 GIVING RESULTS
 OF ALASKA TRIP

J. L. McPherson, manager of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce, who paid an exten sivve visit to the interior last sum mer, going out to the coast via the Broad Pass route to Anchorage, has arrived in his home city. In an in terview concerning the findings oi his trip the following is noted:
 There are many things demanding immediate attention for the welfare of Alaska, in the view of Manager J L. McPherson, of the Alaska Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, who has just returned from his annual trip to the North.
 In an interesting analysis. based upon his personal observations. and conferences with officers and mem bers of the commercial organizations at the principal population centers he visited, Manager McPherson, has out lined what seems to him the problems on which all friends of Alaska must center their efforts.
 "It was the consensus of opinion, ' he declared upon his return, "that a strong, constructive policy, with nee essary authority from congress. must be adopted above everything else This will assure permanent popula tion. It will do away with many diff faculties retarding the development of Alaska and which are actually de populating the territory.
 Alaska Needs Summarized
 In summarizing the results of his trip, definite needs in which the Alas ka Bureau will render all aid possible include:
 Necessary aid to revive Alaska's gold mining industry, required to pro- tect our money standard.
 Improvement of the mail service This is now in a worse condition than for many years.
 Increased water transportation especially during the summer season The shortage for the last two sum mers has been due to the withdrawal of steamers from the Alaskan service for war purposes.
 Aids to navigation and increased activity in the survey of Alaska's en' ormous coast line and adjacent wa ters.
 Early completion of the government railroad and the construction of wagon roads into adjacent mining dis tricts.
 The improvement and construction of wagon roads throughout all sec. tions of Alaska.
 Proper regulations for the protec. tion and preservation of Alaska's rich fisheries and the centering of a fish. ing population in Alaska which will result in building up many fishing communities along the Alaska coast
 Alaska Coal Resources
 Necessary prospecting work by drilling in the bituminous coal fields to induce capital to take up the de. velopment of Alaska's coal resources, which it will not do under the pres. ent lease law, with the uncertainty as to the location of commercially work. able beds of coal.
 Enactment of a law that will per. init of the development of the oil re. sources.
 Modification of the laws pertaining to the securing of patent to agricul' tural and mineral lands so as to do away with all unnecessary delay in patent proceedings. which has been a factor of considerable moment in discouraging capital from Alaskan in. vestment.
 Inauguration of the paper pulp in. dustry.
 Providing transportation and hotel facilities such as will attract large tourist travel.

lilies. Many of them look upon the
work here as of temporary char
acter and do not desire to move
their household effects. For this
reason they seek light housekeep-
ing rooms.
Urge Cooperation.
AS pointed out by Colonel Leroy
T Hillman of the arsenal, ii is
rather a shortsighted policy for the
people of any of the tri-city com
munities to place restrictions upon
light housekeeping rooms of char
acter that will prohibit children.
This is a time when every citizen
in the tri-cities, he says, must rec
ognize that the winning of the war
is a matter in which the Rock Is
land arsenal is very greatly IN
volved, and as it is impossible to
bring here only skilled mechanics
who are single, the cooperation OF
the citizens of Rock Island is alb
soluteiy essential and the question
of light housekeeping rooms is one
that will have the attention of the
registration committee at its meet
ing of Friday.

The announcement has been made
from the office of the Industrial
housing department of the labor
bureau that the tri-city community
has been granted another S1,000,000
for industrial housing.
This money, it is understood, will
be apportioned on the same basis
as the S3,000,000 previously al
Iotted. Z. S. Judd, the local repre-
sentative of the housing bureau, is
now at work in Rock Island and
negotiating for property, and an
nounces that he expects to have the
Rock Island situation cleared up
by the end of the week 1t is an
ticipated that the property which
the government intends to buy will
be contracted for Immediately and
that the erection of houses will be-
gin in about three weeks. 1t is
stated that the architects handling
the proposition for both Rock Is
land and Davenport will have the
plans and specifications ready so
that the letting of the contracts will
be in order within the month.
The housing registration bureau

row noon at the Rock Island club.
The purpose of the meeting is to
outline definite plans looking for
ward to a canvass which is to be
made in behalf of getting more peo-
pie to open their homes for light
housekeeping rooms. Reports from
the government indicate that people
who have opened up their houses
for light housekeeping rooms are
adverse to taking children. This,
it has been pointed out, is a most
unpatriOtic stand and defeats the
purpose of the government. Most
