The Department of Agriculture has issued a press pulletin covering the discovery of Lake Dorothy by the Alaska Aerial Survey ¢pedition, and com- menting not only upon the importance of the dis-| covery but upon the importance of the work being The bulletin was prosecuted by the expedition. jssued August 27, and is as follows A power site of more than 20,000 horse- power has been discovered in the Tongass National Forest, Southeast Alaska, by the Alaska Aerial Survey Expedition now work- ing in that region, according to informa- tion telegraphed to the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture in Washington. The aerial survey is expected to prove extremely valuable in connection with power development for the manufacture of wood pulp on the Tongass Forest. The power site, just discovered, is on the east side of Taku Inlet near Greely Point. Lakes, streams and other important topo- graphic features of the Tongass Forest, the existence of which hitherto has not been known, have been revealed by the survey of the forest from the air. Before the aerial survey expedition began its work none of the greater part of the land surface of Southeast Alaska had ever been surveyed. The shore lines of the islands and the mainland had been delineated, but farther inland the maps were largely blank, even within one mile of tidewater. In 1926 a total of 10,000 square miles was mapped. The work is now being continued this sum- mer. It is anticipated that an equal area will be covered in 1929, and this will com- plete the work to be done in this region. Cloudless weather is essential to aero- photographic mapping, and much time is lost because this region is one of the heavy precipitation and numerous rainy or cloudy days. In spite of these handicaps the ex- pedition is accomplishing work that would take years by the usual “ground” methods of surveying in this rugged, inaccessible re- gion. The Navy Department, the Geological Survey, Bureau of Public Roads, and Forest Service are cooperating in the aerial mapping project. The work is being done with Navy planes and the Navy mine sweeper “Gannet” is acting as tender for the expedition. The need for accurate maps of South- east Alaska is imperative in connection with prospecting and mining, commercial fishing, Iumbering, water power development, and industrial utilization of the resources of the region in general. The extended investiga- tion of timber and water power resources now being made as a preliminary step in the prospective establishment of a paper- making industry in Alaska has greatly- ac- centuated this need. The Tongass Na- tional Forest contains a vast amount of pulp timber, enough to supply 25 per cent. of the newsprint needs of the United States in perpetuity. Under Forest Service administration, this timber will be cut no faster than it grows, 50 that the industry, once established in Al- aska, will have an unfailing source of supply. MOURN WITH EDITOR FISK. The profound sympathy of all those who are engaged in newspaper making in Alaska goes out to Charles Fisk, the versatile editor of the An- chorage Times, whose mother died in California this week. Mr. Fisk only recently returned from a visit to his mother, convinced that she would sur- vive for a long time. He had been called south on #ccount of her illness. But the respite was not for long. Mrs. Fisk had survived the allotted three score and ten years by more than five years and had completed a full and useful lifetime. She leaves behind a record that will be cherished by her chil- dren and surviving friends. She lived with Editor Charlie Pisk at Ketchikan for several years, and made many friends in Alaska that will mourn with her surviving relatives. . NEW YORK CITY AND PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT. Federal Prohibition Administrator Campbell of New York recently transmitted to New York Police -, Commissioner Whalen what he characterized as evi- dence gathered by his agents of the existence of 32,000 speakeasies in New York. He called the New York City official's attention to the circumstance that the speakeasies are operating in violation of the New York State statutes, and asked him to _enforce the laws. Commissioner Whalen returned the so-called evidence to Administrator Campbell and told him that if he could not enforce the Federal Prohibition laws in his district he ought to report the fact to his superiors in his own lits wealth. additio 5,000 al policemen if New York City were| to undertake the enforcement of Prohibition and would add $15,000,000 to the annual municipal | budget. In addition, it would be an unpcpulnr‘: expenditure in New York where the people ar:’i overwhelmingly opposed to Prohibition. If the shades of the spirit world take into ac-| count what is doing on earth it would not be hard| to guess that the spirit of the late venerable Sen- ator John T. Morgan is happy these days. The great Alabamian labored with all of his splendid abilities for decades for a Nicaragua Canal. Some believed that the announcement that the Govern- ment would build a Panama Canal instead of Nicaragua Canal was the cause of his break-down and death al It is estimated that the present year will wit- | ness the registration of more than 1,000,000 students in American colleges and universities. This is com- parable with 123,000 in Germany, 65,000 in England' and § a whale of a country both in population and | i wealth, and the population knows for what to spend | Senator Borah does not like President Hoover's public lands plans any better than he likes his | tariff or farm relief ideas. - In fact the Senator appears to be much less fond of President Hoover than he was of Candidate Hoover last year. However, he will probably think better of the | President by 1932 and campaign the country for| him again. | Municipal Ownership Declining. (New York Times.) The latest statistics relating to municipally own- | ed electric light and power plants, quoted in The American City, are not likely to satisfy either side | in controversy over public ownership. In 1922 there were 2,581 municipal establishments. The census of 1927, a summary of which is now available, shows that during the five-year interval the total dropped to 2,198. This 15 per cent. decrease is not so great | a falling off as some of the advocates of private | ownership had predicted, but