WILSON MAY NOT
MAKE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS TOUR
Is Told People More Interest.
ed In Reduction Of n. c. Of
/. Than In World
League.
BY JUSTIN M'GRATH.

Washington, Aug. 7.-President
Wilson is in quandary as to
whether it is advisable for him tos
make his Speaking tour in favor OF
the league of nations. At the White
House it was impossible to get
definite statement as to the presi-
dents intentions with respect to the
tour which has been arranged. Men,
bers of the executive staff appar-
emily were very much at sea as to
what the presidents decision would
be. All they would say on the sub
ject was that the arrangements for
the tour had been held up.
1t is known that some of the pres
ident's advisers have counselled him
against making the tour, expressing
the view that it would be politically
unwise.
Their arguments have had suffi-
cent weight to bring about further
consideration 1t is understood that
the presidents decision probably
will hinge upon the turn of events in
the next week. 1t will involve much
more than making the tour or
abandoning it. His whole future po-
litical course of action may be
shaped by it.
The president and the whole ad-
minstration undoubtedly has been
surprised by the discovery that the
American public is more intensely
interested in a quick reduction of the
high cost of living than it is in the
fate of the league of nations.
Approaching that fact the presi.
dent and his cabinet officers are
taking steps to bring about reforms
which will meet the peoples demand
for effective action.
Some of the presidents political
councillors have told him that he
ought to remain in Washington un-
til some definite results have been
achieved
After he has made his recommen-
dations to congress the president
probably will feel, it is said by men,
bers of his staff, that he, can start
on his trip with little liability of
meeting any criticism.

HATCHERY SITE AT
 EYAK BE SURVEYED

Mayor A. J. Adams today received a wire from Governor Riggs notifying him the Territorial Fish Commission of which he is member, had held a meeting at Juneau and decided not to expend much money this year. An experimental station will be installed at Juneau; also that an appropriation of $S,000 had been made for an inves- tigation of hatchery sites and of this amount $7,000 is to be extended under the direction of MT. Adams and Hugh Dougherty, of Seward. As Eyak lake offers the most available site, and one which has been recommended by the bureau of fisheries the probabili- ties are that most of the $7,000 will be expended in making surveys at the lake.

LARGE SUM TO
 BE SPENT ON
 CHlTlNA TRAIL

'"The Alaska Road Commission will expend $180,OOO on the Chitina-F Fair
 banks trail during the present sea- son." acording to c. J. Morrison, the engineer in charge of this work who is now on tour of inspection of the gov ernment trail.
 All of the work will be directed from the Chitina end. Ten crews have been organized for the work and will be as signed to certain sections. One of these crews will work between Fair banks and Richardson and will be under the control of John Paulson. The tractor on that end will also be under MT. Paulson's direction, but will do most of it's work between Fairbanks and Richardson.
 Beyond McCarty and to Bears Cache the commission will do some new con- struction work putting the road in as good shape as possible. The bad places between Rapids and Yosts will be gravelled this summer and the trail generally improved.
 Between Meirs Roadhouse and Sour dough there is stretch of road which during wet spells and the spring thaw, gets so bad as to be almost impossible On this stretch of trail crew of about six commission trucks will operate and put it in shape for gravelling which will be done this season. MT. Morri- son stated that the commission intends to put this piece of road in such con- dition that it will be passable at all seasons.
 Between Gulkana and Willow creek there will be some grading done which will improve the road to con- siderable degree. No new work will
 be attempted on the Chitina end of
 the trail except the rebuilding of cul- verts. General maintenance work will
 be kept up on this section. On the
 section from Willow creek to Valdez
 there is no new construction work
 contemplated but the maintenance op- eratio1is will continue.
