Aviation eoni panies are planning ;ui-m- ail and transportatioii service to the ter-ritory from the United States. While in Fairbanks the MIA party was taken to the Lsthei Creek district, where they view-ed the luu'.o mild tuimnn dredr-nif- i operation of the' United States Smelting Minnu; and f! eoinpany and the Fair-banks Exploration company. Dredging operations are work-ed by placer mining. There is a 30-fo- (average) frozen top-so- il that is washed away by an 80 pound pressure stream of water. Underneath the 50 foot gravel bed, which contains the gold, is reached. To loosen the frozen gravel it is necessary to drive pipes four feet apart into the bed and thaw it by forcing water through the pipes. The gravel is drawn on to the dredge by two scrapers connected to drag-lines and gold extracted by placer methods. territory of Alaska is 32,-- ll res in size or one-fift- h f t'"' l'nited StalCS- - Tho 1 Jon at the present time no of which approximate-'- $ hilf .s Indian.

It is 1;esthat this would be an highway, but as AJas- - and very friendly. On an average ('ai'h dog is used for five years and then killed. During the "win-ter months the dogs carry the rangers on their trips through the park and north country to check on wild game poachers. Sometimes these trips take two to three months. Looking into the valleys on our trips to Mt. McKinlcy we could see trails followed by dog sleighs during the winter. Our next stop on the return to the coast was made at Palmer in Matanuska valley, where the United States government Mata-nuska valley agricultural pro-ject is in operation. Two years ago farmers of the middlewest and their families were sent to the valley to colonize it. Each family was given a home, 30 acres of ground, barn, imple-ments and all essentials neces-sary. Farmers are to pay back this money over a long-tim- e pay-ment plan. A wilderness of fir trees and underbrush was clear-ed away, the government agree-ing to clear all stumps after the farmers cut off the top growth. At the present time 1G3 farms are in operation in the colony, a few vacancies will be filled and the remainder of 200 tracts abol-ished. It is estimated that each farm cost the government $32,-00- 0. AH farmers at the Matanuska project are required to sell their produce through a cooperative market. The products are pooled and sold and the profits split. Walter G. Pippel, a colonizer, de-cided to leave the cooperate and sell his produce independently, saying he could get a better price for his products from independ-ent stores in nearby Anchorage. In May of this year injunction proceedings were brought Mr. Pippel by the U. S. government. On May 13, 1939, Pippel was enjoined by court from planting a crop on govern-ment land and selling his pro-ducts of the farm in competition to the marketing association. Our short visit in Anchorage, a city of 2500 population, was a pleasant one. Anchorage is ap-propriately named the "Hub of Alaska", for here is Alaska's outstanding base for commercial aviation, center of summer and winter air-ma- il services of Alas-ka, base of the greatest coal fields of America and center of rich placer gold fields of Cook Inlet, supply base for Matanuska area, airways base for Bristol Bay, greatest salmon region of the world. Anchorage appears to be Alas-ka's most modern city, being dif-ferent to the extent of being laid out on the souare. While in this city we were feted at a barbecue by the Chamber of Commerce and other civic clubs. This ban quet was unique because they served barbecued bear, venison, caribou, mountain sheep and moose along with rainbow trout caught in nearby streams and vegetables from Matanuska val-ley. Following the barbecue 21 of us were given a plane ride over Anchorage. On the return voyage to the States short stops were made at Valdez and Cordova. At Sitka, the old Russian capital, which has a population of 1500, on the western coast of Baronof island, we made a trip through the old Russian church, St. Michael's cathedral. Few churches in the world are so elaborately decor-ated as this one. Thousands of dollars were spent on gold and silver ornamentation and tapes-try decorations. The U. S. gov-ernment recently completed a federal building at a cost of $156,000 at Sitka, which appears to be the most commercialized city in Alaska. The citizens of Skagway really put on a show for the NEA group. During the two months prior to our visit practically every man in this city of 600 people let their beards grow. When we docked 90 per cent of the people were at the dock dressed - in clothes fashionable in the gold rush days of '98. Skagway resi-dents, with cooperation of the chamber of commerce, gave us the best day's entertainment that we had on the entire