General Manager Knckerbocker of the Alaska Steampshp Company in an interview recently given a representative of The Empire confirms previous re ports to the effect that the tourist travel to Alaska next season will be materially larger than it was in 1922 He bases his prediction inquiries to ac- commodations which already beginning to reach the transportation companies in considerable numbers The fact that prospective travellers making in quiries so early in the year is good indication of the increasing interest being manifested in Alaska land for summer journeys.
 Experienced men in the tourist business, who have made the Alaskan trip have been almost unit in declaring that the is without peer among all the tours in the world. They have told Alaskan business that of much revenue being overlooked in the failure to stimulate tourist travel the North, emphasizing the necessity for reaching tho individual prospective tourist before he books his reservations if it is expected to divert him from steamer trip to longer trip including stcpovers points of scenic other interests Alaska whole, gets but little benefit from the round trippers. It is the tourist who stays within the gates of the for time. who takes time make the sdetrips not available the large steamers that make tho tourist business profitable
 With increase of hundreds and possibly thou sands predicted for this years tourists, effort should bo made to attract many possible to visit Juneau and make it the center from which sight seeing, fishing hunting expeditions be taken small amount of money, judiciousy expended the proper time, should bring in returns of the original investment If such effort is to be rsade it should start now. few weeks will find many tourists have already made their reser- vations.

Prohibition Agents and Patronage.
fNew York Evening Post !

William Dudley Foukc goes entirely too far when lie charges that the AntiSaloon League bought the Nolstead bill with Congressional patronage" This statement gives the impression that Congress was indifferent or opposed to the Volstead measure hut passed 1t for the sake of the jobs it created Mir foulke can hardly mean to say this He mgh3 as well allege that the income tax law was bought with Congressional patronage. In both cases Congress was severely to blame fer refusing to pace inc new offices under the merit system On this point MT. Fouke is absolutely right No small part of the difficulty that has been encountered in en forcing prohibition has been due to the ncompetence or tbe Dishonesty of some of the enforcement officers
 Better officials would have been obtained undcr properly administered civil service but this is by no means the whole trouble In view of the extraor. dnary temptations which besct prohibition enforce ment officer even the merit system could not have been relied upon to supply officers the necessar, quality. Enforcement of a law which is SD bitterl, fought as the Volstead law requires d superior tynf el enforcement official The salaries of these men are 100 low, but raisng their pay would not solve tbf problem What is needed is set of officials who LOOK upon their task as patriotic duty and orpor tunity Such men will be immune to all temntafio, and will bring to their work an unwearyinp ner s!stence which will be than a match for iha most determined boctegger.

CHOPS
BY BERTHA T.. SHAPLE1GH Of Columbia University

Probably most housekeepcrs, asked to name the meats preferred by thel families, would include chops---lamb b veal or pork.
 There are many ways of cooking them besides plain broiled.
 Tha casserole, or covered baking dish, which may be sent to the table is a great help.
 For instance, pork chops, Drowned in frying pan, then placed on bed of. sliced apples, seasoned and al lowed to cook 25 minutes or longer are delicious.
 Stuffed chops are a change from the usual method Of cooking. The stuffing may b" bread, nicely sea- soned, butter and parsley. The chop is cut extra thick and split to the bone, and the stuffing is placed be- tween the layers, and the whole cooked in a frying pan until well drowned. Place in casserole and pour over them a gravy made in the ran in which the chops were fried. Or the chops may be cooked in the gravy in the pan.
 Lamb chops are good served on thin slices of broiled ham. 4 puree of onions is a good accompaniment for veal chops. Frief apples are the finishing touch for pork chops.
