There is much merit in what the Seattle Alaskan Dispatch says about the Alaskan Engineering Commission The suggestion of the Seattle publi- cation is in line with the argument already advanced by The Nenana News. that the Alaska railroad is not a development project as originali!' intended, for the reason that the men who are building it are out Of tune with their work
 As :he Dispatch points out. there Is too much dcipline and red tape with an utter lack of interest in the upbuildins of the territory through which the railroad Is being built.

PAENS TO ALASKA
(Frnm Valdez Miner)

In the flood of departmental reports inEton. the universal suggestion of the dcIrirtment heads whose activities touch Alaska is the means of develop ing the latent territory of the North land be outlined.
 The secretary of the interior. the secretary of commerce, the secretary of agriculture-all of them sing paens to the vastness of the possibilities in
 .lasll;t and their chorus is that capital is needed for development. The po- tential greatness of the territory is in- deed well known. People are learning that it is not an iceboS, and are gain ing some conception of it's bulk. of its agricultural possibilities as well as it's The various department chiefs are meeting with some success in bring ing these. facts to the attention of Americans generally.
 But those who know Alaska. who know it's problems and it's needs find little comfort in statistics dealing with it's boundless potential wealth They realize, too, that capital is needed for development purposes. They know that although the territory has an area sufficient 70 accommodate from 15.000.- 900. to 10000 900 people the white pop ulatio today is less than 3o oOo0-just about the same as the city of Beliing- ham. And they do not have to be told tha: there is | reason for this lamentable situation or that the pri- mary reason is that Alaska has been held in the shaciles of a bureaucracy so long that its development has come about large in spite of and no: be- cause of the activities of Washington bureaucract whose policies have been restrictive rather than generously en- couraging.
 What Alaska wants is an opportun- ity. It is the Cinderella of .he nation. and the magic wand of constructive kindness would convert it into a popu- lous wonderland In a word, it wants not promises, but performance.

Every boy of Bonners Ferry and
vicinity who wishes to become a Row
Scout should attend meeting to be
held tonight at the high school GYM
nasium when the Bonner-Boundarv
Boy Scout Executive, A. Dayton. will
organize four troops.
Mr. Dayton finished the prelimiparv rv
organization work last week leaving
thursday for Standpoint to continue
scout work there He talked m the
Doys OF the Bonners Ferry schools
Thursday afternoon and signed mn
enough Scouts for two troops from the
grade school and one troop from the
hlgh school. The response to the invi-
tation to join the Boy Scouts was
greater than he anticipated as he had
only planned for the organization of
tnree troops in this county at this
time. Owing to lack of time he was
not able to visit the Northside school
last week but will do so this weat
IL is expected that large troop will
be organized from Northside bovs
Not over 80 boys can be included in
troop and generally the troop is or
ganized with only 16 members.
A troop committee for the nronosad
fourth Boy Scout troop was named

SAfS GAME Is DISAPPEARING
Leaving Logged-off Lands Denuded Is
Menace To Wild Life

Game is rapidly disappearing as q
result OF logging is a claim in a peti
tlon presented by Lincoln county resi-
i dents 10 the Montana legislature last
winter, praying for the establishment
/ OF a game preserve on Wolf creek and
f1sher river, according to a statement
issued to the Herald by Forest Super-
visor }. A. Fitzwater of the Pend
dOrellle National Forest reserve. In
the petition it was stated that lum-
Derlng had encroached upon the for
ests IN that region to such an extent
that the game was rapidly disappear
ing ana that game preserve in this
virgin country wherein game would
nave complete protection was an abso-
lute necessity to perpetuate the sun
ply and stock the adjacent areas. II
seems to be the opinion Of most "old
umers' that logging operations are A
menace to wild life.
Glen A. Smith, assistant district
forester of the United States Forest
Service says:
MY observations in Montana. COW
ering a period of some 20 years, leads
me to believe that the method cf slash
burning and leaving the logged areas
IN denuded condition which is fol-
lowed by a majority of lumber operat-
ors' is a real menace to wild life. 7
am Ilrmly convinced, and can cite con
Vlnclng examples that if Il method of
logging and brush disposal that would
leave the young growth in a condition
10 insure future forest, were adont-
ed' wild life would be benefited in that
through logging operations the dense
cover would be opened up allowing
the suns warm rays, and the dew ana
ram 10 penetrate to Mother Earth =
Dountlful supply of vegetation wouId
result. Anyone who has traversed n
logged-over area that has not been do
nuded by fire will recall the added
supply OF timothy, red top. clover. viii
lows, raspberries, Strawberries. Ore
son grapes, service berries, all If
Whlch add to the natural food of wild
NE and with shelter in the form of
reproduction there is little doubt hut
what wild life will thrive and mul-
tiply.
ut seems to me that if this he truo
and | am convinced that it it. II is
another strong reason for a camnairn
against the denuding of the nations
lorested areas by present methods OF
slash burning and destructive logging
Sportsmen should be interested in our
campaign for a national forest policy .
Ihese observations are in direct ac-
cord with those recorded in the Lake
states where logging occurred 40 and
90 years ago. See George Shira's third
artcle in the National Geogra nhtc
Magazine for August, 1921.
