FINDINGS AND RECOMMEND
 ATIONS.

Alaska is served by three ocea, transportation systems; the Alaska Steamship company and the Pacific Steamship company being American lines, and the Canadian Pacific be. ing Canadian company. The Alas ka Steamship company serves all main sections of the Territory, the Pacific Steamship company all sec tions excepting the Boring Sea or Nome route, and the Canadian Pa citic company only Southeastern Alaska or inside passage ports.
 The freight and passenger rates of the American companies show a general increase since 1914. Wheth- er these rate increases have been justified was not inquired into by the committee, as such inquiry, ne- cessitating an expert examination of the company's operating costs and property valuations, could not be undertaken in the brief time al lowed for the committees investiga- tions. The committee therefore at tempted only to ascertain whether the Territory could develop under existing rates.
 It was the opinion of practically every person appearing before the committee that money could not be attracted to Alaska, industries de- pendent upon transportation by reg ular lines started, or general devel- opment go forward freely under ex- isting rates, and this was the con- clusion reached by the committee. Having reached this conclusion, the committee sought to determine the elements in the transportation situ- ation, controlling efficiency and cost of service, to ascertain whether an equal or better service might be secured at a lower cost, and if so, whether freight rates might not be reduced accordingly.
 The following were the outstand- ing transportation elements thus de- veloped:
 1. No material benefits now ac- crue from maintaining two Ameri- can lines. There is no competition.
 2. The Alaska freight and pass enger traffic load has two high peaks, spring and fall, requiring an excess equipment in order to insure suffi- cient elasticity to meet them.
 3. The total freight carried year. ly by the American lines is approxi- mately half the total cargo space. revealing the extent of the econom- ic loss occasioned by the traffic peaks.
 4. The service is at times very irregular, due to the nature of the traffic handled and lack of co-ordin- ation of sailings between the two companies. ..=". "." +
 5. Regular, and the best possible service to all districts of Alaska, cannot be given by existing com

Timber Resources.

The best timber Tn Alaska, chlef- ly composed of Sitka spruce and hemlock, is in the Tongass National forest in Southeastern Alaska and in the 'Chugach National forest in the Prince William Sound reg .on. These two forests embrace 20,00G,- iOOO acres, approximately fye per cent of the total area of Alaska. Between these two forests lie ebo.!t two million acres of timber of sim liar character. In the Interior there lis approximately between fifty and Iseventy-fve million acres of spruce, birch, and cottonwood. This is chiefly valuable for local use.
 The national forests are estilnat- ed by the forest service to include seventy-seven billion feet (BM) of timber suitable for lumber and pulp. The annual production of timber is relatively small, but the proportion of timber cut from the national forests, as compared with lumber imported, is steadily increasing. In 1906 the lumber shipped into Alas ka composed S6 percent, as com pared with 14 percent cut from na- tional forests. In 1919 the propor- ton was exactly reversed, 86 per- cent being produced locally and II percent imported, chiefly Douglas fir for heavy construction purposes. Alaska Sitka spruce is now being exported as far as the Atlantic coast for specialized use, and the birch will also in all probability find an export market.
 Reindeer.
 Between 1892 and 1902 the Gov ernment imported 1,2sO reindeer into Alaska for the use of the Alas ka natives. The natural increase from the original stock has resulted in a herd numbering nearly 100000, besides which about 100000 have been killed for food and skins. Of these about 69 percent belongs to the natives, 5 percent to the mis- sions, 23 percent to Laplanders and other whites, and percent are still in Government ownership.
 There is company at Nome which engages in raising reindeer for the market. Their herd now in- cludes nearly 10000 animals, and they have three cold storage plants in operation and two more in con- struction. Shipments of reindeer meat are limited to cold storage of steamers running to Nome, and were 99,OOO pounds in 1918, and 37,00O pounds in 1919.
 There are extensive reindeer pas lures in inland Alaska and on the shores of Boring sea and the Arctic ocean. It is estimated that these pastures should support total of nine million to ten million animals. The reindeer range tributary to Broad pass, and hence to the Gov ernment railroad, should be capable of supporting some 600,0OO animals. This, if utilized, will give tonnage to the railroad and would furnish a new source of meat and leather from a region which has no value for other purposes.
 Furs.
 Since 1867 Alaska has produced furs to the value of about $9O, ,40O,- poo, of which about $53,OO0,O00 the value of the seal skins. The value of the Alaska furs has increased from $761,729 in 1913 to $2,28S,170 in 1918. Of these amounts, $66,O95 in 1918 and $924,57O in 1918 represent the value of the fur seals killed by the on Pribilof islands.

