ALASKA’S GOOD YEAR
Records of the customs
district of which Seattle is
the principal port, show a
substantial increase in the
value of goods shipped to
Alaska this year
Cargoes sent to the north
ern territory up to Novem
ber 1st were valued at $28,
-006,120, while for the cor
responding period of 1934,
the value was $24,688,972
The salmon canning inr
dustry used a considerable
part of the goods and equip
ment shipped from this dis
trict but by far the larger
values were in food, mach
inery and supplies for Al
aska mines..
Evidence accumula t e s
that Alaska not only had a
good year but that the out
look for business and indus
try is highly encouraging..

Economic Issues First
(Detroit Free Press)
While it is true that tile
system of government
which the nation has nor
mally enjoyed,that is a fact
too far removed from the
immediate necessities of
men and women, and too
little realized by them, to
catch many votes..
What the average voter is
most interested in is mak
ing a decent living for him
self and his dependents..
The political party which
gives the greatest promise
of enabling him to do that
will get his vote..
And that being the case
it will be the pressing eco
nomic issues of the day,and
not the Constitutional issue
which will determine the
action of the electorate at
the polls

quiet here of late that folks
are beginning to suspect
she has slipped back into

Basque Hardest
Of All Tongues
Learn, Is Stated
(By The Associated Press)
Paris, Dec. 12, —Profess
or Watson Kirk Connell of
Wesley College, Winnipeg,
Canada, who has studied
the problem for years, as
serts that Basque is the
hardest language to master,
and he is acquainted with
54 others.
No fewer than 800,000
Basques in the Pyrenees
mountains, about half of
them on the French side,
“live and move and have
their being” in this strange
tongue, the origins of which
they themselves cannot ex
plain. Learned professors
for decades have by anal
ogy and deduction tried to
relate Basque to Hebrew,
to Japanese, to Celtic, to
Arabic, but without suc
cess.
“The Basques do not
merely button their words
up the back as other people
do", Professor Connell says.
“They also have prefixes
and suffixes and infixes, and
exceptions are more numer
ous than rules. By the time
a word gets out nobody can
recognize it, not even its
own mother.”

have you tried
COMAX COAL?
COMAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv
er Island Coals Limited, producers also of the fam
ous Ladysmith Coal. We brought in a sample sup
ply of COMAX COAL on the recommendation of
Mr. H. R. Plommer, General Manager, who visit
ed Nome last summer.
After investigating local conditions Mr. Plom
mer advised the introduction of COMAX COAL
on the ground of Economy and Efficiency. He pro
duced facts showing considerable saving compar
ed with oil burning. COMAX COAL is extremely
high in heating value, and because of its strong
coke qualities, is long-lasting. It is not recommend
ed that this coal should be used except in those
places where a healthy draft is available, and in
this regard it should not be inferred because the
draft is on the fire, that the fire is burning to
waste. Of course, if the heat is not required there
is no purpose in exciting a fierce fire, but if requir
ed the more of the oxygen from the atmosphere
that can be consumed with the coal, the better
the results.
