SEATTLE AIRPLANE MAN
TO SEND MACHINE NORTH
— ■ i.
Accompanied by Clive Runnels of
Chicago and Oliver Spencer of Se
attle, W. E. Boeing, Seattle air
plane manufacturer, owner of the
Boeing Airplane company, is mak
ing a six weeks’ tour of Alaska on
his yacht, the Taconite. They made I
a leisurely trip north through the;
inside passage, stopping at various
bays and lakes where fishing is good.;
It is Mr. Boeing’s intention to
bring an airplane to Alaska next
summer. It is his belief that it will
not be long until an airplane mail
service is started to Alaska, and
the people of the North will be re
ceiving mail from the East nearly
as soon as it is received in Seattle.
With aerial mail service it would
be possible to cut the time for de
livery of mail down from days to
hours. Such a service has been
agitated by various Alaskans for
the last several years.

jTEXAS WHEAT CROPS
WORTH TWICE THE
VALUE OF THE LAND
---
AMARILLO. Tex.—Bumper wheat
! crops, which are assured in this
i district, are causing a unique situ
ation as regards crop values and
the present prices of land. In many
! instances the crop will yield as much
{as twice the value of the land. Ona
^farmer near here recently purchased
j 120 acres, which was planted in
j wheat, and his yield, as now esti
| mated, will more than double the
i price paid for the farm and im
iprovements. Some farmers are as
: sured of 50 bushels to the acre,
ian almost unheard of yield in this
district.
Although for a time it was
thought that a shortage of labor in
harvesting the crop would entail
{great losses, this question seems
'to have been solved. The United
- States employment office here has
! secured the necessary number of
j men from the East to handle the
J situation, it is said, and with con
jditions remaining normal the full
i yield will be saved. The crop in
;the 32 counties comprising the Pan
handle of Texas is valued at be
tween fifty and sixty millions.

The price of moonshine in the
Tolovana district has advanced con
siderably as a result of the recent
visit of Special Liquor Officer John
Moe, and the arrest by him of two
of the camp’s alleged leading pro
ducers of the stuff that cheers.
When Moe went into the district, it
was possible to buy the home-made
brand for $7.50 per bottle, but now
it is hard to get at any price, the
lowest quotation being $10.
The former Fairbanks saloonman,
who turned sleuth after the terri
tory went dry, went into the Tolo
vana several weeks ago. and after
he had been there awhile, rounded
up two offenders—Cy Xobie and
Eddie Brown—both of whom ad
mitted their guilt and paid fines,
the former being assessed $500 and
the latter a couple of hundred less.
The stills were stilled.
I
Moe was a passenger on the
steamer Carl White, arriving from
the Tolovana last night on his way
to Fairbanks to take the rest cure.
And while there he will prepare for
another invasion of the district for
the purpose of continuing his in
vestigations.
Xobie is said to have sold his es
tablishment at West Fork and the
place is now being conducted under
the management of Henry Klein
schmidt, who recently returned to
the Tolovana from Xenana.

INFERIOR AUSTRIAN
CURRENCY IMPEDES
SERBIAN BUSINESS
BELGRADE. Serbia. — The chief
difficulty at present is the financial
situation, says Colonel D. M. Stew
art. of the United States army, re
tired, who has investigated the eco
nomic situation in the new Jugo
slav kingdom for several large Am
erican corporations.
“The immense amount of inferior
currency in circulation, at least
seven million Austrian kronen, has
impeded establishment of trade,” he
said. “American business represent
atives have no difficulty in obtain
ing orders. The trouble comes ir
the proper solution of the problerr
of payment.”
Steps have been taken to estab

this country and America.

AVIATOR SEES FIRE;

BUILDINGS ARE SAVED
ONTARIO, Cal.—An army aviator
who discovered a big brush fire as
he was flying over the ranch of 1.
C. Smyth, near here, recently,
turned his plane back to the city
and by signals informed the On
tario fire department of the blaze.
Mr. Smyth, whose home was in
danger, had tried several times to
summon the fire department by tele
phone, but, owing to a strike of
operators, was unable to do so. A
chemical engine responded to the
aviator's appeal and _ the ranch
house and other buildings were
saved.

$ ADVOCATED BY
SYDNEY, Australia. — Admiral
Viscount Jellicoe preached a policy
of preparation for war in some of
the speeches he has delivered here
while visiting Australia to inform
the Australian government concern
ing matters of naval policy.
‘•When discussions take place on
such subjects as the League of Na
tions or the question of limitation of
armament, I trust it will never be
forgotten that the existence of the
British Empire depends absolutely
upon the safety of its sea com
munications,” said Admiral Jellicoe
at Sydney, where he addressed the
Navy League. Before the war. he
said, Great Britain suffered from a
lack of sufficient ships to guard the
long lines of communication be
tween London and Australia, and.
he added ,“it is up to the British
j Empire to see that we are never in
w*ant of sufficient policemen afloat
in the future.”
Speaking of the ‘‘deadly risks
run in the last five years.” the ad
miral said, “one can only hope that
in the future sufficient provisions
will be made both by the mother
I country and by the overseas do
minions to insure the impossibility
of defeat of the British navy.”
After giving some information to
show how long it took Great Brit
I .
ain to prepare for Germany's sub
marine campaign, Viscount Jellicoe
isaid: “The lesson I am trying to
'preach is preparation for war. I
would like to say very seriously that
! it seems to me the conclusion is
■forced upon us that the British Em
pire depends now more than ever
upon naval supremacy.”
