U. S. Army and Its Work
H-Regular Army's Most Important Work Is Train
ing of Civilian Forces.

quota. This means that the Regular
Army will be spread out in a thin
layer over the United States from the
first of June until the first Of October,
as there will be camps in every State,
except Mississippi, Tennessee and Ne
vada.
March Great Distances.
Many organizations have marched
great distances to reach the organiZa-
tions they are to train. For example
a battalion of Infantry marched more
than 260 miles from Fort Smelling.
Mimi, to Des Moines, Iowa. Engineer
companies have been sent from Fort
Humphreys, in Virginia, on the Poto-
mac, to Camp Knox. in Kentucky,
and to Camp Custer, in Michigan.
Anti-aircraft detachments have been
sent from the Preside of San Fran
cisco, on the Pacific coast, and from
Fort Monroe, on the Atlantic coast
to Fort Sill, Okla. which Is sit.
uated almost in the center of our
country. These instances are cited
merely to illustrate both the magni-
tude of the Regular Army's Summer
training job, and the Regular Army's
attempt to perform it's civilian train
ing mission satisfactorily to all con-
Cerned.
Much more of the Regular Armys
time is devoted to the National Guard
Organized Reserves, Reserve Officers
Training Corps and the citizens mill
tary training camps than even this
would indicate. Training programs
and schedules for courses of instruc-
ton have to be prepared during other
than the Summer months of the year
More nearly one-half than one-third
OF the War Departments time is de.
voted to other activities and interests
than those pertaining to the Regular
Army alone.
Loss of Time Is Handicap.
AS matter of fact, so much effort
has been put forth by some organiza.
tions that their own efficiency has
suffered temporarily. The loss of the
TOUR Summer months Is a serious hand.
lcap, to the Regular Army. This means
that its units in the United States
must accomplish in eight months more
than II was necessary to lear in twelve
months before the World War. The
Fan, Winter and Spring are unfayor-
able for extensive outdoor training.
or course, the Regular Army has
been handicapped in other ways. The
barracks In which many of the regi-
ments are stationed are a wartime
construction and are falling to pieces
Much time has to be given to fatigue
duty In keeping up repairs, instead of
drll. No doubt in time money will be
appropriated for sufficient and more

tions In strength for the past four or

Seattle Looks for
 Big Season for
 Salmon Packers

Outlook for a bumper salmon pack from Alaska this summer is unusually promising, according to inquiries made by the Alaska de- partpent of the Seattle Chamber of Congress, according to the off cial publication of the Chamber. Large purchases of supplies. con sisting mostly of fishing gear, tin ware and foodstuffs, have been made in connection with the out fitting of the salmon fleet, which is now being overhauled and re- conditioned in various Seattle ship yards,
 Preparatory crews have already gone North to carry on the initial work of the season, but the bulk of the fleet will not go until June first when the real packing will begin. Approximately 10000 men, the department estimates, have re- gently left to spend the salmon sea- son in Alaska.
 The steamship companies, sens ing an unusually big season, have discarded the old sailing vessels previously used to bring the salm- on down for large steamers, which are capable of carrying larger cargos besides making three or four trips a year in place of only one heretofore made by the sailing vessels.
 The herring fleet is also prepar- ing for a record pack. The last two seasons have been rather small, so this summer is the logical time for heavy haul of herring, according to the Alaska depart ment Machinery and mill sup plies are being purchased in large shipments from Seattle by Alaska mill owners in anticipation of a big spruce cut.

