J. Alexander, Al Dano and Pilot James Dodson in an, airplane wreck near Ketchikan has shocked the communities of Southeast Alaska. The ' dead and injured airplane passengers have long been| prominent, highly respected and well liked citizens of this part of Alaska. While Mr. Selig was better known at Ketchikan than at Juneau, he had many warm friends in this neighborhood and many others regarded him highly as a close relative of J. R. Heckman, who has spent much time here as member of the House of Representatives and Territorial Senate and »s a business and friendly visitor. Mr. Alexander and Mr. Dano resided in this vicinity for many years, the former as one of the owners of the old Hoonah Packing Company with caneries at Hoonah and Gambier Bay. He was Superintendent of the Hoonah cannery for several years. For a score or more of years he has been a regular visitor here, and for sometime he was a resident of Juneau. Mr. Dano spent much time in Juneau when he was Superintendent of the Tee Harbor cannery before it burned several years ngo. Both Mr. Alexander and Mr. Dano have hosts of friends here who are hoping for their early re- covery. PROPOSED THANE ROAD CAUS JOY. The announcement of M. D. Williams, District Engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads, that an| 18-foot standard highway to cost approximately $200,000, connecting Juneau and Thane, will be con- structed, and that construction will be launched this summer, causes joy in.this section. The improve- ment is needed and its building will give employ- ment to many people that need the work. Thane is already the most populous suburb of Juneau on this side of Gastineau Channel, and its importance promises to increase as time goes on. Such a road as the Bureau of Public Roads pro- poses to construct will contribute to the development of the community. It will increase the zeal of those who contemplate the establishment of pulp and paper mills on Gastineau Channel, for it will be evidence that the Bureau of Public Roads is pre- pared and willing to build good roads where de- velopment® indicates their need. Juneau approves very heartily Mr. Williams's plan with respect to the Thane road as she has approved of his administration in the past. GLOOMY OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT FARMERS, Late estimates of the Department of Agriculture do not look rosy for wheat prices. They show there will probably be a carry over July 1 of 290,000,000 bushels as against 275,000,000 bushels last year. The 1931 crop will exceed that of last year by 40,000,- 000 bushels or 97,000,000 bushels higher than the last five years’ average. The total supply in the United States for the coming year arrived at by adding this year's production to the surplus on hand will be 1,115,000,000 bushels. In addition to this indicated increase ‘n the surplus wheat in the United States, the Boston News Bureau says apparent surpluses are indicated in Canada of 216,000,000 bushels, Argentine 193,- 000,000, Australia 127,000,000, a total increase in these countries over last year of approximately 120,000,000. No statistics are availale on the probable outlook in Russia. The Boston News Bureau says the Farm Board is not to support the 1931 wheat crop, unless there shall be further legislation, and that there is a tedency in Europe to purchase wheat from other sources than the United States. Therefore, unless something dintervenes to curtail the expected large 1931 crop, it declares we might expect even lower prices next year than we have had this year It sees a continuation of this sort of thing until the American farmers confine the wheat crop to the domestic demand and thus get the advantage of the tariff of 42 cents a bushel FJ FOR MORE FAMOUS PAINTING FAMOUS METROPOLITAN MUSEUM. ‘The great Metropolitan Museum of Art York City is about to have added to exhibits of paintings from the artists the marvelous collection n New ts inammoth world’s greatest of the late Col. Michael Freidsam, valued at $10,000,000. The collec- | tion contains works of Remrandt, Bermeer, Crisyus, Bellini, Brouwver, Ghirlandajo, Valasquez, Duplessis, _Bellegambe, Matsys, Maitre deMoulins, Perugino, Van Clouet, Marmion and others. The Duplessis 3 is the famous portrait of Benjamin Franklin by the great French artist. This will be a notablé“addition to one of the world's largest and most famous art galleries. The collection is a bequest from the late owner, who was President of B. Altman and Company, one of New York’s greatest drygoods ctores. At last Seattle has a City,Light Superintendent. After rejecting five candidates named by Mayor Edwards the City Council approved - the second nomination of W. Chester Morse, former City En- neer, to succeed J. D. Ross, who had been removed by the Mayor on the eve of the recent municipal election. Now the question is whether this will terminate the ruction between the Mayor and the Council and stop the effort to recall Mayor Edwards, or whether it will cause a renewal of the fight. The death of John A. Clark of Fairbanks at Seattle terminated the life of one of Alaska’s ablest lawyers and most useful citizens. He had practiced law in the Interior metropolis almost from the be- gining of the town, and had taken an active part in public affairs there. His friends were legion and extended throughout the Terr .ory and wherever former Alaskans had located. He will be sadly missed in Alaska and genuinely mourned. While Gov. Pinchot won two contests for the Governorship of