Capt. Dancey, of Canadian Army, Speaks Under Aus
 pices of Legion Post.

Commemora,:ve Of Constitution Day, arrangements have been made by the Afford John Bradford Post. American Legion for Captain Stanley, H. Dancey, formerly of the Canadian army, to deliver his famous lecture, "One Hundred Per cent American ism" next Friday evening. Consti- tuition Day falls. on the day follow ing.
 Announcement of the Legion's plans was made this afternoon by Adjutant George A. Mann who stated that Manager John T. Spickett had donated the Palace Theater for the occasion and that the lecture would be delivered free of charge Man ager Spickett, it was stated. will cancel the usual second show on Fri day evening. Patrons attending the first show are invited to remain over for the lecture In addition to the lecture musical program is being prepared for the occasion.

lawabidng citizenry the backbone of any nation.
 "The new administration has here in an opportunity by a reasonably quick move, with but a small outlay for the first unit, to establish it's now oftrepeated claim of intention to really do something toward the de velopment of Alaska's resources. for no big business should have any reason to in anywise embarrass the administration in this field
 Could Double Population
 Twenty-Five miles of road would provide for the needs of the present settlement on the north side of kachemak Bay and open up for set clement enough more south slope az ricultural land to more than double the population of that region. Until roads are provided and the dairy in- dustry so fostered hOmesteading in this or any other region of Alaska will largely be either for only tenn. pOrary convenience or else for specu- lative purposes in the vain hope of selling out upon a possible boom In either case such settlement will be most largely indulged in by bachelors instead of by men with families; the the fact that in the settlement on the north side of kachemak Bay only eight married men reside and these conditions are duplicated elsewhere
 Let the government put in the necessary roads and back up the de- velopment of the dairy industry upon commercial basis and it is a safe bet that the population in such fla vored neighborhoods would more than double immediately, the major ity of those coming in would be mar, ried men, real homes would be es tablished, the resources of the conn- trv would be husbanded. the needs of the Territory for dairy products met and in five years the government be fully reimbursed for it's outlay.
 Prompt Action Urged
 Are these reasons sufficiently inn nortant that every boosting organiza- tion in Alaska and elsewhere get back of them by urging upon the ad- ministration prompt action?
 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick And certainly the hopes of Alaskans for the development of it's demonstrated resources have been de- ferred too long already, so that such a move as is herein advocated where the cost of the initial unit would be a mere bagatelle should receive hear. ty endorsement and quick action. and would most undoubtedly rebound to the honor of the administration

He has spoken both at Ketchi kan and Wrangell and plans to con. tinue his tour to Seward and Anchor age and will speak at those places.

 He made two appearances before the ketchikan school, where he made big hit. Speaking of his talks at the school there, the Ketchikan Chronicle said: "The value of an education and the greater value of wholesoued spirit of good citizenship featured his talk

It will mean the hus banding of rich resources which are now annually going to waste to an amount of tens of thousands of tons of the finest nutritious grasses for pasture, hay or sillage purposes. lt will mean Alaska supplying the need of Alaska for dairy products now sup piled from the. outside; for the ques- tion of market is already solved if only the industry be placed upon a basis to make shipments to nearby Alaska points worth while conner cialy. It will mean the establish ment of schools and all the adjuncts reigns supreme.
 Private Capital Unavailable
 "There are probably some who without forethought might argue that private capital should assume the re- sponsibility for this development, but that is impracticable until after the hOmesteaders in sufficient numbers have obtained patent to their lands. as until then they cannot give to pri vate capitalists the security that would be demanded; where as the government by ruling of the De partment of the Interior could be fully secured for the necessary in vestment
 ''The old saying. "A dollar saved is a dollar earned,' could be exempli fled upon large scale by the de- velopment of the dairy industry in such parts of Alaska as have been demonstrated to be suitable therefor saving the raw material now annually wasted and turning it into products much in demand by Alaskan towns, mining camps. fisheries and transpor tation agencies.
 Initial Expense Small
 "An initial expense of aDout S50.000 for the first unit would purchase 100 good grade dairy cows and a couple of thoroughbred bulls and transport them to the ground. together with the material for the needed silos and other fixtures, the building and equipment of the creamery and ii nance the management for the in augural period. And such an ar rangement could be entered into with the homesteaders that the whole amount with interest would be paid back to the government within five years. thus enabling the government to duplicate the development else where.

 YES TIE R D AY
Territorial, Federal and Muni- cipal Officials Confer on
 Law Enforcement.

A conference, Wnlcn It is said Is expected to have important bearing on the crusade against illicit liquor trade, was held yesterday in the Of fee of Gov. Scott C. Bone at which the Federal Territorial and Muni- cipal government were represented. Those present at the conferencp were Gov. Bone, U. s. Marshal Maj. George D. Beaumont, U. s. Attorney Arthur c. Shoup, Mayor R. E. Rob- ertson, and Territorial Special Off cer for the Suppression of Liquor Traffic, J. w. Wilson.
 While no statement was made re- ative to the outcome of the meeting nor plans adopted by it, such a con ference was forecast several days ago in statements made by both Gov. Rone and MT. Shoup relative to campaign to be instituted fer en- forcement of prohibition laws co-op- eratively by Federal, Territorial and Municipal authorities. Both officials declared at that time that they were determined to exercise all possible power to put an end to conditions they asserted to be a disgrace to the Territory"
 At yesterdays meeting methods of cooperation were discussed. Officials today were reticent concerning the meeting but expressed confidence that serious difficulties to be solved in connection with enforcement of the prohibition law would be met and the hope also of receiving the supt port of public sentiment generally in all sections of the district.