THE OLD TELEGRAPH LINE
Da wson News)

Following it's program of econ omy, the government has closed to traffic-temporari at least that stretch of the telegraph line between Hazelton and Telegraph Creek. The radio stations estab- lished here, Mayo, Fort Simpson and Edmonton may serve the Yu- kon with equal efficiency, for. al- though the radio is not free from climatic interference, it is not at- fected by the material conditions of snowstorms, fires or gales, so destructive to the land service equipment and which have caused dislocation of the Dominion Tele- praph Services line to the outside for as long as ten days at a time compelling the routing of messages by the Alaska radio and cable sys- tens.
 No doubt business people and newspaper publishers here have felt at times that they had just quarrel solidly buttressed against the telegraph service But when one comes to think of it, how great a service the same old sourdough line has been and is to all Yukon CTS! It followed close on the heels of the early stampeders and it brought civilization with it to the heart of the wilds. It was an eye and an ear in the bleak outpost And to many a musher on the lone trail it was guide and lifeguard And, too, think of the momentou dots and flashes it flashed over the barren miles. Its most tremendou-
 ne5sage came in 1914. But who 'yill doubt that the message which aank with it's leaden weight deep cst into the hearts of Yukoners was the flash on that fateful Octo- Der day in 1918 telling Dawson that the Princess Sophia had gone down with all on board!
 If the land line remains closed south of Telegraph Creek, interior connections will be maintained with Dawson, Whitehorse and At lin. Yukon will still have it's pio- neer telegraph line.

Will Be Added to Darlington Fleet To Help Take Care of the
 Increased Traffic
Beginning With the Opening of Navi- gation There Will Be Boat Leav- ing Wrangell to Go Up Stikine
 Every Forty-eight Hours

but in an emergency special bunks can be set up and 100 or more passengers carried. In addition tc the passengers the boat will carry 40 tons of freight.
 Telegraph Creek, which is at the head of navigation on the Stikine is 162 miles northeast of Wrangell The new boat will make the voy- age in quite a little less than 24 hours. This quick time is all the more appreciated when one con- siders that the Stikine is swift stream with numerous rifles, and from the mouth of the river to Telegraph Creek is constant climb.
 The superb new boat will be op- erated in conjunction with two other boats that have given won derfully satisfactory service on the Stikine during the past few years. A barge will also be operated with the fleet.
 During the early part of the sea- son all of the boats will be busy transporting gold seekers into the Cassiar. Later in the season tour- ists and big game hunters will comprise a goodly portion of the passenger lists.

STIKINE RIVER WILL BE
 CLEARED BY CANADA
Victoria Times)

The sum of s3,0O0 has been in- cluded in the Federal estimates to be expended in clearing snags and other dangers to navigation from the Stikine- River, according to word received from Ottawa yester- day by MT. J. P. Forde, Depart ment of Public Works engineer, and instructions to commence the work are expected to arrive imme- diately. Mr. Forde has been secur- ing data on requirements, and has been conferring with Mr. Charles H. French, of the Hudson's Bay Company. who has been spending several days in the Capital for the purpose of securing Government action respecting the Stikine.
 Mir French has pointed out that the only practical route for the transportation of supplies to the new gold fields east of Dease Lake, Cassiar district, was via the Sti- kline, and that unless the river channels were properly cleared great dangers would be presented

REGARDING EXTENSIONS OF
 TIME FOR PROSPECTORS

E. c. Finney, First Assistant Secretary of the Department of the Interior, has written the fol- lowing letter to Delegate Dan Sutherland:
 Referring to your visit with reference Ito extension of time on prospecting permits in Alaska, have to advise you that, appreciat- ing the physical and other difficult ties incident to development in AL aska, climatic conditions, etc., the Department will follow the policy, in cases where good faith is mani fest and good and sufficient reason given, of granting extensions of time within the life of the permit Of one year at time, rather than granting extensions of six months, as heretofore. It is of course un- derstood that where good faith is not present or where insufficient showing is made that the foregoing will not apply"

SPEAKING OF CLEANUPS
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

It might not be amiss, in speak ing of cleanups, to suggest that a concerted effort be made by the police and others to remove from the city some of the idle gentry whose chief occupation is that of petty thievery in the form of earnings of others.
 In the old days of Alaska there was wide-open gambling and gen. erally speaking the gamblers of those days had a code of honor which they observed. They vic timized the public in rather gentle way, giving it at least a semblance of a show for their money. Today it is not so. The tinhorn gamblers infest many places and the sucker who sits in with them has no chance in the world. He is not only running ups against crooked cards but the manager of these games is not even satisfied with this, but he must take in addition his rake off"
 It would be better to wipe out every card game in town, even for cigars, than to permit these tinhorns to continue, their prey ing upon a certain class of indi- viduals who are unable to resist the instinct of sitting in"
 Wipe out the tinhorn gambling and automatically the town is rid of a few at least who then will have to go to work, and not being of that disposition they will move on to other fields.

