United States railroad will be found in the i've and ten-ton tractor. thinks Colonel J. c. Gotwals, of the Alaska Road Commission, who besides mushing dogs all over the hard plac- es in Interior Alaska to ascertain winter conditions, is also making a study of the question of transporta- ton after roads are built.
 Tn the Interior with the light snowfall and continued cold winter weather" says Colonel Gotwals, "the five and ten-tOn tractor of the army type would be of great use, especial ly where the freight haul is large. Assuming that the fiye-tOn army trac- tor with five fOur-ton trailers is used the entire cost would be about SlO,- 900. The train would be capable of transporting twenty tons at not less than three miles and perhaps at as high a speed as six miles per hour. This, in addition to the fact that the tractor standing idle consumes no gasoline or oil. as the horse consum- es hay and grain.
 There are places where such shipments are needed, and a real economy over horse or dog freight ing is possible. The use of the trac- tors over Broad Pass by the A. E. C. is Illuminating in Illustrating the possibility of the tractor. Indeed, the hauling of only twenty tons at certain places in Alaska would make a saving in one trip almost equal to the cost of the outfit"

Asks That New
 Cable Be Laid
Senate Memorial Presented Address,
 ed to War and Navy Departments.

Juneau, April 7.-Request that new cable be laid between Seattle and Alaska points was contained in Senate Joint Memorial No. 8 intro- duced this forenoon by Senator Frawley. The memorial addressed to the Secretary of War, Secretary of the Navy, Congress of the United States. and the Delegate from Alas ka.
 The memorial cites that the pres ent cable was laid l6 years ago and now requires much repair, often be- ing out of commission for weeks and months at a time. AS much depends upon the telegraphic service for the growth of Alaska, and as the present cable is giving only about 50 per cent of the needed efficiency, it is urged that a cable be laid which will be sufficient to provide for the present and future.
 Senate Bill No. 42 was introduced by Senator Collins, By request, amending Section s, Chapter 37, of the 1913 Session Laws, regulating the practice of Pharmacy in Alaska. This amendment provides that the Board of Pharmacy make annual re- ports of receipts and expenditures to the Territory, turn over all money received, provided the Territory makes an appropriation for the Board. This bill was referred to the education committee.
 House Concurrent Resolution No, 6. passed the House, was presented to the Senate and passed unanimous lv. This resolution extends an invi- tation to Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall to visit the Territory of Alaska.
 Amendments reported to S. B. Nos. I4 and Is were adopted, as pro- posed by the House.
 Chamberlain Says Where At
 Senate Joint Memorial No. 4, rela- tive to leasing of 300 odd islands along the coast of Alaska, came in for some discussion on the second reading. Objections were made to the wording, for instance the lack of the customary and your memorial ists do pray" Senator Chamberlain said that as he introduced the reso- lution. he could speak with authority on il.
 q feel that we do not need to get down on our knees, and wear out our trousers, beseeching Congress to give us what is rightfully ours. There should be no pleadings in our me morials and I have eliminated them. Memorials adopted previously by the Territorial Legislature have gained little if nothing. It Is time that we, as Alaskans, should get up and ask outright for the rights that are ours. What is the use of begging and im- ploring, why not demand?"
 After considerable discussion, the motion that it be up for final pas sage was withdrawn by Senator Chamberlain and referred back to the Judiciary committee for inser- ton of the usual phrase.