it holds little encour- agement for their opponents. It is in strong con- trast to the trend during the twenty years from 1902 to 1922, when the number of municipal plants | trebled. To be sure, Kansas and Nebraska have carried the banner of municipal ownership forward | during the past five years, registering notable gains, | but the trend has been the other way, and even | North Dakota and Wisconsin are listed among the backsliders. In the era which may be said to have closed | with the year 1922, municipal development had its principal source in the need of communities out of reach of existing privately operated central stations. With the enormous expansion of the electric light industry this motive is less compelling. Intercon- nection has brought in its train benefits with which the isolated municipal plants finds it difficult to compete. *Public utility propaganda has been doubly | effective when backed by ample funds for the pur- chase of municipal plants. War experience tended to discredit the cause of public ownership. The figures show, however, that the municipal plant is still a factor to be reckoned with, even though it supplies less than 5 per cent. of the total | power output of the country. Most of the municipal plants—Los Angeles, Cleveland, Seattle and Tacoma are exceptions—supply small cities. Isolated small towns which are not good prospects for the commer- cial enterprise will still seek the benefits of electric service on their own initiative, and even in the larger communities public ownership may be jus- tified where private initiative has proved faithless or public regulation incompetent. But in these days_ of broad interconnection, when the benefits of private operation are widely accepted, the trend, wherever regulation is effective, is likely to con- tinue against the municipal plant. A Quarantine for Wet States. (New York World.) In debating the prohibition question with Gov- ernor Ritchie at the Virginia Institute of Public Affairs, Stanley High, editor of the Christian Herald, not only insisted that the Eighteenth Amendment imposes an obligation upon every State to enforce it, but he went further and declared that “the State, like the citizen, has one of two courses open: either to co-operate in making the policy effective or be quarantined in a detention camp and denied the benefits accruing from the Constitution which the States has refused to support.” This is a novel contribution not only to the theory of enforcement but even to the broader field of constitutional law. It is regrettable that Mr. High did not explain in detail how a State is to be put into a detention camp and whether the drys in that State are to be quarantined along with the wets or whether there is first to be a separation of the sheep from the goats. He pro- feses great reverence for the Constitution, but m§ advocating his fantastic mode of group punishment he overlooks the fact that this instrument stipulates that “the citizens of each State shall be entitled to| all privileges and immunities of citizens in the sev- eral States.” The penalty he would mete out to wet States does violence in a dogen ways to the Constitution which he wrongly acuses them of vio- lating when they do not co-operate in the execu- tion of the Volstead Act. But further along in his argy makes a statement which nmyL ::f:g:;ntmzbrmgl: bizarre views. “When it comes to States and rights ?sndm';)‘n:xnlnke that,” he says, “the average citizen ply lost.” He has prove he is an average citizen. : 4 conglipny e e If they have thought of it at peop! the United States have simply put a:;,eth:]uk‘ ;:n‘;f road down as another Alaska folly and let it go at that.

Ohlson we are beginning to have real hope that they will learn what it is all about and THE CLOCK DANCE By Mary Graham Bonner The Indian chief was painting| | his face with all sorts of bright colors. He was adding more feath- to his costume. The feathered head dress he wore hung way down | his back. The squaw was painting dots of red and yellow over her face and 000 in France. The U. . A. has become |the children were painting their| | faces, t00. Now they began painting the es of John and Peggy! This was certainly wonderful. Only the little black clock did not have its face painted. The little black clock was to be honored by the dance. “Oh, small, but wonderful clock,” said the chief, “you have accepted the magic offered to you. No long- | er do you have to tell the ordinary time. You can turn it to any time you wish. “It is to you, small but wonder- ful clock, we are going to do hon- or with a dance special for you!” And now they all rushed out of the tepee. John and Peggy did not know what part they were to take in the dance, but as the Indians started beating a drum it made everyone want to leap and jump. The little black clock took a place not far from the tepee, where he sat. Other Indians joined them, and all about the little magic clock they danced. “Ah - ee-oh-ee-oh-ce-oh,” sang. The drum was being beaten more and more quickly. “Ah-ee-oh-ee-oh,” and Peggy. They jumped, fhen hopped, they took great steps and then little steps. And all the time the drum was being beaten with more force, then more softly. “Ah-oh-ee-00-ee,” clock of mighty they shouted John time! Clock of al the years! Clock |§: of good luck!” cried the chief. The clock was bowing low now. John and Peggy were bowing low. The Indians were saying goodby to them. The dance was over, but they had been invited to come back again some day. 1 The chief ordered horses to be brought—horses with handsome saddles, and decorated, too. But the little black clock said | one horse would do. So the clock and Peggy and John rode off over the prairie while the Indians sang| a song. ——ee———— ARMY AIR CORPS TESTS LARGEST AERIAL CAMERA DAYTON, Ohio, Sept. 19.—The world’s largest aerial camera, de- veloped to take detail photographs | froh high altitudes, has been tested by the army air corps at Wright field here. ! The operation of the camera which weighs 130 pounds, is auto- matic. A recording device regis- ters on the film of each photograph the altitude at which it was taken. The camera is electrically heated to permit the taking of pictures in below zero temperatures of high altitudes in which it will be used. — e DUCK HUNTERS AITENTION Motorship “EAGLE” leaving Ju- | neau Saturday night for Sumcum.
