IRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ‘USKYAHA?« THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ZEPPELIN'S COoMI s Alaska is a bhig country and they are long trails that connect different parts of it. It is so far between places that those of one section are likely to fail in appreciation of the importance of things that are happening in other sections, ‘While Jun.eau. as the capital, is probably less apt to miss things occurring elsewhere than most of the Alaska towns, all of us Juneauites are not always fully awake ‘tn the whole import of current happenings at Fair- banks, for instance. The complete significance of the arrangement to have the great German Graf Zeppelin stationed ih the Territory with headquart- ers at Fairbanks for three years has not yet prob- ably been thoroughly assimilated by those living this far from the “Heart of Alaska” We append here an editorial from the Fairbanks News-Miner that is worth reading and thinking about: The Graf Zeppelin, mightiest of air trans- ports in an air conscious era, was the major subject of discussion at a meeting of the Fairbanks Commercial Club last evening. Progress was reported on preparations for basing the ship here over a period of three years, during which the Aero-Arctic Society, representative of 20 nations, proposes to sift for all time the mysteries of the polar re- gion to the north—a dream of scientists for ages which was shown feasible and came near culmination in the tragically ended exploits of the Nobile expedition. As the club members sat at their round table last night and in a matter-of-fact at- titude listened to a telegram from Ernest Walker Sawyer, heard a report of work ac- complished on a field recently acquired and discussed ways and means of financing the work to completion, the vastness of the whole thing struck home. Mr. Sawyer stated that the air project was assured and that there need be no doubt that Fairbanks's efforts would go unrewarded. It all meant that Fairbanks would play a center part in a world drama. It is interesting to contemplate the set- ting. The world’s foremost in science, engineer- ing, navigation, publicly assembled here and making history at Fairbanks's doorstep! The Zeppelin coming and going and coming. A cosmopolitan bit of excitement that, in its mutual sharing, will mean much to the permanent resident of this community, both through its Outside influence and through the demand for concerted action. Fairbanks has been fortunate in the Zeppelin matter, especially so in light of recent development of the International Highway project. It may be stated without argument that the highway is assured with- in due time—the spontaneous acclaim of the plan clinching it—and that the coming of the Zeppelin for three seasons of explora- tion will throw a mighty emphasis on the early need of the road as an adjunct to an international airway. It will mean that Fairbanks and Nome in Alaska will fill their destiny as intervals in the great air route at a near date, and that Fairbanks will be found with a fully developed airpert, prepared to meet the demand. For those who are inclined to be pes- simistic there can be little comfort in con- templation of the future of Fairbanks, with the Zep and the highway at the threshold. ‘Two greater agencie for permanent develop- ment under existing conditions could not be conjured up. While greater direct benefit from the presence of the German Zeppelin in Alaska for a three- year period will come to Fairbanks and other sec- tions of the Territory, Juneau and Southeast Alaska will profit largely, though more indirectly. What- ever occurs in one part of Alaska helps to advertise the whole Territory, and we feel that all Juneau and Southeast Alaska need to accelerate growth and prosperity is to have attention called to them. ED. SIMS RETIRES. E. A. Sims, erstwhile canneryman in Alaska and Puget Sound and now engaged in mining in the Btate of Washington, for nearly a score of years one of the dominating members of the Washington failure to following the last legislative session, his plans to retire from politics, but had trouble in finding anyone to take him seriously then In the last campaign Sims headed the organization that put Washington G. O. P. delegates on the Hoover bandwagon. In the last Legislature his control of road funds made him undisputed leader. For Ed. Sims's sake we ought all to rejoice at political retirement, but not so for the State of Washington. Mr. Sims ought to be Governor of his State now. He is a much bigger man than |the present Governor, and much better balanced and tempermentally fitted to get the best results. | hi While some of the Senators are complaining about the failure of the National Capital police to enforce Prohibition, Senator Blease declares they are too active in picking up men under the influence of liquor and boys and girls accused of petting. But then there are usually among Senators about everything. With an American motor that Russian plane ought to make the rest of the journey without a perform. * At least that would be*the natural deduction from the number and length of the non-stop flights, Those Athletics are living up to their reputa- tion. How Not to Treat a Philanthropist. (Vancouver, B. C., Financial News.) “How not to treat a philanthropist,” might well be the title and purpose of this little story Harvey Haddon, once resident of Vancouver, now living in London, England, a holder of Vancouver