ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER FUBLICATION THE CONTROL OF LIQUOR. The promptness of the repealists of Washington State in pledging the public that a suitable law for controlling the liquor traffic will be enacted in time | to be effective when National Prohibition is wiped off the Federal constitution is timely and deserving of commendation. The possibility that repeal will be effective within the next 60 days is not by any means remote. That will compel every State to either retain Prohibition, if it now has a State dry law, to draft a new statute providing for liquor control, or to allow indiscriminate sale of liquor without any regulation. Yet is does not appear that most State Legislature are aware of their problem. Only six States have even taken steps to construct a suitable regulatory law. Connecticut is probably the only State which has on the statute books a thoroughly scientific and workable system for the orderly regulation of liquor. The Connecticut law was planned by a commis- sion of distinguished citizens, modeled largely on the excellent Quebec system, and represents a careful attempt to meet the social challenge of legalized liquor. It permits the sale of beer and wines in clubs and restaurants. Beer only is to be sold in taverns. And for liquor the citizens of Connecticut will have to go to a licensed store and buy a pack- age for consumption off the premises. Elaborate provisions are made for keeping liquor and politics separate. There can be no doubi that repeal will not solve our liquor prolem unless we adopt enlightened regulatory liquor laws. There is a wealth of data available now, in the experience of foreign countries. But a liguor control law cannot be manufactured over-night. Neither can a satisfactory law be had simply by borrowing outright the scheme of Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec or Sweden, or any other country. Suggestions can be drawn from foreign systems but they have to be adjusted to local conditions in each community. Washington State is not yet prepared to control or regulate the traffic in liquor. Its old State liquor law was repealed last November. If it is to meet the situation produced by repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, it is not too early to make a start right now in drafting a system for enactment by its State Legislature. Alaska, of course, has still the Alaska Bone Dry Law and will have until it is wiped off the books by Congress even when the voters of the country shall have administered the death blow to Prohibition. In the expectation that Delegate Dimond will be able to have the local statute repealed, the Alaska Legislature last Spring passed a law giving the Governor and Attorney General full power to make and enforce such regulations as they deemed sutiable and necessary to control the liquor business. FLIERS FIND RIGHT WIND FROM WEATHER FORECASTS. The way the wind blows is far more important to the pilot of an airship than it is to the pilot of a sailing ship. Boats have water, as well as air, for a medium of operation, while airplanes have only air. The set of the sail, not the gale, keeps the sailing vessel moving on its course. The air- plane, however, needs a tailwind for greatest speed. Aviators today rarely take off until they have consulted a United States Weather Bureau forecast which shows, among other things, what winds prevail at various elevations. As it rises from the ground, an airplane may run into winds, only a few thousand feet apart, that blow in exactly opposite directions over the same area. For example, not long ago a northbound pilot flying the Pacific Coast route with a 40-mile tailwind passed 4,000 feet below a south- bound pilot also getting a 40-mile tailwind. The inforation in weather reports enables fliers to find the winds that will help them most, or offer least resistance to their planes, thus saving fuel and time and keeping them bn their schedules. News of the winds is compiled at regular in- tervals by Federal meteorologists from reports of observers at the weather stations forming a closely connected network along the airways. Observations on wind conditions made with pilot balloons and theodolites (an instrument for weathermen adapted from the surveyor's transit) are relayed from station to station, and even to planes in the air, by tele- phone, teletype, and radio. Up-to-the-minute bul- Jetins on the movement of the air now takes the place of speculation as to what the wind may be doing at any time at any elevation along the air- BROMINE FROM THE SEA. One hundred and seven years ago, in 1826, Antoine Jerome Balard, who later became professor ummmnmmcmeueornmu.mmm " element known as bromine from the waters of the hmamnun Sea. He immediately set out to find fl’lmdmeuuolwodwnx bromine on an industrial scale. In the same fashion. He finally gave up because of the discovery of large deposits of bromine salts in Germany. Now, at Kure Beach, some 20 miles north of Wilmington, N. C. the first manufacturing plant ever to be constructed on shore for the purpose of converting bromine removed from sea water |commercial bromides is being built by two well- |known and responsible American companies. The output will be utilized entirely as a constituent of an anti-knock fluid for gasoline. In one cubic mile of sea water it is estimated there are about 600,000,000 pounds of bromine. there are many cubic miles of water in the Atlantic Ocean, so the supply seems inexhaustible. A large increase in the production of bromides in the United States is anticipated as a result of the enterprise, affecting not only industry but also national de- fense, as bromine is an essential element of certain tear gases used in