ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. ON THE ROAD TO PROSPERITY. The jubilance of corporation stockholders over | th~ dividend score sheets of the past four weeks| finds an echo in the sentiments of the more than| 3,000,000 men who have been put to work this Sum- mer since the Roosevelt Administration launched its recovery program. If it is three years since most of the companies earned any dividends, it is equally as long since the newly re-employed workers had any regular paychecks. Both stockholders and com- pany employees have a right to rejoice. Nothing should stop us now. Those few discord- ant elements that have been standing out agalnst the President’s NRA codes should heed the advice of Gov. Alfred E. Smith for “universal coooperation in a fair trial” of the movement. Failure, as he emphasized, means at least another long seige of idleness for millions and no dividends for stock- holders. But we shall not fail. We have advanced sufficiently far along the road opened up by the| Administration to carry us to within sight of pros- perity dead ahead. Recovery has attained that stage where it would take a greater shiock to check its progress than is likely to occur. A blow to public confidence, harmful as it would be, could do no more than delay us. President Roosevelt, his aides, most of industry, business, agriculture and labor have united in tackling the most formidable job any nation ever set for itself, but by their past and present per- formances under the indomitable leadership of the President they have demonstrated that they are capable of finishing thé job.. More than 3,000,000 workers have been put back at work in the past few weeks. More millions are on their way. Those were not empty words when Gen. Johnson said he would put 6,000,000 persons back on the payrolls through the NRA campaign. Restored agriculture and the Government’s public works program, will do the rest. Already the country is feeling the effects of increasing employment. Steel production is climb- ing back toward normal. Automobiles are selling faster than for four years past. Private construc- tion is reviving. Stores are reporting just enough gains in business to wipe out that stubborn margin between loss and profit. Even newspapers are re- porting greater advertising space sold, all of which is evidence of added business impetus. PROVING THE AMERICAN TRADITION. Elisha Lee, Vice-President of the Pennsylvania Railroad and reputed to be one of the ablest trans- portation executives in the United States, who " |because he came from its ranks himself. Idied recently in New York at the age of 62, leaves a career that again demonstrates the American tradi- tion that industry and genius will carry one to the top no matter how humble the beginning. Mr. Lee began his career with the Pennsylvania as a rodman and rose steadily through the ranks to the next to the highest position on the system. He was Vice-President first in charge of operations and |then became aid to Gen. W. W. Atterbury, Presi- dent. He was a director of the system, of banks, insurance companies and other corporations at the time of his death. He was always persona grata to labor, probably He par- ticipated extensively in labor disputes and held the confidence of the unions as few rail executives have. Here again is an exemplification of the opportunity that exists in this country for the individual with | ability who will apply himself to his task. | LOTTERIES FOR REVENUE. There has been considerable discussion in Great a national lottery fer the purpose of bringing to the Government additional revenue to finance its dole system and other forms of unemployment relief France has already such a plan in effect as a result of action recently by Parliament. The first draw- ing will be held on Armistice Day, November 11 in the Palace of the Trocadero at Paris, following the sale of 10,000,000 tickets at 100 francs ($5.83), a- plece. There are five main prizes and 100 smaller ones and the winners will be millionaires at least in francs. The profits from the lottery will be devoted mainly to meeting payments to war veterans. A news story gives the cheering news that the supply of medicinal whiskey will be tripled in 1934. But you want to remember that there's apt to be a lot more sickness by that time. A scared caretaker of an Eastern estate spent four hours shooting at dead monkey. Imagine what a time he would have if he were turned loose in a zoo. Slender Harvests. (Boston News Bureau.) The prowess of crop curtailment's mightiest al- lies has just been forcibly shown. They are drought and heat, and they have scourged the harvest fields with a long unbroken ferocity. The extent of that ravage, spread over much of a continent, is appraised in the Government’s crop report based upon conditions at the advent of August. It portrays the devastation in the harvest . fields as the hot waves of this past season traveled from West to East. Corn and wheat alike suffered. Virtually the only redress was that apparently the maximum of damage had been wrought in wheat prior to July. Last month Winter wheat actually improved a pittance of 4,000,000 bushels, while the Spring wheat promise decreased a single million. The total yield of exactly a half-billion bushels of all wheat, Winter and Spring, is easily the lowest in more than a generation, or since the 427,000,000 of 1893,—40 years ago. In 1915 the total reached as high as 1,025,000,000 bushels, and over many intervening years ranged well above 800,000,000. The present half-billion indi- cation is also sadly shrunken from the five year- average in 1926-30 of 861,000,000. Here is the direct primary reason why wheat is now selling a little above a dollar a bushel—for such farmers as have it to sell. Likewise we had nationally become accustomed to seeing our great farm crop, corn, approaching three billion bushels. Three times it actually cross- ed that magic line by slight margins, in 1912, 1917, and 1921. Now the promise is reported as low| as 2,273,000,000. This is distinctly below the 1932 harvest of 2,876,000,000 bushels. The story is rcpeated in oats, which often had held up when other major crops languished. At 667,000,000 bushels the indication is far from under the five-year average of 1,090,000,000, and one has to go back to the eighties to find a total down near 700,000,000 Here is also the cause of our milk shortage. 2 ‘This deterioration is believed to have continued into August; and Canada’'s Spring wheat also has grieviously suffered. Dame Nature has done our “curtailing” for us. SLANTS ALAN GOULD cate, 14 each ofi and Howard Ehm] “What about countered. “I mi off him.

