government through bureaus Is good tor any land or any community is too untenable for sober discussion. Equally so is the thought that con- seryation in Alaska is dependent up- on such a system, or that the abroga- ton of bureaucracy would render the protection of the resources any less secure.
 The Territory since it was granted 8 limited form of self government has exercised its powers wisely. It administers its purely local affairs efficiently and economically. Its legislatures, meeting in biennial ses- sion, have made exceptionally good records during the decade since the organic act was passed and, in personnel, measured up to legis- latures of the States. All plans for the future government of Alaska, in preparation for statehood, should contemplate extension of Territorial powers and a fuller exercise of those powers.
 Conservation of the fisheries, so essential to the preservation of the great industry, is being enforced by the Department of Commerce through its Bureau of Fisheries, un. der the reserve system adopted as the only alternative in the absence of needed legislation, and the Terri tory is cooperating fully toward the desired end.

junction or separately better sys-
 ;sm of handling tourists traffic.
 The need of more adequate hotel facilities in the Territory, with ho- tcls especially. designed and equipped
 to please tourists at vantage points on the coast and in the interior, is apparent and steps are being taken to meet this need.
 The refusal or disinclination of the Canadian and White Pass Rail-
 road lines to enter into a tourist ar rangement with the American lines
 whereby visitors might make the trip over the White Pass and down
 the Yukon River to Panama and up the Panama River to Nenana, with a side trip to Fairbanks, and out over The Alaska Railroad to Seward and thence by steamer to Prince Rupert, Vancouver Seattle, deprives vis- itors of the privilege of most at-
 tractiye scenic journey. However, it IS believed that lulS anu OtueT OU- stacles to the development of tourist traffic will be overcome.
 The American and Canadian steam ship lines carried 20,0S9 passengers
 to Alaska from January 1 to August 31, 1923. Of these it is estimated that two-thirds were transients or
 tourists and the number exceeds all records. The previous year
 5.537 tourists came to Alaska.
 Transportation on the Yukon has been greatly improved between Daw- son and Holy Cross, through the sue cessful operation of two steamers in
 conjunction with The Alaska Rail- orad; but below Holy Cross to St.
 Michael and Nome facilities of travel are most inadequate. The Territory has authorized a subsidy for steamer |service between Nome and Kotzebue.
 It is believed that Alaska has
 reached the low ebb in population. An increase is now indicated and a
 larger and more stable population is to be expected.

BOY SCOUTS &S1
 tPreparsd by the National Geographic so-
 eiety, Washington. D. C)
A GLORIOUS OUTING

Tramp, tramp, tramp-dignified and quiet-tramp, tramp, tramp-sturdy and bronzed, into National Headquar. ters on July p walked 60 hardy lads, packs on their backs and the spell of the out-of-doors about them, fresh from a hike of 225 miles through the state of New York.
 To Scout Executive W. F. Abriel, boy lover and outdoor enthusiast, the credit Is due for the S50-mile trip en- joyed by these 60 honor scouts of Trenton, N. J. For months before the great trip, merit system was in prac- tice among the scouts at Trenton. Semi-weekly hikes were made of 12 and Is miles. Personal health and correct diet were stressed. The 60 boys ranking highest In physical flt- ness and efficiency in scouting were selected for the trip.
 Trenton bade them Godspeed when on July 10 they left in autos for New York City. There they took the boat for Albany where the hiking began Up to Fort Tconderoga they pushed. sleeping out of doors each night, cook Ing their meals in the open, stopping for rest periods and practice of swim ming and scoutcraft-but always with an objective point to reach each day. Scout Executive Abrtel had hiked the entire distance twice in advance of the trip, arranging every detail.
 Albany Watertown Saltwater, Schuylerville, Fort Edward. Saratoga. Schenectady, Sabbath Day Point, Fort Tconderoga-these were among the stopping points. At each place con- tingents of local scouts met the party and entertainments were carried out, the Trenton lads own fife and drum corps doing Its share.
 The historic points of the famous ground they covered were explained by the scout leaders and educational side tours, such as visits to the Gen. eral Electric plant at Schenectady, the Capitol and the Educational build ing at Albany, were features of the trip.
 Not one boy was sick. although the sun and rain vigorously challenged the scouts. Enthusiasm for perfect scout craft reigned; tents were pitched with hawless precision: tests were passed wherever opportunity presented itself to advance in scouting rank. Twenty one merit badges were won.
 Besides Scout Executive Abriel and the scouts, four adult leaders were in the party.
 In commenting on the trip, MT. Abriel said, ITO mo this is real scout ing-a combination of work and play that brings to the boys the love of the out-of-doors It's wholesomeness and joy, with the opportunity to learn to work together generously and help fully, each for all, all for each"
 This ltinerant camp was called Camp Klwanis" In honor of Trenton Kiwanians who are backing the scout movement in their city.

 obtain information in regard to the final destination of the Rhine women Auxiliary units In those communities will assist the brides in acclimating themselves to new country. Dr. Barrett believes that many of the un- pleasant experiences which naturally fall to the lot of aliens can be elimi- mated by the kindly help of Auxiliary women.
 The war brides measure up well with any other group of women. Dr. Barrett stated. They are young healthy women, none of them of the ''f1apper' type. Most of them spoke English. since their husbands. they said, would not learn to speak Ger man.
 pr. Barrett was interested in the attitude of the men toward returning to America. All that l spoke to-" she said, were happy to get back home. There was great deal of mer riment In regard to the difference between the financial standing of the soldier at home and in Germany. Al the present value of the mark, the soldiers were "millionaires." As many expressed themselves, "We all feel like millionalres who have suddenly lost our fortunes" The only ones who spoke of returning to Germany were those who left their wives and chil- dren behind and expected to return tor them, she said.

