Sinclair's stockholders have never wavered in | their confidence in him or loyalty to him.

Those who would travel upon ground that man’s 'foot has seldom touched, who would seek adventure |in the exploration of unknown territory, will find |the opportuntiy awaiting them in Alaska. Al- | though sixty years have passed since that Northern there are still large areas of it about which little more is than before the transfer to the American flag. The task of mapping this great The agreement reached by the City Council and property owners for paving Front Street from the present paved section to the City Dock and from Seward Street to Main, the lower part of Franklin Street and Third Street is a matter for congratula- tion. It means a very substantial addition to the paved sections of the town, and along lines that too swift for boating and the only trails are those with them.” are fair to all the taxpayers and those wiho will be‘ specifically benefitted. i A similar agreement, if entered into, next year would result in having the whole business section of these methods were used by the Geological |patrons of the night clubs will back from and including Third Street to the water front Survey Expedition that in 1926 undertook to extend |her up—but we don't believe any paved. That would add immensely to the appear- | ance of the town, reduce maintenane costs and contribute to the utility of the thoroughfares. The work then could be carried forward into other sections of the town until within a short time we would have a completely paved city. The work that is being started again this year| ought to be continued until the job is completed. A PLACE IN THE HOME. When the controversy over the proper place at| table for Mrs. Gann, sister of the Vice-President, was seething at Washington, someone asked the de- lightful and talented wife of the very popular Speak- er of the National House of Representatives, who is| the very lively daughter of the late President Roosevelt, whether or not Mr. Gann, Mrs. Gann's husband ought to be invited to things. Mrs. Alice | Roosevelt Longworth replied, “I don’t think so; Mr. Gann's place is in the home.” Possibly it would be a good thing for both of the Ganns to think a moment over Alice’s “witicism. And it would not be out of place for them to take into account that the Vice-President’s daughters,. Mrs. George and Mrs. Knight, and their husbands{ seem to be unanimously in favor of the home idea. None of them are snooping around Washington look- ing for table seats with their names on them. We suspect that Mrs. Gann would not detract from her | popularity if she would take a stand beside her hus- band in the home. HOOVER AND THE TARIFF. President Hoover believes that tariff boosting is fraught with grave potential dangers, and he is strongly urging Congress to go slow. In this he is supported by the best economic thought of the country. The foreign trade of the United States /19,846,000 tons a year; wilderness—consisting of 586,400 square miles, nearly one-fifth as large as the United States—has been in progress since 1898 by the Geological Survey, and although it is still far from completed, each | year shows progress in the inventory that “Uncle Sam” is making of his Northern possession. The task is necessarily a difficult one, because in a new, unexplored country, where streams are of wild naimals, the surveyor must still use the primitive methods of transport—the slow but sure pack horse and the boat dragged by hand through water too swift for even a moden power boat. Both topographic and geologic surveys into the uppex'l portion of the basin of the Skwentna River. As a result of this expedition about 700 square miles of hitherto unexplored territory was mapped geologically and typographically, and 350 square miles, previously mapped in an exploratory way, were remapped and corrected. This work gave clue to the position and courses of the rivers that drain many thousand square miles of one of America's great mountain ranges, and to routes of approach to other unexplored areas. New York As a Port. (New York World.) The Commerce Bulletin of the Port Authority is- sues comparative figures of the tonnage noted dur- ing the calendar year 1928 at certain of the great seaports of the world. They show New York so far in the lead that, as said of the yacht America off Cowes, “that is no second:” New York Hamburg Rotterdam Number vessels 6,761 17,268 12,291 Net. reg. tonngge 29,067,000 21,448,000 20,456,000 Average 3 4,165 1,242 1,664 Comparable figures for London are not available. Figures closed somewhat earlier gave that port Liverpool has less tonnage than London; Hongkong retains an immense coast- ing and general commerce which has caused it to be called the busiest port in the world. But the case of Hongkong it peculiar. A British possession on the China coast, a free port for reassmebling of mixed cargo, its commerce is in great part what would be classed in New York as coasting traffic. Omitting the Chinese junks which pile up tonnage by frequent short trips, Hongkong's yearly total of steamships entered is less than half that of New York. To such honors as bigness confers upon a seaport the American metropolis seems entitled. Maybe it was the activity of the Coast Guard that inspired President Hoover to give up the May- flower — (Philadelphia Inquirer.)
