception of the Governors reference to me in his Green Book" wholly unwarranted, he has never done me a personal injury, nor do I feel that way about him, but I am of the firm opinion that he is injuring Alaska by mis- guided policy, although he has many who believe him to be right. I will never be satisfied with the Governor unless it be that he is elected and know he has the ap- proval of the people as those of us have that oppose him. We are talk ing our chances. He as an ap- pointee is not taking any.
