WORK IN ALASKA
 IS EXPLAINED ID
 FRIENDLY SOLONS

In response to senate resolution
 of March 8, 1920, requesting in
 formation as to the development of
 traffic and the settlement of the
 country traversed by the Govern
 ment railroad in Alaska, Acting
 Secretary of the Interior Alexander
 T. Vogelsang, in letter addressed
 to the president of the senate, dated
 March 12, 1920, at Washington, D.
 C., said:
 i Sir: 1 am in receipt of senate resolution 329, directing the secre- tary of the interior to advise : First. What steps have been talk en or are being taken to develop and settle the country traversed by and tributary to the Government railroad being constructed in Alas ka?
 Second. What steps have been taken or are being taken to develop traffic for such railroad when built? Third. Has any organization been created charged with the duty of settling this country and deve!- oping traffic for the road: if not. why has such organization not been formed?
 ] ''In reply, have the honor to e. l. port as follows:
 q. Under the direction of this department over 100000 acres of agricultural lands in the Territory of Alaska have been surveyed to the end that they may be available to entry and patent under the public land laws, particularly the home stead laws as applicable to Alaska. A considerable part of this surveyed territory is within country traversed i by or tributary to the Government railroad now being constructed in Alaska. Under the coal land leas- ing law enacted October 20, 1914 ! (38 Stats, 74D, coal lands in the Boring River, Cook Inlet, Matanus- ka, and Nenana coal fields have been divided into leasing blocks or units and offered for lease. The two fields last named are tributary to the Government railroad in Alaska. Under the authority contained in the Alaska Railroad act of March ;12, 1914 (3S Stats, 3O5), town sites have been established upon public lands along the line of the Government railroad and lots for business and residential uses dis posed Of through the Land and h. dustrial department of the Alaskan Engineering commission under the supervision of this department. Such advice and assistance in finding mar kets has been given to farmers To- cated in the territory tributary to the railroad as could be given with out the expenditure of money there for. "2. Other than as stated in the last paragraph no direct steps have been or are being taken to develop traffic for the railroad.

Icreated charged with the duty of settling the country and developing Itraffic for the railroad for the req son that this department does not deem itself authorized to expend money appropriated by Congress un- der the act of March 12, 1914, and acts supplementary thereto, for pur- poses other than those described in the law, the principal purpose of which is the construction and oper- ation of the railroad and of tele- graph and telephone lines. Careful consideration of the law fails to disclose authority to expend money appropriated hereunder for such purposes as publication of litera- ture for the advice and information of settlers or for spending money for aiding settlers to locate them selves on the land or acquire stock and equipment or for the construc- tion of roads or trails connecting tributary districts and settlements with the railroad.
 II am firmly convinced that some such work as is implied in resolu- tion 329 should be authorized in order that Alaska may be devel- oped and that the Government rail- road may be supplied with traffic. Unless some such steps are taken, it may well happen that the railroad will be losing proposition and that the Territory will remain in a com raratively undeveloped condition. In this connection I enclose a copy of letter addressed by former Secre- tary Lane to Hon. Wesley L. Jones, United States Senate, February 2S. 1920.

 My Dear Senator: You know how deeply interested I have been during my term of office as secre- tary of the interior in the develop ment of Alaska. and you are fla mliar with the recommendation which have made from time to time with that end in view.
 MT. J. L. McPherson, of the Alaskan Engineering commission, has recently submitted to me re- port covering the development of traffic for the Alaskan Government railroad, in which he strikingly sets for the need of necessary aid and encouragement in the creation of local industries and a growing pop ulation that will furnish traffic for the railroad. His report contains the following summarized recom- mendations:
 Natural resources opened to de- velopment.

Prospect0rs Farmers Trappers Tourists
 The Nenana district offers OppOr- tunities for prospecting, farming, and trapping that are unequaled in any other section of Alaska.
 Gold placers of known value, close to Nenana, are producing annually sub- stantial amounts, and there are scores of streams within the district on which little or nc prospecting has been done. These streams, until a short time ago almost inaccessible, are now easily reached by means of the new Govern ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon Il will be the scene of much mining ac MI tivity. =". Farming in the Nenana district has II the advantage of growing season fully II ten days longer than that of any other section of Interior Alaska. There is III III much desirable land in the district open lI to homesteaders, and marketing possi- bilities are being expanded steadily. HI
 Fur-bearing animals of the Nenana and adjacent districts are noted for the II fine quality of their fur, and trappers HI annually bring large numbers of belts III to Nenana and receive for them higher prices than are obtained for the average N furs of other districts. HI Game of all kinds abounds in the l Nenana district, there are scores of trout streams easy of access, and the | Scenlc Won0erS Ot the 0lSSrlcC are un- surpassed The district is the natural gateway to Mt. Mckinley National | Park, and close to Nenana may be viewed the largest coal ledges in the world.

