Alaska Game And Its Value
 Is Discussed
Enormous Slaughter of Deer by Wolves a Matter of. Serious Concern to the People of the North.

The value of game animals in Alaska is not indicated in the Gus toms reports from which the av- craze person draws information re- garding the value of Alaskan prod ucts, says ZHe Cabifak. Yet 1t is safe to say that the unlisted and almost unprotected creatures of the wild played a part in the discov- cry and such development as has taken place throughout the entire Interior of Alaska second to none, except the dauntless spirited men who first broke trails where others could follow. In fact, without the edible wild life in the North, hu- man habitation would have been all but impossible. Permanent set dement's never.
 The time may come when domes- tic stock will supply such large portion of our meat needs that the number of game animals existing will not affect our welfare greatly, but that time is not in sight. At present the number of game ami mals in Alaska affects each indi- vidual, directly or indirectly; for what helps one helps all, or visa versa.
 We cannot keep our cake and eat it too. But there is a certain number of game animals that may be taken, and number that should be permitted to live. The amount ot feed for each useful species is the determining factor. If each species is permitted to increase to the number determined by the amount of forage for each game will exist in maximum numbers, and the surplus available for all inhabitants ot Alaska will also be the greatest possible.
 For instance: It has been esti- mated that 200, 1000 deer skins were shipped annually from Alaska for fifteen years prior to the regula- tions preventing such shipment in 1904. It is also estimated by those conversant with the lumber of deer 20 years ago and now that there is not one deer at present where there were forty or fifty, twenty years ago. It is not likely that there were as many deer in

the early days as might have found food, if afforded some protection. But if we take the figure 200, GOO as the number that might be taken annually without killing those that should be left to breed, it seems safe to conclude that every man, woman and child in Southeastern Alaska could have eight or ten deer issued to them annually as their share of the deer and game. What is true of deer is also true of all game in all sections to greater or lesser degree.
 Alaskans have not heretofore had voice in game legislation. Con- gress. illadvised or unavised, has passed inadequate laws, bureaus or departments have issued equally inadequate regulations, never has there been an appropriation for en- forcing any game laws one-tenth as large as is necessary. If Alaska had as many game wardens in proportion to her size as the state of Washington there would be 227 game wardens here instead of 10.
 A member of the Bureau of Bi- ological Survey estimated that one gray wolf did from ST, 1000 to ST, 500 damages year in the cat tie sections of the Western states. It has been estimated that wolves in the Interior and in certain sec tions of Southeastern Alaska, de- stroy as much game as Whites and Indians use. Our game is worth, pound for pound, not less than twice as much per pound of beef and mutton in the States; yet Con- gress pays not one cent to prevent the enormous slaughter by wolves that rove in bands of scores and hundreds throug bout the Territory. Everything points to great in- crease in population during the coming few years. and soon. Ali Alaskans look forward to the time when hundreds of thousands will call Alaska home When that time comes game will need far more protection than at present. Now IS the time to prepare to receive new citizens and to protect our game as we'll.
 Fortunately, however the present administration which is taking such | keen interest in all Alaskan affairs, going slow but sure, may be ex- pected to be as thorough in looking after the welfare of Alaskans by sane conservation of game as in af- fairs which appear more important on the surface. It is the business of all Alaskans to aid in every pos sible way. May they be permitted to do so.

