advanced by MT. Rogers is his proposal for the formation of a "local Cabinet,' consisting of Assistant Secretaries of four Departments of the Government, having final and supreme
 authority, and with headquarters in Alaska It is plan that has promising possibilities
 promising, that is if properly devised. De signed to center Departmental authority on
 the spot obviating the delays and red tape
 incident to appeals to Washington it has it's obvious advantages. That, on the other hand lit has it's dangers, is equally true Providing four moro powerful and influential offices to be filled by appointment every four years, il will undoubtedly appeal to proponents of the pork barrel. Whence those appointees are to be chosen, with what fitness for their exacting tasks they will come into office, and, no sooner having faniliarized themselves with condi- tions, be superseded by new and strange ap- pointees, are all questions pertinent to the subject. If there were some provision by which Assistant Secretaries of the various De partments of the Government could be "re tained, as are the members of the Consular and Diplomatic services, in Government posts for which they have become qualified, the Rogers plan would have obvious virtues. But under the present system of political appointments 1t IS difficult to see what advantages WOuld accrue to the Territory through it, beset as it would be with indubitable evils
 There is little doubt that for some time to come the Territory of Alaska must depend upon the strong arm of the Government, with as much local self government as can practlc- ably be applied. system that reduces to minimum the conflicts and delays inseparable from bureaucratic administration is the best that can be hoped for, Such system could easily be effected in the event that the Terri tory were divided, Alaska proper being ad ministered by the Department of the Interior. Under a Territorial Governor, preferab y an Alaskan, Government experts and local off cials familiar with conditions could give to the Territory as nearly an efficient and local administration as is possible, with the added advantage of expert supervision.
 The important thing is to remove the ad- ministration of Alaska from political control by powers five thousand miles away, literally and figurativcly, from all it's interests Would such an end be effected by Mr. Rogers Secrc tarial Cabinet? Under present conditions, one doubts it.

Regarding her tour last summer in Canada and the United States, Miss Leitch declared it was purely of a private nature. She was particulrly impressed with womens golf in the Dominion. Of the outstanding play CTS in Canada, Miss Ada Mackenzie and Miss Pepler were probably the greatest.
 Miss Alex Stirling was undoubted- ly the greatest exponent of women s golf in the United States, in spite of the fact that she, curtailed her play during 1922. She was the finest "shot maker" over there. She had more shots almost than any other player. Miss Leitch considers that the major ity of women's golf courses in the United States and Canada are easier than those in England There is no undulation there as in England, and virtually no wind. The courses, how ever, are very much better kept than in this country.

THE BANK STATEMENTS

Significant and interesting facts are dis closed in the statements issued this week by the two Cordova banks in response to the last call of the Comptroller of the Currency. With combined deposits of $904, ,870.O9 and resources of $1 ,959, ,8O218, the First Bank of Cordova and the Bank of Alaska show assets of gratl- flying proportions. These figures are marked increase over those for the same period last year. and are an index of improvement in business conditions that presages well for the coming wear. The increase is largely due to the more permanent establishments of in dustries that has been the case this past year. The continued operation of mines, cannerics and the development of oil wells winch nave been prolonged into the winter season, the establishment of fur ranches and the extension of fox farming, have all contributed to the general enlivening of business, as reflected in the bank balances Another element has been the fact that fewer citizens have gone Outside this year for the winter-an encourag- ing sign of the discovery that the usual so- ionrn in the south is an expensive luxury fraught with no special advantages. Ondoubt- edly, too, people are more thrifty than 1orhler- lv. The educational campaigns of wartime are bearing friut in the savings on lvlng eX- penses practced with the return to normal conditions and in the purchase of SaVngs Certificates and bonds. These bought through local banks, have served to retain at home money that formerly was sent Outside. Alto gether, markedly healthy and most stable condition in business and m the deVeopmehC of local resources is evidenced in the status of the two banking institutions, condition that augurs we'll for the future of the town and of the Territory.

NEWCASTLE CONSULATE CLOSED

The State Department has ordered the sale of the lease of the American Consulate at Newcastle, England. A few months ago the consulate was closed because the British Gov eilmcnt objected to the activity of the consul and his assistant in obtaining cargoes for A,arrica nvessels. A thorough investigation by the State Department disclosed no ground for the protest, but there has been no move to assign new American representatives to the post The order to sell the lease indicates that ttc consulate is to be closed permanently. British trade circles at Newcastle are said to he much concerned over the matter, but they have only their own government to blame for the situation.

