fPetersburg Report)

Seyenty-five members of Congress ! are coming to the Pacific Coast dur ing the spring and summer. accord ing to a Washington press dispatch.
 They will. SO 1t is stated, ell visit San Francisco. and tho majority of them intend to come North to the Sound.
 Now if a big party of these states men could be persuaded to devote a few weeks to an All Alaska trip, they would hereafter be in position to leg islate more intelllgenty for the North land than has been customary in the past, with their information as to con ditions and needs of the Territory ob. tained too frequently through means of investigator" and experts. who have journeyed from the East, "iun- keted" their little while in the coast towns. and then rushed back to the East and to Washington to tell how the benighted folks of Alaska should be governed. and what ought to be done for development of the country.
 Should they make only the excur- sion from Seattle to KnilS and Kodiak the party would be able to see that there are some things that Congress has not done that should be done and that some things done were bet ter undone,
 For instance if their steamer were delayed few hours at the entrance to Wrangen Narrows, they might at once realize the need of appropriating a few thousand dollars for removing some of the bars obstructing nayiga- tions at low tide.
 It would be brought to their atten- tion at various points on the trip that the governments conservation policy is retarding development of the Ter ritory: that billions of feet of timber is mature and wasting on account of policy that will not permit of its profitable use in the building up of wood.sawing and pulp-making indus tries.
 They would also be able 10 FleW some picturesque rocks sticking out of the coast waters, with an occasion al wreck to demonstrate that there are still other rocks that don't appear above the surface. the locations of which have evidentaly not been char ted.
 And they would learn about a whole lot of other things
 Altogether it would be a very inter estinq trip for the Congressman, and of value to both Alaska and tho coun- try at large.
 A member Of Congress usually has to make showing of some ability and qualifications prior to being sell ected by the voters of district to represent them.
 The qualifications of the investi' gatoro sent from Washington is often solely that somebody wants him on the public payroll
