It is marked up as an air tragedy, though there is still hope. Unfortunately, these accidents outside world an Alaska that is unworthy air travel. It is difficult to find the answer, but everything of even minor nature in Alaska is glorified in the States. One man losing his life in a plane crash in the North draws more comment in the States than a transcontinental air liner falling and killing several on some of the more established lines. It is probably due to the fact that the vast majority have only a story book knowlege of Alaska. ‘Their minds are still trained to the gold rush day when as a matter of fact the Territory great progress. Some day Alaska will be taken into the fold and judged at its true value but in the meantime, the Territory must struggle along under the cloud of being something particularly dreadful.

Rex Beach, who is, despite his quarter of a century away from Alaska, a true son of the North has a theory that is worthy of serious consideration. The now famous author who went into the North when times were rough and man made only what he could find sees the possibility of sending youths to Alaska to ferret out gold and other metals. Mr. Beach suggests that under the Na- ional Youth Administration a sum of money be de for outfitting and equipping these young- sters to go into the wilderness under the supervision of some experienced prospector and lccate claims that are worthy of development. It is an idea worthy of real consideration. stead of 200 prospectors, as the writer points out, 2,000 tial prospectors might be put in the field hus tap the great resources that Alaska In- college young men States waiting for something to do, as If these young men could be put e is no telling what they mu,hl time in Beach ¢ into the . his true potentialities are revealed. has ‘made YOU Were luc valuable ' are marking THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 28, if they had an old timer along valuable dpeosits when he saw| | uncover, especially who would know them This project, would not be a charity but a subsistence Mr. Beach declares.

Now normal expectation of a tire is frem 20,000 to 25,- 000 miles, and you are disappointed when it does not exceed that. In fact, tires that have run from 40,000 to 50,000 are not unknown. For that matter, the automobile itself has been improved in about the same measure. Shotguns and rifles are so much better than they were that wud life has scarcely a chance These new fowling- pieces fill the air for an area of 30 square feet with shot. How can a duck get away?
