Already I have sufficient ore to transport which will practically take up my tonnage for the year. have mining machinery to transport, as several operators intend resum- ing work on different creeks during the coming season.
 Among those going to the Kusko- kwim, aboard the Alameda, are two engineers for eastern corporations, going inside to investigate and then return and make their reports. 9th CTS aboard are steamboat men and mining men, I look for a big season and may be forced to secure several light draft boats to take care of the business offered. There is much talk in the States about Alaska and all mining districts as we'll as all dis tricts are receiving much attention from capitalists.
 Several steamers will operate di- rect from Seattle this season, mak- ing connections with up river boats on the Kuskokwim and the greatest activity is promised for this year In fact, I never came north before with such belief that all of Alaska is going to receive more attention from men of all classes this year than for the past four years" ; Capt. Langley has partner this year in lis operations on the Kus- kokwim, he being Capt. George Green. The two men intend to pur- chase the Gadfly, from the Kusko- kwim Trading Co.,, and F. H.

MAY FIRST IS OPENING DATE
 JUNEAU MILL
Manager Returns from South To Start Repair Work
 For the Season.

Although the lumber market has been exceedingly quiet during the win ter the industry now seems to be showing some life and many mills are opening up and putting lot of men to work said Roy Ruther- ford, president and manager of the Juneau Lumber Mills, today upon his arrival from Seattle.
 We will start immediately upon the repair work necessary to put our plant here in shape for the sea son with the idea of starting up aout May l." he continued, "and al though we have not as many orders to start on as we would wish. ow- ing to the curtailment of the can nery business, we will. we hope, have enough business to keep us going through the season."
 MT. Rutherford said that reports that lumber is exceedingly cheap in the states are only partly true, re ferring only to. odds and ends of stock on hand. Prices for lumber sawed to order still remain high, he said, with no indication of an i'm mediate drop.
 The Juneau Lumber Company is one of the local industries that are depended upon for steady payroll in the city. A large crew of men is employed by the company in it's op. erations at it's plant here and big cuts of lumber are made each year. The company has several booms of logs on hand for immediate cutting that have wintered on the Channel Bar.

BONUS MEMORIAL
 BEING OPP0SED;. MAY BE AMENDED.
Some House Members Believe Terms Too Broad-Will
 Be Carried to Floor.

That the memorial introduced in
 the lower House by Representative
 George A. Getchell for a land bonus for Alaskans who entered any branch of the military or naval service of the United States during the war with Germany, and which is support ed by the American Legion posts throughout Alaska, is causing much study and some worry to members of the House and especially to mem bers of the Committee on Judiciary and Federal Relations is freely ad- mitted by many of the Legislators. It is also stated that there will be 6 strong effort, either in committee or on the floor of the House, made to amend the original or to substi ute another before final passage.
 Allege Two Defects
 As introduced the memorial seeks authority to give in fee simple 160 acres of agriculture land the regu- lation homestead acreage, to every person enlisting or inducted into ser vice without regard to the duration of service, giving the man with the land as the one with the longest period of service. While this clause has the endorsement of the legion. naires over the Territory and De- partment officials, some objection to- it has been raised among House ta graduated scale of land bonus ac- cording to the length of service of the beneficiaries. A second, and what is considered to be a more serious objection, is said to be found in the wording of the memorial which makes no requirement that the beneficiaries be either required to live on the land and make such Improvements as would be necessary to secure patent under Government regulations or that in case of sale, such sale to be made to bona fide settlers. Members of the Legislature estimate that some S00,000 acres of land is involved in the project and that under the lack of definite re- quirements as noted above. it would be easily feasible for financial in terests or some land corporation to gobble up vast tract of highly de sirable land
 Cochran Leading Opposition Representative Cochran, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee which has the memorial in charge, is re- ported to be leading the members who are objecting to it's present form and who will make a strong effort to amend it. Representative Getch- 1 ell. and others interested, are con- fident of their ability to pass it un- amended.
 Commander J. P. Walker, of the | Department of Alaska, American Le- | zion. who aided in the preparation of the memorial, and other legion | naires, have indicated that no oppo- sition would be offered if the House | considers it of vital importance to | fix a graduated scale of land grants ! but they are at a loss to understand l why there should be any objection |
