THE ALASKA LEGISLATURE OF NINETEEN AND
 TWENTY-FIVE
HOUSE BILL NO. 9.


 N. o. Hardy of Juneau, and had for it's purpose the repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry Act and the ex- tension of the National Prohibition Act as the local prohibition law of. the Territory, permitting trials to be had in the commissioners court. MT. Hardy argued that the present situation is very confusing. and the passage of his bill would assist the officers to prosecute the bootleggers. II. l.. Faulkner, at torney of Juneau, who defends many bootleggers appeared in sup port of the bill and said that the present situation was not fair to the bootlegger, for the reason that when he was arrested he would not know whether he was to be tried under the Alaska Bone Dry Act or under the Volstead act. Con corning the power of the Legisla- ture to pass such a bill MT. Faulk-
 
 although he was not positive. Dr. w. A. Borland of Juneau, also appeared for the bill and said it should be passed for the reason that one time when Prohibition Director Arthur Means was very sick Dr, Borland got a special per Ind ioL abled the Doctor to procure some brandy. This he poured down the Prohibition Directors throat and he was revived at once.
 Emery Valentine got somewhat off the subject and said that pro- hibition was a failure anyway, and proved it by telling the Legs- lature that he had been in. practi- cally all the finest homes of Juneau and in every such home there were large quantities of liquor, and the same was served on the table.
 When Commander Hardy of the booze forces called Dr. DeVighne to speak his little piece the good Doctor, sensing that his army was having hard time, had beaten a discreet retreat. The final argu- ment was made by Hon. Joseph T. Murray of McCarty, and was merely summary of what others had said. Although he stated that he was willing to say that he had downed much liquor in his time as any man In tho room. This,
The Alaska fisherman., 1925-12-15
of course, was conceded.

leggers bill Attorney General Rust gard made perhaps the best speech, and showed that the supporters of the bill were really working in the interests of the law violators.
 District Attorney Arthur Shoup also gave his influence to the prohibition forces. William l.. Paul called attention to the astonish- ing statement of MT. Faulkner who said that when he was in New York City he attended a banquet of lawyers and he observed every table was supplied with liquor. MT. Paul took the occasion to tell of the Convention of the Alaska Native Brotherhood where there were over GOO Indians gathered for eight days, during which time not a single drop of liquor was in evidence. One person, q Porto Rican, got drunk and was promptly arrested by the Indians and fined. MT. Paul suggested that MT. Faulkner's friends, the 600 lawyers, were able to real and write and would qualify as excellent voters, accord ing to MT. Faulkner's appeal for literacy test, and yet on his own confession were violators of the law.
 MT. Jenson of Nome closed the debate by reading a letter from the w., c. T. 1T. which Mrs. Harrais had sent to each of the Legis- lators.
 The Speaker then put the ques- tion, which can be interpreted as follows: Shall the booze bill pass? Yeas, G. Grier, Hardy, Moody, Murray. Sheldon, Wilcox; hayes, 1O- Elliott, Ferguson, Grant, Jen~ son, Nylen, Paul, Ross, Sherman. Sundquist, Watson.

 Was introduced by Mr. Nylen of Nome, and was for the purpose of repeating the act placing a bounty on eagles. The main argu ment advanced by Mr. Nylen was this: The Territory had spent over $14,OOO.OO for eagle bounties and yet there seemed to be just as many eagles in Alaska as ever, and therefore it was hOpeless to

STATE HAS
FEWER FARMS
THAN IN 1920
Decrease in Number of Farms
in United States in Five
Years Is 1874

