FIREPROOF VAULT NEEDED AT COLLEGE
If the next Alaska legislature wants to go down in
the Territorial hall of fame all they need do is to make
an appropriation for the construction of a fireproof
vault for the Alaska College. The public would be sur
prised to know of the vast amount of historical relics,
museum specimens and Territorial records now in the
possesion of the College and the many valuable contribu
tions which could be obtained were a fireproof vault a
part of the College. Of these latter is the collection of
books of the late Dr. Brooks, head of the Alaska Geolo
gical Survey for so many years and of whom is said
knew more of the vital statistics of Alaska than any man
past or present.
The history of Alaska will one day be written ± rom j
the records of the past and today. Does it not follow that i
no expense should be spared to preserve these records?;
Petty application of rules and regulations epitomizes |
the cause of many people becoming discouiaged a.nd>
moving away from Alaska. Yet there is still hope for the j
day when wisdom will supplant the present system and>
emancipation will come. Then we may lift up our voice j
and shout the full glory of the greatest of all frontier
countries.
When our friends, the Congressmen, return home
they will be able to relate in all truthfullness of the gieat
Alaska valleys of rich and productive soil along the Alas
ka Railroad Belt. Alaska’s possibilities are not known
even to Alaskans, because of their immensity and diver
sity. Alaska can support a population of many millions
YOUTHFUL SWISS IRE
ITTEMPTING ATLANTIC
FLIGHT TO HEW YORE
LISBON. Portugal, Aug., 19. (TP)—
Two youthful Swiss fliers, Oscar
Kaeser, and Kurt Lue-cher, took
off from Jungal at 1:30 eastern
standard time in an attempt to
make a westward crossing of the
Atlantic.
It is considered doubtful that
they will reach New York without
refueling. They are planning to
stop at Halifax for petrol. They
also planned to fly over the Azores
but will not land unless necessary.
The plane is named “Young
Switzerland”.
SIXTH-NINE INJURED
-COLUMBUS, O., Aug., 19, (TP)— '
Sixty-nine passengers, crowded on
a Pensylvania train enroute here
from Cleveland, were injured; some
seriously. Five of 12 coaches were
derailed near Condit. A split rail
is believed responsible.
There were 600 passengers on j
board, mostly excursionists.
BRAKES FAILED HOLD
SIXTEEN IRE INJURED
NEW YORK, Aug., 19, <7P)— An
electric train crashed into a 12-ton
bumper at the Long Beach termin
us injuring 16 persons; three seri
ously. The motorman said the
brakes failed to hold.
Those seriously hurt were Mau
rice Levin, 60; Mrs. Florence Doel
ger of New York, and, Mrs. Emilia
Simth, 44 of Valley Stream, L. I.
RUNS ALL WINTER
Apparently a new comer and one
who did not know Alaska, dropped
into the office a few days ago and
inquired when the last train from
the Interior came into Seward this
fall.
PUCK BOTTLE
REVIVES MEMORIES
OF FORMER DOVS
I NEW YORK. Aug., 19, (/P)— Pierce
Malone, National’s speed-ball mas
ter from Chicago, revived memories
of 20 years ago when he engaged
Larry Benton of the Giants, in a
duel. The two pitchers were al
;most completely master of each
| others supporting cast which
I might have been Brown against or
Pfeister against Ames from the
Iway the two wove the spell.
With a 1929 jackrabbit ball Ma
lone’s victory edged his team mates
half a game further from the nurs
ing Pirates who idled. Malone al
lowed five hits as against four by
Benton.
