declared that nearly every house was
a private still. OF course, all stills
are not necessarily used for business
purposes.
1t is believed that additional PEN
allies. such as taxes for sale of in
toxicating liquors, which it is planned
to add to the punishment of offenders,
may put crimp in the business. The
fact that ships and automobiles con-
tanning liquor may be attached, does
not stop the traffic.
Federal prohibition agents estimate
that the number of stills in Florida
numbers sixteen thousand. This is
small, in comparison to Virginia, which
is said to have about 10000 stills. 1t
has been suggested that perhaps the
number is smaller in this state be-
cause of the proximity of liquor sup
plies to the state which means that
it is so near Cuba and the Bahamas.

d. o. Cant, divisional agent, is of
the opinion that there is a supply of
liquor in the Bahamas for transpor-
tation to Florida of the value of $780,
100000. 1t is claimed that national Of
ficers know it to be fact that of the
supply of 100000 gallons of whiskey
stored in bonded warehouses, there
now remains after four months only
100000 gallons. On this basis in
ten months the supply will be gone.
1t is being shipped, so it is alleged,
to the Bahamas and Cuba, for medi-
cal purposes. but plenty of it finds its
way back to the United States.

CITY PROTESTS
 ABOLISHMENT OF
 SURVEY OFFICE
Conditions Here Are Unlike Those of Western States,
 It is Argued
WOULD DELAY SURVEYS
Papers Would Be Sent to Washington-Action
 To Be Taken

With the abolisbment of the of flee of Surveyor General for the Territory of Alaska ,as proposed in Congress, it would mean that an- nually $22,000 now expended in Juneau in salaries and other ex- penses would be cut off and nine employees would be dispensed with. All surveys would thereafter be sent to Washington, D. C.. for ap- proval, instead of being sent to the Juneau office. That is the opinion of experts at Juneau
 Those who have been inquiring into the subjects say there are spec ial reasons in favor of maintaining the office in Alaska that do not ap- ply in Western states, other than possibly Arizona and New Mexico. In most of the states the land sur veys have already been completed to a point where the work can be thandled in Washington. Alaska. however, 1t isEpofHted out, fs still pioneer country with the greater part of It's public land to be sur veyed and located The Surveyor General acts as the Intermediary be- tween Washington and the settlers. He knows local conditions and therefore can make quick decisions on surveys and questions, accord ing to their merits, with local needs in mind, whilst otherwise they might be held up in Washington in- definitely.
 With the abolishment of the of- flee the field force would still be retained in Alaska, but the work now performed by the local office would be all done at Washington, according to local opinion. Of the total surveys sent to Washington probably 90 per cent of them would be subject to delays ,as there would be no one to pass on them who IS acquainted with the local condi- tions.
 Another effect of taking away the office would be to make neces- sary the creation of new office Of the Secretary of the Territory, as that office at the present time Is combined with that of the Surveyor General.
 Generally the feeling of responsi- ale people in Juneau is that the Surveyor Generals office should not be abolished and representations will likely be made in Washington within a short time, accompanied by the protests of citizens of Ju- neau and vicinity.
