ALASKA ADVISORY COMMITTEES
 REPORT IS PRESENTED IN DETAIL.

the mouth of the KuskokWim river would deplete the salmon run to the detriment of the natives and whites living on the upper river, and there fore that such fishing should be cur tailed or prohibited. An investigation of this matter by the bureau of fish cries would appear to be justified.
 4. The best route of approach to the lower Kuskokwim valley from the Yukon river is by the Portage Trail. This crosses swampy lowland about 25 miles wide, connecting the valleys of the two rivers. The lowland is traversed by many streams and dotted by numerous lakes. Travel is by boats along the streams and lakes, and by swampy trails connecting the waterways. Mail is carried over this route, and there is considerable other travel. It has been suggested that the route could be improved at no great expense and thus give better access to the lower Kuskokwim valley.

NAVIGATION

The committee finds that only about g per cent of Alaska's ocean water ways have been charted, and that there is a great lack of lighthouses and other aids to navigation. These conditions are one of the contributing elements to the high operating costs of Alaska steamers. The committee has received a number of specific recon mendatiOns for installation of aids to navigation. In most instances, how ever, the information is not sufficient ly complete to justify the endorsement of such projects. The committee, how ever, feels justified in recommending that:
 l. A lighthouse be built at Cape Spencer, near Icy Strait.
 2. Aids to navigation be placed at the entrance to the Kuskokwim river
 The committee further recommends that congress be asked to give in- creased appropriation for the chart ing of Alaska coast line, and for aids to navigation.

kUSkOkWIM REGION

Certain needs of the Kuskokwim valley whose fishing and mineral re- sources are now attracting attention, have been laid before the committee. In view of the lack of complete in formation about this region the com mittee hesitates to make definite rec ommends. The following matters are, however, called to the attention of the inter-departmental committee for it's earnest consideration:
 1. By the existing statutes the Kus- kokWim basin now lies in three diff ferent judicial districts, and it has been pointed out that this makes the enforcement of law both difficult and expensive. It has been recommended to the committee that the Kuskokwim basin be placed in the Second judicial district by change of boundaries. (See Nelson bill, Sen 4205, April 12, 1920)
 2. It has been represented to the committee that there is only one dep uty marshal in the entire Kuskokwim basin It has been recommended to the committee that a second marshal should be provided for this region.
 3. It has been represented to the committee that commercial fishing at

MAIL SERVICE

The postoffice department has fur nished the committee with the follow ing statements with reference to the Alaska mail service:
 ''In 1916 there were 51 mail routes the number increased to 55. The num- Der of steamboat routes from Seattle to Alaska ports was 28 in 1916 and the same in 1920, but the number of dispatches of mail from Seattle to 8 principal ports in Alaska was 40 to 50 per cent less in 1919 than in 1916, showing a great decrease in actual sailings from Seattle to Alaska in 1919 over 1916. Mail is sent from Seattle to Alaska on every availabl sailing that will expedite it's delivery.
 Under the reduced opportunities to send mail to Alaska, the postoffice de- partment succeeded in 1919 in making g dispatches per month during the summer to Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway; 6 each to Petersburg, Cor dova, Valdez, and Seward; and during the winter of 1919, trips per month each to Ketchikan and Juneau; 6 to Seward; 5 to Cordova and Valdez; to Wrangell and Petersbug; and to Skagway.
 "The postoffice department advises that it is necessary to maintain regu- lar sailings with fixed ports of call to give Alaska mail service common gurate with it's commercial needs, and for such service the department has always paid rate for carrying the mails far in excess of the rates for freight and express matter.
 Since July 1, 1918, the department has not been able to induce either of the two steamship companies operat- ing to Alaska to make bid for carry ing the mail to stated ports of call and on a fixed number of sailings. One of the companies refused to bid for the
The Cordova daily times., 1920-06-28

service to cover stated points, and the other company refused to bid on a con- tract on a fixed number of sailings. Each company prior to July 1, 1918, mad made such contracts"
 The committee has received many general criticisms of the Alaska mail service and a number of definite rec concentrations for the modification of existing mail routes
 The committee believes that the i'm provement of ocean transportation herein recommended will make it pos sible to so improve the mail service as to meet all the general criticism. The information and time available to the committee are insufficient to jus tify specific recommendations in re- gard to mail routes. The committee recommends that:
 i. In connection with the revision of the transportation system suggested in this report, encouragement of the ocean mail routes be provided, to the end that more frequent and more ex- tensive service be given Alaska. 2, The postoffice department con- fer with the inter-departmental Alaska committee for recommendations in the selection of the most feasible routes to meet the needs of the inland com munities.

 2. An extension of the stock rais- ing homestead act to Alaska, modified to meet the conditions in the terri tory.
 PUBLICITY
 The committee finds need for intel ligent publicity for Alaska, and recom- mends that:
 1. This should take the form of placing before the business interests of the country the possibilities of the industrial development of the terri tory. To bring this about studies of various possible industries, such as have been recommended above, should be made, and statements prepared covering the elements entering into such development.
 2. No effort should be made to bring to Alaska permanent residents beyond the capacity of the industrial development to maintain them.
 8. A publicity campaign should be directed to the attraction of tourists and pleasure seekers to Alaska.
 f. The work of the territorial pub Iicity bureau, the land and industrial department of the Alaskan engineer ing commission, and the various fed eral bureaus engaged in advertising Alaska, and, so far as possible, that of private agencies such as the Seat tie and the several Alaska chambers Of commerce, should be co-ordinated.
