OUTSIDE COAL FOR WESTWARD
Another instance ofl where Alaska coal operators are
losing a local market is seen in the recent discharge at Un
alaska of four hundred tons of coal from the transport
Vega for the Bureau of Education. From Unalaska the
coal will be taken to Atka and distributed in other out
flung Westward points.
This illustration of Outside coal brought into the Ter
ritory in quantity serves to impress Alaskans of where
the government in some instances, is working in competi
tion with itself, and at the same time handicapping the
developers of the Territory.
The Pacific American Fisheries ship Redondo was;
also observed last month dispatching coal at the King,
Cove Cannery.
The canneries of Bristol bay consume large quan
tities of coal and it seems a pity that with Alaska's wealth |
of coal it must be shipped in from the States.
THE LEGION AND THE VOTE
The American Legion is to begin next month a nation
wide campaign to get out the vote in November. The leg
ion doesn’t care how the vote goes, and it is not concen
trating upon candidates or issues. Its object is to increase
the number of people who take the least part a conscien
tious citizen can take in the conduct of government. As
matters now stand, this is a popular government by a
small minority of the qualified voters. Only half the vot
ers go to the polls, and in many cases the choice is deter
mined by one-third of them.
The legion has entered an interesting field. This un
known vote holds in its power the destinies of the country,
if it can be aroused to action. It could at one election over
come the political boss vote, which is herded to the polls
to vote as ordered, and bring about a radical reform in
every community where the government has fallen into
the hands of corrupt men and women.
PLEASE, GERTRUDE!
We were deeply interested in Gertrude Ederle’s con
quest of the English channel and in her own story of that
accomplishment. Furthermore, when in the future Ger
trude Ederle has anything to say about swimming we
shall read it carefully. But we do not think this 19-year
old girl’s opinion on other things, such as the French debt
and the influence of actinic rays upon the skin, is worth a
cent. May we hope that unlike other American celebrities
recently come to fame, she will not deluge us with syndi
cated articles on things she knows nothing about?
COME DOWN TO EARTH
If we all lived within our means it is possible it would
not be necessary to call for any kind of “relief.” There is
something wTrong with a condition whereby people buy
luxuries with a lavish hand and refuse or neglect to pay
their debts. We are traveling at too rapid a pace and
should come down to earth.

RADIO BEACONS AID
ALASKA NMTMI;
01 ON S. S. ALASKA
SHIPS EQUIPPED WITH IMPROVED
COMPASSES NOW SAFER IN
DANGEROUS WATERS
A few Seward citizens noticed,
while the S. S. Alaska was in port
last week, that the vessel was equip
ped with radio compass as an aid to
navigation. The cableship Dellwood
which arrived in port Thursday from
Valdez, is likewise equipped.
In connection with these improved
compasses it might be stated that re
cently the radio beacon at Cape Spen
cer was recently put into operation
and the Bureau of Lighthouses has an
nounced that other beacons in the
North are planned. The advent of the
radio compass and radio beacon in
Alaska will greatly improve naviga
tion facilities in that part of the
world and there probably will be few
er accidents to ships in those waters 1
the coming winter than ever before. \
Radio compasses can be used in any !
part of the world whdre ordinary ra
dio or wireless telegraphy are employ- j
ed, but the radio beacon is designed .
especially as an aid to the radio com
pass. This new aid to navigation was
first devised in the United States by '
!
Dr. Frederick A. Roister when he was
l
a physicist in the Bureau of Stand
ards at Washington, D. C. Dr. Roister
is now chief research engineer of the
Federal Telegraph Company.
The United States has taken the
lead in this industry, principally thru
the cooperation of the Bureau of
Lighthouses and the Federal Tele
graph Company in supporting Dr. Rol
ster’s contentions and carrying out
the radio compass and radio beacon
idea. Other nations are becoming in
terested in the radio compass and ra-:
dio beacon and the subject is to be :
discussed at the proposed Internation
al Communication Convention to be
held in the near future.
