A WISE MOVE.

The consolidation of the Alaska Railroad with the Seattle Bureau of Education is a move in the right di- rection, and will mean that other bu- reaus will probably merge for econ- omy and greater efficiency. There is no doubt that there are too many Bureaus in Alaskan management and that better results can be obtained and more uniform work done with less heads. The merger of the rail- road with the Seattle Bureau gives the railway advantage of the use of the schooner Boxer, which will be am- ply large to carry all necessary freight and will also enable the two Bureaus to get along with one pur- chasing agent. Now if the Forestry and Bureau of Fisheries would merge conditions might be bettered in the latter departments as We would have a Forestry office advising us on the care and propagation of Fish and the Fisheries officials conserving the forests.

WHY NOT A GAME WARDEN?

Seward residents little realize the money lost to the town by having no game warden stationed here in this, the big game hunting district in AL aska. Practically all hunters for the Kenai peninsula dis trict and for many points to the Westward outfit and start from Seward and in nearly every case there is delay over securing permits and licensing guides.
 Already an Anchorage company is working in the States with the prom ise that big game parties will jour- ney to the Inlet Town, outfit there and return to within few miles of Seward to leave for the big game fields. Were Seward residents as ac- tive in the attempt to secure these parties, it would be but a short time until pressure enough could be brot to bear on the game commission to secure a resident warden. AS it is now the warden, who is capable and efficient officer by the way, re- sides at Anchorage and all business must be done through him. This is all wrong as the game district is nearer Seward by many miles than it is to the Inlet Town.

DEFEATING THEIR ENDS

It is reported by politicians re- turning from governmental headquar- ters at Washington, D. C., that so many charges have been filed by the Frame wing of the Progressive party affiliated with the Republicans of the Territory, that officials with power to make the appointments became disgusted and were forced to appoint present officeholders in order, to show their confidence in their administra- tion.
 Alaskans, like others, are prone to file charges on the slightest provoca- tion. Despite the high character of those holding office some puerile charge is filed by the Outs" in an effort to so prejudice those in pow CT that they or their friends may get in. So prevalent has become the ha- bit that it has actually caused poli- tics in the Territory to become a joke, and to nullify any charges that may have merit.
 So far as the Gateway has observ- ed the present incumbents in office are as clean and moral and efficient as those attempting to succeed them in office, and in many instances are much better. Too many men have been placed in office because they are "good fellows" and not with any view to their ability or efficiency Nearly every office holder tries to do the right thing and administer their office the best way they know how. Few of us have virtues and

SEVERAL TONS REINDEER
 MOSS BE SHIPPED STATES

While at Windy last week B. B. Mozee in charge of the bureau of ed ucation's activities in this district, made arrangements for the picking and shipping of five tons of reindeer moss to Lomen Brothers in Seattle.
 This moss is presumably to be used by the reindeer which were shipped outside by Lomen Brothers from Nome parks and organizations throughout the states. It is expected that other shipments will be made in the future.

 The multitude of charges filed by office seekers have defeated their aim, and undoubtedly further mud dled the minds of the heads of gov ernment.

CLOSE IN FROM
4 DIRECTIONS
Alleged Leaders Of $lO,OOO,'
900 Smuggling Combine
Indicted i'm Frisco

San Francisco, Nov. 3O.-[R)-Pro-
hibition forces moved against the or
ganized liquor traffic Of the Pacific
coast from four directions yesterday.
While q royal commission at VIC
toria. B. c., was learning in its in
vestigation Of rum smuggling that
great quantities Of liquor are being
shipped by Canadian exporters with
the full knowledge that it bater will
find its way into the United States,
indictments were returned here
against the alleged leaders Of what
the San Francisco newspapers call q
so, ,O0O, 900 smuggling combine which
has been operating all the way from
CanadA to Mexico.
In addition, the federal government
today set up q 24-hour customs pa
troll which will operate against liquor
running at every port Of entry in the
stAte. This force will supplement
coast guards by patrolling the
shores.
While the indictments returned BY
the federal grand jury were kept
secret pending arrest Of some o.
those named, they are assumed to &C.
cuse several men Of wealth and in.
fluence on the Pacific coast Of con
nsction with the big rum circle.

RERDINAND'S
DEATH RUMORS
U Noon FIRMED
Bucharest Official Advices
Maintain Condition Of
King Is Improving
London, Nov. JO-(AP)-The
Rumanian legation this morning
announced the receipt of . mess
age stating that King Ferdinand
was gradually improving.

Paris, Nov. 3O.-LP)-Although
Bucharest official advices continue to
maintain that the condition Of King
Ferdinand is better, rumors from
Vienna, Belgrade and other centers
are that he is dead. One report even
asserts that he died last Saturday.
The statement from Bucharest that
Ferdinand's condition has shown i'm
provement seems to be borne out by
diplomat who has just arrived here
from the Rumanian capital. He says
that in Bucharest the belief prevails
that the reports as to the king, COM
ing from Vienna. Berlin, Belgrade,
and other places, have been dissemin-
ated by skillful soviet propaganda
with the object of making trouble in
Rumania.
The chief difficulty, he declares.
appears to be that the doctors in at
tendance upon Ferdinand, notwith-
standing their bulletins, do not know
exactly what is the matter with him,
and that two specialists from Paris
are going to Bucharest to study the
case and try to make an accurate
diagnosis.
That the various reports of the
demise of the king are untrue also
seems to be indicated by . dispatch
received from the steamer Beren-
garia last evening. This said that
Queen Marie. who is on the steamer
has received o. radio from King Fer.

DAUGHERTY
is WITNESS
IN OIL CASE
Former Attorney General
Questioned Concerning Elk
Hills Oil Reserves

Washington, Nov. Harry
NJ. Dausherty, former attorney gen
eral Of the United States, and him
self under indictment on conspir-
acy charge, was called to the witness
stand today in the Fall-Doheny oil
case.
The former cabinet officer made his
appearance unexpectedly to lend
spice to the hum drum tenor Of more
or less technical testimony which the
prosecution had been presenting TO
strengthen it's claim that former
Secretary Fall Of the interior depart
ment, and Edward l.. Doheny, wealthy
oil operator, had entered into CON
spiracy in connection with the naval
oil leases.
Daugherty, with Thomas w. Miller,
former alien property custodian, was
tried in New York recently in a case
involving the disposal Of seized alien
property, the case resulting In a
mistrial.
Opinion Not Asked
Today the oil prosecution called
him for questioning concerning the
part taken by the department Of JUS
tice in connection with the Elks Hills
naval oil reserves and the Pearl Har-
bor naval base. He said he never had
been asked for an opinion on the
legality Of the proposed contracts and
leases.
As matter Of fact, naugherty said
he did not know such leases and con-
tracts ever had come to the depart
ment of justice in any way. He add
ed that he did not know Doheny.
On cross examination the former
attorney general said that each gov
ernmental department had its own
legal staff and that it was customary
to present legal questions to the at
torney general only when the depart
mental staffs were in doubt as to the
law.