London, July 2.
The settlement of the coal strike was
the outstanding factor of the stock mar
ket this week. 1t not only caused an in
creased volume of business. but added
strength to the market as a whole
Shares of various industries closely con-
nected with the fuel supply improved In
most directions.
Textiles were perhaps the firmest of
the lot. closely followed naturally by
that of iron, steel and armaments. The
rise of British rails was comparatively
trifling and therefore disappointed many
who were hoping that the resumption of
work at the coal mines would bring
about an immediate rally in railroad
Lrices.
Gilt edge stocks continued the firmest
of ALL with a jump in consols the out
standing feature. In the speculative
markets. oils remained on tolerably even
keel without, however, attracting notice
able attention from buyer or seller alike,
so far as the public was concerned.
The professionals have been busy and
bear purchasing doubtless assisted tho
modest Improvement which occurred in
the leading shares, but In the oils. as in
other sections OF Capel Court, the vol
ume of business has benefited little
from the settlement of the industrial
difficulties, and it may well be won
.dered whether the Stock Exchange men
as a whole look forward to any real re-
sumption in the markets until the holi-
daV sea- son is over
From the decision of the Treasury to
discontinue the sale of yearly bills and
TO offer six month maturties at the
same rates that were previously fixed
for the twelve month variety, it Is ir-
ferred that in official quarters, at all
events, a further lowering of the money
rate is anticipated. The action OF the
Government certainly indicates that it is
unwise to offer a discount rate of 5h
per cent. for a period longer than SIX
months.
There Is a reasona BILE expectation that
the bank rate will be further reduced
in the not very distant future If only
the international situation is unclouded
by fresh complications.
The rate now in force here. while the
same as that ruling In the United States.
Is higher than the rates in several Con-
tinental centres, including Amsterdam,
Berlin and Brussels, although in pre-
war days the Bank of England's rates
almost invariably were the lowest In
Europe.

SCHENECTADY, Sept. 1s.-One mil
lion volts Of electricity, which was pro-
duced in tests for the first time in his
tory this week at the pittsfelf works
Of the General Electric Company, is the
nearest approach to lightning that man
has yet made, declares DR.. Charles P.
Steinmetz, consulting engineer Of the
company and world authority on cleo
trical transmission.
A lightning flash has 50.0Oo,O00 volts,
so this voltage produced by the engi-
neers at Pittsield is one-fftieth of the
pressure of fash of lightning. DR..
Steinmetz points out that it will soon
be possible to produce artificial Light
ming.
Zone million volts is SO far beyond
the comprehension of the ordinary lay
man that it is interesting to recall how
rapidly the development of high volt
age has progressed in this country"
said DR. Steinmetz. sit was about forty
years ago that Edison first transmitted
electricity at constant voltage He
used 110 volts. and later 220. At this
pressure electricity can be sent eco
nomically for about mile. When il
is desired to send power over longer
distances, higher voltages-that is
New-York tribune., 1921-09-19

higher electrical pressures-
necessary.
Thus, in these forty years of trans
mission voltages have been increased
until now We are actually beginning to
use 1000 volts, a pressure lust 900
times as high as that considered the
highest safe pressure only forty years
ago. Now We have che announcement
OF million volts, which the General
Electric Company has just attained.
The. fact that accepted physical laws
governing the behavior Of such high
voltage have been found to hold, opens
the possibility of new and greater
field for the commercial use of cleo
'tricity If and when the demand for such
arises.
ut must be understood that the cues
rion OF actually using 100000 volts is
more or less academic just now aud is
dependent on many factors which must
be thoroughly studied and investigated
before we might begin to build Ieo0,~
9o0-volt transmission lines.
While electricity, as these tests
show, can undoubtedly be transmitted
IN large bulk, if desired for possibly
thousands of miles. it is probable that
the millions of horsepower available at
points throughout the country would in
most eases find market and would be
consumed within few hundred miles
or the source before the present day
electrical limits Of transmission are
reached"

Ship Operators
To Ask L. S. for
Hoboken Docks
Terminal Under Federal Au-
tiaority Is Suggested as
Remedy for Extortionate
Charges for Wharfage
Relief Found Essential
Rentals Cannot Be Passed
On to Government Under
Bare Boat Charter Plan