WHY HE IS A SCOUT LEADER

Herbert Mooney. assistant deputy scout commissioner, District 5, Clcve- land, O., says he is engaged in scout work because he believes 1t is the best recreation man can dnd after work
 ing hours. "A man should get out and forget business after the days work Is done" says Mir. Mooney, and hoy else c,n he spend his time to better udvantage than by mingling wi'S young boys, the men of tomorrow"

Recommendations

The needs and general conditions if Alaska were adequately and ac- urately presented in the reports for 920-21 and 1921-22 and are. there ore, not repeated at length. Recom- nendations hitherto made are earn stly renewed as follows
 The placing of affairs of Alaska under one Department head at Washington and the substitution of coordinated and centralized system of administration for the present inefficient bureaucratic system at the earliest possible date.
 An appropriation of s3OO.0O0 to supplement a fund of s150, ,000 heretofore authorized for the erection of a capitol or admins trative building to house Federal and Territorial offices and thus facilitate the transaction of busi- ness and save the rentals of scat tered quarters.
 Adequate provision for the ope- ration and upkeep of The Alaska Railroad, and for the building of branch lines and spurs as required for the development of tonnage to meet industrial needs.
 An appropriation of s1,500,0 900 annually for the building of roads and trails in the Interior and pro- vision for the construction of roads and trails into Mt. McKin- ley and Mt. Katmai parks.
 The vesting in the Department of Commerce of complete authori- ty over the fisheries of Alaska, with it's Bureau of Fisheries ade- quately equipped and empowered to make and enforce rules and regulations limiting the catch and number of traps, curtailing fishing areas and closing streams and reducing cannery waste in the public good.
 The consolidation of all law enforcing agencies in Alaska un- der the Department of Justice.
 A colonization plan to be opera tive in connection with The Alas ka Railroad. with priority rights to lands freely granted to Alaska soldiers of the World War and their dependents.
 Allotment of fair percentage, at least one-half, of the net reve- nues derived from the Pribilof Is- lands, which are in Alaskan wa ters, to the general fund of the Territory.

Material Progress

Materially the fiscal year 1922-23 showed appreciable improvement in business and industry, and an almost complete recovery from adverse con- ditions immediately following the World War. Mining activities in creased in many parts of the Ter ritory, notably in the Hyder district, at the head of Portland Canal; in the Willow Creek District, contigu- ous to the Alaska Railroad, and in the Nome District, in the far north, where dredging operations were re- newed on an extensive scale, SUD- ported by ample capital. Through out Southeastern Alaska, on the is- lands and mainland, mining enter prises received a stimulus and were put upon basiis of more successful operation. No. notable strikes or discoveries were recorded. During the fiscal year the mineral output showed gratifying gain, as re- vealed by the detailed statistics fol- lowing. Dredging work and placer mining were handicapped somewhat the latter part of the year by lack of water incident to an unusually clear and dry summer throughout the Territory.
 Gains in commerce, exports and imports. were most gratifying and, indicative of prosperity. Postal re- ceipts in towns along the coast were the largest since 1917. All commu- mites on the lines of travel, water and rail. shared measureably in the benefits of the influx of tourists which was the largest in Alaskan history. A successful fishing season :. in most districts, contributed largely to the sum total of prosperity.
 Although pulp and paper enter prises, which have been impending for several years. have not yet even- tuated, headway was made toward the establishment of at least one such important project and it is be- lieved the coming year will witness a realization of dreams in this respect.
 Tourist Travel
 The season of 1923, in bringing thousands of visitors to Alaska, em- phasizes decidedly that a systematic development of tourist facilities of fers great immediate opportunities for Alaska. The two American steam ship companies and the Canadian line, with eleven passenger-carrying vessels running on schedule from Seattle and Vancouver, five of them making regular trips across the Gulf of Alaska to Seward, and two other large vessels making the voyage by Outside Passage to Nome. were taxed to the very limit of their capacity. and over three thousand applicants for reservations could not be accom- modated. The coming season prom ises likewise to be limited only by the facilities provided .s..
 Under the existing transportation situation, tourists must make a CO., tinuous round trip through the In- side Passage or to the Westward and return. or risk long delays in secur- ing passage outward-bound. Thus but fleeting glimpses of the beauties of Alaska are permitted the many visitors who would otherwise tarry, if they could.
 One new and modern American steamship was added to the regular service during the year and at least another will be in the service the coming year. It is probable that two more large Canadian vessels will also further relieve the situation in southeastern Alaska Meanwhile the transportation companies and tour f.k