warfare. The new plant, expected to be in operation within six months, is being built in units, each Ihaving a monthly capacity of 250,000 pounds of bromides. To produce 500,000 pounds of bromines per month requires the processing of sea water at the rate of 20,000 gallons a minute for 24 hours a day. Bear Defender Holzworth is making quite a record. He tried to crash the national' meeting of the Audubon Societies last year and was ejected. Now the Young Democrats have thrown him out of /their Kansas City Convention. Next, we suppose he’ll be trying his luck on the Fall gathering of the Amalgamated Union of Admiralty Island Brown Bears. Chicago baseball fans have at least one con- solation even if neither of the Windy City’s major league clubs can win a pennant. The Chicago entry in the American Legion’s Junior World Series brought home the bacon. Freight Rates and Prices. (New York Herald Tribune) The decision of the Interstate Commerce Com- mission refusing to order a banket reduction of railroad rates will, we believe, prove a popular one. The public attitude toward the railroads has under- gone a distinct revolution since the days when their chastisement on any pretext brought cheers. Now there exists a general realization not only that the railroads, of late at least, have been more sinned against than sinning, but also that, as the backbone of the country’s financial structure, every one has a stake in their well-being. However, the popularity of the decision is one thing, its justification quite another. For the latter the commission cites the fact that the present rate level is more than 20 per cent below that of 1920 and more than 10 per cent under that immediately following the rate cut of 1922. It expresses the be-| lief that present rates, as a whole, are “not de- pressing the volume of traffic or business of the country” and that with a blanket reduction “no greater than 10 per cent, unless there was a greater increase in traffic than now seems probable, and unless large additional Government aid were ex- tended, many more carriers would be forced into receiverships or reorganization, with consequent serious losses to investors in railroad securities, among whom are many savings banks and life in- surance companies.” While it is true, as the commission points out, | that the freight rate level “is still relatively higher | than the commodity price level,” it also is true that under the circumstances this is as it should be. | Freight rates under regulation do not rise in propor- tion when prices rise. On ths contrary they may follow an opposite course, as happened in 1922 and subsequently, since they are predicated not on busi- ness opportunity but on a fair return to the rail- roads. Why, then, when prices drop, should they be made to join the procession? Justice demands that if railroad earnings are restricted in a period of prosperity they should be protected in a period of adversity. This line of reasoning is implicit in the commission's dictum that commodity prices alone are not the controlling factor in determining the reasonableness of rates. It does the majority of the board credit. Wandering Lakes and Lost Cities. (New York Times.) While the Western. world has been worrying over its troubles, Sven Hedin's Sino-Swedish Expedition has been for six years, and over a “front” of 2600 miles, studying a part of the earth that has reverted to the desert. In small units these signalmen of science have carried on their researches and re- ported back to the main army of science their discoveries. One little group worked at an amazing height of 18,000 feet, making a special study of valleys where glaciers of the Ice Age once formed a great inland sea, which has left its beach lines high up on the hillside. Fragments of it still remain in “wandering lakes” that shift their places in the sands. One is mentioned which has returned to its old bed—a distance of nearly fifty iles—and brought back to life a city where Marco Polo once paused to make ready for crossing the Desert of Lop —in which, as he relates, travelers were led astray by spirit voices or sounds of varioys instruments especially drums. From another area word is brought that a lake has now returned to resurrect a city that once entertained strangers with such hospitality as the West does not know. There Marco Polo found a “noblest” of cities surrounded by a country in whicn were vineyards and farms and gardens, where there was abundance of everything—cotton, flax, hemp and corn—and where people lived by trade and handicrafts (but no warriors). Today only the broken clay walls of this deserted city rise in the midst of the desert. - “Lou Lan” will never flourish again as does “Lop Nor.” Animals new to science have been found, and rough flints dating from the paleolithic period of 500,000 ‘'years ago, which, it is believed, were fash- ioned by ancient man. His fossil bones may yet be found among his implements. But insects that |possessed the earth before man are still preserved in the rocks and the shells of ostriches in the desert, cut off, as is scientifically surmised, by the rising mountains—2,000,000 years ago. Such informa- tion gives our brief physical existences a new per- spective. But when the report tells how, in the midst of this organized quest for knowledge in the listening-posts of science, an airplane comes whirring down into one of the camps bringing a Christmas tree, archaeology suddenly becomes very human. Of course, when a man accompanies his wife to a lingerie shop, the NRA sign on the window simply means, “No rubbering around!"—(Chicago News.) Not even the authority of the NRA could re- store the languishing Eighteenth Amendment.— (Indianapolis Star.) 7 Have a little patience.

