JOHN NOON WILL TELL
 oUTslDE ABOUT NORTH

The Pioneers of Alaska are send ing an envoy to the States to pre- sent the needs of the Territory not only at Washington. bu: to commer- cial bodies all over the United States that have presented a general invita- ton for the envoy to visit them. The Pioneers have chosen John Noon of Seward. one of the mos: popular and best -dnfonmed men in Western Alaska.
 The Seward oatewny has the fol- lowing to ay about MT. Noon and his mission:
 Seattle is already humping itself to out1o any other city. even little old New York, in .he public welcome to be given John Noon upon his ar- rival Outside according to private ad- vices received in Seward. Mir. Noon leaves on the Northwestern for Wash ington City as the representative of the Order of Pioneers and the united commercial organisations of .he Ter ritory. His general orders are to get relief for this bureau-ridden, bureau. ruined Territory from too much con- servation and too little prosperity. The missaon is supported by fund created by public subscription. which it is now believed by the promoters of the plan will run Co $lo.ooo or more when the other territorial cities turn lin their quotas. and private citisens willing to help have sent in individual subscriptions. Already unsolicited contributors are beginning to be handed in to :he hanacs. and there is no telling just the amount that will be put up.
 "The aftair has been elaborately stage-managc1 Outs Ge. and alrea6y the Alaska representative Is besin- ming to be called the High commIs- sfoner. Envoy Extraordinary. and othey diplomatic titles sisnifying the import ance that will be attached to the mis- sion. There is a general belief that it will be taken by the American peo. pie as the appeal Of a distressed pep pie to the generosity of their country men. and whatever else is results may be it will open the public eyes to the actual conditions unjustly forced upon Alaska in recent years.

ALASKA PIONEER ts
 MANNER PATRIOT

The Anchorage Ig4oo of Pioneers recently received Q letter from Peter Peterson. member of the Ie4oo. sav- ing an account of his attempt to en- list in the war aeainat Germany. News truvels very slowly 70 points in the remote interior and there are prob. ably several men who have not heard d the great war of the world powers.
 That MT. Peterson was imbued with path )otisnn 'of the highest order is shown by the following letter in an- issue of the Times:

BACK UP rhE ROAD COMMISSION

The condfrehensfve sratement of Col. steese, head of the Alas1n Board of Road Consdssioners, at the Ju- neau Comtnerciai Associat tion luncheon recently, is very satisfactory reading to Ahaasrans. The program that was outlined in taht statement should, and wih receive the earnest suppor. of the people of Alaska. The decision 10 ask for $1,000,000 a year for roads :n Alaska is timely, and there should be no difficulty in securing the adoptios of the program. The Federal Gov ernInent owns, it has been estimated ss per cent of the resources of Alaska and Congress should appropriate the money that is necessary for .he devel- optnent of the same. It would be wholly unfair to compel the people of the Territory to continue to spend most Of the money toward road builj. ing when they own but two per cen, of the Territory's resources.
 There is no one thing that Wi, count more for the development of Al. ask;a then road construction. Ther. should be roads to all sections of tn, country in that the resources might h. made available for development. | Congress will provide q .0O0. 900 a yea
 for roads in addition to the funds aris ing from the resources of the Territor. that are allotted to that purpose 1
 would do a great deal to bring. abou an increase of the population. and Al
 aska needs population more than any
 thing else in the world ld.-Juneau Elm

THE NEW SHIPPING BILL
(By John Rus.Eard)

(By John Rus.Eard)
 Word comes from Juneau that the leading political iasue in the first di- vision Is raised by the now famous Alaska clause in the new shipping bill. This clause. an substance. pro. vides that fredsht originating in the east. shipped over Canadian railroad line to Prince Rupert. may be trans- por.ed in Canadian vessels to Seattle. but 1t cannot be transported to Alas In in the same boat. but only fin some American boat: and that freight can not be shipped from Alaska over a Canadian railroad to the east, unless 1t is carried from Ahs1la in an Amer ican boat.
 The whole thing is a Seattle scheme. The object os this clause was to p~evert the people oe this ter ritory from shipptns over Prince fsu- pert and compelling them to ship over Seattle. And this Is the efeec. of the new law.
 Prince Rupert and the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad are the natural out Iets not only for the fresh flah of southeastern Alasla. but also for all other shipments to and from .he east.
 George B. orissby. democratic can- didate for delegate. admits the law Is q bad one. but says he protested against 1t. His record does not sup port him on that point. "H
 The closing of Prince Ruper. to AL aska trade was urged upon congress by the shipping board and its Seattle attorneys. Mir. 0Hsaby was present before the senate committee at the time and nodded his assent.
 Alter protest was wired by the var ious municipalities in southeastern A. aska Mir. Gr1ssby made a formal pro- test-so he says. But no such pro- test is of record. v
 When the bdn came up in the house for final action enlightenment upon the meaning of the peculiarly worded Alaska clause was sought by Mir. Bran.on of Texas. but MT. 0r4gsby declined to shed tlfe light. He ren,Ain- ed silent and allowed the house nicst1- bers to vote on the bin under the i'm pression that they were voting a bonus for the Canadian shipping in Alaskan waters. An explanation and protest from MT. Grigsby at that time would have killed the bill. As 1t was. it passed by small margin. Anchor age Times of October.

