A County Health Officer During the autumn months of last year, the Palladium urged the appointment of a professional health officer. This proposal met with approval by all who had given much serious attention

to the subject. But owing to adverse state laws it was impossible for the new administration to take this step. Further than that, it was pointed out how this would confine the beneficent influences of a sanitarian to the city alone. The thousands living in the country and in other towns would have to muddle along with our present obsolete methods.

Engineering Corps. They will use what Panama

canal machinery they need, and will go about the job very much after the manner of digging the big ditch. Secretary Lane is already on the hunt for another Colonel Goethals. Almost the one sole objection to this scheme is, to use the words of the Cincinnati Enquirer, "that the project will prove the entering wedge for government ownership of railways." If this were really the case, the objection would be valid, because government ownership, spite of what may be done in Germany or what Secretary Bryan may want, is to be avoided as the plague. But the government ownership of the Alaskan railway won't be any such entering wedge. All sides recognize this as an exceptional case and

yesterday by city officials.

If the pipe line could be laid at a reasonable cost all the officials agred the city could effect a big saving in its annual fuel bill. Clnty Controller McMahan reported that the average cost of heating the city building the last four years was $516 per annum. City Engineej Charles estimated that it would require 1,750 feet of six inch pipe to connect the power plant with the city building. He based his estimate on a line laid along North A street. The pipe required, which sells at f0 cents per lineal foot, would cost $1.050 and ihe other expenses would bring the total up to between $4,000 and $5,000, it is believed. The city would effect a saving even if the original cost of the improvement totaled . $5,000 the officials agreed. The question will be brought up for discussion again within the near future. One big obstacle in making the improvement is the fact that the city does not have $5,000 to spare at the present time.

which have barely scratched the surface. In this same period, Alaska has poured into our coffers $500,000,000, thus giving us a balance on our side of the ledger of $464,000,000. What have we done in return for this? So little that Alaska now has a population of only 64,000, less than half of whom are whites. Its

metropolis is no larger than Cambridge City, and its highways won't aggregate, all told, 1,000 miles. Its transportation system is so inadequate every inhabitant is taxed an average of $360 a year freightage. Why has Alaska been so neglected by us, so niggardly developed? The answer is simple. After the discovery of its resources, various interests rushed in (after the fashion so characteristic of Interests) and set about gobbling up the whole territory. Did they intend to develop it? Oh, no; merely to hold it until its value should climb to a high figure, and then sell it and pocket the difference. This program, headed by the Guggenheims, immediately challenged the Conservationists, headed by Gifford Pinchot. These two forces locked horns, neither side permitting the other

to gain control, and thus have held up Alaskan

development ever since. To extricate the country from this dilemma,

Secretary Lane, seconded by President Wilson, has worked out his plan of government control by ownership. This program calls for three general lines of activity: an Alaskan commission, to have charge of the nation's interests; a system for leasing ore and lumber rights to private corporations, and a government-owned railway. A bill appropriating $30,000,000 for this last purpose, was signed by the president Thursday. A thousand miles of railway will be constructed under the management of the Army and Navy

ble for an architect to erect buildings without a blue print. "I owe a great deal to persistence . . . and have always kept in practice." Children make

out very elaborate programs and determine to do great things but soon give it up to try something I else. Beginnings are always easy. The last lap

requires the grit. George Westinghouse got into

the running and stuck it out to the end. "Throughout my youth I learned to work with my hands as well as my head." No line can be drawn between head work and hand work. An educated man knows how to use both. The ditch digger requires a trained mind; the piano player requires trained muscles. The man who looks down on hand work as being disgraceful is a fool. And vice versa, ditto. Following Westinghouse's recipe may not make an inventor or a millionaire of a young fellow but it will make a MAN of him. And the country is as much in need of men as ever.
