CUTWORM MOTH MAKES
BIDDY LOOK LIKE PIKER

Entomologists at University Farm
have ben studying the problem Of the
cutworm at intervals throughout the
winter. The performance Of single
female cutwork moth goes to show that
the problem cannot be ignored. This
moth, pampered and coddled in her
snug winter home in the insectary, has
laid 2,349 eggs, practically all Of which
have Matched. The entomologists are
experimenting with poison bait and
working on methods of control. The
cutworm has: its parasites and dungeons
enemies, SO the entomologlsts are not
standing alone in this fight to the death.

LEARNING ALASKA

In his address to the Commercial Club recently, Dr. Alfred H. Brooks told of the impression made on John Barton Payne. secretary of the Inter- for, by his trip to t.le North. He said that the secretary, while touch ing only the coast. had gained a great knowledge of the Territory and was able to realize the fmmensity of the country.
 The unfortunate pnrt of it is that
 the secretary of the Interior, as a meun- Der of the Wilson cabinet may end has service next March. If Senator Hard
 ing is elected there will be an entirely new cabinet, and if Governor Cox is elected there IS no certainty that he
 will retain any of the members of the present cabinet So it has been always,
 it seems. that it has been impossible
 to get members of .he cabinet to visit the North until nearly the expiration Of their term. It is to be hoped there- fore that pr. Broot1s and other ofn-
 cials. having influence at the national capital, will do their utmost tmmedi- ately after the forming of the next cabinet to induce the members to visit
 the North.
 No visitor has ever come to Alaska
 without expressing amhzement at wAai he finds, the conditions. the climate
 tho opportunities. the resources. They
 are here. Everyone in Alaska knows :hat, hut the people on the Outside and particularly the ofiicials in Wash. inston who have control of the coun- try do not know it.
 Secretary Payne, until he goes out of oflfce next March, undoubtedly will hear with sympathy an sugsesu ons
 for developmen. of Alasa<a and will do what he can to aid, but 1t is tc
 the next administration that the Ter. r1tory must look for the many projects
 which must be put through. The suggestion of MT. Oliver c.
 Ralston as to the possibilities of de. veDoping the mineral resources in the
 vicinity of Ketchihan hut emphasizes
 the need of an experimental station of the bureau of mines. It is hardly
 % be expected by the government that
 private capital will develop these re-
 sources without the government aid. ing.
 It is to be hoped that Dr. Brooks and MT. Ralston will use their influ- ence in Washington in securing for the
 KetchiI<nn district this experimental sta tfon. .-Ketchilah Chronicle.

VANDERBILT WRITES OF ALASKA

Writing to the New York Times From and about Seattle, Cornelius Van. derthf. Jr.. member of the wealthy Vanderbilt family of New York, speak. ans of what Alaska has done for Seat tie. gives us the following very ac- curste summary
 In 1898 Seattle got its first real star, upaward. The phrase billions in free goh in Alaska" was the byword of the country at the time. In the days of 'ss Seattle jumped from ta rbor post to a tusf.iKg city. The broad harhor was filled with hundreds of little crafts bound for "Eldorado." Those were days when men, women and children went on boats with horses and mules any means by which they could ge, norm. They fought wind and water and colo :o make tin ,r,p to D,wson. Fairbanks, the Yukon, the Iditarod. or to the" golden sands" of Nome. Thru Seattle poured throngs of goldseekers. Men and boys from every station in life who had staked their all on getting free gold from Alaska. outfitted here.
 Today ] saw wheat which was grown in Alaska above the Arctic circle. thirty bushels to the acre. I saw Alaska strawberries, twelve of wh.cn would fill quart jar, yepe- tables which would make Fasteners jealous. and even the middle west feel competition. are on exhibit in the Arc- tic Club. here in Seattle. Today Se- att'e is thinking of Alaska agricultur- ally as well as in the old terms of gold and fish.

Japan least of all has reasons to sue for amefboration of the Jones Merch- ant Marine Law. Before our marine got into action and while the ships m Great Rritain were drawn of to carry munitions for .he war, Japan adopted most shameless methods to advance the interests Of her merchant marine and stifie American competi- ton. Her carrying rates on American goods were advanced to extortiona.e fiEaIres. The dnClcs at Seattle and San Francisco were piled high with goods awaiting shipment to the Ori- ent. Jap soods and vessels were given the prefeence.