The carrying of. the man by way of Broad RsA marks . new step forward for Nenana. It Yhar1xs the beginning of resulsr travel between NenaAa and the coas. and -hebss1osah that ks~vsl win inc,ease sei a skseay .sate. The award Of the mil c6ne1act b the A. E. C. will attract practically all the travel to Broad ra| ssurintthe nomtds winter and a SSar hence the Nenana trail will be the only one in use be- tween Interior Alasln ana the coast After that the szihroad will put the trafiic on a permhnen4 basis and trail rivalry will cease for .aM time.
 The unfortunate feature of Ahe new arransement is that travel can not te diverted from one traii to another withou. hardship on the abandoned trail and communities tributary to It. As conditions are at the present .ime in Alaska, there is not travel enough for two trails and no community sui. ficiently prosperous as to be indiffer- ent to such loss. That Nenana't gain should mean loss to a neighbol is not a pleasing outlook, but 1t is q part of the scheme of development that is now taking form and Is. after
 all, only speeding a situation thai

UTILITIES COMMISSION

Conditions in the Territory of Alas ka have reached . state now that there Is material demand for the estab- Ashment of a Public Utilities commis- sion, patterned after those in practi- ealy all the -states of the union. The need ds % great that another session Of the legislature. should not go by without favorable action being. taken on this prcDosal.
 O3 the nsed of a Public Usilitiss comEasston, eondittsps In ketchilxan may be cssed: and Kstchilzan Is in no dilRersnt position than Q number of other municipalities of the North.
 The. CsaiAens Light. Power and Water company has made appAcation for a franohise for period of years. The council has seen fiji to gran. the franchise, subject to the approval of the voters. The matter of rates, under this franchise, Is left to the determin- ation Of the proper bodies from time 70 time as conditions may demand.
 Now, in the matter of iates. both the company and the town are entitled to the proper safeguards. The company with ,tts large investments, in all equity, must have fair shake for i.s money: but on the other hand the townspeopae must know that they too are being treated fairly In the matter of rates and service.
 The franchise is in effec. a contract. The town and it's people on .he one hand is a party to it and the company on the other hand is a party to 1t. Both are interested and the proper means of establishing rates and se.- ting any differences between these parties is an impartial, outside body, one not subject to influence of either side. or subject to prejudice or bias. With its investments and plans for further investments. the company Is entitled to hnow that any new council for mere whin. political sxpedieney or. other extmneous reason will not annually put them to a great deal of inconvenience in going through a rate war.
 On the other hand. the people are entitled to skilled, expert, technical in. formation in the establishment of rates, to see that proper rates are es- tablished. Az, matter of business, the council of any town is not prepared with data sufficient :o permit them 10 judge with certainty the merit of any showing made by the power compan- ies as to rates. Ii the Territory had 8 public utilities commission, however with a technical man at its head as as executive secretary. he could gather data not only from all points of the Territory. but frohn all over the coun- try widch would enable the body to deal fairly and well with all concern ed. .,-.--s . -
 It is 10 the psblic interest. for the investor and the consumer that Alaska should have Public Utilities comnis- sion. The foregoing is but one in- stances of the sood tha. such q body could do. and there are many others. -Ketchihan chro1acle.

GOOD SHOW TONIGHT
 AT THE EMPRESS

"The Rescuing Angel" a merry mixup, humorous and amusing, is to- nights feature at the Empress.
 When Angela Deming Shirley Mason) decided to keep her mar riage secret, she made possible end less complications. And those com plications pile right up, one on top of another, (n the sparkling little comedy drama "Rescuing Angel" ," playing tonight at the Empress.
 Given, three suitors, one self made and wealthy, another also wealthy but from a family of aris- tocrats, the third, former boyhood idol, but with neither money nor brains, and what would a poor girl do?
 At any rate, Angela did it, and kept it dark, and she got just what she deserved too, and what might be expected. But if you think you can guess the outcome of this mixup you're all wrong, for it's not what you think at all and the only answer is: Come and see.
 A Pathe News, Travel and a short comedy complete well bal anced program.
 On Sunday night comes Dorothy Dalton in a powerful drama "EX- travagance." A play that is right to the point, which doesn't in the least preach, but which gives food for thought without detracting from it's value as splendid entertainment.
