OPEN FUR SEASON
CAUSES LACK OF
BEAVERS IN ORE.

BEND, Ore, Aug. 6.-Fear that
open season on beavers last winter
resulted in a terrible toll of the
animal has been expressed by hunt
ers here.
Even in the city limits the ami
mails have been comparatively num-
erous in the past. After sunset
they are often seen playing in the
water and on lawns bordering the
Deschites river.
This season, however, fishermen
have noted the absence of beaver
dams and cuttings, and blame the
open fur season for the disappear
ance of the animals.

F. W. Greer as publicity man.
Judge Thompson stated the ex-ser-
vice men are vitality interested in
the proposed legislation for Boulder
Canyon dam and wish to lend every
assistance in getting Congress to
give it favorable recognition. He
told the board that any halt in the
work to pass the Swing ohnson bill
at this time, would be detrimental to
the people Of tie valley. He be-
heved that if the district attorney
and the members Of 'the grand jury
could be shown that bills for the
support Of a delegation at Washing
ton are legal, they would not stand in
the way Of allowing lien TO be paid.
Rose Getting S1Go
In reply to a question by Joe Hal
lowell Of the Legion delegation, ask
ing if the statement made at the
conference in the district attorney 3
office, to the effect that Director
Mark Rose Is being paid $500 a
month salary willie at Washington,
president Aten made vigorous denial
and asserted tnat Rose is only being
paid his regular salary of $3.50 a
month, to which ne is entitled as a
director, plus his expenses. On the
occasion of a former trip TO Wash
rngton, as q member of a delega-
tion, Aten stated Rose was not paid
a salary of $40 day, as were other
members Of the delegation.
President Aten stated that he at
times questioned whether it was
legal for the district to support such
delegations at Washington, and
though his conscience sometimes told
him such expenditures are not legal,
the district attorney has maintained
that they are and he has con-
sented to authorize them. He re-
peated an offer he had made earlier
in the day to the other directors,
Imperial Valley press., 1924-01-03

following word from the district at,
torney to discontinue payment of
warrants for lobbying work, that
he would sign note with them,
pledging payment Of the delegation
it had been decided to send.
He stated that a personal wire he
had received from Rose asked that
the delegation be sent to assist him
without delay, ana a~v:sed that their
presence in Washington is essential
to the success of the Swing-Johnson
bill.
Surprised at Delay
Director Brockman stated he was
surprised that the delegation CON
sisting of Rev. Hartman and Mr..
Buck had not already left for Wash
ington. He would agree to advance
money to the delegation for ex-
penses, but did not think any salary
should be advanced.
Director Pound told the Legion
and Farm Bureau delegation that
the time may come when the dis
trict VIII be unable to support a
delegation at Washington, and that
the organizations they represented,
should be ready TO take up the bur
den at that time, and give the dele
CATION full financial support
President Atcn was opposed to
any increase III tho delegation at
this time, due to the financial srtu-
alton in the district, and in view of
the order from the district attorney,
not to honor any more warrants for
Lobbying delegations. He was in
favor of Mes5rs. Hartman and Buck
going to Washington, but believed
no attempt should be made to in
crease the delegation at this time.

Lee assured the directors that the
people Of Imperial Valley are not
going to allow anything to stand in
the way Of ratification by Congress
of the Swing-Johnson bill, particul-
arly at this time, when the bill is
about to be presented to Congress.
He intimated that tho present at.
tempt to prevent support of dele
gatIon at Washington Is inspired by
opponents Of the Swing-Johnson bill,
who wish to see it defeated, and
told the directors that if they were
prevented from having a delegation
at Warrington, the delegation re-
presenting the people of the valley
would see that the necessary funds
to support a delegation were OBJ
tanned. He declared that heretofore
the people Of the valley have been

that is going on to defeat the bill

FAyORS DIVISION TERRITORY

MT. E. J. Sommers, of Juneau, who is in Seward today on his way south is an ardent advocate of Territorial division. Mr. Sommers points out that a division of Alaska would be helpful to the entire Territory, as the First division has no interests in common with the other three divisions, which he affirms would be better off with the First division separate.
 And the Gateway believes that MT. Sommers is right. Many benefits would accrue to the coastal towns north of the division line. Over one hun dred Federal appointments would be made for the new Territory, many coast guard vessels would be station ed here, the various bureaus would have headquarters in the Northern district, and a general healthful ad- yancement would be promoted in both sections.
 The main opponents to division are to be found in the Second and Fourth divisions, some opposing it for serti- mental reasons, others for economic reasons Both reasons could be over come by explaining the many advan- tages accruing to both North ard South Alaska.

Anchorage citizens are evidently very much peeved over the action of the Alaska Steamship Company in re- fusihg 10 send company vessels to the Cook Inlet port th;4 coming season. At recent meeting of the dock com mittec of the Chamber of Commerce, Agent L. D. Roach of the Alaska $. s. Company was refused admis sion to the hall by the committed
 The Pacific Steamship Corpany. whose steamers will call at the inland port twice a month, was represented by Brice Howard and General Agent J. H. Kline.
 The ill-advised action of the com mittee occurred when a meeting was called to discuss leasing the railroad dock, and J. B. Gottstein, chairman of the meeting said the reason the Alas ka Steamship Company's representa- tive wasn't allowed to attend, was be- cause the members would not be free to speak plainly in view of the dock controversy, if Agent Roach were in attendance.
 A letter was received from John A. Bunch, traffic manager for the Alas ka line, stating that his company had been discriminated against, and giving tho 4Gs sons for tho rafrco1 +o coll at Anchorage with the big passenger boats. Mir. Bunch said that on numef- ous occasions the company's steamers had listed to dangerous angle at low tide, and that if the larger vessels were forced to go out with the tide. unloadin@ only at high water, sched- ule could not be maintained.
 MT: Bunch called attention to the placing of the Redondo on the run from Seward to Anchorage, connect ing with the steamers here each Sat- urday He also declared that it was up to the citizens of Anchorage to pat ronize the railway. if they expected it to be a success, or to benefit Anchor age.
 The Admiral Line representatives assured the committee the company's boats would call at Anchorage each trip, carrying passengers and freight.
