COMMUNICATION IN ALASKA
(Seattle Times)
Misgiving expressed by a few east-:
ern newspapers as to President Hard- I
ing's Alaskan trip because at its most j
distant point he might be unable to
keep in touch with the Grvernment at
Washington are not justified by lacts.
The Chief Executive on his trip can
maintain connections with the I/a-1
tion’s capital as easily as he did in I
his sojourn in Florida last winter.
While at sea he will have at his dis !
posal the radio facilities of the trans- ■
port Henderson and at every port of
call he can make use of flu marine!
cable. On his railroad and automo-1
bile trips into the inturrnr parts of
the Territory he always will have
available overland telegraph lines.
Means of communication are afford-!
ed nearly all parts of Alaska. The ra-!
dio system extends over the greatest |
area. Nine wireless stations extend
ever the coastal area and arn main
tained by tue Navy. Tie.; ar»* pow
erful and are in contact with large
si?’Jons in ihe States. Fourteen radio
sta’ions, both on the coast and at in
t(:ior points ar*- under control of the
Army. * * • "n. te wi d'-ss stations
at remote Eskimo villages an* oper
ated by the bureau of education and
one station is n.a ntained by the Gov
one station is maintained by the Gov- i
ernment railroad at Anchorage.
With the exception of the tele
graph system operated by the Govern
ment rairoad from Seward on the
coast to Fairbanks in the interior, all
telegraph lines are in charge of the
Army. They reach from Valdez on
the coast by way of the Richardson
Highway to Fairbanks, thence to Fort
Gibbons and Nulato.
The cable system also controlled by j
the Army extends from Seattle to ;
Seward touching at all the principal |
towns in Southwestern and South
eastern Alaska.
Most of the time the President will i
! have the choice of all three systems—
radio, telegraph and cable. Infre
quently he will be limited to only two
but never without both. Throughout
his entire trip the President will be
in intimate touch with the seat of
government at Washington, D. C.
CORRECT THIS SENTENCE
Oh, mamma,” wailed the small bov
‘‘I would rather be dead than have my
curls cut off.”
Just as soon as we are able to make
both ends meet some one comes along
and moves them.
One good thing about the recent hot
weather in Seward. The butter will
spread easily.
A heading in the Literary Digest:
“Do Fishes Smell.” We’ll say they
do.
A father never gets excited when
he discovers one of his children miss
ing; but watch him if he loses a col
lar button.
We have a man in Seward so
grouchy he deliberately eats things
that do not agree with him.
If a vamp wishes to test her pow- j
ers let her marry a man and try to
keep him home nights.
The reason ideas get into some of
our heads slowly in that they have to
be wedged in between prejudices.
Two more days until the President
comes. The man who was raised with
him will be conspicuous by his ab
sence.

SPECTACULAR ACTIVITY OF Kl
LAUEA IS DANGER SIGNAL
HILO, Island of Hawaii, July 10.—
The present spectacular activity of
Kileauea, the ever active volcano on
this island probably indicates the rap
id approach of a great outbreak of its
sister volcano, Mauna Loa, accord
ing to the Hawaiian Volcano Re
search Association.
The activities of Mauna Loa wrhich
rises 14,000 feet above the sea level
occupy a cycle of rougly nine years.
It is upon this that the society bases
its indications.
In the immense fire pii of Kilauea
floods of molten lavor are wrelling up
from unknown depths now and this is
said to be a certain indication of the
rising of the lava within the Mauna
Loa crater.
Slightly more than a year ago the
active throat of Kilauea collapsed and
presented to the spectator a terrify