journey. Blanchard's flower gardens were one of the beauty spots of importance. In these gardens are grown some of the largest flow-ers found anywhere. For exam-ple,, pansies given us were 5 in-ches in diameter. In the after-noon the townspeople reenacted the shooting of "Soapy" Smith, a character who ran rampant in Skagway during the gold rush days of 1897 and '98, who was fatally shot by a young engineer and vigilante, Frank Reid. As re-sult of the gun fray Reid died from a bullet wound. "Soapy" Smith was buried outside the cemetery with a mod-est marker on his grave, while the grave of Reid, a hero, is all enclosed and has a seven foot marker. At Petersburg we were guests of the Chamber of Commerce at a sea food dinner. Here we met Earl Ohmer, the shrimp king of Alaska, dressed in his high top boots, ten gallon hat distinguished by well trimmed whiskers. Mr. Ohmer is the biggest owner of Yukon mink in Alaska. Metlakat-la- , a small Indian village located on an island, is unique in that there are no automobiles or streets. The population is almost entirely Indian, and their liveli-hood is obtained from a coopera-tive salmon cannery. Alaska is truly an empire in itself, and with its sturdy, indus-trious people, is sure to progress. the average take in gold is 25 cents per cubic yard, It cost the U. S. Mining company $11,000,000 to bring water by tunnel 9G miles for dredging op-erations. At present 726 men are employed by the company. Seven dredges are now in operation at Esther, Gold and Diamond creeks. The convention group visited the University of Alaska, the northernmost college on the North American continent. Last year 244 students were enrolled at the school and approximately 612 courses were taken by cor-respondence. Engineering and agriculture are two leading cour-ses at the university. Many stu-dents from the slates study engi-neering here. Creamer dairy, the best in the entire territory, is also at Fair-banks. Cattle in Alaska are fed 6 to 7 months out of the year on feed raised by dairy operators during the short summer. Cows are kept in barn for six or sev-en months of the year because the temperature drops so low that their lungs will freeze if they are exposed. The Creamer dairy has one barn which cost $20,000 and beyond a doubt was the cleanest I have ever seen. Milk sells for 25 cents a quart at Fairbanks. Mrs. Charles Cream-er, operator of the dairy, told me that her nephew won the $70,000 pool for guessing the closest time of the Tenana river ice breaking two years ago. The Tenana river break is Alaska's biggest sporting event. A ticket to guess the time costs $1. The ice breaks anytime between April 28 and May 15. Time of the break is determin-ed by placing a tripod in the Te-nana river with wire stretching from a restaurant time clock. When the block of ice with the tripod moves enough to stop the clock, the second at which the clock stops indicates the time of the break, and the winner of the pool. It is at Camp Eielson that a good view of Mt. McKinley, high-est mountain on the North Amer-ican continent, towering 20,300 feet above sea level and visible over 100 miles on a clear day, may be had. This mountain has a perpetual cover of snow and ice the year around. About 85 per cent of the tourists who go to McKinley fail to see the moun-tain because of inclement wea-ther or low-hangi- clouds. At McKinley park hotel we visited a nearby ranger station and saw teams of dogs, huskies to the Alaskans, and sleighs they pull. The husky is a large dog Mrs. E. J. Cowdell was hostess to the Kopperette Klub at her home Tuesday evening.

The BnmiglhLam Bulletin TeU Tfaeirm . . . Last year $200,000,000 was spent in 30,000 beauty shops in this country. Did the shops piling up this grand total leave it to chance that their customers though needing their services would .find out from hearsay where they were or what new treatments of face or scalp of hair were available? They did not. Ajid furthermore the bigger and better shops in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago are the best I someone says, "their business helps people appear their best." So is your business or profession a "helping" business or profession. If it isn't you won't be in it long, advertising or not. Think of your business not so much as a way of making a living as in terms of human helpfulness and the ads you write uiill have a new attracting power. People know you are practicing your profession or working hard at your business to earn a livelihood. I But do they know all the ways in which your being on the job in Bingham Canyon can be helpful to them? Every store has things for sale that few people think of. Every profession has ways of serving which are not sufficiently well known.
