MIR. GALEN URGES ACCEPTANCE OF
 CORDOVA'S INVITATION.

Following its custom to invite distinguished visit crs in Juneau attend it's bi-weekly luncheon the Juneau Commercial Association last Thursday had as a guest James L. Galen of Cordova, candidate for the Republican nomination for Delegate to Congress Two weeks before, while he in the city, similar invitation extended to Delegate Sutherland also a candidate for that offce but he unable to at Aend, he said, because of other engagements. MT. Galen believes very strongly that great good would follow the formation of central organization in which all the commercial organizations of the Terri tory would be represented and he reinforced the inv tation from his town to the Juneau Commercial Association to send delegates to convention that has been called to at Cordova July to form such organization
 Not only should Juneau accept the invitation and strongly represented Cordova but the other mercal organizations of the Territory should do like wise. central organization such that proposed by the Cordovans would give the business people of Alaska opportunity to keep in closer touch with each other and provide for better co-opera- tion than now have.

Quick Answers Are Expected.
(COr33cc-,:. :. Times


 Invitations are being sent out to all commercial organizations in Alaska, proposing convention at Cordova on July for the long delayed purpose or forming the Alaska Chamber of Commerce.
 Answers to the proposal, considering the unani- sentiment, should be forthcoming the fifteen different bodies meet If only six of them accept the invitation, the convention will be held.
 The too long deferred union, upon a business basis now is in sight While plans have been made, or will be made, by the Cordova Chamber, everything being left for the delegates to the con- venton, it is understood that by consent the Alaska Chamber will be organized the lines of the Limited States Chamber of Commerce, which has a Pbg membership composed of chambers of commerce throughout America. The central organization, using the referendum system by mail and telegraph, will promptly and decisively for all Alaska in business matters affecting the Territory whole. Having this Chamber, it then will be unnecessary for the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to volunteer as spokesman for Alaska through its bureau The cooperaton of all outside commercial organizations will be assured, but Alaska at last will be independ- ent and self-reliant.
 Practically limtless opportunities for constructive publicity will be available through the Alaska Cham Der of Commerce. Every issue of Nations Business will have it's Alaska feature The newspapers and magazines will make free of the wealth of North land material and the movie producers will present at last real pictures of Alaska and forever the grotesque misconceptions of bumpy- pro- ducers and playwright
 In thousand ways the Alaska Chamber can bene- fit all the Territory and serve the Nation to ad- vantage It keep in touch with the massed capital of the outside, and sent forth authoritative information concerning opportunities for original in Fvestment. It do toward development in one year. by harmonious teamwork than could be done by individual chambers in a decade.

Six out of the fourteen Republican members of the House Committee Merchant Marine and Fish cries have presented minority report on the White Alaska fisheries b,l basng their objection the trap amendment which those signing the minority report believes to be discriminatory against certain classes for benefit others The minority report admits the necessity of Legislation for the preservation of the salmon supply and favors placing full powers in the Secretary of Commerce:
 **s x to issue all manner of regulations both with reference to fishing and fish, ing apparatus, including the closing of such areas and the prohibiting of any or all ap- paratus, when necessary for the conserva- tion and production of salmon and other fish, including shell-fsh, in the waters of Alaska, to the end that the food supply of fish for the natives may be constantly adequate and also that as large supply of fish possible may continue to be available for commercial purposes
 The report continues:
 We respectfully submit however. that the prohibitions contained in the bill H. R. 10427 against the of certain fishing ap- paratus in certain is designed to bene- fit certain classes of fishermen and to n- jure other classes who have made large in- vestments of capital and much entitled to the protection of the Government any other classes. We direct attention to the fact that the prohibitions against the of certain fishing apparatus in the bill do not include trolling trawling gear purse seines. of which the latter more de- structfve and harmful, both in the amount

 The report is signed by Representatives Carl R. Chindblom of Illinois, George w. Edmonds of Penn sylyania Frederick R. Lehlbach of New Jersey Nath- D. Perlman of New York. Arthur NJ. Free of Cali fornia William H. Kirkpatrick of Pennsylvania It concludes follows:
 If the specific prohibition against the of certain fishing apparatus in certain waters contained in H.

