 Liberal Policy Urged T am in favor of practicing economy, but failure to spend
 money in deve.oping property and territory we own will cause us to lose more than the cost. We must not be stingy with Alaska. It is territory rich in mining, furs, fishing and timber, but the great
 permanent asset there is its agri- cultural possibilities.
 Sen. Jones said he regarded the water power development measure as beneficial legislation for Alaska in that it would make possible the development of the wood pulp in- dustry and plants requiring much power, and said the measure under proper administration should hasten the development of the Territory as well as be a boon to the entire west.
 "I trust this measure for which worked so actively will have a wise, careful and liberal adminis- tration I like the priciple of the so-called Alaska Board measure and Alaska and the state of Washington can do much to make that principle of government for Alaska successful if they will agree on the major principles.
 ''One objection to this Board comes from the departments which are now interested in the adminis- tration of the Territory and one thing that hampers effective gov ernment under our present system is the jealousies and pulling apart of various departments of the gov-t ernment. Each bureau seems to resent any improvements offered by mother department"

FISHERMAN SHOT BY HIS PARTNER
 IN DOUGLAS ROW
Allen E. Lee in Hospital With Two Bullet Wounds
 Through the Body

With two bullet holes in his body Allen E. Lee, P, lies seriously wounded at the Dawes Hospital and Donald Millness, IS, is in the Federal jail charged with the shooting.
 The affair occurred at 6:30 o'clock Saturday evening in Douglas in a cabin on the City dock, jointly occu- pied by the two men, who were partners in a fishing venture in which they operated the fishing boat North Star for the J. H. Long cannery of Douglas. According to both, they had an argument in which Lee called Millness number of vile names. Millness became an gered, and getting his g calibrc Colts automatic. shot once and wounded Lee. The two men clinched and in the clinch the second shot gun and ran out on the street cry ing for the police. He ran some thing block and collapsed near the Hunter Hotel corner
 Millness remained in the cabin until Deputy Marshal George l.. Johnson arrived and took him to the Douglas City Jail. He was trans ferred from that place to the Fed eral jail in Juneau later in thel evening.
 In the meantime, bystanders who had seen Lee fall brought him to Juneau on the 6:5' ferry and placed him in Dawes Hospital.
 Yesterday Lee had considerable fever but today had improved and had no pain but is exceedingly weak. Dr. Dawes would not venture any statement as to the probable result of the wounds. Favorable signs are the fact that he did not bleed much either internally or .exter nally and that the bullets were steel jacketed and did not tear as they passed through his body.
