j. S. MOVES TO BUY
ANALOSTAN ISLAND
Negotiations in Parkway
Plan Are Opened With
GasIight Company.

Negotiations looking toward the
acquisition by the government Of
Analostan Island, in the Potomac
River opposite Georgetown. have been
instituted with the Washington Gas
Light Co. the present owners, by the
office Of Public Buildings and Public
Parks of the National Capital. Lieut.
Col. L. s. Grant, Sd. director Of the
office. said that the gas company was
in a receptive mood and appeared to
be willing to come to some agree
ment for the transfer of the property
The company, it was said by Col
Grant has tentatively suggested that
it would be willing to give up the
Analostan property in exchange for
aforementioned land elsewhere in
the city. which would provide for an
extension of the gas producing plant
to meet increased demands of the
city.
AnacOstia Land Suggested.
II has been suggested to the COM
panv that it might be possible to get
land in the vicinity of Giesboro Point
in Anacostia, where there are aVaila-
BILE railroad and water facilities. If 1t
is finally decided to exchange land, 1t
would be necessary for the Parks
office TO obtain a special act OF tccfl-
gress. However, II AnalobtAn Island
could be bought at reasonable figure,
the Federal officials would have au'
thority TO purchase it outright without
additional action. The Federal Gov
eernment does not own the land be-
tween Giesboro Point and the Bellevue
Naval Laboratory, but 1t is believed
that it could be purchased at a rea-
sonable price.
The city planners have been anxious
for some time to obtain Analostan
Island for park purposes In connection
with the general Improvement in that
area and in connection with the COM
pletion of the Arlington Memorial
Bridge. Analostan Island is just above
Columbia Island, over which the
bridge will go. II is separated only by
a narrow waterway. officials have
pointed out that it would be very un-
slightly to have a gas works on this
island to mar the beautiful improve.
ments which have been planned and
now re in the making.
Comprises II Acres.
The gas company purchased the
island some years ago. it was said,
as place to shift it's western plant,
when it was believed that the Govern
ment would take the area now 0CCu-
pied in connection with the develop.
ment of Rock Creek and Potomac
parkway. However, the west plant
will be allowed to remain in-its pres
ent place and it was said that the
gas company had informed the Fed
eral official that 1t was not particu.
larly anxious to retain the island if
it could obtain ground elsewhere that
would be suitable to its needs.
There are about II acres on Ana
lostan Island. If the Government sue
ceeds in obtaining it under the plans
now being worked out. it will be con-
nected with Columbia Island by a
bridge and the two developed as q
great parkway and recreation center.
There will be driveways leading from
the Arlington Memorial Bridge to
roads on Columbia Island.

STATEMENT BY GEORGE

Wallis George, president ami
manager of the Juneau Cold Stor-
age Company asserted that he
was in favor of seeing the ia
neau commercial club support The
Petersburg Chamber of Com
merce's resolution asking for the
prohibition of herring for the
manufacture of meal.
There are plenty of other
things that fertilizer can be made
from without depicting the her.
ring" Mr.. George said. I'VE have
not had shortage of bait here
as we handle very little herring
because our present plant does n 1t
permit 1t, and the fishermen secure
their fresh bait at Killisnoo. New
ertheless there has been a short
age of herring in the district from
Juneau to Ketchikan, and 1t Is
my belief that it is urgent that
the Juneau Chamber of Commerce
endorse the Petersburg resolu-
tion."

HERRING BAIT
IS NOW SHORT

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Oct. 81
Halibui fishermen here are con
cerned over the reported shortage
of herring bait. The last of the
frozen herring on the Ketchikan
market has been sold. Prince Ri.
pert, Wrangell and Petersburg are
likewise reported to have exhaust
ed supplies. The use of herring
for fertilizer is blamed by some.
A number OF small halibut fish
ing vessels are said to be tied
up at Petersburg due to lack
of bait.

HANLoN's OPINION

IN my opinion and in the
opinions of most of the people
of Sitka. it would be folly to pro-
hibit herring plants from using
herring in the manufacture of
meal" said w. r. Hanlon. may II
of Sitka.
THE people of Petersburg and
Wrangell want all of Alaska 10
pay for their Mistakes he said.
six years ago made a trip to
many OF the salteries. found
they were throwing their small
fish away and keeping only the
large ones to salt. In short time
the fish would not enter these
bays and soon were driven almost
entirely out of the Seymour Canal
district, because herring will not
enter bay where dead fish have
been deposited.
However, although there may
be shortage of herring in those
districts, | believe that there are
more herring In all OF Alaska
than ever before. Coming into
Juneau the first part of this weel:
we ran into one school. and her.
ring played about the ship for a
distance of Is miles. That was
near Sitka. From Killisnoo to- the
end Of Douglas Island we saw
school after school. The water

south end hut further north Is

There is no reason why herring
should not be used in the mana.

