WANT TO KNOW
 WHAT PEOPLE THINK

Tentative plans are under way for submitting several bonding proposi- tions to the people of Juneau for the purpose of getting an expression of the sentiment of the people on this subject. The extremely rapid growth of Juneau during the past year and the promise of even greater strides during the next twelve months, 1t is urged makes 1t imperative that some other method beyond the annual tax rate be adopted to raise the necessary funds to provide the public improve ments that the growth of the city now demands and will continue to demand until made.
 It Is designed that the propositions for bonding shall be segregated and in each instance the specific purpose for which the money is to be used shall be named. If the people express a strong sentiment in favor of any of the propositions the vote cast for such will be forwarded to Congress with a petition for special legislation permit ting the City of Juneau to bond for such purpose.

GOVERNMENT HELPS
 ALASKA BOOSTERS

supplementing the work of the 4 aska Bureau of the New Seattle Cha Der of Commerce in advertising Ala ka, the Department of Agriculture hI issued a bulletin for distribution by t.-- representatives of the bureau among visitors to their exhibit at Washing ton.
 The bulletin says that Alaska has more than 64,OOO,OOO acres of land on which there are possibilities for farm ing and grazing. The department has four experimental stations, one on the Yukon. within seventy.five miles of the Arctic Circle; another in the interior, one in Southern Alaska and one in the southwestern part.
 Currants, raspberrles, gooseberries' blueberries and cranberries are plenti- full in the Northland. Varieties of wheat. oats, barley, rye, potatoes and many other vegetables have matured every season since the department has started it's work at it's two most north ern stations.
 The new bullentin on Alaska, while reciting so many optimistic facts, also points out to the homesteader the diff fculties which will be encountered. The Federal homestead laws extend to Alaska. but in the Northern Territory the entryman may file upon 32O acres instead of 16O. One may locate upon unsurveyed land. and establish lines by metes and bounds, but title cannot be obtained until the survey Is made and approved. Little of the available land has been surveyed, although that work is now in progress.
 Here are few of the interesting facts brought out in the bulletin: Sc attle is nearer Maine than it is to the western point of Alaska; the mean an nual temperature9of sitka is about the same as that of Washington, D. C.; Alaska has numerous deep land.locked, ice-free harbors; the coast line is 26,' 900 miles long and there are 5000 miles of navigable rivers.

 The bill. which was referred to the committee on Territories, excluding the title and enacting clause is as fol- lows:
