WHAT PROFESSOR
SAYS OF ALASKA
HERSCHEL PARKER THINKS
MUCH OF FUTURE OF
THE NORTHLAND
(From Portland Telegram)
The government railroad in Al
laska will open up 400,000 square
miles of territory, much of which
is possible dredging land. Its pos
sible gold contents is hundreds of
millions of dollars.
This is the opinion of Prof. Her
schel Parker, who for twenty-one
years was professor of physics and
engineering at Columbia University.
Professor Parker was graduated
from the Columbia School of Mines
in 1890. He has made numberless
trips to Alaska, three times in an
endeavor to ascend Mt. Mckinley
He was successful in the third. ,
Professor is headed for Anchor
age where he will meet a partner,
and together they will investigate a
number of dredging properties. It the
results are not good there, they will
continue into the Broad Pass.
“There is a tremendous area of
possible dredging ground in the val
leys through which the railroad is
projected,” said Professor Parker.
“We expect to locate a place and
d0 some drilling. Belmore Brown
and myself oi) our McKinley exep
ditions mapped about 5,000 miles
of this country. These maps have
been included in the reports of the
United States geological surve.
“There are many streams min
ing into Susina and other rivers
ers that carry fairly good pay
streaks and there is every reason
believe tha^ the rivers themselves
contain good values. We will make
sure by drilling, however, the area
of possible dredging ground is en
ormous, and the railroad will make
Jt available for development.”
Prof. Parker, who was the inven
tor of the helioscope, or submarine
searchlight, and of the minature
submarine, does not hold Henry
Ford, te peace protagonist in very
high esteem. He maintains that
Ford, the peace protagonist, in very
away things that he does not own the
specifyic thing he refers to being
Proffessor Parkers idea for mlna
ture submarine to be used in coast
defense, which Ford generously
gave to Secretary of the Navy
Daniels.
“I had sent the plans to Ford
wi)h the view of having one built.
I thought Ford would be interested
in it from a patriotic standpoint,
and suggested the boat be called
the Ford of the Sea. I had a let
ter of acknowledgement from his
secretary.
“Some time later I discovered
Ford had privately presented my
plans to Secretary Daniels. Ford
at first denied having received the
plans, and when shown the letter
of acknowledgement from his sec
retary, dropped the whole thing
and became imbued with the peace
idea. I’ve lost faith in Ford.
“There is no money in war pat
ents. In the first place, if a man
has any sense of patrioism, he must
give hig idea to his country, and
any other nation can. steal it, as
no patent holds in time of war.’»

now being ued by the British gov
ernment in conjunction with Prof

SALONIKI A STY OF SQUALOR
Saloniki resembles most ports of
the Eastern Mediterranean in being
a picture of beauty from a distance
and a sty of squalor near at hand.
The sailors on board the warships
in the gulf look at it through the
morning mists and envy the soldiers
that are quartered there. The sol
diers stumble through the muddy,
rough paved, ill-smelling streets
and wonder why a sailor with a
comfortable wardroom to live in
should ever want to come ashore.
It is in fact a slattemlyLevantine
town in a beautiful medeaval set
ting, comely in the mass, unpleasant
in detail.
As you survey Saloniki from the
water it has a dignified air that ac
cords well with its historical re
renown being set in stately isolation
upon the steep slopes of its bare
hills and girdled by ruined but still
massive walls that rise to a great
Venetian citadel on the landward
side. Graceful white minarets that
the Turks built are sprinkled about
among the houses,and the quay, that
is the chief street of the town,
lined with picturesque Greek sail
ing craft, .stretches for a full mile
along the water’s edge. But ashore
shut in by the narrow street of the
“Frank quarter,” your vivid im
pression of squalor and slovenli
ness soon makes you forget the
graceful picture from the sea.—G.
Ward Price.
RFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
GIRL
(By Helen Rowland, in P.-I.)
If it is true that we shall know
our own husbands when we meet in
paradise.it will be more than some
of us ever did here on earth.
There are just two reasons why a
man is tempted to deceive a woman
one is because she is suspicious of
him—the other is because she isn’t.
Man is the "bad little boy” of the
human race, who receives a medal
and a sugar plum everytime he does
anything he ought to do; woman
the “good example,” who receives
a black mark every time she doesn’t
Once uqon a time a man shudder
ed at the very thought that a
sweet, delicate your.g girl might
have rouge on her face; nowadays
he carries a debutante’s vanity case
for her and calmly holds the mirror
while she assembles her complexion
and repairs her “girlish color” bet
ween dances.
Before marriage a man says,
“What makes you so beautiful that
every man tu'rns to gaze at you?"
After marriage, “What the dick
ens have you got on that every man
turns to stare at you?”
"Inspiration”: The thrill which
some men get from poetry, some
from love some from religion and
all women get from a looking glass.
—
A husband may claim most of the
brains in the family, but he is al
ways perfectly willing to give his
wife a “comer” on all the moarls.
