' Frederick W. Bradley, presi dent of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, predicted that not only would such a high way open up the mineral wealth of the region, but would aid in permanent settlement. "This proposed road strikes me a an excellent idea," he assert ed. "The highway, running thru .'northern British Columbia and back oi the Alaskan panhandle, would open up an Immense, well tnjneralhed ' district to develop ment and would well repay the .Canadian and United States gov ernments with the resources it "would tap. "Development of the Alaska . Juneau and Tread well-Yukon . mines, both of which are of great . Interest to the entire northwest. ' Is progressing rapidly. "The district is destined to be ; one of the foremost mining dlst- ricts of the American continent. : With . a highway connecting the i region, with Canada aud the Unit- ed Stated, development would be so rapid as to be almost miracu- ' lous." Alaskan residents look on the proposed road as a first step Into a great network which would spread entirely over the territory.

Ohio (AP) Man made lightning has convinced one engineer that an airplane may be struck in flight but that light ning hasards may be eliminated by Insulation. ' Arthur O. Austin of Barberton, O.. says his experiments show lightning will strike protruding parts of a plane. These, he says, may be protected. The radio aerial and air speed Indicator tube were shown to be the most likely parts to be struck. Under certain conditions light ning striking a speeding plane might cripple the ignition system or burn out a bearing, Austin found. In his outdoor laboratory Aus tin explodes synthetic bolts on model planes, wing sections, fuel tanks, motors; Ignition systems, and one fall-eised plane. Lightning shot at a wooden propeller, In motion, followed the course of a metal sheath and jumped to the top cylinder. The motor, however, continued to function. Bolts of 3,000,000 volts are shot In the laboratory, and Aus tin plans to double the voltage, The laboratory, a maze of elec trical machinery. Includes three of the largest transformers in the world, each rated at 900,000 volts. The transformers feed into each other to create the nigh voltage used. Overhead are transmission towers, insulator strings, oscilla tors, and a large cage aerial in which the electrical charge is stored. Austin became Interested In the research after the crash last fall of a Transcontinental Air Trans port plane. Aviators and scientists generally have contended that lightning Is no hazard to planes In Hlght and that metal planes, even if struck, would carry away the charge without damage. The engineer plans a public demonstration of his experiments In the summer. Chrysler Authorities Order -Drop in Rates on All OfUodels DETROIT. Mich. Mar.

Ont., March 15 (AP) Canadian government of ficials now act as the connecting link between distilleries and United States bootleggers, a prac ttice which the people of Canada want to abolish, Premier Mac Kenzie King asserted today dur ing the second reading of his bill to prohibit clearance of liquor to a country where Its sale is prohi bited. The purpose of his bill, he ex plained, is to eliminate such a condition off affairs and to pre vent the countenancing by offi cials of anything in the nature of smuggling contraband into an other country. He said that un der the present system revenue agents knew when liquor would fall into the hands of rum run ners because the release permits stated such facts. "In other words," the premier said "the present system is found to afford a link between the brewery and distillery and the criminal gang. "This country cannot afford to have its position capable of in terpretation In any such light by any other country in the world. 8uch a condition is distasteful la the people of Canada and hag on ly been tolerated so long because of the failure to realise this as pect of the situation.- n Demonstrator reorest Ms GOLDEmkOCKET & an invitation to drive this qreat nev car We have put this Golden Rocket detnonstrswor on the) streets to fat trodwee yow to rh superior perform ance of the New OaUontf-Bgkt.

(AP) Im portant developments in the Ore gon livestock In d lis try daring the past, few years hare been a nota ble Increase in wool, a gradual decrease ia cattle and a great de cline In the use of horse, accord ing to a surrey made by different Investigators for the University of Oregon, A. L. Lomaj( and T. N. Van Guiler. The wool Industry lot Oregon has expanded to such, an extent that at present it produces enough fiber to supply Oregon and still have an exportable surplus of more than 14,699,009 pounds annually. Production of mohair is approx imately 462,090 pounds all avail able for export and shipped main ly to the Atlantic seaboard where It is used for upholstering and draperies. Texas mohair Is listed general ly at a price two centa higher than the Oregon product, the sur vey pointed out, a condition due to the fact that the Texas grow ers are building up their flocks and fleeces by selective breeding and the use of thoroughbreds whereas there is only a slight in dication of similar activity on the part of Oregon farmers. Figures on the cattle industry tend to indicate that Oregon is killing more beef than it is rais ing, since a decrease of 27.2 per cent In the last 11 years is shown by the loss of 252,000 head since 1919 where there were 925,000 head on Oregon farms. There is, however, a considerable export able surplus of beef as well as veal, mutton, and pork. Oregon's exportable surplus of cattle is in direct competition with the corn fed cattle of the mlddlewest, es pecIaUy when the demand i slack. At other times when prices are firm and rising, the range fed animals of this state find no dlf flculty in meeting buyers, the re port stated. Horses on farms In Oregon since 1919 have shown a decrease mainly because of the more exten sive use of tractors and other me chanical farm machinery previous ly operated by teams, the report said. BERLIN (AP) Germany bought back from Argentina in 1921 about 14,900.009 worth of German gold coins, part of the heavy gold exports to South Am erica in the postwar inflation years.
