OTHERS AND NOT FORESTRY BUREAU
TO BLAME.

In the various articles attacking him
which have been given out the Secretary has
been represented demanding that jurisdc-
ton Alaska forests be turned to
him His reply to that charge is to refer to
his testimony before the committees of Con-
gresS on the various Alaska bills, in recent
months.
Il there suggested" he said that If Con-
gress did not desire to coordinate activities
and place them under the jurisdiction of the
Interior Department directly under the
jurisdiction of the President then the
tiyties of the Interior Department in the
matter of homes, town sites, mines, roads
and all other lines should be transferred to
the agricultural other department"
Secretary Fall regards it as more essen
. tial that agencies having to do with the
government of Alaska should be consolidated
and coordinated than that they should be
put in any one particular department. The
present arrangement is destructive, wasteful
and uninteigent.
In its work in Alaska the Department of
the Interior has contact at thirteen different
points of administration with agencies of the
government outside of it's own jurisdiction.
while 1t has been able to secure cooperation
of all of those outside of the Department of
Agriculture it has not been able to work,
save at cross purposes with that department.
The Secretary called to mind today the
matter or the proposed road to open up the
new Kantishna mining district Mount Nc
kinley and other districts. That road is
deemed essential to permit the growth of the
mining industry and to furnish traffic for
the new railroad. The Alaska Road Commits
sion in the War Department and the Terri
torial Road Board of Alaska have been
brought in close cooperation for this project
by the Department of the Interior. Neither,
however, has sufficient funds The Bureau
OF Public Roads in the Department of Agri-
culture has $1,000, 900 allotted to 1t to build
national forest roads in Alaska. 1t refuses
to help the project in any way; moreover,

Experts have figured that per cent. of the area
of Alaska is reserved and that cent is in private
ownership leaving 93 per cent in unappropriat ed
public domain. They have figured that Alaskas share
of the $75 100000 appropriated under the Federal
Highway Act would be s4,164078 and that, in order
to get this amount, under the terms of the law as
given here, Alaska would have had to contribute, if
the law had been applied to Alaska in all its provisions
to Government roads, aside from those reserves,
about a per cent. of this amount $145,722. SO.
This would have allowed plenty of money for the
Mount Mckinley National Park road and for many
others, without touching the s1,o2O,493 that the
vigilant Forestry Bureau secured for the National
Forests in this Territory. Had all of Alaskas friends
been on the job last November Alaska should have
received therefore, $51S4,571 instead of the $1020,
493 that she did receive account of the fact that
the Forestry Bureau the job.

Without the Postal Service, business
would languish in a day, and be at 9

human beings dependent on Its min

How many people ever put their
name and address inside a package
when sending it by parcel post? This
is one of the cardinal rules of proper
mailing but reports from the dead lett
er offices show that a negligible per-
centage of all undelivered parcels con-
tains the name or address of the send
er 1t frequently happens that through
improper wrapping the outside address
and return address are torn aud cannot
be located. The department then has
no alternative but to send the packahe
to dead letter mail center.
Every package should contain slip
on which appears the name and address
of the sender and the name and add
rsss of the person to whom the pack
age is addressed. No other writing is
permissible unless first class postage
is paid. This precaution by persons
