IT Is believed that congress will adopt
the presidents recommendation at this
session and include the sixty.five million
acres Of forest reserves andin fact all
the government forestry work under a
single bureau of forestry in the depart
ment of agriculture. As it is the work
is distributed around several bureaus
and divisions and there is more or less
conflict and duplication of work. A
bill to carry this idea into effect has
been favorably reported in the House
and will probably pass The forestry
question is recognized as one which
affects the entire country and affects 1t
agreeably, since our sources of water
supply are all dependent upon forest
preservation. 1t is further urged that
the entire remaining public timber lands
of the west should be included In the
forest reserve and that the government
instead of selling the land as at present
should retain title to all forest lands but
sell the timber, thus preserving the
identity OF the forests. There is no
question but that the present timber law
with it's attendant steals aud scandals
hould be repealed.

PRESIDENT ASKS FOR NEW
 CODt FOR ALASKA

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan
 Washington, Dec. 9-The presidents message was sent to congress yesterday afternoon. It deals extensively with Alaskan questions. A new code is rec commended for the district. The presi- dent says it has, in some respects, out grown the laws that have been pro- Vided by congress. Such Legislation as that recommended in the report of the attorney general, he says, is impera- tive. It is recommended that congress divest the district court judges and clerks of Alaska of administrative or executive functions and give them to the governor, making the governorship a real linstead of a nominal position,
 This, he says, would relieve the judges of much of the strife that now embar- rasses the judiciary of the north. It is also recommended that more money be
The daily Alaskan., 1904-12-07

expended in Alaska and that more dis trict judges be provided.
 The principal features of the message in national matters are:the earnest rec ommendation for strong army and navy and encouragement by legislation of the merchant marine.
 The problem of the wage earners is discussed and the president says their rights must be protected. He says the day has gone when corporations can be handled in defiance of the public we'll fare.
 The message recommends a compre- hensive revision of the national natur- alization laws.
 Forest reserves are discussed at length and the announcement is made that it is principal of the administra- tion that forests are for use and not or nament.
