As the result of the road system, the completion of the Alaska Railroad and the furnishing of coal to the waning gold fields, and as a result of the stimulus afforded by the increase in the value of gold, the Interior is booming.

A tremendous high grade quartz } deposit has been found in the Goodpaster half-way between the Fairbanks and Fnl(\ Mile. The old camps seéparated by the bound in Yukon Territory are picking up. As a result of all this the Governor of the Yukon, Dr. Jeckell, tried to effect some co- operation with Alaskh in the construction of that part of the International Highway be- tween Dawson and the Forthy Mile. He even proffered the use of road construction ma- chinery. The Territory of Alaska, however, could not cooperate. There were no funds And so three dredges in the Forty Mile were without summer transportation except pack horse with a cost of 20 cents a pound The Goodpaster ledges are 100 miles off the Richardson Highway and can never have a road unless the existing appropriations are at least doubled.

Perhaps the policy of formal neutrality officially adhered to by all the Powers has thus far served 3 “an improvised safety curtain,” to prevent the spread of the Spanish conflagration. That defense of the jactivities of the international neutrality committee in London made by Foreign Minister Eden in the House of Commons on Thursday, would be more re- assuring were it not that, screened by this curtain, foreign aid for both sides—the ‘Rebels and the Go ernment—is now intensifying and prolonging Spain’s AL LEN I’l(‘l\fl 'EM RIGHT Jim Fariey may be the greatest election fore- caster in the nation, having hit it right on the nose, but Robert S.

There are no ifs, and or buts about this prediction. The President’s re-election was a certainty a month ago—in fact admitted privately by men close to Gov- ernor Landon. In the last two weeks the G. O. P. retreat has =eveioped into a rout and today every indication points to another landslide triumph for the President. Two hundred and sixty-six electoral votes are required to elect. Four years ago the President crushed Hoover with & total of 472 to 59. The President’s vote this year will be as good as that—and maybe better.

That’s faster time than Magellan, Drake, Phineas Fogg or Nellie Bly ever dreamed of making—and think how famous they are. Yet Mr. Ekins is now right back where he started from, and so are we all—except Mr. Ekins' two rivals, who are still in the Western Pacific, drifting along apparently in a couple of outrigger canoes. The sad thing about progress as exemplified by Mr. Ekins’ trip is that the easier it becomes to go around the world in a hurry, the less reason there 150 to go around the world in a hurry, or any other way. ‘When men had to row and walk about the earth kings, statesmen, traders, raiders and scientists risked their lives and spent their years dragging themselves from place to place.