A THEATRE MYSTERY

INVESTIGATING commissions -four
l. ish with n peculiar glory in the
United States. As a people we have
developed an almost unbelievable faith
in the groups Of solemn gentlemen who
sit down to take testimony and ask
questions and look wise when things go
wrong. They seldom accomplish much.
But they are somehow soothing to the
public mind. Now and then they really
do bring valuable bits of truth to the
surface. and that is why it might be
worth while to appoint n commission
to inquire during the summer into the
mystery Of tho thCatregoerS who never
reach their seats on time and crowd
down front after the performance is
well under way to compete for the at =
tention of tho audience with the people
on the stage.
Ordinary folk who go to theatres pay
money to 50" play. or something that
is called a play. and not to have their
toes tramplcd in the scmidarkness by
fiustorod and hurrying folk who get
between them and tho stage regularly
at five minute intervals throughout the
first act
The first pnrt Of any first act is i'm e
portant 70 an audience. since it pro
vidcS TIE clues and intimations abso =
uteIy necessary to hold plots of the
modern fragile sort together even in an
att"ntiv" mind. First acts are spoiled
nightly in almost every theatre by the
late arrivals.
What n commission ought to toll us
is what these folk do between the hours
Of and . in the evening. Are din 70
nerS longer than they used to be? Arc
hats moro difficult to adjust? Or is the
beIated ticket holder just another sign
Of relaxed social morale?
On" of these days the theatres may
hN forced to adopt a rule like that es
rahltshed by the Philadelphia Orchestra
and compel late arrivals to stay out OF
the auditorium until there is an inter
mission on the stage.

inevitably would die OF their own
weakness within year. Meanwhile
cholera. the influenza. bubonic plague
and sleeping sickness march almost un -
hindered over a large part of Europe.
The lack of soap and medicines and dis
infectants in Russia and parts Of south
eastern Europe is responsible largely
for this new horror. And the medical
authorities of the United States gov
ernment have to fight day and night to
keep these same plaques out Of our own
country.
They have not been wholly successful.
At Pensacola. Newport News. New
York and other ports even the strictest
quarantine rules have not been adequate
to prevent the appearance Of disease
ordinarily unknown in Americas We
shall never see on this side Of the world
any great spread Of these plagues. But
it is odd to observe that politicians and
statesmen abroad let them thrive un-
checked because they were obsesscd by
fear of n few political ideas generated
b. fanatics. and doomed to vanish as
soon as they were brought into contact
with clear air.

AFTER THE SHOUTING

TN ALL that was written and printed
i yesterday about the flag Of the United
States there was nothing. 50 far as we
were able to observe TO suggest con
demnation of the tinhOrn patriots who
regularly debasc that superb symbol by
using it as n personal badge and trade
mark for their own peculiar ends.
Yellow journals use the flag and use
Il largely and ask their readers to be-
lieve that they reflect its meanings.
Politicians paw over it. The Colors are
waved furiously every few months by
little men who try to appear noble in
its company. There ought to be a
stricter rule to guard the flag from in =
discriminate use. 1t is one Of the great
and sacred things Of the world Its
display should, therefore. be- ccrcmo-
nious and formal Only few years ago
there were many small business men
who didn't hesitate to use the cOlOrS
for a trademark and print advertising
across it until they were checked by
Congress.
Congress might 60 little farther and
see that the flag is not used to subtly
advertise unworthy men or things.