W. Lippincott, of the Lippincott Publishing Company, of Philadelphia, and Major L. Waller, also of Philadelphia, left this morn- ing on the Princess Louise to re- turn to the East. While hunting in the Yukon Ter- ritory for certain race specimens of mountain goat the two Eastern men were successful in obtaining the variety they desired after much search. Both Mr. Lippincott and Major aller got the limit of two brown be'u during their eight-day hunt on Chichagof Island with Joe Ibach and Harry Nelson as guides. They made the trip in the Yakobi, Capt. fom Smith, returning to Juneau yesterday morning. “Though I have hunted in many parts of the world, I have never seen country as rough as that en- countered on Chichagof. We en- joyed the hunt tremendously and are going home satisfied with the results,” Mr. Lippincott said. In addition to the game pro- cured, Mr. Lippincott obtained a fine collection of rodents for the American Museum of Natural His- tory in Philadelphia in which he is | interested. GEN. A. D. MRAE AND MINING ENGINEER LEAVE FOR SOUTH Gen. A. D. MacRae, Member of the Canadian Parliament, who is greatly interested in mining, and Ira Jorleman, mining engineer, left |on the Princess Louise this morn- ing for Vancouver, B. C., after spending the last three weeks look- ing over mining property through- out the Territory. They made the trip to the In- terior in a Pacific Alaska Airways Fairchild about the middle of August, and covered much of the | Interior country by plane, stopping at various mining properties in which they were interested. They made the trip to Skagway from ‘the Westward with a plane of the | Gillam Airways and were met there |by an Alaska Southern Airways | plane which brought them to Ju- |neau. While in this vicinity, Gen. MacRae and Mr. Jorleman have visited several mining properties. ——,,— ESTEBETH IN PORT Molmshp Estebeth has arrived in port with the fellowing pas- sengers: From Hoonah = George Jones and Sam Edwards; from Sit- ka—C.

Kenneth Osborne had met Hi- sar, the great composér, and the latter had arranged three of the: marches composed by the Juneau boy since he went East, and they were to be sent to a publishing house immediately. The young man had recently been very en- ccuraged by the kind attention and advise of the composer. Paul C. Land, Jr., who had been visiting with his sister, Mrs. E. H. Kaser and Dr. Kaser and their family, planned to leave for his home in Seattle on the steamer Dolphin. Mrs. W. E. Nowell with her chil- dren returned from an extended visit in the States, on the Ala- meda. The forms were all set and the concrete taking shape for the first, or basement, floor of the new municipal building. The build- ng was to b2 rushed to comple- tion as rapidly as was consistent with good work. Architect Richard Wulzen had prepared the plans ac- cording to the tentative scheme as outlined by members of the City Council. The building was to be 40x80 and three stories in height. The fishing patrol steamer Os- prey, belonging to the U. S. Bu- reau of Fisherles, arrived from Wrangell with Ward T. Bower in charge of the fisheries service in Alaska. Mr:. Bowers stated that the canning season for 1913 was practically over, there remaining but a few canneries that were fin- ishing the fall end of the season’s work. It was the earliest closing of the packing season for South- east Alaska in the history of the countty, he said. He estimated that the pack for the year would be a quarter of a million cases short of the year before, the total pack for the whole of Alaska would be about 4,080,000 cases. The money you spend on a washwoman 52 times a year; the cost of soap and wash- ing utensils that have to be frequently replaced; the wear and tear on clothes far greater by home methods; the possible illness due to unsanitary processes or over- taxing of your own vitality . . just add these up and then compare the result with our low-priced laundry serv- g Laundry ' Salmon Creek served here with and to which re- ference is hereby made.
