Entered in the Post Office in Juneau as Second Class matter. ROBERT W. BENDER - - TABLE OF WIND SPEEDS. Everyone has wondered at some time approxi-| mately how fast the wind was moving. If you can feel it on the face, is it blowing a mile an hour, ten or twenty? When it blows down trees it is blowing forty, fifty or seventy-five miles an hour? In answer many inquiries the United States Weather Bureau has devised a rough and ready guide to wind velocities, that anyone can use, given in the table below: { | 1 mile an hour—Smoke rises vertically.

To credit him with aiding in obtaining substantal Federal funds for public works of many kinds, including roads, trails, airports, streets, sewers, parks and other public improvements, is not to detract from the work done by Delegate Dimond in obtaining allotments. The utmost degree of cooperation between them has been the finest y example of teamwork in our history. ? No Governor of Alaska has ever had so much 1 work thrust on him, and none, we believe, has performed it more cheerfully or with a more single-minded aim of making it benefit Alaskans. We are sure that everyone will join with us in wishing that his remaining years of tenure as Governor will be as successful as the first has been. It is bad enough when a nation closes its doors to the commerce of other countries, as many States have done in recent years. It is infinitely worse when a nation chooses to close its doors to the ideas and opinions of the world at large. Recently Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler revealed that the work of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was stopped in Germany as a result of the Nazi Government's policy toward it. One could ask for no more decisive proof of the unfriendly attitude of that government. If the Carnegie Endowment were truly a pro- paganda agency, if it preached an internationalism incomptaible with national strength, or if its leaders were in any sense radical, one might comprehend the action of the German Government. But, in fact, the Carnegie Endowment has confined its efforts to spreading factual information concerning inter- national relations, and its leaders have embraced an internationalism which is in no way derogatory to modern nationalism in its temperate phases. It is preeminently a conservative organiation. Yet the Hochschule fur Politik at Berlin was taken over bodily by the Nazi Government and changed from a liberal school of international rela- tions into an instrument of jingoistic nationalism. {To continue the lectures on the Carnegie Founda- tion would be to invite friction. Another link be- tween the intellectulal life of the nations has been severed. Germany is primarily the loser by this, JOBS HERE ARE LIMITED. Reports that thoughtless, or worse, persons are victimizing labor in Seattle by “selling” them jobs in Alaska are thought for serious study. From Ket- chikan comes reports that workers, without funds, are landing there from Seattle expecting to find jobs they had paid pseudo cannery foremen in that city. Another report from Seattle said an advertise- ment has been appearing in a local newspaper having all the earmarks of being a pure “come-on” |but the whole world suffers somewhat. scheme of the cheapest variety.

Troy's prompt move to investigate and promise Return to a more enlightened policy must come to check them is well-timed. Immediate action is from within Germany, not from pressure on the necessary.

If oil was found on Scathborne’s property, she feared for the Rio Diablo dam. “Max, I've got to get Cunard.” 94 word to IL was the one thing that could stampede the dam workers; the one thing Judith feared. Had Scath- borne actually found definite trace of oil, or was this just another of Lampere's ideas to destroy the har mony in Big Tom Town? Still at the table, she confided to Max what had happened and he sensitive to her foresight, agreed that Cunard should be notified at e e ® No Argument! ® No Statement!

The quietness of harmony lay there. A single figure was plodding uphill | with a peculiarly determined gait. Judith watched, expected him to turn in at one of the camp tents, but be plodded on towards her. Not until he was even with her porch did she recognize him and when she did, she felt a rush of fear. “Mr. Scoggins,” she cried, and see- ing the expression of his face, what’s wrong?” “I'd like to talk to you, Miss Ju- dith,” he said, his voice worried; like to talk over some business with you.” “Come in . . . take that other chair; you'll find it more com- fortable.” “I ain't lookin’ for comfort,” he answered, slowly, “not for myself.

INDOOR SKI-JUMP IS MINNEAPOLIS’S LATEST THRILLER MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April 20 ~—Indoor ski jumping, a novelty in sports, will be offered patrons of the Northwest Sportsmen’s show here early in April Two famous jumpers, Anders and Lars Haugen, will perform on the first indoor ski slide ever built in this country.
