Need for the right kind of adver- Using for Alaska. an urgent plea for support of the Alaska bill intro duced by Senator Harry s. New. and assurance of aggressive work on his part for the construction of a building in Juneau for a Capitol, were the main themes of a short talk made by Governor Scott c. Bone at the Commercial Association meet ing today, the first attended by him since he was notified that he had been made an honorary member of the organization. Other speakers in cluded Charles w Mason. president of the Alaska-Endicott Mining Com pany; Roy Rutherford and E. s. Hewitt
 Governor Bone declared that he prized his membership in the associa- tion and hoped to attend most of it's meetings. q do not attend as Gov ernor, but as a member of the asso. citation, a citizen of Juneau. want to give it the benefit of whatever service I may be able to render and aid in the splendid work you are do- ing. l believe in it. he said
 Advocate of Advertising
 Commenting on the remarks of F. s. Hewitt, which preceded his own talk, Governor Bone declared that he was a believer of advertising of the right kind. The Territory, he said. is now the victim of too much advertising specializing glaciers, ice and snow "If I had my way I would not let another postal card go out If Alaska showing such scenes" he declared. The kind of publicity need ed, he said. was along the lines of H. T. Tripp to The Empire recently in which the activities of the people of the Interior and other sections Of Alaska were recounted.
 Georeeson Work Great
 The work of Dr. c. C. GeOrgeson the agricultural industry, he said, had not been fully appreciated. He admitted that eight years ago when he visited the Fairbanks experiment station he doubted the value of work | being done. especially in wheat growing. Yet. he added, on his re cent visit there, he found that work a demonstrated success with ranch CTS growing wheat crops and making money on them. He has called the attention of Secretary Wallace to this work, he said
 Urges Support to New Bill 1 Governor Bone strongly endorsed the Alaska bill introduced by Sena. tor New two weeks ago. It had for its purpose coordination and con solidation of Federal authority in Al aska, he said He predicted it's nassage unless collateral issues became involved. Such issues, he ad- mitted, were raised by the transpor. tation section of the measure. If the measure, he said. contained man datory provision for establishment of government shipping line to Alaska it would probably be impos sible for it to pass Congress. The matter of such establishment. he said was discretionary. Such power, he declared, could be safely vested in Secretary Fall. who is big busi ness man and broad-minded and pro gressive. He urged the association to get behind the measure.
 Population Needed
 Upbuilding of population, declared Charles W. Mason, is Alaska's great oct need. The varied resources oi the Territory and its climate, he said. justified the belief that it could support greater populations thar Norway. Sweden or Scotland. Mis- representation of climatic conditions ~"rh@0s unintentional. he said, was a big hindrance to settlement.
 Advertisement of the Territory's resources so that it reached the right people. he said. would bring settlers and prosperity The difficulty would be encountered in getting the right advertising to the proper people. II IS necessary. he said. to get infor nation about forests to those inter ested in that resource. fishing to those who want to engage in that