fishing industry or otherwise, seems agreed that the protection of the salmon industry especially is of immediate and pressing inn portance, and that emergency in that re- spect practically confronts not only those in- terested in the industry but the people of Alaska, and all seem agreed that the first step in that protection is additional legisla- tion which extends the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce to cover all of the waters of Alaska within .he jurisdiction of the United States. And in this connection if the legislation is promptly passed there should be some specific authority for the making of such orders and causing them to become effective immediately upon the rem derng of the decision, if that should be deemed advisable, instead of limiting the date of effectiveness to the January first fol- lowing the date of the decision, was sug gested in the proposed bill to govern gen erally after the law becomes effective. There may be an intermittent term of emer- gency arising that would call for immediate action instead of the postponing of the eff fective date until the following year. The conditions confronting the department in volving the operation of the fishing industry for the coming year are such as to require, in my judgment, immediate legislation cloth ing the department with sufficient authority to apply appropriate regulations and means to meet the emergency for the coming fishing season.

 Washington, March IA, 1922. Hon. Carl R. Chindbom,
 House of Representatives.
 Dear MT. Congressman The receipt is acknowledged of your letter of the 11th in- stant, incosing copies of the bill (H. R. (10427), also copies of the report submitted by Mr. Rickertts on this bill in regard to proposed modification of section of the Alaska fisheries act of June 26, 1906.
 The paramount question which concerns the Department of Commerce is the restric- tion of fishing by all kinds of apparatus to such an extent as to permit sufficient escapement of salmon to the spawning grounds to maintain the runs in perpetuity. If Congress will give the Secretary of Com merce authority to regulate fishing in all the Territorial waters, such authority to include the power to fix when, where and how fish ing may be conducted, it is my belief that every possible need will be met and that the industry will be maintained indefinitely upon its highest possible plane of productivity.
 In view of the fact that all forms of fish ing gear have contributed to the everlasting in different parts of Alaska, the conditions not be met justly and effectively by any drastic prohibitive restrictions any type or types of fishing gear, but proper relief can come by giving powers to this department permitting such adequate regulatory meas ures to be enforced may be necessary to meet the varying conditions in the different streams and sections
 Yours, faithfully, c. H. HUSTON,

Abbott Farm Herd
Guernseys Winners
at Fairs of Maine

Exhibiting IL head Of their choicest
Guernsey cattle at the three leading
fairs in eastern, central and western
Maine this fall, the Abbott Farm of
Augusta won SO prizes Of which 40
We're first premiums and eight were
championship ribbons.
Arthur w. Abbott. proprietor of
the farm, takes pride in the beauty Of
the herd as we'll as it's high register
in milk production. He believes that
beauty and type can we'll be scom-
bined with milk production toward
the improvement of the Guernsey
COW.
A brief description of some Of the
individual animals that make up this
splendid herd of prize winners will
doubtless prove Of interest. Their
senior COW which won the grand
championship wherever shown
has a yearly record Of 10000 pounds
Of milk and 600 pounds Of fat to her
credit. The four-year- old matron
winning first in her class. has record
of 5000 pounds of milk and $50 pounds
OF fat, while the two-year-old COW is
also making a record. The junior
champion is from a May Rose COW
with a semi official record Of $500
pounds. And so on through the
yearlings and calf classes, their
records correctly substantiate the
claim OF combined beauty, type and
production for Abbott Farm Guern-
seys.
A new Junior herd sire has been
recently added to the breeding
establishment. This animal traces
IS times to May Rose 2, carrying 81
per cent of her blood, seven times to
King Of the May, six times to May
Rose King and two times to Ne Plus
Ultra. Guernsey breeders can well
appreciate a pedigree Of this sort.
Visitors are always cordially re-
ceived at the Abbott dairy and
Guernsey lovers will be shown the
greatest courtesy whenever they call
