AUTOS-NOT HORSES
Landers Not to Use Animals Again in Place of Motive Delivery Service, It is Said.

Unofficial rumors to the effect that the Landers, Frary & Clark manu- featuring company were to supplant horses and trucks in place of their present automobiles for delivery serv- ice, were branded as ridiculous by heads of the company today. The factory does use some horses for cer- tain work but to have them replace the automobile delivery would be i'm possible. The plant has trucks run ming to all parts of the state with special orders and the question of having this work done by horses is not being considered. Indeed not" said Colonel Johnston, when ques- toned on the matter. This factory is progressing with the times, not re- turning to old times when horses and feed were most necessary"

REPORTS CONDITIONS FAIR AT KETCHIKAN;
 OUTLOOK, IMPROVING

Conditions at Ketchikan are fair and business as good as could be expected at the present time, accord ing to J. R. Heckman, prominent business man of that town, who ar rived here yesterday for few days visit to Juneau. MT. Heckman ar. rived on tho Spokane and will return oI, the Ali neda.
 The budding activities at Ketchi- kan, he said, during the past summer have been factor in keeping busi- ness on the move there. COnsid erable money was spent on new buildings, improvements to industries, street work and for other purposes which gave employment to "a consid- erable number of men. The eircula- tion of these funds was stimulant to the entire town.
 MT. Heckman said that the outlook for the fishing industry for next sea son is considerably brighter than that at this time last year. It is expected. he said, that much larger number of plants will operate next year Some of the plants, however may find it impossible to secure the funds necessary to reopen opera tions and the total in operation will hardly be so large as in the last few seasons just prior to the one just closed.

 The Veterans Bureau is an amalga- nation of the War Risk Bureau, the Vocational Training Bureau and that part of the Bureau of Public Health Service that pertains to veterans Of the late war.
 Captain Udeli said today that he would look over the field here and very likely go to Western Alaska and would then appoint representa- tive of the Bureau to have charge Of all the Alaskan work to have head quarters perhaps at Juneau.
 "The Veterans Bureau, organized under the Sweet bill, is just begin ming to function right. A million dollars day is being spent by the Bureau for the relief of veterans of the Great War disabled in the serv- ice of their country. In California alone there are 5000 tubercular pa tients being attended to by the Blu reau," Captain Udell said today. 'The vocational training features of the work is receiving a lot of atten- tion and the work is growing so that special schools and hospitals con trolled entirely by the Bureau must soon be built
 Veterans of the Great War who have become disabled on account of their service during the war are entitled to certain benefits and treat ment and it is to look over the Alas kan field with the idea of seeing that those entitled to it get it, is the ob ject of Captain Udells trip to the North at this time.
 Captain Udell was captain in the U. S Marine Corps who was retired in 1906. He came back into active service in war times and has beer at it ever since His headquarters are at Washington, D. c.

ALASKA FOREST RETURNS GIVEN
 FOR THIS YEAR
Alaska's Share of National Forest Receipts Given
 as $20,658.S9.

Alaska's share this year Tn the na- tional forest receipts amount to S20,- 65S S9 according to information from the District Forester's office here This amount represents 35 per cent of the total receipts from the two Alaskan national forests for the tls- cal year ended June 30, 1921, District Forester c. H Flory pointed the fact not generally known that the two Alaskan national forests for the past 10 years have returned in receipts an amount much in excess Of the cost of handling them, and that 50 per cent of all money received from the sale of timber, lease of land, etc. is yearly turned blck to the Territory to be expended for roads and schools within Alaska. At no cost whatever to the Territory, Al aska has received from 1906 to 1921, as her share of the national forest receipts a total of $243132.66 for roads and school purposes. ...5
 In all, 27 states and Alaska have received checks totaling $619,993 from the United States treasury as their share of the receipts from the national forests for the fiscal year ending June 30. An additional $247.997 of the receipts has become available for road and trail construc- tion by the Forest Service within the national forests of these same states, making grand total O. $867 7,990
 The amounts are considerably smaller than for the previous fiscal year. when the total was $1 ,65".08 This is due largely to the conces- sion made by Congress to stockmen, whereby they are allowed until De cember 1 to pay their grazing fees due last spring. This action was made necessary by the widespread depression in the livestock business A small portion of the reduction is due also to a falling off in timber sale receipts of the forests due to business conditions.
 Only states or territories within which national forests exist share in the receipts. By act of Congress, 25 per cent of the funds derived from timber sales, grazing fees, spSciai uses, etc., are returned to the states for roads and schools. The amount thus received it's redistributed to counties in lieu of taxes. based on the area of national forest land within their boundaries. In addition, 10 per cent of the forest receipts are spent within the counties or. districts by the Forest Service on road, and trail construction and maintenance This 35 per cent comes back to the counties for local development. and. forest officers point out. as the pulp resources of the Alaskan national forests are more fully developed, he amount that the Territory will re- ceive will increase from year to year.
