Though the present session of the

! number of questions of vital interest
to the residents of the National Capt.

legislation of great Importance.

Two other matters which Congress
has inquired into and which may De

present Congress, which begins next
December. are the reorganization of
the board of education including
survey of the local school system and
an inquiry into the price of bread In

COAST UNDESIRABLES
 UP FOR DEPORTATION

Charged with being undesirable aliens, three women, alleged inhabi- tants of restricted district, three Chinese cooks and one Japanese cook, all alleged to be employed in places of ill-repute, have been taken into custody at Ketchikan by I'm migration Inspectors Strench and Durkee, upon warrants issued by the department of labor. The pro- ceedings were started with view of deporting all seven of the alleged undesirables.
 The three woman have been ad- mitted to bail in the sum of $1,000, pending the outcome of the hearing, all three of them claiming that they are married to American citizens. The men in the case have not fur. nished bail, and it is not known whether or not they intend to resist deportation. ~...

CENSUS RETURNS.

The census returns for Alaska that are just beginning to be made pub lie will show the population of the Territory at it's lowest ebb, declares the editor of the Alaska (Juneau) Daily Empire. Taken during the winter months even when Alaska was most prosperous, census would fail to show it's full population, be- cause many Alaskans have formed a habit of going south at that time and are necessarily missed in the enumeration.
 Last winter probably found fewer people in the North than could have been found for several years past. The outgoing tide of our residents had been in motion steadily south ward for practically four years, talk ing with it thousands of people who were attracted by the glamor of higher wages in the States than could be found in Alaska at that time. War work brought prosperity to the States, and desolation to Alaska. Drafts took the best of Alaska's youth, and shipyards and other in dustries paying reckless wages drew heavily on those left. As result, the winter of 1919-192O saw Alaska deprived of many who in normal times would have been working in our industries.
 Even with the few short months that have elapsed since the enumera- tors made their rounds, the differ ence is noticeable today. Alaska s population is greater now than then. Not because there has been any ma terial chance in Alaskan conditions, but rather that conditions in the States are themselves undergoing radical changes True, the increase in population is not large, but it is apparent, and each month will be- come more marked. For this reason there is no cause for discouragement in the comparatively low census fig ures that preliminary returns indi cate may be expected. The low tide has been here and is gone. From now on, we may expect to see ; steady and healthy growth in bott population and industry.

it that miladi could wrap around her neck or otherwise use to adorn her person became an object of pop ular favor. Even the epidermal cov- ering of the humble house cat was
 impressed into service, while the
 higher grades of fur such as fox
 and other long-haired varieties at-
 tained a vogue that speedily raised
 them to leading places in the fur
 markets. This huge demand natur-
 ally resulted in immense price in 'hations. Single fox skins frequent
 ly sold for as high as $500 without causing a murmur of comment from a public grown used to the rapacious gouging of the profiteer.
 Such condition could not persist, for the simple reason that, regard less of fashions dictates, the public purse could not meet the exorbitant prices demanded by the fur trade. There is little doubt that the huge price inf1ations are the main cause of the present demoralized market, hence it may be confidently expected
 that when prices are returned to
 reasonable levels there will re- newal of demand for at least the
 better grades of pelts.
 As long as female fashions con- tinue along present lines, it is prac- tically certain that the demand for
 furs will continue. The himsy brev- i ity of woman's attire as at present !constituted makes the wearing of furs necessary to comfort during cold weather, and there is little
 doubt that furs will remain in vogue until such time as the dressmakers have remolded feminine ideas of dress.

WORKING FOR ALASKA.

Friends of Alaska will regard with keen appreciation, believes the Seat tie Post-Intelligencer, the energy and the skill displayed by Repre- sentative Curry of California, chair man of the house committee on ter ritories, in advancing the interests of the Northland. Not in recent years, if at all, has a chairman of that important committee been 50 indefatigable in his efforts to ob- tain from Congress the important things which Alaska has sought. His interest in promoting the welfare of the Territory is only partly ex- plained by his long residence on the Pacific coast, part of which time was spent in Seattle. The fact is that MT. Curry has familiarized him self with Alaska's problems to ar unusual degree and he may be counted upon to champion its cause at every opportunity.
 Representative Curry's bill provid ing for an Alaska development board to be composed entirely of req Alaskans, has an excellent chance of becoming law at the next ses sion. It proposes to place the des

tinies of the Northland with its magnificent resources in the hands of the men who have pioneered in the North. With an opportunity to direct it's own affairs and to develop it's great natural wealth without out side exploitation, Alaska will enjoy an unprecedented prosperity.
 One of the purposes of the bill is to take from the department of ag- riculture the management of the Northern forests. The chances of the bill becoming law has been weighed by the forest service, with the result that the rigid regulations governing the Tongass forest have been somewhat relaxed to permit timber to be used for pulp paper and other commercial purposes. In discussing the action of the forest service, Mir. Curry recently said: "The department has loosened up a little, but it hasn't loosened up enough. Its reasons for making some concessions are very clear. It views with alarm the proposal to take the Alaska forests away from the department of agriculture and put them under an entirely Alaskan board. The inducements now offered
 by the secretary of agriculture for the development of the pull paper
 industry are not as liberal as those
 offered by the Canadians, and until , they are we cannot expect much de-
 velopment."
 The shortage of paper throughout
 the country has turned the eyes of
 the country to Alaska, whose great
 natural wealth has hardly been
 touched. It is expected that when
 use is made of the great forests in
 the North, they will supply paper .o the country in perpetuity. The
 growth of the trees suitable fol making pulp is so rapid that new
 crop may be expected every tifteer or twenty years. The paper indus
 try, while highly important, is only
 one of the lines of endeavor which
 will be open when opportunity l:
 given to develop fully Alaska's re sources. Alaskans will give Repre- sentative Curry every encourage ment in his undertaking.

FUR AND BROTHERS.

The break in the Outside fur mar ket will doubtless mean reduction in the volume of the local fur busi- ness during the coming season that will be seriously felt in this section, fears the Nome Nugget. According to recent advices, prices, generally speaking, have fallen from one fourth to one-half during the past month or two, and there is prac- tically no demand for fur pelts of any character. Indeed, it appears that furs have become dangerously close to being a drug on the market, as some of the local buyers have received instructions to make no pur- chases at any price.
 This situation is doubtless nat ural sequence of the amazing boom developed in the fur trade during tthe past year or two. Since 1916 the demands for furs increased to phenomenal proportions. Furs of almost every description found a ready market at prices many hun dred percent greater than ever known before. During the past year or so it vertically appeared that the
 outside world had gone fur mad