Pennsylvania, it is not at all likely that he will make much of a dent in the Keystone State as a candidate against President Hoover. He won the other fights in the State »rimaries| because the regular Republicans were divided. While most of the Kings are in the discard three or four of them in one hand usually jets the jackpot. Our Lazy Authors. (New York Times.) Mr. Galsworthy, sailing for home after a pro- longed visit, made two remarks which take issue with what are perhaps the two most popular no- tions about the United States. In this country we are supposed to adore work and to be devoid of beauty. As to the second point, Mr. Galsworthy told the shipnews men that he found New York more beautiful than ever,” and that “seen from high up the beauty is amazing.” This tribute in itself is not novel. Many years ago Henry W. Nev- inson wrote a memorable prose hymn to New York, “the most beautiful of modern cities.” And even Mr. Chesterton, who has no great love for cities and modernism, observed a little while ago that the impression produced by New York City is truly Babylonian. So, considering that we have the beauty of New York’s towers, and the beauty of the Rockies, and of Vermont, and of the Southern Appalachians, and of the Grand Canyon, and of the Yosemite, and the Yellowstone, it would appear that the American people are not quite engulfed in the morass of ugliness conjured up by our young- est, most disillusioned sons. In Arizona, said Mr. Galsworthy to the report- ers, “I was able to put in quite a good long spell of work on the sequel to the novel now appearing serially.” John Galsworthy already at work on the sequel to a novel which is appearing serially raises the second question whether Americans really work as hard as they pretend to do. Whatever may be true of other occupations, it is beyond question that American authors in the mass do not begin to work as hard as do their English and Continental fel- lows. Since 1920 Sinclair Lewis has to his credit| six novels and a little book on Coolidge. Willa | Cather has done six. novels of her own moderate- sized type in the same time. With this compare the unflagging industry of a Galsworthy with more than half a dozen Forsythe volumes since the war and perhaps a dozen plays. Arnold Bennett's es- tate of half a million dollars is in greater part the register of a perfectly enormous application. He has fifteen books to his credit since 1920 and a vast amount of journalistic work. Hugh Walpole since 1920 has eighteen volumes listed in the British “Who's Who.” We are not without our hard-working authors, Cabell has more than a dozen books since 1920 and Tarkington has nine books and half a dozen vol- umes of plays. But these are the elder men who carry on the older, European tradition of laborious- ness. Our younger writers, possibly due to the greater rewards of success, make a great how-de-do about turning out a fairly long novel once every two years; and for this they must have European trips, Winters in California and Florida, Summers in Vermont and Maine, city penthouses and what not. What penthouses had Voltaire, who had time to write novels, plays, histories, pamphlets, letters by the thousand, encyclopaedias, what not; or Balzac of the monumental enterprisés; or Trollope; or Dick- ens, who punctuated three-decker novels with editing ! Jjournals, lecturing, play-acting; or Perez Galdos, who did five series of “Episodios Nacionales” in something like fifty novels? Can it be that our America authors waste too much time attending literary teas? Spain’s Alternatives. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The genfal monarch of Spain had scarcely left his country when the inevitable struggle for power broke out among rival republican factions. Political authority was transferred formally to a provisional junta of Moderate Republicans and Socialists, men of intelligence and imbued with a keen responsi- bility to their people and to vested economic in- terests. By its vigorous repression of disorder ‘and rejection of Communist overtures the Cabinet of Alcala Zamora has hown that it seeks a middle path between autocratic monarchy and proletarian- ism. . Yet the danger is great that Spain will swing abruptly to political and economic radicalism in the first blush of freedom. Labor unions in many Spanish cities have been the mainstay of the revolution, and some of them are definitely Com- munist in conviction. The bourgeois class in Spain is notorfously weak, so wide is the cleavage be- ween very wealthy and very poor. ~ No less serious, the machinery of administration in Spain is keyed to a highly centralized authority. Autocratic rule is the easiest way out, even for a Government committed to democracy. The tempta- tion will be very great to concentrate power in the hands of the professor-lawyer clique now in office. Primarily an agricultural people, and a people who live gracefully and leisurely, the Spanish cer- tainly are not suited to any collective theory of political organization. Moderate Republican lead- |ership, if it can fight off the extremists on either side, can institute reforms in education, agriculture |and finance which will lay the foundations for a stable, prosperous and democratic nation. But can It hold on to effective control of the country | through a period of chaotic readjustment and popu- lar upheaval? ——— L SO 3 l?oh Lucas is too funny, when he invites the South into the same hole with Hoover and the | Republican Party —(Atlanta Constitution) i P.-T.A.