Adyices from Mexico on the revolu-
tionary situation, while fragmentary and
conflicting, cast considerable doubt on the
report that President Carranza had been
made a prisoner A Vera Cruz despatch
bearing Mondays date declared that Car
Vera Cruz had broken through. the revo-
lutionary line and was standing at bay
with 1000 men at San Marcos 81 miles
north of Puebla. On the other hand the
revolutionary leaders along the border are
still claiming that Carranza has been made
captive.
! These reports, however, gave few de
| tails of the capture except to declare that
the entire convoy was taken with the
President that three generals who were
with him had been executed and another
general wounded 1t was added that Car
rama had been ordered returned to Mex
leo city with all consideration and tha
none OF his party was to be killed or mis-

report that CarranZa is still at liberty IN

TEACHER PROBLEM
TO GET ATTENTION
Rrattleboro Teachers Association
Plans Meeting for Tuesday-Maine
State Agent to Speak.
Association

Preparations gre well under way for
a gathering 10 he held under the aus
pices of the BrattleborO Teachers as
sociation Tuesday evening. May IS, in
the high school building for the pur
bosc of creating deeper interest in the
question Of young people training to
become teachers.
One Of the principal features viii be
IN address By Miss t1ofence NJ IIale,
state agent of education in Maine, who
is speaker of great force. There also
will be four four minute speakers, who
are prominent citizens but who are not
teachers Tho program also includes
community singing.
On account Of the crisis OF the
teacher situation ia Brattleboro and
the rest Of the state it was decided by
the local association to take some ac-
tion looking to the solution of the
problem, which seriously affects this
town. The town needs II new teachers
for next year, and so far as is known
only five young people from this town
are taking any training looking toward
teaching
It is the belief of those in touch with
the problems attending the securing of
competent teachers for schools in the
state that each town should supply as
many young people for training each
year as there are new teachers needed
| in order to provide adequately the ed
ucational forces which are in such de-
| mand Since 1916 only five from Brat
| tleboro have gone into the study.
The school building will be opan
Tuesday evening at Z o clock in order
to give those attending the meeting an
opportunity to inspcc+ a display of
work done by pupils from the first
grade through the high school, which
will be on exhibition. The exhibit will
include all kinds of school worl;
and the athletic trophies which
have been won by the school
An interesting part of the exhibit vii
be the new shop work the boys have
done in the domestic science room.

property which already has been decided
to the Fort Dummer Mills includes three
two-tenement houses, one one-tenement
house and three building lots. Employees
of the mills will occupy the tenements.

LEGION TO MAKE "PUsH.
Campaign for New Members to Be
Made Week of May 1922.

The American Legion will hold a cam
paign for new members the week of May
I7-22 that will be different" Instead of
drive" it will be called a push
4 feature that the general public should
be quick to realize is that they, members
of the public, will not be called on to con-
tribute anything except good will. Pos
itively no money contributions will be ex-
pected or received from them. They will
be expected to exhibit their friendship,
but not their checkbooks.
Only some three million men are eli
gible to take active benefit of the Legion
campaign. The organization now has en-
rolled more than a million and half
former service men and women, leaving
some three million who can belong but
who do not.
The ''push" then, is aimed directly at
this minority. All of the combined efforts
of the million and half of their fellows
will be devoted to bringing the absent IN
to the fold, which means that every legion
naire will have to take on and convince
two comrades.
But the Legion has no intention of pass
| ing up the general public, simply because
| it is not asking anything from the pubic
| The Legion keenly desires to interest every
American in It's push" because it believes
it is to every Americans interest to be in
| terested. which is not as ambiguous as II
sounds
| While only one American in twenty
NAV be privileged to come into the Legion
every American must support in his heart
the Legions platform, For God ant
| Country"
The nationwide push is expected t.
reach men in the most inaccessible places
ANY Is ex-service men can form their owl
post by getting together and applying t.
! national headquarters for application

so thinlv settled that it cannot scare u
