Looking over the daily news from Washington its
hard to find any record of activity in Alaska afians.
Possibly the Alaska delegate is too busy lining up the
vote for the next campaign.
new air monsters
Germany's Graf Zeppelin is at present the world's
largest airship. England will soon complete two which
will exceed the Graf Zeppelin in size. But the largest
aircraft ever designed are now being built for the Unit
ed States Navy—two super-Zeppelins with a gas capaci
ty of 6,500,000 feet each.
The relative size of these monsters of the air may
be imagined by comparison with the present Los Angeles
with 2,500,000 cubic feet, and Graf Zeppelin with 3,700,
000 cubic feet.
The new American ships will have a maximum
speed of about 85 miles an hour, with a cruising radius
of between 6,000 and 8,000 miles without refueling. Each
will carry a number of airplanes which may be launch
ed w’hile in flight.
These twro great ships promise to be the monarchs
of the air for some time to come—until Uncle Sam or
someone else builds a bigger one.
Alaska is a great place to meddle with the soil
in the summer time. The sun gets up early and stays
late calling the spud and the wheat stalk and the cab
bage by their first names and cuddling and trying
to make love to them. But the old vagrant, he doesn't
remain constant and wre have to gather up the results
in the fall and stor* them in the cellar.
If some of these fireside orators could forget for
a minute that Russia is liable to keep on rushing and
that Manchester has plenty of man power, and would
put some shovels on their shoulders, we would soon have
some new pay streaks in Alaska.
There's a little nest .over in the corner of ..Arcade
Park and the mother bird is pleased as Punch as she
spreads her wdngs over the youngsters and father
perches on the fence and warbles a pean of joy. You
sure got to give it to them. They're tending to their
own business.
All this argument about evolution seems to get no
where. Any bootlegger can make a monkey of us in fif
teen minutes.
MINING PROSPECT GOOD
Travelers coming in from the
Portage Passage country on Prince
William Sound, report that the pro
perty being developed there by the
Harry Sutherland interests, is
showing up in an encouraging
manner. The mines are gold quartz
locations and are said to be show
ing evidence of good pay, a heavy
vein having been uncovered recent
ly.

er, Mrs. H. Kulper, at Portland. De
ceased was 80 years of age and was

On deep ravine; ice bound

At Time’s beginning

Grim in its grandeur;
Crushing:—its forces vast;

Almost beyond enduring
j Await we, impatient to enter
While the gods scan our fit

Yearn we to hear, “Let them
