Gotwals, engineer officer, of the Rivers and Harbors District of Alaska, returned to Juneau this afternoon on the gas boat Trygve. The two officials left Juneau early Sunday morning on the Cedar
 They arrived in Wrangell Sunday evening, examining Wrangell Mar. rows on the way down At Wran. gell they looked over the ground to ascertain the question of obtaining locally supplies and materials for the construction of the breakwater Col. Steese and CoL Gotwals at the request of the citizens of Wrangell went over the ground between the town and cannery where it is desired to have a road constructed.
 After completing utheir investiga- tion at Wrangell the two officials secured a gasboat and went back to Petersburg by the way of Dry Strait At Petersburg they secured the Tryg. ve and arrived here at 2 o'clock to- day.
 The report on Wrangell breakwater will be submitted to the Washington office in short time, Col. Steese said. It was not permissible for the local office to announce the nature of the report, he said, but it woulL be given out from Washington. The complete report on Wrangell Mar rows and Dry Strait will not be com pleted before October, as much of the data regarding water. weather and ice conditions cannot be secured before fall, he said.
 Both Col Steese and Col Got walls expect to leave for Ft William H. Seward, making the trip on the Harbor Boat Peterson which leaves Haines tonight for Juneau.

nor is there any way by which the
 employer can bring the liability tC
 an end. For instance, if an employee should become insane the employer
 would be liable for the term of sucf insanity.
 "Sec. ? provides that if an employ
 CT brings p or more employees into
 the Territory under a contract or agreement for a seasonal occupa tion. and if the employer discharges such employee on account of physi cal or mental disability and the em Gloyee becomes public charge with in thirty days succeeding the expira- tion of the contract, the employer shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
 Under this section, in order to es- cape being guilty of misdemeanor the employers is required to keep the incompetent employee on his rayrolls indefinitely.
 "(4) The reason of the bill as ex- rlained to me was mainly on account of certain employees of canneries in Bristol Bay having been dis charged for incompetence which idfterward proved to be insanity. For some time these discharged em- ployees were nuisance in the To- Cality where discharged. They were later arrested, tried, adjudged in sane and transported to the asylum at Morningside at an expense to the United States. AS far as I know there has never been any expense to the Territory on account discharged employees of corporation, although on one occasion some employees of cannery who broke their contract applied to the Territory for trans portation to San Francisco but were refused as there was no evidence that they were indigents of the Ter ritory.
 "(5) The whole bill is full of loop holes and it is doubtful if it could be enforced or even found constitu- tional, for instance: A man may be employed by company in Cali fornia and come to Alaska in per lect heaHh ana become dlseased Tn Alaska during the term of his em- ployment or within thirty days after his discharge, and, under this bill, the employer would be bound to ship him back to the state from which he came, and would thereby become a public charge upon that State by reason of something which happened in Alaska and which might not have happened had he remained at home. In all probability this alone would invalidate the bill.
 "(6) The whole subject could have been better covered in a general compensation act, or in public health law requiring physical in spection of those preparing food"

WORKING PARTIES. WILL RE PLACED. IN THE FORESTS.
Timber Cruisers and Water Power Surveyors Will Ex-
 anime Pulp Possibilities.

At least two and perhaps three Department are to be placed in this district starting on July 1, according to B. F. Heintzleman, district log ging engineer who arrived here from Ketchikan last night on the Tahn.
 Mr Heintzleman will leave again very shortly on the Tahn to lay out the work for two parties of timber cruisers and typographical surveyors whose work will consist of getting areas in shape for future pulp wood sales. In addition to these two parties it is also hoped to put an other party in the field making sur veys of power sites.
 The work of this latter party will consist of determining the capacity and approximate cost of developing the power sites in order that the ill formation may be available for pro- spective timber industries.
 Now Separate District.
 With Alaska now a separate for est district, being designated as Dis trict Number 8, MT. Heintzleman, as district logging engineer, will have charge of all the logging operations of the Territory. After July head quarters will be moved to Juneau which will be, after that tima. the tase of operations.
 Two new boats acquired by the Forestry Service from the Navy are now being repaired at Ketchikan and will be brought to Juneau when head quarters are moved They arc the Hiawatha and Wapose. The fcfmer is a palatial vessel that will be used by District Forester C. H. Flory while the latter is a smaller one that will be used for taking out working parties.
 Brings Surveyors.
 Accompanying MT. Heintzleman north from Ketchikan were F. C.. Guerin and c. H. Garfield of the Land Office, who with MT. Heintzle- man, have been visiting the various power sites in Southeastern Alaska
 
 and making surveys of them.
 More Timber Advertised
 The department, according to MT will soon start adver- Using for sale six hundred million ieet of timber in Shrimp Bay near ketchikan. The timber is being ad gertised for sale at the application of big New York paper concern.
 Summing the whole paper and pulp situation up in Alaska the Forestry official said today that the com Danies who have been evincing a lot )f interest in the possibilities of the Territory have not slacked up any n that interest and he is quite well with the outlook

CONTRACT LABOR MEASURE IS NOT
 GENUINE REMEDY
Riggs Gives Causes for Veto of Brown Contract Labor
 8 Liability Bill.

Six main causes are set forth by Gov. Thomas Riggs for his veto ol the bill introduced by Representa- tive Brown and passed by botf houses of the late legislature which had for it's purpose forcing big fish ing companies to bring better class of labor into the Territory to conduct their seasonal operations The manner in which this was in tended to be done was by making the companies liable for expenses incurred by the Territory or any one else in connection with illness or disability of the employees.
 Gov Riggs, in a statment made public this morning, points out glar- ing defects in the measure which in his judgment made it entirely un, workable. The statement follows
 House Bill No 25, An Act mak ing employers liable for medical and other aid furnished persons imported into the Territory under seasonal contracts of employment, and making it misdemeanor to discharge such employees during their term of em polment,, by reason of physical or mental disability has not been ap- proved by me.
 While the bill is designed to correct certain conditions which have arisen in the Territory and which should undoubtedly be corrected, tho Capoto Con, ,o;ttaa Cubct;t,,to for the original House bill does not carry the proper remedy My objec- tions to the bill are:
 "0 The constitutionality of the bill is extremely doubtful All the people of the United States may freely visit any portion of the same. No State or Territorial law may cur tail this right Freedom of contract is also constitutional right and this act would impose limitations upon that power of contract. The bill in substance and effect provides what Q contract shall be with reference to furnishing subsistence to a dis charged or incompetent employee.
 "(2) The bill makes it possible for number of men to enter into a con tract with a mining or fishing cor Poration in Seattle or elsewhere for employment in Alaska, knowing at the time that they did not intend to carry out the terms of the contract. They could come to Alaska and strike or force discharge and thus terminate a contract. They could procure return transportation from some person. who could in turn sue the corporation and recover trans. portation for the whole crew There are a number of other loop-holes for conspiracy to defraud the corpo. ration.
 "(3) Sec. l provides that any per son who brings laborers into the Ter. ritory under contract for seasonable occupation shall be liable for all money advanced or expenses in cured by the Territory, or anybody else, in furnishing necessary medi- cal or other aid, or in supplying re- turn transportation to any such em- ployee in the event the latter, during the term of such contract or within thirty days succeeding the termina. tion of the contract, becomes inca pacitated and a public charge.
 "1t is observed that there is no time limit fixed when the liability at tempted to be imposed will expire,
