ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER | THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION .- e 5 A3 Ao ITALIAN VESSEL SETS ATLANTIC RECORD. Italians are jubilant and properly so over the new speed record recently set by the liner Rex in| crossing the Atlantic Ocean from Gibraltar to New York, coming but a few days after the brilliant feat of the great airplane squadron in a roundtrip crossing between Rome and Chicago. For the 3,181 sea miles from Gibraltar to the Ambrose lightship it required 4 days, 13 hours and 48 minutes. Her average speed was 2892 knots. Her longest day's run was 736 miles, for an average speed of 29.61 knots. The Rex thus set three new records—the fastest crossing, ths highest average speed for the crossing, and a new day’s run mark. The best previous record was held by the North German Lloyd liner Europa, attained last July, when she crossed from Cherbourg to Ambrose lightship in 4 days, 16 hours and 48 minutes over a course of 3,149 miles at an average speed of 2792 Kknots Previously the Bremen had crossed the Atlantic in 4 days, 15 hours and 56 minutes, but the course followed was considerably shorter than that used by the Europa which was considered the fastest| . ship. Officers of the Rex believe her time can even be bettered under favorable weather conditions. Most of the trip from Gibraltar she was in rough seas that piled up before a southwest wind. With a fol- Jowing wind or in calm weather the Rex probably ¥ could cut a few hours off this time, the fastest ever traveled for the entire distance by any mer- chant vessel. (“ANAI)A TO TAX TRUCK TRANSPORTS. That Canada will attempt to solve the long- discussed motor truck competition of rail lines be- fore the United States gets around to it was indicated recently in a statement made by Hon. R. J. Manion, Canadian Minister of Railways, to the effect that a nation-wide tariff on highway truck transportation will be drafted this Fall at a conference of Dominion and Provincial Government representatives. This is designed to bring about a system of uniform regulation of trucking companies competing with railways throughout the Dominion. While the Ottawa conference will deal specifically with uniform taxes on trucks throughout all of the Provinces, it is expected a discussion will develop on plans for Provincial public service commissions assuming jurisdiction over freight rate charges by trucks similar to jurisdiction of the Federal board of railway commissioners over rail freight rates. The Quebec Public Service Commission, for instance, already has been granted legislative juris- diction over truck freight rates, although it has taken no action pending uniform action by other Provinces in cooperation with Federal authorities. REMINDERS. The sorry pilgrimage that has been an after- math of the war is over. The last group of Gold Star Mothers has knelt by the White Crosses in France and is now back at home. In all 6669 have gone over to stand above the bit of earth their sons made forever American, as Rupert Brooke made his “corner of a foreign field forever England.” The money that it has cost has been justifiably spent. For with them, of course, the war is not yet over. The boy is still away. To have given them the opportunity to stand at the simple shrines which mark their sacrifice was the least the country could do for them; to have made possible for them those few moments of odd exaltation was no less than a duty. Now, coming back with their sorrow, they bring to mind their plight. They live on as reminders of the folly of gunfire, the stupidity of the bayonet and the everlasting futility of war. THE CHAMPION OF SILVER. Under the above heading the current number of | Engineering & Mining Journal compliments Senator Key Pittman, former Alaskan, for his valiant services | to the silver mining industry of the country. His| Jatest achievement, the eight-power agreement to restrict government sales and promote the use of silver, which is one of the concrete results of the| London Economic Conference, is but one of many that he has rendered. . His connection with the mining industry is given by the mining publication as follows: The bond of & gquarter centiry between the mining industry and this United States z Senator was forged in the early Klondike ° yush, Fortune subsequently took him to the mining State, Nevada, where he won and has ever singe retained his present of- fice. As the author of the Silver Act that bore his name, he exerted throughout its live a profround influence on silver mining in America. A changed world enlarged his ~ horizon, gave him a new task, and with A by i D, oG ) it greater opportunity. The recent agree- ment of eight countries to restrict govern- mental sales and increase the use of silver, is credited to his labors. Once again, the Senator scores for silver. A native of Mississippi, and educated in Southern private and sectarian schools, he migrated to the Pacific Coast in the last decade of the nineteenth century. He began the practice of law in Seattle, in 1892, two years after he graduated from college. After five years there, he joined in the rush to the Klondike, and after two years there went to Nome. He worked as a common miner in both camps. He took the part of miners in the cele- brated Nome cases and was first District Attorney there. He moved to Nevada in 1901, establishing his residence at Tonopah. He was first elected to the United States Senate in 1912 and has been there ever since. Senator Pittman has ever been a friend of Alaska, and always stands ready to assist its _ |Delegate to Congress in measures affecting its interests. Tacoma has unearthed a man that radio pains so greatly that he's been dubbed the ‘“human radio.” Radio affects lots of people that way and pouring water on their hands never seems to give them relief. Whatever may be asid about Huey Long's popu- larity in Louisiana in New York it seems to be something less than zero. Teddy Roosevelt never had any such a big stick as that wielded by F. D. through the agency of NRA. Commissioner Bell Has Confidence of Alaskans. (Seattle Business Chronicle.) Frank T. Bell, new U. S. Commissioner of Fish- eries, having returned to Washington, D. C. from Alaska where he spent several weeks investigating conditions and acquiring first-hand information, says in a letter to the editor of Business Chronicle: “My trip to Alaska was quite a revelation, and