Territorial GOUernOr
 Reads Biennial Report
 70 ALdskd Legislators

JUNEAU, March 10.-(Special to the Daily Times) Governor Riggs, in his message to the territorial legisla- ture, delivered yesterday, pleads fox the cessation of political and factionaI fights unity of effort in the enactment of helpful legislation for the territory, that representatives of the states having power of the territory may see that the people of Alaska may safely be entrusted with increased powers of government helpfully."
 The mining industry in the terri tory is beginning to revive, the gov- eraor said, and oil land activity Is increasing through leases. The pulp industry Is reality now in Alaska, and prospects for increased activity in that channel of production is
 bright.
 The fisheries are becoming deplet- ed, according to the governor, and only 50 per cent of the 1918 salmon pack is expected this year, with a pos sibe increase of 1922.
 Lumber production decreased the past year and generally speaking, tue prospects for 1921 are that the value of lumber products will be below that of the past four years.
 The estimated revenue this year to
 be derived under existing laws will be $42O,150 less than last year. No great amount of new legislation is needed, the governor said, but sug- gested 'very small tax" on all prod ucts other than gold, and a graduated tax on gold ores
 The governor favors a general prop erty tax on real and personal prop erty, but recommends a reduction in the ta on meal oil manufactured from herring.
 "The greatest care must be exer-
 cised to avoid onerous taxes from any individual or industry" he said.
 The governor recommended a sim- pie budget system; consolidation o& 1 various boards and commissions un- der one general board; repeal of the primary law and the enaction of a general election law; suspension at least temporarily of the eagle bounty
 law; passage of bills for the valida- tion by the fish and game commAs- sion of all shipments of game rr0#a the territory.

SEES ACTIVE YEAR
IN LUMBER TRADE
A. R. Kriechbaum Bases Pre-
diCtion on News From Con-
struCtiOn Sources.

Indica tions from construction sources
point to an extraordinarily active
year in the lumber industry during
the coming season. according to A. r.
Kriechbaum, vice president of a ma
tiunal lumber trade journal. who was
in Washington this week from New
York.
Ever since the middle of october, he
said. there has been steady i'm
proyement in the market throughout
the country and particularly in the
Atlantic Seaboard territory, ana. as
Il general rule wholesale lumber
prices have either held firm or ad-
vanccd.
Cites Principal Increase.
The principal increases, he pointed
out. have been in hardwoods. while
southern pine, spruce and Douglas mr.
the principal construction woods. have
held very firm. A few items, such as
yellow pine flooring. finish and froof-
ing advanced in price considerably up
to December l and since then they
have been holding an even Keel.
The seasonal slackening IN puylns
by the retail yards has had virtually
no effect upon the market and prooa-
bly, will not have, and as soon as the
inventory period is over. buying WIN
be resumed early in the New Year. IN
the opinion of Mr.. Kriechbaum From
then on, he declared, buying VIII IN
crease steadily throughout the re-
mainder of 1922 and it will Keep
the southern and western saWmllls
busy supplying the tremendous de-
mand which will develop by mid
summer.
Sees Upward Trend of Prices.
This activity, he believes. is bound
to result in d general upward trend
of prices. Lumber today is as cheap
as it will be- at least, for the next
twelve months.
Stocks at the producing points are
low and broken and the retail yards,
throughout the country have a very
scant supply of lumber on hand, not
enough to meet even the early spring
demand that will be created by the
nationwide building activity.
