wiping names and other inscriptions off the
walls of the stairwell and sweeping up flash
bulbs, chewing gum wrappers and other de-
briS the climbers leave behind as memorials
to themselves.
The climbers miss two recorded talks, one
on George Washington, one on the monument
itself, which the elevatOr-riders get. The first
recording is played outside the elevator, the
the second during the ride to the top.
At the top visitors come and 60 like waves

may be hushed group of awe-struck tourists,
the next bunch of chattering first graders.
They circle from window to window until
they are satisfied they have seen all the sights,
which takes an average of 10 minutes, then
leave, already supplanted by the next group.
Without the perseverance Of few men
who believed no nations capital should be
without monument to the nations founder
there might not be any Washington Monument
today. Plans for the monument took good half
century to resolve and construction actually
was stopped for IS years when the monument
was 153 high.
Even before George Washington died, Con-
gress decided to put up an equestrian statue of
him in the capital, wherever that would be.
Pierre L'Enfant, in his plan of Washington,
reserved space for the monument at the in
tersection of the nOrth-south line through the
Presidents palace and the eastweSt line
through the dome of the Capitol There was
some talk about a granite and marble pyramid,
but nothing was done until 1888, when several
citizens formed the Washington National
Monument Society to redeem what they con-
sidered Congress pledge of so years before.
The society collected half dozen designs
some grotesque-for the monument, and
chose one by John Mills. It was Doric Obelisk,
600 feet high, surrounded by a circular colon
made (s0mething like the more recent Jeffer-
SON MemOriaD, 200 feet in diameter By l847,
the society had $4,000 in the kitty, enough to
get started. On July 4 Of the next year the cor
nerstOne was laid on a mound few hundred
feet southeast of the spot L'Enfant had picked
His plan would have had the monument in the
middle of marsh.
AS time passed, the society ran into in
creasing difficulty collecting funds and de-
cided to reduce the height of the shaft 100 feet
and to hold off on the colonnade. As the trou-
bles continued, the society finally asked Con-
gress to appropriate enough money to finish
the job.

One family Of children said they
could not go out because their
parents were going to a Halloween
party, and they didn't have the
time to fix a costume for them nor
get anything for them to hand out

To our surprise four Of their
friends came around each with two
sacks and asked at each house
that an extra treat be put in for
their friends who could not play.
This idea was a six year old's, and
he asked his three friends each to

they called 1t, TO the children
whose parents were too busy to
get them ready to go out, the
mother actually nearly cried when
she let those children In her house.
She had them come in and with
few others who were coming for
treats made a party" for about
ten children. She may have been
late for her party but those little

trick OR TREAT

Halloween has gone once again
and the children who came to all
Of the houses calling, trick or
treat" were quite small but they
knew what trick or treat" meant.
One group of youngsters didn't
wait to be asked TO show their
ability. They came in laughing and
started right in singing and show
ing us how to twist. They could
not have been over seven years
old, but they really had the halo
ween spirit
After they received their treat
they told us the parents wouldn't
let them take any soap to soap
our windows even If we didn't get
a treat, but they said, thanks for
the treat. Seven years old and
already they knew how to earn
their treat and so it was no cllari-
ty for them. They gave and we
gave and that made 1t fine for
them, they said.
Before they left, a group Of old
er ones came and said, trick or
treat" and they took the treat and
said, thank you" and left.
By eight-thirty si,Cty very young
children had been around the
neighborhood and they left a feel
ing of joy behind them. All of them
were in a real holiday mood and
happy for what ever they received
and none forgot to say, thank
YOU.
They really thought they had
frightened their neighbors with
the masks they wore, and you could

potential, providing the state
government establishes incentives
such as Canada has and requests
our federal government to do
likewise such as elimination
of all state and federal taxes for
the first three years after pro-
duction begins on new mines and
incentives to get prospectors out
into the hills looking for new de-
posits.
"Our mining industry is the one
industry which will employ peo-
pie the year round and will not
be bothered by our extreme wea-
Their. 1t is the one industry which
produces a product that can be
shipped out of Alaska to foreign
markets.
British Columbia produced APP
proximately $3.50 million worth of
minerals last year while our pro-
duction is getting smaller every
year. We have the minerals and
Japan and our own industries
want them. But, the mining indus
try won't develop by itself. Some
one has to work at it! On the
inside Nov. 27, Snake River, Ca
NADIA, SOCIAL Exploration says
they have found one of the big
gest iron ore deposits in the
world.
What would you say if l told
you we had a similar one in AL
aska? And not Kluwan. Ny point
is that in Canada such strikes are
news, big news, while in Alaska,
who cares?
''Do the people of Alaska want
a billion dollar a year mining in
dustry?. Do our state officials in
Juneau care? They don't appear
to by their actions of doing moth
ing concrete to get the industry
going. If they don't know how to
go about it, I'll be glad to offer
some suggestions" (Unquote.)

marketing of power would be the
responsibility of the Secretary of

this responsibility, the Secretary
is obliged to set rates with regard
to the recovery of the cost of pro-

including the amortization of the
capital investment over a reas-

Authorization of this develop

which show that power from

of approximately 10 mills per

To quote in part: "Ill be very
much surprised if the recent trip

years hence. What we need more
is to do something for ourselves
that will create payroll industries
for Alaska's immediate future.

becomes reality, will bring in
