WHITE HOUSE FACTORS" USE
 STAGE N0oR
By DAVID M. CHURCH

DntnruIioH'l News Service Staff
 Correspondent
 WASlINGTON, July ,. The White House tbcar'cr of the nation. al drama has its stage door"
 On a side street. back from shaded Pennsylvania avenue and within easy access of rear entrances of the state. war and navy building, is the White House stage door" Through this door enter most of the principals in the national drama.
 The stage door" is guarded. or ficcrs Dalrymple and Kelly, who are just as keen eyed as any guardian of Broadway's stage entrances, cast their glances over all who enter and are the ff~s' nc''o'0l Grcotcrs when the players" enter
 President Eigrding does most Of his work at the executive offices. Here he receives a majority of his visitors and here the cabine, meats to dls- cuss the national repertoire"
 During the Wilson administration the "stagr door" was closely guarded, but now 1t is wide open and all may enter who will. but lest they trespass too far without the proper passports there are Kelly and Dalrymple and final barrier Pat" McKenna, who knows who is who in the cast of the White house play.
 Entrance at the stage door" saves with the president from the stare of the ever present tourist clique at the main White House entrances. Slip ping down the side street they may enter the White House almost un- observed. except by those who are in the know. If the tourists ever learn about the stage door entrance to the White House the worn spots before the big gate on Pennsylvania avenue are going Q get a rest.
 | It is q safe bet in Washington to ! follow the newspapermen and the camera men if you want to see the big folks and the big fireworks. They i know. That is why the camera bat tery is always lined up ready for ac- tion at the stage door" and that is why the White House Correspond ents Association has established it's headquarters just within the stage door in the balliwick of Dalrymple and Kelly.
 There are more secret entrances to i the White House than the stage door," which are sometimes, used, | aLt these are tricks Of he trade" and perhaps they had best remain secret.

Bone, the newly appointed territorial gov Iernor, before he was willing to accept
 the post. Some measure of just what
 the tentative plan Of that policy is to
 be will be worked out in the White officials which may prove the most
 important discussion which has been undertaken on Alaska's future within the past generation. PresidentHard-
 ing invited Governor Bone, Secretary
 Fall, Senator New, chairman of the
 senate committee on territories. and
 Representative Curry, of California,
 chairman of a sicilar committee of the house, to meet to thresh out the whole question.
 Frankly the theory is to give the
 president full authority to direct the functions exercised by the several government departments now control. lin Alaskan affairs and operating to
 make the development of the country
 virtually impossible by over abundance
 of red tape. Full Co.operation from

 There is no question but that

Surveys of two of the main oil fields of Alaska will be made this summer, according to s. R. Capps, who is hc1ding the party ttat will map the Cold bay district The other district that will be surveyed will be the oil bay region on Cooks inlet, about 100 miles northeast of Cold bay. The oil hay work will be under F. II. Moffitt. The summers work, said Capps, will consist of mapping and studying the oil regions on the Alaska peninsula from Cold bay across to Lake Bech- arof. but most of the work will prob. ably be done on the Shclikof drain. age area and the Cooks inlet side at Oil bay Dr. Alfred F. Brooks, head of the Alaskan geological survey. will make trip north during the summer and will inspect the work of the two parties.

The Alaska Steamship Company was advised that the steamship Vic toria, on her first voyage to Nome of the year, had arrived at the roadstead there, completing the voyage from Seattle in eight days and ten hours, one of the best records she has ever scored in the service. The big liner found the roadstead comparatively free of ice, which permitted the immideate operations of lightage service. and her passengers and freight were put ashore at once.
 Recent protests against the activ-
 tes of fish trap pirates in the South eastern and Southwestern Alaska sal mon fishery waters have resulted in order the coast guard cutter Boutwell, to those waters.

Enormous Lock Links Lake
and River at New Orleans

Putting to work at least part Of
the great torrent of water the Mis-
sissippi pours past New Orleans ev-
cry day, giving some of those waters a
new outlet into the Gulf of Mexico,
nearly u miles of new landlocked
harbor frontage, the Inner Harbor and
Navigation canal, constructed and

the city of New Orleans, was dedicat-
ed May 2, during the annual nven-
ton of the Mississippi Valley associa-
ton.
The completion and successful oper-
alton Of this lock accomplishes a piece
of engineering which many experts
declared impossible. The compare.
lively newly made land of the Missis-
stppi delta, the numerous 'potholes"
of quicksand whcih have brought dis
aster to other heavy building attempts
alongside the Father Of Waters, and
the great pressure of % feet of wat
er in the river above the level Of the
canal, at high-water periods, comb
ined to give the engineers of the
Board of Commissioners of the Port
of New Orleans a task second to none
in the New World, save only in. the
locks of the Panama canal. The river
will not be turned into the canal until
this fall, owing to the summer high
stage OF water in the river, but the
canal itself, with the exception of the
lock, is now in use.
The Inner Harbor and Navigation
canal, which is costing $40 for every
man, woman, and child in Louisiana,
or approximately $25,0OO,OOO, connects
the Mississippi river with Lake Pont-
chartrain, running five and one-half
miles across the lower business sec
ton Of the city OF New Orleans. The
canal is 300 #. wide at the top, $50

| a,,nnh nriue for FaIl Gardens

Lafayette, La, July 1S.-The drive
for the fall gardens has been started
and several farmers interviewed on
this matter, writes F. M. Bacque'
county agent, Lafayette parish. An
interesting meeting was held with
the dairymen this week and among
other things was the keeping Of
records of milk production. Several
dairymen ordered scales through
secretary and will weigh all OF their
milk from now on. Agent arranged
for the employment Of herdsman
for one Of the diaries. Due to the
advertising OF the value Of milk the
consumption has been increased in
the town of Lafayette and no over
supply has been reported. The curb
market is growing and many farmers
are taking advantage of this opporsu-
nifty to dispose Of their surplus. vegs-
