Before the establishment of the
office of Surveyor-General the Clerk

rict Court in the entire Territory oi
Alaska In 1897 the office of Surve
or-General was created and he was
made ex-officio Secretary of the Ter
ritory and the Secretary of the Ter
ritory was made Governor

Senator Frank b. Willis of Ohio,
chairman of the Senate Committee
on Territories, requesting that he take
the matter up with the President
and Secretary of the Interior and
ascertain whether or not the matte
might be corrected by executive or

UNERRINC EFFICIENCY

FINGER PRINT. SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Finger
print indentification has been de-
veloped by the army to the point of
efficiency where its application at

who has served in the regular arm !
can be located in from 10 to 30

finds him among the more than
100000 men who have been in the
army since 1906, when the finger
print system was introduced. He
may have been one of the 50,32>
Smiths, the 40101 Johnsons, the 2S.
902 Browns, or one of the 1888 nam

his finger print to turn up his ro-
cord.
Walter S. Kaye, in charge of the
bureau, says the indexing has been
worked out so efficiently that even
new clerk. one never before having
had knowledge of the system can
begin work as a searcher with LILLE
preliminary instruction.
The science of finger print read
ing is based on the study of the
curious, circling network of all
invisible lines on the ball of the
thumb and each finger. Examinat

that the normal formation is the
whorl, or the scroll which winds
these lines from the outer edge oi

TREES FOR FARMS

recently returned to Ottawa from the seasons trip
the tree planting says:
"In than 700 miles Of travel this year,
have yet to encounter single farmer who has mi
grated from Well-treed farm. The secret of stab
lized population the paries is closely identified
with tree planting even IN excessively dry districts
where migration severe. The farmer with shelf
er belts of trees managed to make better living and
certainly had no thought Of quitting'
As result Of this work it reported 80,000,-
0CO trees have been planted by $4,000 farmers. The
early belief that trees could not be grown the
praires has been dssipated by the splendid results
already obtained Protecting the soil, conserving the
water supply. Shecrng the homes from winter blasts,
beginning the development of future fuel and lumber
supply, and adding beauty and loveness to the prairie
homestead, the tree planting work goes forward.
There's lesson here for local farm communities that
still cut out their woods without reforestng.
