NEW CONTROL
 OVER RIVERS
 AND HARBORS

JUNEAU, Feb. 28.-An order just issued by the war department creates a separate rivers and harbors district for Alaska and names Col James G. Steese as district engineer with Capt. IC. s. Ward as district disbursing of ficer, according to telegraphic ad- vices received by Capt Ward at Ju- neau. Juneau will be headquarters for the new district, theA order becom- ing effective on April 1, next.
 "The creation of an Alaska rivers and harbors district means that all the improvements on rivers and har- bors in the territory will be handled by officials in the territory who are on the ground all the time and not referred to the Seattle district as has been the case for the past ii or 12 years" said Capt. Ward. Tt means also that any question pertaining to navigation in Alaska waters, includ- ing navigable~ inland waters, will be iu the jurisdiction of the Alaska dis trict and hearings on such matters will be held in Alaska For instance, the question as to whether or not fish traps furnish a menace to navi- gation, which has beeu considered in the past in hearings in Seattle, should 1t arise in the future would be handled by the district engineer in charge of the Alaska district" said Capt. Ward.
 Capt. Ward said as far as he knew there is at this time but three rivers and harbors projects in Alas ka. The Nome harbor and break water project is an active one which is included in current estimates; the Apoon mouth of the Yukon river is inactive but carries certain esti- mates annually for maintenance; the third one, Wrangell narrows, is in the isceptive stage. A survey has been made there by Col Schulz, Seattle district engineer who has submitted la report containing recommendations which are unknown here. Any fu- ture work resulting from that repirt will be in charge of Col Steese
 Alaska at one time and up until 1909 was separate district, but in that year was attached to the Seattle district where it has re- mained until the present. On April 1, it again becomes district and will be in the Northern Pacific division under the jurisdiction of Col. James B. Cavanaugh."
 The appointment of Col. Steese as district engineer and Capt Ward as distbursing officer for the district does not alter their present status on the Alaska road commission. Col. Steese will remain as president and Capt. Ward disbursing officer for the commission.

ARRANGING DETAILS
 OF BIC TIMBER PERMIT

Scott Calhoun of Seattle, attorney for eastern investors connected with the Gastineau pulp and paper pro- ject at Juneau, has the papers in his Officein connection with a two bill lion feet permit to cut pulp timber in the Tongass forest reserve on Ad- miraIty island
 There has been some controversy between the forestry department and the eastern pulp investors over the terms of the contract. AS soon as these differences can be ironed out the forestry department will adver- tise the timber for ninety days, and it is expected the Gastineau com pany will make a satisfactory bid Attorney Calhoun stated he had been informed some weeks ago by both Col. Jackling and B. L. Thane that the financial end of the pulp and paper operations had been arranged and he understood the company is to move part of the Gastineau mine equipment to other properties, if necessary, but he was not entirely clear that the Gastineau company would close mining operations unless it was forced to do so by reason of a demand for power to be used in more profitable pulp and paper in- dustry.
