ALABKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER HAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. - TREMENDOUS SOURCE OF PROGRESS. The announcement that the Alaska Juneau will pay dividends at the rate of 6 per cent. on the par value as against 5 per cent. at the present time is assurance of the stability of this great property.| In spite of the larger dividend the company will continue ta‘ | add to its growing surplus which is already large| enough to take care of planned develpoments. The Alaska Juneau plans to increase its tonnage and the value of its recoveries at a date not distant. ji That will mean the expenditure of a considerable | ! portion of its surplus in this community and in- ' creased employment in the course of time. Juneau people cannot over-estimate the great ! value to this section of this wonderful property and its magnificent organization. It is a tremendous| | source for progress. UNION GOVERNMENT PROPOSED. Down in British Columbia the papers and people are discussing a union Government to consist of a Cabinet in which there would be representation for both the Conservative and Liberal Parties. Premier | Tolmie, head of the present Conservative Govern- ' ment, has invited the Liberals to select some Cabinet members to join him and form a bi-partisan (or Union) Government. But T. D. Pattullo, leader of the Liberals does not take kindly to the suggestion. He declares that the Tolmie Government is on its last legs and ought to give way to the Liberal Party. He insists that if there is to be a Union Government it ought to be formed at the invitation of the Liberals. All of the papers that are in favor of the pro- posad Union Government admit that the present Conservative Government led by Premier Tolmie is tottering, and some of them say that Tolmie has failed. ‘The Vancouver Province, Conservative, which is among the sponsors of a Union Government re- cently said: If Mr. Pattullo, upon genuinely negotiat- ing with the other side for the formation of a Union Government, should become head of such a non-party administration, we shall be very happy to give him the support his program deserves. The Prince Rupert News, Liberal, said: Mr. Pattullo is now irecognized as the legitimate successor to Premier Tolmie and he is the man, who, with the consent of the people of the Province, will dictate the terms of any coalition, should there be one. Continuing, the Prince Rupert paper, said: It seems to be generally admitted that the Tolmie Government has failed. In view of that, why should the same Cabinet be perpetuated, either as a unit or as any- thing approaching a controlling factor in & new Cabinet? It can't be done. Mr. Pat- tullo will be responsible to the people who elect him and he cannot carry out his policies if he is to be hampered by men who have shown their inability to deal with the Provincial situation during the past four years. . . . . Should Mr. Pattullo agree to a coalition with himself at the head, it will be for him to dictate the terms and to make sure that he is not going to be hampered in his work by any strings. He is today the strongest man in British Columbia and his opponents know it. That is why they fear him. ' RADIO REPORTS AT HEIGHT OF 0 MILES. Radio meteorographs are the newest devices for bringing down to earth information on atmospheric conditions high above the clouds. Several of these instruments have just been calibrated by the United Btates Weather Bureau and sent to Alaska for use * Polar Year which started August 1. compact radio sending apparatus. It is attached to a balloon for release at any desired point. As the balloon rises the changes in barometric pres- and in temperature cause a metal finger to across various contact points, thus transmitting The observer on the ground below with a recelving set and, calibrations of the instrument previously made, corresponding temperatures and ”motmnmnhum Attached to mflu.muuncmacmey not likely to be seen again. The radio meteoro- graph was, therefore, designed for use there. Atmospheric records at all levels up to about four miles can be obtained by pilots in airplanes. To get records at higher levels, however, balloons are necessary. They go 10 miles or more up into |the stratosphere before they burst. Radio meteorographs are designed to promote that part of the polar year program which calls for a determination of the relationship between weather conditions in the polar regions and those in the lower latitudes. They will also help toward a better understanding of the general circulation of the atmosphere over the earth. The progress of science in Naval construction is evidenced by the fact that it now costs $4,000,- 000 to build a destroyer. There was a time when they cost about four for $1,000,000. An Eastern anti-bonus newspaper says at least thoughts of bonuses and pensions are doing more ! to prevent future wars than all the pacifists in the land At least Juneau has her Alaska Juneau Mine. That is a cure for pessimism without any further doctoring. Foreign Place Names. (New York Times.) One f the evidences that we have come into a consolidated world is a United States Government report about the spelling for foreign geographic names. It has just been published by the United States Geographic Board—a pamphlet of 113 pages for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Wash- ington, for ten cents. It furnishes “rules” for of- ficial use in the United States, but should incident- ally have a place in every school and library in this Republic. If only there had been added an- other hundred pages by some Homeric earth-wand- erer who had seen “the cities of many men” (begin- ning with Aachen and ending with Zwolle) and learned their manners, it might easily be the “Book of the Month.” By concerted effort and with the help of the! radio, uniformity of pronunciation of each language may some day be effected, though even in our own country the English language is not uniformly spoken. When the spelling of place-names within the United States and England does not suggest the pronunciation which generally prevails in the region concerned—when, for example, Worcester (Mass.) and Wooster (Ohio) are pronounced identically— how, it is asked, can we expect to respell the names |of foreign cities in order to indicate the pronun- ciation? Since children are required to learn many words not pronounced as they are spelled, it is suggested by this board that they should be taught to pronounce the increasing number of names in foreign countries “without systemically respelling them.” Gijon is Hehon, Jaroslaw is Yafoswaf and SYNOPSIS: Nan Weare has at last secured Ferdinand Francis as an ally in her strug- gle tc protect her husband, Jervis Weare, from the mur- derous designs of Robert Leonard. She explained to Francis, who has recognized her as the girl who, ten years ago, saved Jervis from drown- ing, that what Francis -had thought an accident, really was Leonard’s first attempt on Jervie’ life. Jervis does mnot believe Leonard desires his life, He has acked Francis to join Nan Weare and himself at Weare, his country place, CHAPTER 16. “WE’'VE MUFFED IT!” “Well,” said Robért Leonard. | N othlng Venture by Patricia Wentworth ‘him believe?” Her voice mocked him. “Hold on—I'm getting there.

