BOARD
 SAVES $GOO,oOO, LEEHEy ASSERTS

Maurice D. Leehey told the inter departmental commission at Seattle that some local regulatory body or commission living in Alaska is nec- essary to regulate ocean shipping and adjust complications arising in water transportation. He stated that the Alaska Territorial Shipping board had saved the people of Alas ka at least s6OO,OO0 by preventing the proposed increase in freight rates last fall He said it developed that such increase was suggested by the Canadian lines in correspondence with the American steamship con- panies at Seattle. Indeed, such an increase was once announced by E. P. Clark, of the Alaska Steam ship company, while the Admiral line issued a statement, when it withdrew the Senator from the Nome run, that it was losing money, and would have to increase rates.
 R. M. Semmes, traffic adviser of the Territorial Shipping board, and his accountants were engaged at that time in assembling traffic data, a summary of which has been pub lished in the hearing of the senate committee on commerce last March The steamship companies granted another increase in wages in Au- gust, and an increase in the price of fuel oil was announced, so they declared it would be necessary to increase rates. A conference with Governor Riggs was had, and notice was served by MT. Leehey that any increase in rates would be resisted. The Territorial Shipping board has thus far prevented the proposed in- crease, although the price of fuel oil is increasing. MT. Leehey says they are prepared to show that any increase in rates would cripple the Territory and so reduce traffic that the revenues of the lines would be actually diminished by any increase in rates.
 Tonnage Figu-es.
 The increase proposed last fall would average s1 per ton. The Alaska and Pacific Steamship com panies last year handled 295,49O tons of northbound freight and 27S,- 199 tons southbound, a total of 573,6S9 tons. It is believed that traffic this year will exceed 600,00C tons, in view of the increased ton mage of the Alaskan Engineering commission, so that an average in lcrease of S1 per ton means say ing to the people of Alaska this year of over $6OO,OOO. Indeed, the say ing is greater, because it was alst proposed to increase passenger rates Mir. Leehey cited this in his argu ment for the control of Alaska af

G6T. IARRAzOLO DENIES
DlCTAT|NG TO BOARD

Santa Fe, June 30.-An account
ant to be designated by the New
Mexico Taxpayers Association will
assist the state travelling auditors
office in making a thorough audit
Of the accounts of the Agricultural
College, If Governor Larrazolo's re-
quest upon that organization is fav-
orably acted upon.
The governor declares that he de-
sired disinterested accountant to
assist in the work so there might be
no question of accuracy and impair
tiality of the audit. Counter claims
with respect to the status Of the ac-
counts of this institution have been
made by Governor Larrazolo, on the
one hand, and the three regents re-
moved from office on June 2S, on the
other.
Governor Larrazolo declared that
under the law he was compelled to
remove these regents, who, he said,
had exceeded appropriations author
lied by an amount that is estimated
to run the deficit between $54, 900
and $4,000. The counter claim of
the three regents is that not only
is there no deficit at all, but that
on the contrary, at the close Of this
fiscal year, there will be credit
balance Of $25,360.
In discussing the charge, coming
from several sources, that he was in
censed because he was not permit
ed by the board to name the success
sor to DR., A. D. Grille, the retiring
president, and that he removed the
board partly for this reason, the gov
ernor declared that nothing could be
further from the truth.

 GAME FOR SOME WEEKS
Frederick R. Coudert and Two Sons Planning Excursion Into Wilds
 of Alaskan Peninsula.

Frederick R. Coudert brother of Mrs. Thomas Riggs, Jr., with his sons. Frederick R. Coudert Jr, and Tracy Coudert, arrived in Juneau last night and will remain here for sev- eral days as the guests of Mrs. Riggs as the Governors house, before leav- ing for the Westward where they big game.
 Mir Coudert who with Mrs Cou- dert, visited Juneau last summer. is glad to return to the North. There is lure to Alaska. it's fine weather and delightful scenery, one remem- bers," he said.
 Because of it. MT. Coudert has faith in the cont inued attraction of the North for tourists and travellers
 Since early spring, Mr Coudert has spent most of his time travelling. In April, Mr. and Mrs. Coudert left New York fN Europe, wheer they re- mained until July.
 While abroad, MT. and Mrs. Cou dert made the trip from London to Paris by airship.
 The development of the air pass enger service in Europe is remark able, Mir. Coudert said. and should mark the pace for a like develop ment in this country.
 Mir. Coudert crossed into Germany and went over much of the ground involved in the world war. The people of France are greatly concern ed with the present turmoil in East ern Europe and consider the present danger as great, if not greater. than that which existed in 1914 They feel certain that if the Bolsheviki break through Poland. it will be only a matter of time before the Bolsheviki join with the Germans and invade the country again, he said
 Mir. Coudert. with his sons and George w. Folta. secretary to Gov. Riggs. win leave next week for the Kenai Peninsula where they will hunt for several weeks. They will be in Juneau again about October l, on their way south.

INDUSTRIES OF
 INTERIOR FAIL
 BEFORE DROUTH
Most Protracted Drouth in History Reported All Over
 Interior Country.

teriOr is suffering from the effects of the most protracted drouth in it's entire history. according to Territor- ial Secretary R. J. Sommers, who re- turned to Juneau last night on the steamer Alaska after visit of sev eral weeks to Fairbanks and vicin ity. An unusual amount of activity in road work and railroad building is in progress, but other classes of work are quiet, said MT. Sommers.
 Farmers Suffer
 Placer gold mining. he said. is feeling the effect of the drouth everywhere. On Goldstream. where large opencut operations have been in progress for years, and where water is generally plentiful, it mas been found necessary to work only shift day in sluicing. the water supply being insufficient to accomo- date more. Other creeks in the Fairbanks district are suffering ac- cordingly. Conditions in the Brooks district are reported to be even more serious. Many dumps taken ont in last winters operations are still un. to make any cleanups.
 The crops in the Panama Valley farming region are likewise suffering from the dry weather For the first time in the history of the agricEl tural industry the rainfall has been ;1i, to q ,t.z growing crops. While the grain is ny no means failure, he said lt will probably not yield more than half of the normal average per acre
 Labor Short
 The Interior districts, said Mr SOmmers, like nearly every other section of Alaska, are short of men 10 meet the demands made by var ous industries for labor This adds to the period of temporary depression ditions for both gold mining and farming.
 kantishna Looms Up
 The Kantishna district is looming I'D as one of the most promising mineral zones of Alaska, he stated Many prospectors are in the hills and several optfits are actively en gagged in preparing for mining op erations on q large scale. Mir. Som mers accompanied Col James c Steese, President of the Alaska Road Commission, into the Kantishna to look over the route for the road connecting up to the Kantishna River and furnishing a route for transpor- tation to meet the ever growing de mandS of the district Work on this project will be carried to compile tion this fall $10,000 being expended on it.
 Eight hundred tons of galena ore mined by Thomas Aiken last winter have been hauled to the river, and it is planned to operate the mine dur ing the coming season on the same scale as last year Two big hydratl- lie plants are being installed in the district and will be in operation he fore another year.
 Looked Over Roads
 Mr. Sommers made the trip to the Interior with Col. J. c. Gotwals. Engineer Officer of the Alaska Road Commission, to go over the valgous projects with him. After Col Get walls departure, Mir. Sommers accom- panied Col. Steeseson the lattere in-. ipection of roads. They came out over the trail to Valdez. Col. Steese. going into the Anchorage country. while Mr. Sommers returned to Ju- neau.