I would not have missed it for anything. I am sure I am in a better position now to do good work there, and to accomplish many useful things for the Bureau of Fisheries and the people of Alaska.” Editorial expressions in Alaskan newspapers show Commissioner Bell handled several “situations” with tact and ability, that he won the respect of the many diverse interests by the justness of his de- cisions, rendered only after giving both sides oppor- tunity to be heard and in accordance with the facts as developed at public hearings. As Governor John W. Troy's paper, Daily Alaska Empire, published at the Terrietory capital at Juneau, says: “Commis- sioner Bell has demonstrated repeatedly since he has been at the head of the Bureau of Fisheries in the past few months that he is fairminded.” As fishing is of such paramount economic im- portance to Alaska, and as it is so largely under control of the Commissioner, the people of Alaska evidently regard President Roosevelt’s appointment of Mr. Bell with approval. Welles Makes Good. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Sumner Welles was scarcely known to the public when he was appointed Ambassador to Cuba a few months ago. Today he is recognized as one of the ablest men of our diplomatic establishment. At 41 he not merely has achieved one of the most re- sponsible posts in our foreign service, but he has demonstrated his ability to handle a very intricate and very difficult situation with tact and firmness. Welles's record in Cuba is a final answer to those who assert that the career service turns out nice- mannered rubber stamps without ability to act for themselves. Mr. Welles was sent to Cuba with a difficult assignment. He was asked to reform the most autocratic government in the Western Hemisphere, and to restore constitutional government where there existed only terrorism and bribery, coercion and tyranny. Welles did not accomplish this alone. On the contrary, his role was secondary, for the Cuban people and the Cuban army managed the revolu- tion, as they should. But grave dangers to the United States lurked in the Cuban situation, and ‘Welles avoided implicating his Government. The outstanding contributions of Mr. Welles to the Cuban revolution were two. He made plain to Machado and his colleagues that the United States would not support him longer. And he brought, together the opposition elements and did much to make possible their united effort, which alone pre- vented a sanguinary civil war. Revolution and overthrow of Machado was cer- tain to come. Had the United States continued its tacit support of Machado the final upshot would certainly have been an extremist, anti-American fac- tion in power after a long period of strife dangerous to American interests. Instead the forces of re- volt were harnessed, the danger of an extremist government avoided, the necessity for American intervention eliminated. Mr. Welles has done a good job. And he is young enough that we may expect him to do many more good jobs. Plumage of the Male. (New York Herald Tribune.) ‘There was a time back in the era before the Waldorf was a glittering reality when men wore checks. It was a happy and naive time of paddock coats with mother-of-pearl buttons no larger than saucers, lavender spatterdashes and top hats with elegantly curly brims. Center Hitchcock, Ned Center and Evander Berry Wall evolved morning coats, stocks, waistcoats and smoking jackets that would have blinded Soloman, and on Fifth Avenue parade eyed one another as jealously as cats to discover how many buttons their rival was affecting on each cuff that season. The elder Mr. Morgan was reputed to have had all the uniforms for the Corsair’s sailors |made_at his own tailor's, and the business of being a well dressed man was a career in itself. And this was a time when checks were king. Tattersail waist- coats, spongebag trousers, Rhound’s-tooth pattern golf breeches, Glen Urquhart jackets and plaid greatcoats were all the rage for half a generation. Now checks and plaids are enjoying a renaissance. | The Prince of Wales and Douglas Fairbanks, Noel |Coward, Clark Gable and other popular arbitri elegantiarum are bursting into checkerboard raiment fit to dazzle all beholders, and quieter-minded busi- |ness men are following their lead with finer-pattern |plaids and overchecks. Probably it is the masculine complement to the fashions of Victorian origin now in vogue for women. In any event, it is a change |Irom dark worsteds and serges and sharkskins, and |we are eagerly scanning the boulevards for the first sign of a revived popularity of that ultimate in checked garments, the plaidecloth deerstalker hat. | | et men, as well as class rooms for UUT FUR NEw [the children. | " Plans for the various school Ll:inasngs will be completed within | | By MRS.

Gordon, Director of Edu- cation, of the Alaska Division. “Buildings varying in cost from $7,000 to $i5,000 will be built at Diomodes, Buckland, Unalakleet, Tetlin, Quigillinog and Douglas under the provisions of the N.R.A. With the excepiion of the school at Douglas, are all places where the planis have been destroyed by fire during the last two years and there are no buildings available at present,” Mr. Gordon said. Boxer To Sail ‘Plans have been sent out and the Boxer will be dispatched from Seattle September 15 transporting materials necessary for the var- ious schols. Wherever possible lo- cal materials and labor will be utilized in the construction,” he declarad. Wires have already been sent by Mr. Gordon to Diomedes to begin excavation and preparation of a site for the new building so that construction can begin the moment materials arrive on the island, in order that the work can be done this year. Due to the fact that there is no lumber on Diomedes Island, actual construction must await the arrival there of mater- ials, as is also the case in Unala- kleet, while logs are already being assembled for the log school house to be built at Buckland. Dougiss School In Douglas the Bureau plans to build a structure large enough for a community house to be used oy the Indian people for social pur- poses with shop facilities for the men, and stoves, looms and other materials to be used in hand work, cooking and so forth, by the wo- %/ days and work will be start- in Douglas within the next week or so, Mr. Gordon said. The amount apportioned to Alaska for these needed schools was $54,000, he declared.