vestments, is perhaps the leader amongst all public benefactors of Vancouver as a community. His hobby is in providing parks and play places, and he has taken a real pleasure in showing Vancouver the gratitude he has felt for the profits his Van- couver real estate investments have shown him. Recently Mr. Haddon, now an elderly man, vis- ited Vancouver and expressed a desire to give the city another playing place. His friends in Van- couver introduced the subject of a great open-air swimming pool at Kitsilano Beach, which would, in the vernacular, put Vancouver on the natatorial map of the world. Mr. Haddon responded to the sug- gestion immediately and plans were drawn. The pool was to be 700 feet long and 200 feet wide. It would be built west of the bath house and exist- ing bathing beach at Kitsilano. The cost would be $50,000 and it would be free to all, under the ad- ministration of the Vancouver Parks Board.. Mr. Haddon was to pay the entire bill. Pacific Railway agreed to give a 99-year lease to its section of the right-of-way there and the B. C. Electric, which uses the right-of-way, agreed to terminate its line at Yew Street, making the con- struction of the tank possible. Seating space for about 10,000 spectators was declared available, and Vancouver Parks authorities and swimmers began to envision the day when world-famous divers and swimmers might be induced to compete in Van- couver, when the swimming season might be pro- longed a month or more in Vancouver, when the problem of unsanitary beaches might be at least partly disposed of. There semed to be no obstacle in the path of the enterprisg. Vancouver would be in line with other great cities, which are today rap- idly providing outdoor swimming pools to meet the need for aquatic sports development. Then the art gallery enthusiasts in Vancouver got wind of the coming philanthropy. Fifty thou- sand dollars would build a fine art gallery. They bore down on Mr. Haddon, expounded on Van- couver's need of an art gallery, insisted that it would be infinitely more valuable than a swimming pool, which had a low cultural value, and succeeded in making their campaign strong enough to cause the would-be benefactor of Vancouver more than a small measure of irritation. Mr. Haddon, it seem- ed, thought more of a living picture than of any that had ever been painted. Naturally not content to be dictated to as to the direction of his philantropies, and unwilling to become the storm center of a controversy, the Vancouver pioneer who came prepared to do some- thing for the city he loves has gone away baffled by the attitude of its people. It is a lesson for Vancouver. What Makes Copper Weather Green? (Engineering and Mining Journal.) Though Webster’s dictionary states that the green film, or patina, formed on copper by long exposure to the atmosphere is a basic copper carbonate, re- search by W. H. J. Vernon and L. Whitby has shown that it is the sulphate rather than the car- bonate. A paper on the open-air corrosion of cop- per was presented at the Institute of Metals meet- ing at Dusseldorf, September 9 to 12, 1929. An abstract follows: The patina on copper, after prolonged exposure to the open air, has been studied, samples having been taken from copper structures in urban, rural, and coastal districts. Provided the exposure has been sufficiently prolonged, and in the absence of certain prejudicial circumstances, a pleasing green patina characterizes the metal surface in each type of atmosphere. Frequently (in urban districts in- variably), the metal passes through a preliminary black stage, the persistence of which is favored by the presence of lead in the metal and by shielding from wind and rain. In general, the green patina consists essentially of basic copper sulphate. An exception to this is the product from a purely marine atmosphere, in which event basic copper chloride predominates; where urban and marine conditions coincide, however, basic sulphate in the product greatly predominates over basic chloride. Contrary to the general belief, basic copper car- bonate enters only to a minor extent "into the composition of the product, even in rural districts remote from sea and town. Sulphur compounds, derived from products of combustion and dissem- inated by wind, are the most potent agents in the development of patina. The underlying meta!, after long periods of exposure, shows remarkable freedom from pitting. With the exception of lead, which Legislature, and one of the Republican leaders in the State of Washington, has announced his retire- ment from politics. He announced it just after the last Legislature adjourned, a Legislature that he probably more nearly completely dominated than any previous session. Fearful that it would be over- Jooked or looked upon as a gesture rather than a deliberate and definite purpose, he has restated it. ‘The Post-Intelligencer gives the account this way: E. A Sims of Port Townsend, dominant figure in evéry Washington Legislature he has attended as a member, is through with politics and doesn’t care who takes his place. .~ “If I was boss, I've thrown my belt on the floor,” he said, on a visit to Seattle ‘Wednesday. * “I'm not handing ‘em fight for it. “That's how I got it.” Sims expects to devote himself to his ni and oil wm He announced, it to anybody. Let tends to accumulate in the product, the impurities usually present in the metal have no appreciable effect on the composition or appearance of the patina.
