ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. ALASKA INDIAN LIMELIGHT. IN Alaska Indians have reason to be thankful to the Federal Government. Their present and future are secure. Provided with schools and hospitals, Northern natives can be confident that the mental | and physical development in progress now will be' continued indefinitely. They are promised more. They may be the heirs of a glorious past. Skeletons of 100 Alaska Indians have been sent to the Smithsonian Institution for examination and study. They were collected by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of the anthropological division of the Am- erican Museum of Natural Histoty. When clothed in the flesh, he believes they were representatives of an Arctic race of remote antiquity. Abor- igines of a day long since gone are no strangers to the doctor. They have been subjects of research | by him in every part of the continent for more than a score of years. | The origin of the Indian intrigues science. By | some savants, he is believed to be indigenous to several of the countries where he has been found | by white men. By other scholars, his source is| ascribed to Australia and the South Sea Islands, | natives of which have many characteristics in com- | mon with the aborigines of South America. In lhe{w opinion of other investigators, he had his beginning | in India and China, crossed the Bering Straits into‘ Alaska, gradually migrated south and finally peo-' pled in a sparsely ‘way all of the American con- tinent. The Bering Straits theory prompted Dr. Hrdlicka to gather the Alaska skeletons. It may be substan- | tiwteas by thems “Thé' idea is reasonable. Hesemt blances between natives of the Arctic and those | in this part of the Territory are plainly dlscemible,: and between the latter and those of the States| of the North Pacific Coast there is a greater degree of likeness than of difference. When the coast | aborigine left his canoe and crossed the mountains, he straddled a horse, which accounts for the long- lJegged, sinewy-framed warrior of the plains. The genesis of the Indian, like that’of humanity in general, may never be definitely ascertained; but if the truth is ever established it"is more likely than not to advance the Alaska native to the fore- front of his racial kind. In any event, he may rest assured a considerate government is doing every- thing possible to protect his chance for prehistoric eminence. VERY OLD RED WOOD LOG. A plece of a T-foot tree estimated to be 12,000,- 000 years old, which was found 150 feet below the bed of the Yakima River in Washington, has been dentified by Arthur Koehler, wood identification expert of the United States Forest Products Labora- tory, as a species of Sequoia. This ancient wood was taken from a log en- countered when a United States Reclamation Service tunnel was being driven under the river, and was in solid basalt believed to have been poured out of one of the Columbia Plateau volcanoes 12,000,000 years ago. “The wood is too friable to be sliced thin for microscopic examination,” Mr. Koehler says, “but examination of the whole piece with a hand lense leaves no doubt of its close kinship with Sequoia sempervirens, the red wood of today “The redwoods have not always been confined to a narrow strip in California, but throve at one time throughout what is now the United States, Canada, Alaska, Greenland, Europe, and Northern Asia. Fossil squoia cones were found in rocks and swamp deposits in Europe in the nineteenth century before the only living representatives of the species werg known to the white man.” BIG FOREIGNERS FOR THE PRIZE RING. and the sometimes called “Canary” the “Ambling Alp,” Primo Carnera, sometimes, appropriately, 265-pound Italian boy who is over in the United | States menacing the heavyweight pugilistic cham- pionship, is either having a great line of luck or he is.a real danger signal for those who would like to keep the big fighting belt on an Irish- a Slavic- a Jewish- or some other sort of an American. He is winning battle after battle and is willing to fight at the drop of a hat. He is, apparently, always ready and the higher they rate the better he seems to like them. He is a regular one, two fighter—that is, he puts them to sleep in the first or second round. The phenomenal success of the big Alp has sent managers and would-be managers scurrying to Eur- ope looking for big ones to battle in the squared circle. The New York World comes to the front with a suggestion that the managers ought to go to Japan and try to make a boxer out of one or more of her giant wrestlers. It thinks Nippon offers opportunities that are more likely of fruition than the search for a Perambulating Pyrenne, a Cawing . Caucasus or ah Appetizing Apennine.