The state Of North Dakota has
l,'21 fewer farms this year than in
1920. the United States commerce
departmcnts Genus. made public to-
day, reveals. North Dakota was one
of - states to show fewer farms
this year than five years ago. the
report states.
a farm, for census purposes, is
all the land which is directly farm.
ed by one person, either by his own
labor alone or with the assistance Of
members OF his household or hired
employees. When Il landowner has
one or more tenants, renters. crop
rers. or managers, the land operated
by each is considered Il farm"
North Dakota in 1920 had 1880
farms according to the government
farm census, while this year the
state shows only 1860 farms. The
decrease is % per cent. Missouri
is the only other state in the west
north central division to show Il de-
crease.
Inc report for the entire United
States shows a total decrease in the
number Of farms Of 1874, or IL
per cent. This" the report says,
lis the result Of considerable de-
creases in some sections Of the coun-
try, partly Offset by increases in 9TH
er sections. Among the reasons Civ
en- for decrease in the number of
farms were the following: The
ravagcs of the boil weevil in some
of the cotton States; the migration
of Negro farm workers; succession
of dry seasons in parts of the North
west; the consolidation of farms;
and Il general recession from the
wartime expansion in agriculture,
which still persisted in 1920. In
creases have resulted from the open
ing up of new lands in parts of the
West; from the subdivision Of ranch
es and large farms for more inten-
sive operation; and from the devel-
opment of orchards, truck, and poul-
try farms. The establishment of
small truck and poultry farms, es-
pecially near the cities, accounts for
most Of the increase shown for New
England and some other parts of the
east"

1926 CROP OF
Nd. WHEAT HAS
MORE PROTEIN
Experiment Station Tests
Show This Years Crop to
BE Better Than Last

Fargo, N. d., Oct. l9.-After test
ing 5O7 samples of North Dakota
wheat gathered from So counties in
the state, c. F.. Mangels, cereal chem
ist of the North Dakota Experiment
station, found that the 1926 cro,,
averages 1913 per cent protein con-
tent and has test weight average
Of 5S.l9 pounds to the bushel
In comparison with the tests
which were run last year, it has
been revealed that while weights
were greater last season the pro-
tein content was less. The protein
content in the 1924 wheat was 11.33
per cent, and the test weight was
609 pounds to the bushel.
Two of the three highest indivi-
dual samples this year were rcceiv-
ed from Golden Valley county, Mr..
Mangels says, one from Sentinel
Butte testing 1851 per cent and one
from Beach 1904 per cent. Wheat
from WillistOn was second with 1913
per cent protein content
Golden Valley Wheat Highest In
Protein
Golden Valley leads the state in
protein content. with an average Of
1869 per cent. Sheridan county
follows with 1870 per cent; Williams,
l4.07: Adams. 1872; Stark, 1859;
and Dunn, 1853. Forty-nine per
cent of the samples examined this
year contain more than - per cent
protein, while in 1924 only &c per
cent exceeded this amount, the chem
ist states.
Ward county samples had the high
est average test weight, 62.S pounds.
Rolette averaged 62 pounds, Bottin-
eau 61.5 pounds, Mountrail COS,
Oliver COS and Morton GOA. The
heaviest wheat, Mr.. Mangels found.
was produced in the north central
part of the state. Samples from II

only person missing in the near dis
aster which resulted in the deStrur-
tion by fire Of the sioawshi0. CO -
anchc, off Mayport Sat ,rdty 4ir..,.
Early reports which ~.Ii ~ per
sons were missing were ",cribed to
the confusion in taking the passcn-

Ten Injured
Ten persons were injured, some of
them seriously, their injuries occur
ing mostly when Il lifehoat was
crushed between the burning vessel
and the Texas company oil tanker
Reaper, which had gone to the
rescue while heavy sea was
rolling. Others were hurt when
another lifeboat spilled them into the
sea when one end was lowered too
rapidly.
Officials of the company are pre-
pairing Tor an investigation with the
hope of determi ming the origin Of the
fire which endangered the passen-
gers and crew. The utterly useless
steel hull Of the ship has been
beached on bank of St. Johns Ri
yer, where it was visited by United

ficials of the company. SO far the
origin of the fire is mystery. The
blaze started in forward hold No. 2
and ignited the naval stores there,
which is believed to be rcsponsi o!e
for quick spreading Of the flames
to proportions which could not be
