Again we say if Alaska is to grow and prosper, Alas-I

imported; products inedible $409,756; biscuits and crack
ers $174,248; fodder and feeds $127,503; vegetables and

A vessel constructed during the World war has been
used as a target and sent to Davy Jones’ locker, with
the apology that it was never much good anyhow. The
further one gets from the World war, and the more
closely one studies its aftermath, the more pertinent be
comes the inquiry as to what good the entire effort ac
complished.

WIRELESS IN AFRICA
Recent advances by the science of wireless telegraphy j:
are making it possible to abolish distance in the French ;
African colony of Cameroon in one of the few regions of !
the world which have still to be explored completely. _
A full system of wireless communications now exists j
in this part of West Africa, a twelfth wireless telegraph j
station having been put in operation by the local authori-;
lies a few weeks ago. Short-wave transmission is being j
employed.
At the same time, a system of two-way wireless con
nections has been established between the Cameroon and
the group of colonies comprising French Equatorial Af
rica. This system handles both official and private mes
sages.
These two steps represent completion of the essential
features of a program first instituted 15 yeasr ago and
indicate how wireless telegraphy has been combined with
airplane services to permit rapid communications in an;
undeveloped portion of the globe.
Prominent Chicago manufacturing men have or
ganized in an effort to induce the Federal government
to stop competing with private enterprises. Their argu
ment that the government collects taxes and uses the
funds thus realized, to put out of business the men who
pay the taxes, is worth thinking about. Big business is
not popular with the masses, and the centralized Federal
government should see to it that it does not become the
most powerful and flagrant offender.

Hall Caine, English novelist, is dead. His enduring
monument is a shelf of books that were at the same time
srood sellers and free from smut. There was little in his
writings that, at the close of his career, he might wish
to erase. Novel readers are afflicted With the efforts
of a popular present-day school of authors who cannot
hone for the same light at eventide.

Returning Sourdoughs on the SS Yukon complained
the skipper failed to stop at Prince Rupert where the
Scotch does not wear kilts—or doesn’t kill.
What’s wrong? Some say we do not have proper
law enforcement, yet our jails are overcrowded.

EGEGIK RIB RAPIDS ji
ARE A GREAT HAZARD j
BBISTOL RAY TRAVEL j
I
_ I
A Westward resident, in writing j
to The Gateway, says: “Some- j
thing should be done about the ]
Egegik Rapids and about the road j
already built by the Alaska Road i
Commission. It is approximately J
seven miles from the high tide at j
Kanatak "to Lake Bacharoff by j
land and the rest of the way by i
water to Egegik on the Bristol J
Bay side. J
“The road to Lake Becharoff as J
far as it goes, is in fair shape but i
it should be changed in spots and t
should be extended to the lake J
a distance of approximately one- J
half mile. It is now finished as i
far as Ruth Creek and from there (
an nothing; and in case of low J
water, boats can’t get up that far- j
“The narrows are approximately j
50 miles from Egegik and are bad i
for about 100 yards- They were \
surveyed this year by the foot and J
m effort should be made to have j j
the necessary money appropriated ; i
for blasting them out. There is J
more and more travel between J
Egegik and Bristol Bay and Kana- J
tak, as it is the nearest point they i
:an catch the SS Starr from the | j
Dutside; and there is always dan- j J
*er. Some natives won’t take! J
hteir boats thru at all”. j

LOCAL GOLF T0URN1ME1Tj

- ,
Mrs. R. A. Hall took the lead in 11
he local golf handicap tournament; J
yesterday when she turned in her j i
final card showing a score of 501J
for the last nine holes. With her | J
handicap, this makes her total «
score 114, two points under Charles j
Eainveather and Clark Andresen, J
who are both tied for first place J
with a handicap score of 116. ■
It is thought that Mrs. Hall’s J
,ead will be only for a short while, i j
is the local big game hunter and ; i
sharpshooter. D. E. Valade, has J
turned in several low scores and his ; j
^ards should be in today, bringing j
his score below the leader.
The Gateway is informed that D. ]
E. Valade played the nine holes yes- '
terday in 45 but is unable to give
his total score.
A. D. Balderston, the Seward.
Golf Club president, is due to re- 1
turn this week and any players that
wish to turn in their final scores
should do so before his arrival.
Turn score cards in to R. A. Hall.
The cup will be presented by Mr.
Balderston shortly after his return.
Boats in port today include:
Cableship Dellwood, Roy, Marian,
Joan, Bavaria, lattery, T-3048