THE DAILY AL ASKA EMPIRE, THUKRSDAY, SEPT: 18, 1930. {the Japs, whom it regards as the best bet, the New York paper says: This is the race of giant wrestlers that can make their living in the various cities of Japan. We are told that these gentlemen are bigger, stronger and more ferocious than any Alp, Pyrenee, Caucasus or Apen- nine that has come to light so far. We are not quite sure which of the Japanese strains has bred these wrestlers, although we have an impression that it is the Hairy Ainu, a race inhabiting the Island of Yezzo and cele- brated in the Orient for its gorilla-like appearance. But this is not important Why not import a few of them to have a try at the title? Of course, as things stand now they are wrestlers, but for a consid- eration they might be induced to become boxers, or at any rate to say they had be- come boxers. They would be a pleasing novelty, and we at least are prepared to believe that they could break any of the current contenders in two. Ja Those bandits that held up the Everctt bank showed a skill that would indicate they might have had Chicago training. And they got enough money to get back to Chicago where they will probably be safe. One would think that Scnator Nye and his committeemen may have been appointed as aids to the James Hamilton Lewis campaign com- mittee. At least they are not contributing to the election of Ruth Hanna McCormick. Ontario with a gold production of more than $32,000,000 a year is far ahead of any American State in the output of the standard of values. Wets and Drys in Congress. (New York World.) Looking ahead to the fall elections, the Meth- odist Board of Temperance is generous enough to admit that apparently “the present overwhelming dry majority in Congress will be slightly reduced.” that at the present time this majority “is probably larger than Ithe sentiment in the various districts would justify The Hoover landslide in 1928 brought into Con- gress some dry Republicans from districts normally Democratic and where the Democratic Party is wet.” The Board sees no reason to fear, however, that the drys will lose more than a comparatively small number of seats or that the authority of the friends of Prohibition will be seriously shaken. No doubt the Hoover landslide is in part re- sponsible for a dry majority “larger than the sen- timent in the various districts would justify.” A far more fundamental factor, however, is the man- ner in which seats in Congress are distributed among the States and within the States. For ten |years Congress has chosen to nullify a basic article of the Constitution rather than reapportion seats The chief reason for this reluctance has been the fear that reap- portionment would increase the city vote. Mean- time, the apportionment of seats within the States, as well as among the States, is so contrived as to give the rural sections representation in Congress out of all proportion to their population. In Illinois, for example, Cook County has one Representative in Congress for every 312,000 people; the rest of the State has one Representative for every 223,000 people. It takes three people in Cook County to equal two Approximately the same conditions exist Due to .the Iac.t.{ that the redistribution of seats has failed to keep pace with population changes, the city vote, which is the wet vote, is preposterously under-represented on the floor of Congress. Until this fundamental injustice to the cities i corrected, the make-up of Congress will never reflect fairly the division of opinion on any question which, like Prohibition, in- volves a disagreement between rural and urban sections of the country. Meanwhile, the wets can gain a number of seats in Congress and will gain those seats as rapidly as the cause of repeal ac- quires organization and effective leadership. For the present a majority of Congress will !remain dry, but its dryness is likely to mean no more in the future than it has in the past. Time and again the Methodist Board has appealed to this same top-heavy dry majority to take effective action to enforce the law, yet the law has never been enforced.. The dry majority in Congress is ready to pay lip service to the cause of Pro- hibition and let it go at that. A “Padre of the Craters.” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) Everybody has heard of Father Jerome Ricard, Santa Clara University's “Padre of the Rains,” whose studies of sunspots and weather have added so much to scientific knowledge of solar influence upon terrestrial storms. Now the world will hear of the Rev. J. Hubbard of the same school's geological partment. Father Hubbard recently passed through Seattle on his way to New York with 1,000 photographs and many rolls of films which he made this sum- mer in hitherto unexplored craters in Alaska. Alaska is one of the richest fields of investiga- tion for the geologist and volcanologist, and the “Padre of the Craters” has completed his second season of study there. All of us sit with more or less nonchalance upon craters — economic, political, social and personal. ‘That which cannot be seen does not appear dan- gerous, and few of us can see. But earth’s physical safety valves are terrify- ing, inspiring the awe which always follows upon | demonstration of tremendous and uncontrollable natural forces. Those who equipped with of courage. worth while, tainments. Father Hubbard and his companions had these. Just what their investigations revealed of scien- tific value is something which they must work out while we watch our own craters to keep them from boiling over.
