AS Is usual in the spring time the migratory classes. birds. wild fowl and people, head north. This spring promises to be no exception except as to the number that will come. The birds and wild fowl will prob. ably be about the same but from all indications the thrush of people will be greater.

JUST WHY THE
 ALASKAN BOYS
 WERE RELEASED

From Seattle paper, under the caption of Hurry Discharge of Alas ka Troops" the following account of the action taken to effect that meas. ure is given:
 Thru the effective work of Sena. tors Wesley L. Jones and Miles Poin- dexter and Congressman John F. Mil Ter. the war department recently Is. sued orders facilitating the early discharge from the army of all Al askans. In letter addressed to Senator Wesley L. Jones, the direc. tor of operations of the war depart ment says,
 Orders have been issued with a view to returning as many of these men to Alaska for discharge as soon as possible. The greater part of the men being at Camp Lewis and Camp Dodge. orders have been sent to these camps to arrange to send all men eligible for discharge to the post in Alaska nearest their homes for discharge. If you have any knowledge of cases that would not be covered by the above orders, they will be acted upon if brot to the attention of the war department" Maj. Gen. Henry Jervey. assistant chief of staff, In letter addressed to Congressman John F. Miller, says:
 "The war department Is very de sirous of returning all men now ill this country who we.e inducted into the service from Alaska, to their homes with as little delay as pos. sible. To this end. instructions have been issued to the commanding gen. eral, Western department. directing the discharge of drafted men in Al. aska. The commanding generals of Camp Dodge and Camp Lewis have also been directed to discharge draft. ed men from Alaska who are under their command.
 Seek Early Return.
 General instructions, now being issued, call for reports of men from Alaska who enlisted or were drafted for the period of emergency. their numbers and location. Upon receipt of these reports orders will be is- sued directing the discharge of these men under the provisions of current war department circulars. and their early return to their homes.
 "Of course 1t must be realized that q certain number of these men will not be physically eligible for dis charge. Others may be held in the service because their services cannot, at the present time. be spared. These cases are unavoidable. It is believed, however, that the action now being taken will result in the return of the bulk of the Alaska men to their homes in time for the opening of the season."
 With the signing of the armistice the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commer. cial Club received telegraphic ap. peals from the Alaskans in the ser vice from many of tho army camps. These appeals were for early dis. charge. stating that if it would not be obtained before May 1t would be the cause of their losing an entire year in their northern work.

ALASKA BUREAU IS INTERESTED
 IN THE NORTH

That the Alaska Bureau of the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club had much to do with the securing of the passage of the measure which secured for Alaskan waters more adequate aids to navigation may be judged by the action taken by that organization The following letters relative to the subject will show their course of procedure:
 Seattle, Wn.. Feb. 2. 1919. MT. J. H. Caskey. The Alaska Citi. zen. Fairbanks. Alaska. Dear Sir:
 We are today addressing each member of congress as per enclosed letter, and to each have sent a copy of map which graphically shows data relative to the great loss of vessels in Alaskan waters
 To Senator Jones and Delegate Wickersham we are forwarding at- las of maps on a large scale. showing the position of one hundred essen. tial aids to navigation that should be immediately installed. These have been prepared by committees repre- senting the Shipmasters' Association. Masters, Mates and Pilots Organiza- tion. and the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
 This is the beginning of a cam. paign we have launched to bring about an enlarged program of con struction of these much needed aids to Alaska. You may be assured we will continue to follow 1t up until the desired end is attained.
 With very best wishes, We are
 Very sincerely yours.
 J. L. PATTERSON,
 Manager. The following is a sample of the letters sent to the members of con. gress:
 Seattle. Wn.. Feb. 8. 1919. Hon. Walter Kehoe. House of Rep resentatives. Washington. D. c. Dear Sir:
 The loss of 331 lives in the wreck of the Princess Sophia, Oct. 25. 1918. again emphasizes the deplorable lack of aids to navigation and coast sur. veys in Alaskan waters.
 The great value of Alaska com. merce. which last year totaled $127.. 900. .000. carried by 4030 vessel trips. justfies the necessary expense to make these waters safe to navigation. Under constructive policy. which will make for the rational develop ment of Alaska, this commerce will advance to figures of which no ap- prOximation can be made.
 The loss of vessels and cargo, of which we now have record. exceeds in value $19.O00.000. Under separ. ate cover we are sending you map we have prepared. which graphically shows the extent of these disasters. Will you kindly give your valuable support to the construction of the necessary aids to navigation and coast surveys. and hasten this all important work.

CITY IS GLAD TO
BE HOST TO THE
KEYSTONE UNIT

Mayor Daniel r. Keister is
quite enthusiastic over the prop0-
sition of having the Twenty
eighth Division parade in Harris
burg when it returns from France
in May. 1t is quite fitting that
reception should be rendered
to the men, the Mayor asserts.
adding that there is no more
suitable place in the state for
holding the event 1T would be
1uite splendid if the Legislature
were to make an appropriation to
cover the expenses" he says.
George S. Reinoehl, president
of the Chamber of Commerce,
also greatly favors having the
Keystone Division men parade
here as a unit. He agrees that
it would be a fine idea if the Leg
islature would make the neces-
sary appropriation, but adds that
he believes that the Chamber of
Commerce could do much in rails
ing the requisite funds by public
subscription.
