In addition to it's regular Northern service the Canadian Pacific Steam ship company has decided to place It's new and palatial steamer Princess Alice on the Alaska run for at least four trips this summer.

ROAD FUNDS SHOULD
 BE AVAILABLE EARLY

Thousands of dollars are being lost to the camp this spring through the failure of the government to provide adequate funds for the repair of the roads and trails throughout the dis trict at a time when repairs are urg- ently needed. We appreciate the fact that the government has done very much for Alaska in the way of provid- ing funds for the construction of a railroad. and it is not our wish to ap- pear ungrateful in calling attention to the pressing need which now con fronts us. We merely mention the condition of the local roads in the hope that way out of the difficulty will be found if the proper authorities at Washington are appraised of our plight.
 We do not believe that 1t is the in- tention of Congress or the administra- ton to abandon the wagon roads in Alaska now that it has been decided to build a railroad. It must be recog- nied by the officials at Washington that the importance of our highways will be enhanced by the building of railroads, and we feel sure that the time will come when there will be many times more money expended an- nually in improving and extending the wagon roads than has been spent in the past. But there is an immediate need, and because there is not now money available for the work, the business and development of the camp are being retarded.
 Not only that. The failure to make needed repairs at this time will nee essitate the expenditure of much larger amount of money and labor later in the season, and if weather conditions are not favorable later on, it will be impossible to repair the damage which has resulted from the spring snows and water.
 The local representatives of the road commission are doing what they can to put the roads in condition for use. They doubtless will make their Limited funds go as far as possible toward relieving the situation. But they can not improve conditions much until additional money is available and it is with the object of .hastenine another appropriation that we mention the matter at this time. The need if urgent. and 1t will be money saved to the government if the additiona work is authorized in time. - Fair banks Times.

JONES MAY BECOME
 FISHERIES HEAD

Dr. D. Lester Jones, deputy United States Fish Commissioner, who is now enroute to Juneau and who win devote the next four months to an in- yestigation to the fishing industry of the North, may succeed to the head of the fisheries bureau, according to Washington newspapers.
 A recent Washington Post says:
 'sDr. E. Lester Jones, of this city, may be named by President Wilson to succeed Hugh M. Smith as Com missioner of Fisheries in the Depart ment of Commerce. Mir. Smith is a holdover, having been deputy commits sioner in the Taft Administration. pr. Jones is at present deputy commis- sioner.
 ''Dr. Jones leaves this week for Alas, .ka, where he will make four months study of the salmon industry along the Pacific and Boring sea coasts. A number of restrictive measures re- lating to the salmon industry are pending in Congress. The trade of Alaska amounts to s16,OOO,OOO year, and the Administration is suspicious that there is considerable waste.
 For some time there have been re- ports of friction in the Fisheries Bu- reau."
 Dr. Jones will arrive here on the Ad- miral Sampson, and will join the United States fisheries boat Albatross.

 BUILDINGS AT LAT0UCHE

 ote Little, brother of the saloon keeper, was asleep in the building when the fire started at 12:16 in the morning. He had a narrow escape from being overcome by smoke. He fired several shots to arouse the neigh bors, but the fire had gained too much headway to be controlled. Kimball devoted his time to saving $S,OOO worth of furs he had in the attic and lost his store stock.
 The total loss on all four buildings is estimated at about sS,OO0.
 Kimball started the first grocery store in Seward eleven years ago, and moved to Latouche about seven years ago.-Seward Gateway.

LANES PROGRAM
 COUNTS FOR PROGRESS

There is sound sense, practicability and constructive statesmanship in the suggestion made by Secretary Lane for the creation of commis- sion. to take charge of all of the re- sources of Alaska, to do that work well in that territory which is now done badly or not done at all by half n dozen or more different government al agencies, all limited in what work they can do by the constant necessity of referring everything to bureau of ficlals in Washington City
 In the form of a report made to the senate and the house committees on territories Secretary Lane marshals the arguments in favor of his scheme. The real recital in this report of the manner in which matters affecting Alaska are now parceled around among the different bureaus and de- partments, is sufficient argument in itself for the adoption of some simple, comprehensive and workable plan, and he has outlined such plan.
 There should scarcely be any Ques. tion that all matters affecting the pub lie domain should be administered, not alone in Alaska but everywhere else, by one bureau of one department of the general government. The forest " service belongs to and should be entirely under the jurisdiction of the interior department, for one thing.
 But as far as Alaska is concerned, all the matters affecting it and the development of it's resources should be left under the control of single
 commission of competent men, on the ground, with full power to act, un- hampered by the bureaucratic meth ods of Washington City, but free to deal with every situation as they find 1t. This is the diametric opposite of the bureaucratic methods under which Alaska has been bottled up for so many years and that very reason af. lords strong argument for 1t. Secre- tary Lane's report on the subject should be conclusive and congress should act upon his recommendations, which have already been embodied in bills now before congress. = Seattle Post.Intelligencer.
