The Annual Report
 of Governor Clark

1 The report dwells on the marked in crease in the copper product of the Prince William Sound region; the de- velopment of the quartz industry in the Fairbanks section, where IT mills have been installed; the preparations in the Juneau district for very large gold-Quartz product; and the placers of the territory. Nothing of importance has transpired in the lat. ter field.
 The development and protection of the fisheries receives large atten- ton in the report. Purse seiners and traps are discussed with the analysis that the dispute in vogue as to the merits of the two fishing methods simply involves labor problem. There is need of the establishment Of a federal biological station in Alas ka Also there is need of more government agents in the Alaska fish cries department and more launches for their use.
 The rebate system is condemned and the recommendation made that the taxes be collected in cash and that the government take over the private hatcheries and stablish new ones for the propagation of salmon It is recommended that legislation be enacted prohibiting the use of her. ring or other food fishes for the manu- facture of fertilizer or oil. The re- port states that there are over 200 species of food fishes in Alaska not more than dozen of which are now being utilized.
 The report asks for a change in the school laws permitting the estab- lishment of school in unincorporated places where there are fifteen chil' dren of school age.
 The governor does not favor the project of placing the Alaska native on reservations.
 The report argues for the removal of the tax on railroads; for aids to navigation; for law providing for the registration of births. marriages. and deaths; for some provision for the relief of the destitute white per sons; for new banking law,
 The report criicises the new home rule bill in that the legislative powers are limited
 Attention is paid to the appopria- ton made for the erection of federal buildings in Juneau and an increase of $3OO,OOO is asked for the building of a legislative hall and federal office building. The money already appro- priated for this purpose amounts to S2OO,OOO.

 "A comparison of the temperature at several Alaska points and cities of the Eastern States made on Decem- Der IS, shows the Alaska climate to have been decidedly milder than that of the East. The report was made by the United States Weather Bureau.
 "on the day on which the observa- tion was made, New York and Boston had maximum temperature of 30 degrees above zero. sitka 4S de- grees, while at Valdez 1t rose to 3S degrees.