THE GOLD BONUS

AJ1SkAnS 8eneraliy anu a1 o1y can he said to be in favor of the so- called McFadden bill which has as it's object the placing of a bonus on newly produced gold. This bonus. it is pro- posed, would be taken care of by a tax on gold used in commercial and industrial arts. The supporters of this bill maintain that it will in no wise effect the gold standard and will re- vive the gold mining industry which has been steadily declining with the ever decreasing value of purcha asing power of gold.
 As gold mining is one of Alaska's s main industries it is not surprising that the bonus proposal is warmly ad- vocased here. The same attitude is naturally expected in other parts of the country where the same industry that some attention is being given the matter in the east. In q recent issue of the New York Evening Post, the bonus plan was advocated by the Har- riman National Bank which present ed is case in q paid advertisement under the heading The Cost of Gofd' as follows:
 The federal reserve act requires that 70 per cent reserve in gold be main tained against notes in actual circula- ton. and 35 per cent against deposits in gold or act,ral money.
 The worlds gold production for 1913 was 3365,141,21s. 10 which the United States contributed $5S.4Ss.s0o, a de- crease in excess of slo,ooo.000 from the previous eyar. We learn that the United States coined no gold in 1918 and 1919, out there was consumed in the industrial arts in the United States alone during 1919. $52.40s,7 ,74o of gold, nearly all that WAS mined in this country.
 Where are We to get the additional gold for our reserves unless We stim. ulate production. and how can we stim- ulate production except by paying for ft? With the high cost of labor and machinery. gold production has dimin- ished because an ounce of gold does not bring enough in the market to cover the cost of producing it, and this is condition that win continue until labor and casts are reduced. The question is will such costs again be reduced to the figure necessary for the gold miner 70 produce his metal at profit? Yes. with denation of nn
 npodity prices and reduced taxes. The Hartman National Bank would favor premium on the use of gold for 3ewefry. dental needs. window letter ing, decorations and a hundred other ways. With this premium upon such uses of sold paid as s,ibsidy :, the nnne-owner. he could undoubtedly make both ends meet and have q Ie. gft1mAte profit wherewith to help nav his ta1es.-Cordova Tines.

ALAskAAs NOT LAWLEss

The fdpaAant remark of ex -Sena tor Albert J. Beverddge against Alaskans as publshed in these columns few days since, where several years ago. as chairman of the committee on ter I ritories he filed a report declaring
 they were lawless people and unfit

So many :imes has 1t been shown that the furthest frontiers men were not only the best and truest types of it's citizenship, bu. the most intelligent as weI1, that it would seem that men having the nerve to ask 6or and hold seats in the United States ] senate, and who aspire to be president | should find it out after a while. In I fact. it does not seem possible for any such person to be ignorant of the truth, which makes it the worse and convdcts the dekamer of these worthy frontier citizens of being not merely mistaken but viciously and wihuIly slandered.
 More than being of the highest in teflisence, Alaskans are the mos. faw- ahfding of all Americans. With prac- tfcalE no peace officers you seldom hear of crime there, but you do fre- quentiy hear of acts of great herolsm, W patriotism as in their quick re- sponse to the war call. and of .hriIHng hardshtps endured in the search of fortune which is for the direct bene- fit of the whole country.

Gas WARFARE AND CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON opinion regarding the British
Wy law forbddns DIE Importation of German
dyes into that country for years that Britain has
made up its mind that gas is going to be the supreme
weapon of the next war and is seeking to make that
country independent of The world in the matter of gas
production. The same Washington authorities are of
the opinion that the closing of the British outlet leaves
this country the only market which the German dye
and chemical makers can exploit
Curiousy enough, the only important military power
in the world which has never pledged itself not to use
gas in warfare is The United States. Captain MRhan,
the great naval sategst, who represented US at the
FIRST Hague conference in 800, took the position that
gas shells are no worse than other proectes, and that
il IS illogical to prohibit weapon because of its nov
city. In the Hague conference of 1907 one of the
rules adopted provided against the employment OF
poisons or poisonous weapons, but this country has
consistently refused to be bound by any such cstrc-
lion.
