 vestigations of the commercial fish cries of Alaska, notably along the Alaska peninsula, the Aleutian is lands, and in Boring sea. The com mittee recommends that these in- vestigations be vigorously advanced by the Bureau of Fisheries and that additional appropriations be asked for if needed to carry out this plan.
 Agriculture and Grazing.
 The committee finds that there are in Alaska (a) large areas of farming land, (b) some stock rang es. and (c) extensive reindeer pas lures; also that the most promising present field for homesteaders is the region tributary to the Alaska rail road. The committee recommends that:
 1. The Department Of Agriculture appoint a sub-agent, qualified by Alaska experience, to be in charge of agricultural investigations in the Susitna, Panama, and Yukon val leys, to have general supervision of the Matanuska and Fairbanks sta tions, and to be provided with the necessary assistants and facilities, so that he may carry on personal in- vestigations CD of the needs of the homesteaders, and @ of the unde- veloped agricultural resources of in- land Alaska; also that he work in close cooperation with the Land and Industrial department of the Alaskan Engineering commission;
 ?. The Agricultural Department make an investigation and report on the commercial possibilities of de- veloping a sugar beet industry in Alaska and, if this be practical, pre- sent a plan for bringing this about; 8. The Agricultural Department make an investigation of the com mercial possibilities of stock raising on the Alaska peninsula and on Kodiak and other islands of South western Alaska and, if this be prac- tical, recommend means by which :: such an industry can be developed 1; 4. All Alaska ocean, river, anu land transportation lines be request ed to grant special passenger rates to farm settlers, and special freight rates on household goods, farm inn plements, breeding stock, and fer tilizer for use of farm settlers; 1 5. The subdivisional surveys be extended by the General Land Office over Alaska farming lands likely soon to be homesteaded; the De- partment of Agriculture be request ed to designate the lands which should be covered by such Surveys and pending the extension of the regular surveys, the General Land Office make the surveys of indi- vidual homesteads as rapidly as pos sible;

 the Alaska petroleum leasing law is liberal for developed fields, for those where there are some surface indi- cations of petroleum, and for those that are readily accessible, it's terms do not encourage the search for oil in inaccessible wildcat territory. The committee believes, for example, that to induce capital to explore for oil in the Arctic coast region of Alaska, where there are some indications of its presence, a more generous law must be enacted. It recommends that this matter be taken under ad visement and that appropriate legis- lation be asked for.
 Lumber and Wood Pulp.
 Wood pulp and print paper fur nish one of the greatest immediate opportunities for the profitable em- ployment of labor and capital in Alaska. The Forest Service esti- mates an ultimate possible annual production of about 100000 cords of pulpwood from Alaska timber, yielding a newsprint product equal to one-third of our present annual consumption. The Tongass National forest Southeastern Alaska) affords the best opportunity for immediate development, and the committee is informed that one bid for 100000 IOOO feet of pulp timber in this dis trict has been received. To encour- age and hasten the development of Alaska timber lands the committee recommends that:
 1. An intensive campaign be made for the development of Alaska pulp wood by laying before the pulp and paper manufacturers and consumers the possibilities of the immediate de- velopment of an industry in the Territory. 2. The surveys of the pulp-wood timber and water powers of the coast region be extended; 8. A reconnaissance be made by the Forest Service of timber re- sources of the Interior, especially with view of determining whether they have values for pulp; 1 4. The export of birch and Sitka spruce timber be encouraged in ev- cry way;
 ). The Forest Service investigate the possibilities of reforestation of the burnt-over lands of the Interior of Alaska.
 Water Power.
 The committee finds that there are extensive water powers in Alas ka; that the exact information about them is exceedingly meager. These water powers are important to the development of the mining, cannery, and pulp-wood industries. The only i investigations made of the water power are carried on by small allot' ments made from the appropriations for the investigations of the mineral resources of Alaska, thereby de creasing the funds available for oth- CT important surveys of mineral wealth.
 The committee therefore recom- mends that Congress be asked for an appropriation of $40,0O0 to in- vestigate the water resources of AL aska with reference to their use to mining, wood-pulp, and other indus tries.
 Fisha-ies. The data collected by the com mittee relating to the fisheries clear lly indicate that there is urgent need of legislation to protect the salmon industry of Alaska so as to prevent ,the depletion of the fisheries; also that the halibut fisheries of Alaska and adjacent international waters are seriously threatened with ex, Ihaustion unless steps be taken look,

DISCUSS BOND ELECTION DATE
Selection of Engineer to Make Ffltra
ton Estimate Also Up Today.

LIOn Ee1lnatc Also Up 1OOoy.
The engineer to make the estimates
and the date of the bond election for
Topeka's new filtration plant were to
be discussed and perhaps decided upon
at a meeting of the city commissioners
at o'clock this afternoon. The meet
ing was to be held in the office of
Mayor H. J. Corwine.
While the commissioners have not
yet formally accepted the recommen-
dations of the civic water committee,
representing nearly $4,000 persons. it
is known the sentiment for filtra-
ton plant is unanimous. Altho the
city's critical water situation makes
the monetary cost of secondary i'm
portance, it is not intended to let that
cost be any greater than is necessary
to meet Topeka's water needs.
A skilled engineer will be retained
to make an estimate on the total cost
of the plant. Whether the bond cleo
ton will be set for general election
day in November or a special election
called will be decided. 1t is explained
the new water plant, inasmuch as the
water department is self supporting,
will not cost the taxpayers or con-
sumers a penny. either in taxes or in
creased water rates. The bonds are
voted as a protection to the contrac-
tors. In other words. Topeka will sign
the water departments bonds. AS the
water department is not likely to run
there is little danger that the city will
have to dig up to pay for the plant
The meeting of the commissioners
was first set for O'Clock this morn
ing but postponed to permit a full at
tendance.

is ON HIS OWN
Lloyd George Declares WrangeI
Has No Support.
Since Warning From Him Anti
Soviet Leader Proceeded.

London. Aug. 16.-Premier Lloyd
George. stated in the house of COM
mons today that the government had
made it clear to General Baron
Wrangel. anti-Bolshevik leader in
South Russia, that IL he further at
tackled the soviet forces he must do
so on his own responsibility.
General Wrangel since then had
opened further operations. the premier
added. and the responsibility, conse-
quently, was his own.
Situation Is Not Crisis.
Washington, Aug. 16. = Premier
Lloyd Georges announcement that
Great Britain had informed Wransel
that any further attack by him on
the Bo1sheviki would be on his own
responsibility comes almost on the
heels of Frances recognition of and
promise of material aid to the anti
Bolsheviki leader.
Some officials and diplomats here
were of the opinion that the situation
was not quito as serious as appeared
on first examination of the premier's
announcement. 1t was said Great
Britain had been aiding General
Wrangel and that it was entirely pos
sible that the British government had
decided to withdraw that aid at this
time because 1t did not desire any
complications in the soviet-Polish ar
mistic negotiations.
L. S. and France United.
The action of France in recognizing
General Wrangel is understood &c
have met with the approval of tht
American government and the French
reply to the American note to Italy
on the Polish Russian situation. which
was received yesterday has disclosed
that the United States and France
practically are as one in their policy
toward Russia.
State department officials said to
day they had received no information
as to whether tho British government
| intended to reply to the American note
| in which the United States said 4
would welcome u declaration Of policy
by the allies as to the future of Russia
A rejoinder from Great Britain anC
also from Italy still is expected, how
ever