Revelations of uncontrolled extor-
tion" in the leasing Of public piers in
the City of New York may result in the
loss Of government patronage. Op
orators Of United States Shippinp
Board vessels will recommend to Chair
man Albert d. Lasker this week that
he use. his influence with President
Harding to have the latter turn over to
the board the Hoboken piers under
Federal authority.
From six to eight docks are involved
in tho proposition. They represents
the property that was taken over from
the Hamburg-American and the North
German Lloyd lines during the war.
Subsequently they were allocated to
tho War Department to facilitate the
movement of troops and stores to and
from Europe.
Now that the work Of the army has
been curtailed, ship operators who have
been forced to pay high rentals on the
New York side Of the North River can
not understand why all those piers in
Hoboken have not been turned over 70
the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
They can accommodate at one time
from twenty to thirty two cargo car
rlers, averaging 425 feet in length.
Terminal System Suggested
1t is the plan of the petitioners to
recommend that the piers be operated
as any terminal, and that the steyedor-
ing contract be placed in the hands of
one company, competitive bids to be
taken for this part of the work. This.
they declare, would be big saving to
the government and would have a ten
dency to bring down wharfage rates
for New York docks.
Two of the main reasons why oper-
ators Of allocated ships paid the extor-
tionate charge exposed by the Never
committee were the scarcity of berths
and the fact that the government was
paying for them when they were OBJ
tanned.
Had the allocated operator heen
called upon to pay these wharf charges
out of his own pocket, ship owners de-
clare, there would have been a protest
that would have caused prompt action
at Washington to induce the City of
New York to see that the rates we're
reduced. But the operator had nothing
to lose and everything to gain by hav-
ing berth for his ships.
Reduction in Charges Vital
Chairman Lasker's announcement on
Saturday that he intended to cut the
budget for the board in 1922 SO per
cent is significant in the face of recent
disclosures. With the installation of
his bare boat charter plan, when op-
orators will be obliged to pay their own
expenses, there is bound to be great
reduction in the wharfage rates here,
ship owners say, or the business will
be diverted to other ports where facil-
tiles are equally as good in some re-
spects and the differential on transport
tation rates is no greater

Settled; u. S.
Obtains Cable
Full Agreement Reached by
Hughes and Shidehara
and Toxic Acceptance Is
Held Mere Formality
Harding Idea Is Upheld
Settlement Is Called Best
News Since Japan Agreed
to Attend Arms Farley
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-The zap
| question has been settled. Secretary
Of State Hughes and Japanese Ambas-
j, sador Shidehara have reached COM
plete agreement on this potential men
zee to the continuance of good rela-
tions between the United States and
the Island Empire, and have removed
one Of the most formidable barriers
to a happy outcome of the armament
limitation conference
Only the formal approval OF the
Japanese Foreign Ofsice is needed now
Ito make this dispute, which grew out
of the Versailles peace conference
awarding Yap to Japan as a mandate, a
matter OF history.
This approval is virtually assured,
it is pointed out, because it is known
that Ambassador Shidehars has kent
in constant touch with his home gov
ernment during the negotiations which
he and Mr.. Hughes have conducted. In
addition. the Japanese Foreign Office
has been in close touch with Secretary
Hughes through another channel. the
American Charge d'Affaires at Toxic,
Its approval of the agreement. there
fore, is regarded now as a mere form
ahty.
Terms of Settlement
While no official announcement Of
the agreement has been made, it is
understood that the terms of the settle
ment are substantially as follows:
The United States is allotted the
cable from Zap to Guam and thence to
Manila.
Permission is granted for American
operatives to reside in Yap and man
the Yap end of this cable.
There are two other important cables
from Yap, one reaching to Menado in
the Dutch East Indies and the other
to Shanghai.
This Yap problem has been a per-
picking one since the early days of the
peace conference. President Wilson
formally protested against the award
OF zap to Japan. Eventually, however,
the action was taken after it had been
passed over several times.
At that time there was virtually no
interest here in Yap and little under
standing in this country OF its tre-
mendous Importance as a world cable
center. It's strategic significance with
regard to Guam and the Philippines
was not appreciated, and indeed, when
the Senator'S opposing ratification of
the peace treaty began to DISCUSS it
practically it meant the addition of a
new word to the vocabulary of most
Americans.
Ranked as Vital Dispute
The word has become of increasing
Importance, however, until, with the
Hughes note to the Japanese govern
ment demanding this country's share