FOR THOSE WHO DESIRE 1T
Defeat Of Effort to Revise Sunday
Blue Laws.

/ Defeat Of Effort to Revise Sunday
Blue Laws.
Trenton, n. j, April Lit is not
considered probable that any at
tempt viii be made to revise the
Sunday blue laws for some years
to come. The effort got no further
this year than in any session Of the
Legislature since the agitation be
gan. The Assembly passed the BIZ
TO bill BIZ a bare majority and pro
digious effort was made to line up
II votes in the Senate. but in the
final hours only two were cast in
its favor. II is known that senti-
ment for such revision has grown
in recent years and even some Of
tile foremost advocates OF Sabbath
observance have struck severe
blows at intolerance and oppression
in this respect. but in this instance
the sponsors for the movement
failed TO appreciate the religious
issue and instincts of those who
feared total breakdown Of the
ancient institution.
The bill as presented and passed
b. Assembly offered way for any
community to prevent iuyasions OF
the day by a referendum election
in which the voters could make a
choice. That, however, proved the
most serious obstacle to victory for
the revisionists in the Senate. IL
was pointed out by Senator Case,
of Somerset, in one Of the most i'm
pressive speeches made in the halls
of legislation in this State in many
years, that, despite this apparent
safeguard. there was M further as
surance of preserving the day OF

The final result staggered the re
vtsionists. for they had made a long
and valiant battle for the cause

issue, and he had won by hand

Faith is the basis. It has to do
with both physical and spiritual.
It has to do with the whole man.
soul and body.
I know many win shrug their
shoulders with unbelief at this
statement. Many perfectly appre-
bend physical laws, but ignore the
spiritual law.
Nevertheless faith is omnipotent
and Jesus is the same in his power
today as he was when He healed
the woman OF the issue Of blood
Of twelve years standing.
Thus stands the statement-firm,
flexible, and result Of importun-
ate pleading. IF thou canst believe
all things are possible to Him that
believeth." Others in the crowd
necessarily touched his clothes,
but weI- not affected thereby. Why
not?--For the same reason that
many today do not feel, nor enjoy
the healing power Of soul and
body which savior full of pity
and compositions stands ready to
give.
Today as on many occasions, He
can do no mighty work because OF
unbeiief, which closes the door and
He enters no closed doors.
Open the door, and give Him
your warmest affections, live as in
his presence, keep company with
the angels, walk in company with
the invisible. Dwell on the beauti-
ful true and good Do what IS
right ia your thought regard this
life a. The doorway or as the pre-
face s. The eternal gateway

and hope through your fears. as He
said TO the woman. so viii He say
to you Thy faith hath made me
whole"
With this truth no longer in the
realm Of mystery and becoming
magnified, and the cause of which
the soul becomes dominant over
the body, and not the body over
the soul
Let the spiritual be crowned and
remember Jesus own words. "He
that believeth on me. the works
that I do, and greater works than
l do, shall he do, because he be-
lieveth on me" and then with ap-
propriated faith, you will hear Him
say. GO THY WAY, FOR THY

A cRgDITABLE SEASON.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer)
The New Jersey Legislature made
very creditable record. It auth
orized highway program with a
bond issue OF $30,OO0,00O looking TO
the creation of a fund of 100000.
GOO for new roads and passed a
2-cent gas tax This leaves Hi
nois, New York and Massachusetts
as the only States without such a
levy on gasoline. New Jersey CON
soles its motorists, however. by ex-
empting their cars from personal
taxation. The States criminal code
is strengthened by a series Of laws
that will expedite trials and viii
permit the imposition Of life sen
fences on habitual offenders. IF
forts to return to the party con
yention system failed but five i'm
portant constitutional amendments
were proposed. One Of them seeks
70 extend the term Of the Governor
and another to provide for biennial
rather than annual meetings of the
legislators. The work of the New
Jersey Legislature will compare
favorably with that of others now