And it would turn him against the girl if he believed he'd been tricked into marrying her.” “1f!” said Rosamund. “Well, he might.

We don’t want any little Weares, you know. That ‘would put kybosh on the en- tire affair. Rosamund turned sombre eyes upon him. The blue seemed to have gone out of them, leaving them bleak and grey. “I wish to heaven I'd gone on through with it and married him." “Do you?” asked Robert Leon- ard, “Yes, I do,” she said. .“What's the good of pretending? We've mauffed it, and we're in the soup. You know it as well as I do.” Robert Leonard came deliberate- ly over to her and put heavy hands upon her shoulders. “That's enough about that!” he “Rubbish!” She looked rather wearily over iher shoulder. “I have to be very careful when | | |Szeged is Seged. To recognize on the map the names of cities and countries now heard around the world by radio is a new requirement of world | citizens. | One bit of practical advice will be welcomed byi those who frequently write to other countries. To! insure prompt delivery of letters abroad, the address | should be written “in the language of the country to which the letter is going,” but the name of the country should be in English form—thus, Livorono, Italy, Instead of Leghorn—as a letter addressed in| Italy to Salt Lake City is “likely to be delivered| more speedily than one addressed to Citta del Lago! Balato.” The decisions of the board ‘“supersede all prev- lous decision,” and while no private citizen is obliged to act in accordance with them, his letter is more likely to reach its desired destination—for example, Ouagadougou in French Africa—if it is spelled as now proposed, rather than in the transliterated form Wagadudu, indicating its pronunciation. Encouraging. (Anchorage Times.) Alaskans have reason to rejoice in the fact that more and more attention is being given to mining in the Territory. The present season has witnessed a remarkable revival of activities in num- erous districts, with more individual mining under way than for a considerable number of years. Low- ered transportation costs and improved methods of operation have made it possible to bring long- abandoned low grade placers into profitable produc- tion, capital is displyaing lively interest in gold quartz development and there is a lot of energetic prospecting under way. Oldtimers of Alaska will never abandon the hope that another gold strike will be made some- where in the Territory some day but in the mean- time the general revival of activities is mot without its reward. Oldtime placers which could not be made to pay in pioneer days are yielding profits this summer and the active areas are being ex- panded steadily, with a constantly increasing num- ber of small outfits in the field. These expanding operations mean increased prosperity for the Terri- tory, and increased prosperity means more money for development. Once under way, it is a sort of self-propelling forward movement which needs only an unobstructed highway to insure continued pro- gress. We Must Stop Fighting. (Bremerton News Searchlight.) We must keep up our fight for reduction of Federal expenditures. It is a battle royal and it has only begun. Every man and woman in this country owes it to himself or herself, to the tax- payers of the country, to the economic life of today and tomorrow, to take up and keep up this fight. How long can this Nation endure when it spends in a single year more than twice as much as it receives? How long will a representative Govern- ment endure when its representatives seem to think more of their own political seats than they do of n obtaining facts for the Second International|tne people who keep them there? | Taxation is a means toward an end.

But taxation cannot be pushed beyond reasonable limits. Disaster in one form or another then takes place. 3 The better way—the business-like way—is to cut and prune and slash. Members of Congress cannot do the impossible, and no sensible person expects it. All demand that they do the sensible, reason- able thing. ‘The sun went into eclipse and recovered.

She simply lapped it up.” She came up to one of the big chairs and leaned against it. “What about June Manning Temple?” “I got off the same piece her. She said I was a saint.” “Well, that's all right,” said Leonard. “I noticed she made a bee line for old James Mulroy as soon as you left her, and be- tween 'em they’ll do all the broad- casting that's necessary.” All at once he turned to the tfll::g and put down the empty TIt's been touch and go over| “I've to “I suppose—" he said in a con- sidering wvoice. “I suppose you couldn't work off that piece on Jervis, could you?” Rosamund stared at him. “Jervis married this girl to save the cash.

I'm going down too. You can stay here if you like.” “The Tetterleys asked me down.” He seemed to consider that. “Quite a good plan. We had better not be seen together again for the present.” Rosamund put her hand to ner head. She pushed back the heavy gold of her hair and let her hand drop into her lap again. Then *he said without looking at him. “What are you going to do?” “Mind my own business.” She stood up at that. “I think it's my business, too.” She went to the table under the lamp and, jerking open a drawer, pulled from it a sheaf of papers. “Bills,” she said. ‘“Today's lit- tle lot! Would you like to have a look at them?” “No thanks—I've plenty of my own.” “Exactly. And what are we go- ing to do about it? I've got this house until the end of August.