THE ROGERS REMEDY

The publication of Sherman Rogers artl- c1es in the Outlook has been awaited with interest by most Aaskans Coming into the Territory last summer as specal correspon dent of @ magazine whose publishing person. mel has been closely identified with Conser~ vation policies, Mr. Rogers, like many another Outside diacnostician of Alaskan ills, arrived on the scene with preconcelved ideas as to the malady afflicting the patient and the remedies to be prescribed He went away m the fall with every indication of change of mind. though in evident perplexity as to how far he would be permitted to go Tn hls dag nosis. His articles in the Outlook have, there fore. touched but lightly on the evils of Con- servation as applied to Alaska The greatest stress has been laid upon the obvious neces- sitv for roads, This being the one condition on which the doctors have in no wise cause to disagree Mr. Rogers ihas made the most of it, though he cannot be credited with great originality in the discovery:It IS one on winch Alaskans and the Road Commission and agents of the Department of the Interior have held forth long and loudly. Mr. Rogers declara- tion. "Waive everything else, but give Alaska roads-lots of roads-and it will come into it's own.'' is the refrain that Alaskans them selves have been harping on for the past twenty years That as a development meas ure it has been given voice in a quarter where it may be assured of no opposition by Con- servationists, is perhaps the most heartenlns fact connected with it.

In Near Future.
PLENTY OF POWER
Waters Of Guadalupe Will
Turn Wheels Of Impor-
tant New Industry.

New Braunfels, Tex, Feb. 1O.-With
the erection here of a thoroughly mod
|ern cotton mill for the manufacture
|ot ginghams, New Braunfels finds IL
self sponsoring new industry which
bids fair to become a giant in the fu-
lure industrial life of Texas. Working
|on the mill is going on in earnest. Al
|ready the water supply for the plant
has been assured with the completion
fof modern dam at strategic point
keross the Guadalupe river.
The new mill is being erected by the
Planters and Merchants Mills, organ
zed by Maj. S. NJ. Ransopher OF Kan
Jas City, just after the close of the
|World War. The general offices Of the
mill will be in San Antonio.
The manufacturing spirit in New
|3raunfels is by no means new. In
act, it has the record of being the
First town in the state of Texas to
have cotton mill. The development

! ! i'm his objective became the erection
of chain of mills throughout the
state.
New Braunfels was selected as the
location of the first mill. due to the ex-
cellent water power, the fine quality Of
labor obtainable, and abundance of raw
cotton and transportation facilities.
Marketing opportunities, it is said, are
good.
Water power from the Guadalupe
river will be converted into electricity
with which the mill will be operated.
United States geological reports declare
that the plant will never suffer for
water, no matter how dry the seasons.
Has $50 Looms.
Engineers estimate the cost of the
dam for the conversation of water at

chinery and turbines ut $4,000, max
ing the total of $64 200 for power.
Modern machinery consisting Of $50

hams up to sc inches wide will be in

building. machinery and warehouses
will cost about 100000.
The Franklin process of dyeing will
be used by the mill II is stated. Uni
form and fast colors are assured, the
manufacturers say.
The ginghams will be made from No.

stripes and checks of all colors. A
market for the product will be easily
found in the East, it is declared
The engineering work on the mill is
being done by Lockwood, Green & Co,

Braunfels again made its appearance
in 1886, just after the close of the
Civil War. This organization bore the
name of the New Braunfels Wooden
Mills and erected n three-stroy build
ing on the site formerly occupied by a
distillery and sash factory owned by
Doctor Rooster, on the bank of the
Comal river.
was bought by Giesecke brothers, who
operated the mill, it is said, with great
success until they were finally forced
to close down by reason of large guam
tity of cheaper and inferior wooden
goods being thrown on the market by
northern mills under the guse of cassi-
meres of New Braunfcls manufacture.
The trade mark Of the local plant was
not patented. After the closing of the
New Braunfcls Wooden Mills in the
SOS, the plant remained idle until 1900
when it was bought by F. Popp and
converted into a steam laundry. The
costly cotton machinery was junked.
New Company Organized.
Then came the third war, ut the
close Of which there returned TO the
United States, Maj. S. NJ. Ransopher,
His health having been impaired he
left his home in Kansas City and came
to Texas. He was convinced that the
natural resources of New Braunfcls
from a manufacturing standpoint, ID
cation together with its abundance Of
raw material, made it ideal for an in
dustry of this kind.
After several visits East h, organized
the Planters and Merchants Mills for
the manufacture of giaghams. He es-
Iablfshed general offi,:s IA San An
tonic and obtained options on water
power and building sitcs. His plans
received favorable comments from all
sides, and with this spirit supporting