Things about which some furor may be made in the prints of the record book or among the fans do not seem to register any lasting memories with the performers themselves. Ninety-nine out of every 100 box- ing fanatics who recall the Demp- sey-Firpo fight, either by hearsay or as an eye witness, dwell at much length on the “mighty blow” by which the Wild Bull flung our champion right out of the ring into the lap of Mr. Jack Lawrence, then on the staff of the New York Tribune. But Dempsey will tell you, as he has told me, that the hardest blow he took in that fight was the very first punch that Firpo land- ed, a right to the jaw delivered as they rushed from their cor- ners. In fact Dempsey says, he saw at least three Firpos for the remained of that hectic first round and on that basis he floored each of them 2% times. RUTH’'S MEMORY FAILS Most any small American addict knows more about the details of the great G. Herman Ruth's clout- ing records than the genial Babe himself. 3 I put him the same query that had been handed to mé: “Do you know how many homers you have hit off Lefty Grove or what pitch- er you hit for the most homers o : o e He couldn't even make a guess. I told him the count was nine cal I could not dispute the great man until I took another dive into the record gooks, finding that unless the official scorers had as- | tigmatism Ruth collected only four homers off Walberg in 1927. THE BABE “FIXED HIM” There's a classic story told about the days when Ruth was a great left-handed pitcher for the Red Sox, mowing his enemy down with speed and rare control. The Babs had instructions be- tween innings to “dust off” one of the opposing batsman expected to come up in the next inning. He was given the name and nodd- ed in complete agreement and un- derstanding. As it happened this particular batsman was replaced but it did- n't mean anything to Ruth any- way. He followed orders any- way, “got his man” and then came to the bench chuckling: “Well, T guess 1 fixed so-and-so the way you told me, didnt I?” JUNIOR GOLFERS SHINE SOUTH BEND, Ind., Aug. 25.— Indiana may have a crop of gold stars on the nation's links in the future, if the showing of a field of 123 in the State Junior Ama- teur tournament means anything. ‘Thirty-eight out of the field broke a score of 80 in the opening round and a 320-yard drive was record- ed by one of the players, Joe Nemeth. — e Old papers for sale «, Empire. following a gasoline explosion on his fishing boat, which also par- tially destroyed the boat. Diamond had his boat moored alongside the cannery oil dock on Eyak River and was siphoning gasoline from a tak on the dock to the fuel tank on his boat. Dia- {mond was standing in the cabin of the boat in which a coal fire was burning in the stove. As he pulled the hose out of the tank to ascertain the amount of the gaso- iine which had run in, wind caught the fumes and blew them towards the cabin where flames from the stove ignited them. The tank| aboard the boat exploded as well| as several drums on the oil dock. Gasoline saturated Diamond’s| clothes and he was enveloped in| flame. He jumped overboard to save himself. The boat was also| set on fire and was sunk to save| it. Diamond clung to the cut bank several yards down the stream and was picked up and brought to town. He is now being treated at tht Cordova General Hospital. Diamond had all of his personal belongings on board the boat, as well as a complete salmon fishing| gear. All of this was destroyed, involving the loss of about $3,000. — e — Advertisements spread world products before you. HUNTING FOR PORPOISE HAS EXCITING END Costume Style Furnished, Silk Lounging Robe, Bedroom Slippers Henry A. Bundschu, of Kansas City, Missouri, declares that the proper costume for porpoise fish- ing consists of a silk lounging robe and a pair of bedroom slip- pers. And Mr. Bundschu should know, since he caught a 200-pound porpoise the other evening while attired in just such fashion Mr. Bundschu is a member of a party of five aboard the yacht Nooya, owned by Campbell Church Jr., and captained by Henry Dur- ham. The other members of the party are Paul Patton, of Kan- sas City, B. Cartwright, Dr. N, P. Larsen of Honolulu, and Paul Vernon, of Brooklyn, New York. Mr. Vernon left the yacht here -to return home by the Princess Louise. Porpoise Episode The porpoise episode occurred in Chatham Straits. Mr. Bundschu was almost ready to retire when he heard a shout on deck. Upon going to investigate, he saw the rest of the party looking at some porpoise.’ Immediately, they de- termined to catch one, and Mr. Bundschu put on the porpoise fishing harness while Dr. Larsen shot the mammal with a shotgun harpoon Complications Unexpected compiications ensued. The porpoise took out through the sea, which was very choppy and rough, and reeled out about a quarter of a mile of Iine. The small boat was lowered into the waves, and the fishermen entered into the spirit of the occasion with the determination to catch that porpoise if he led them all the the way to Japan. After almost an hour of play| with the light rod and line, Mr. Bundschu was able to tire the ani- mal until he could be brought alongside the vowboat, which all the time was pitching and tossing They re- turned to the yacht, and it was almost all three men could do to lift the porpoise aboard. The party arrived in Juneau last evening and left again this morning at 10 o'clock, expecting to return here in a couple of days. The cruise, however, will last about two more weeks S eee SALVATION ARMY HE. TO MAKE VISIT TO NORTH | Commissioner James Hay, who is responsible for the work of The Salvation Army throughout New- foundland, Bermuda, Canada and Alaska, plans on visiting Alaska the latter part of October and the first week of November, according| to word received by Staff-Captain| J. Acton of Wrangell. The Commissioner has been an officer for fifty years, and has been in charge of the work in many countries, including New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Great Britain. He was principal of the International Training College in London, for several years. e e el BEAR ELECTROCUTED A cub bear climbed a pole which was charged. with 33,000 volts of| electricity at Fairbanks. The cub| was shocked and dropped to the ground in much faster time than he reached the top. He was dead,| of course, when he landed.