Town s Property To Be Assessed
 Dy an Expert

Major A. A. Oles, a tax expert, will arrive on the Admiral Rogers Saturday for the purpose of as- sessing the property within the corporate limits of the Town of Wrangell.
 At the March meeting of the Town Council the matter of hav- ing the property within the Town of Wrangell assessed by an ex- pert was considered. The Coun- cil were of the opinion that if an expert were employed he would be able to prepare an assessment roll that would be more uniform than any of the numerous ap- praisals that have been made in the past. Accordingly the clerk was instructed to. get in touch with a competent appraiser.
 A letter was written to John E. Price & Co. of Seattle, and this firm rendered valuable assistance in locating the right man. Ad- vice was sought from Samuel H. Chase, a member of the State of Washington Tax Commission and also county assessor of King county. MT. Chase recommended several parties whom he thought competent to handle the Wrangell situation.
 The man who seemed best quail flied for the job was Major A. A. Oles, an industrial engineer, who for the past five years has been in charge of the Industrial and Taxation Department of the &c., attle Chamber of Commerce.
 When MT. Christy Thomas, the executive secretary of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, learned hat the Wrangell Town Council desired the services of Major Oles 4e was good enough to offer to loan him to the Town of Wran- sell long enough to make an ap- praisal survey of the Towns tax able property, the Town paying the expenses of his trip.
 The foregoing information was received at the last meeting of the old council which decided to take no action, but pass all cor respondence on the subject over to the new council. The first act of the new council was to in struct the clerk to cable for Ma jor Oles to come to Wrangell at once.

The Hazel B No. 2, the finest equipped river motor boat in the world of the twin screw tunnel type, was launched in Wrangell Tuesday night.
 The new boat is an addition to the fleet of river boats on the Sti- kline, owned and operated by Capt. Sid Harrington, one of the best known river navigators in the north.
 The building plans for the new boat were drawn by L. H. Coolidge, naval architect, who ~in designing the boat made use not only of his own practical and technical knowl- edge, but also of the knowledge gained by Captain Harrington from many years experience in navigat- ing northern waters.
 The new boat is 90 feet in length with a 25-foot beam, powered with two go hp. Eastern Standard gas engines of the latest type. The en- zines have a 61a inch bore, 8 inch stroke, developing 90 h. p. each at 600 revolutions per minute. The propellers are of the Coolidge type 29x31 and may be raised or lower ed to meet the changed conditions encountered at various places along the river.
 The boat has 22 staterooms ex- elusive of quarters for the crew. The dining room will accommodate "A persons at sitting. The social hall is attractive and of adequate size.
 The equipment of the boat in cludes a Kohler electric light plant of no voltage which makes it pos sible for the boat to be brilliantly lighted throughout. A powerful seGrchlight of 200 candle power makes it possible to travel by night IS safely as by day.
 The Hazel B No is the seventh boat that has been built under the direction of Captain Burlington. Only the best grade of cedar and spruce were used in the construc- tion of the house. The hull of the boat is built of fir. One of the chief aims in the construction of the new boat was lightness. The boards used for the walls of the staterooms are only five-six- teenths of an inch in thickness, but the bracing is so we'll distribu-, ted as to give all needed strength.
 Another most desirable quality possessed by the new boat is that of springiness. It is so constructed that it's bottom will bend up and down with the stream to a slight extent, thereby giving tremend- ous advantage over boats possess ing greater rigidity. And yet the boat is built in such way that the springing of the hull does not cause the house to become rickety, the quality of elasticity being maintained throughout in its con- struction.
 The boat will accommodate 50 passengers in the greatest comfort.
