Maintain Juneau Offices

While no arrangements for the future were discussed by Colonel Steese he said that the Juneau offices Of the Alaska Road Com mission would be continued in Jun eau and that he would spend as much time in Juneau in the future as had been done in the past.
 The Road Commissions work this season while not definitely outlined, will be considerably enlarged. The Federal appropriation, combined with the Alaska Fund and co-opera- tive funds provided by the Terri tory, if this arrangement Is contin- ued, will make available approxi- mately $9O0,O0O for maintenance and construction of roads and trails by the Commission. ....

WEEKS ALASKA VISIT

While visits Of Federal officials do not occasion much interest in Alaska, the trip nevt summer Of Secretary of War John W. Weeks and members of the Appropriation Subcommittee on Military affairs of both House and Senate wall command wide attention in the Northland be- lieves the Seattle Times. The visi- tors will inspect just one military reservation. Fort William H.

 The Secretary and the lawmakers who will compose his party have jurisdiction over matters that re quire the largest share of the Con gressional funds allotted to Alaska. On the opinion Of the visitors will depend the extent of Alaska's de- velopment. By withholding money required for extension and main tenance of means of transportation, the officials would retard the Ter- itory's progress. Aside from fisher ies, Alaska's grea7est wealth is in the Interior. And most Of t is se- cure from disturbance because of the excessive cost of transportation. " |.
 To make the treasures of the North accessible the government has constructed many roads and trails built a railway that when supplied with feeders will serve an area of more than 10000 square miles and has arranged for the operation of steamboats on the Tanana and Low CT Yukon Rivers. The investment is heavy. Yet it is net commensurate with the vast riches that Alaska has yielded the nation.

Curry, who is chairman of the committee on Territories, was invaluable, said Colonel Steese. Other items allowed included an appropriation of $780, 900 for the next fiscal year for the Alaska cable and authorization for incurring obligations for an addi- tional s750,00O on the same pro ject; approximately s2,000,00O for the Alaska Railroad, covering Sl,- 000,000 for operations and a like a. mount for construction.

of the Census Bureau showing the
number of marriages and divorces in
tha. state for 1922 and 1916
In 1922, according to these fig

performed in New Jersey: while in
1916, the last previous year in which
such a census was taken, there were
31,169 couples united In other

At the same time, the number of
divorces granted in the state rose
from 1,169 in 1916 to 2,0S2 in 1922,
making the ratio of divorces to
