Immediately it was made known that Drouhin had agreed to pilot the Columbia on a westward transatlantic voyage, the French newspapers and some aero nautic circles let loose storm of criticism against Drouhir for accept ing the proposal, and against the American for making it. because Drouhin had already gone far with plans for his own transatlantic flight.

SCOTLAND FISHERIES PAY
MORE FOR CATCH

American Consul M. K. MOOrhead, Dundee, Scotland, in a report dated November 30, 1926, on the fishing industry of Scotland during the month of October, 1926, states the demand for fish was good turnout the month. The average price of herring for the month was $3.16 per hundredweight as compared with $2OO in October in 1925, while the average for all kinds of white fish was $6,66 per hundredweight. Of a total of 226.253 of fish taken, 69,757 were herring; 155,784 white fish (except herring, mackerel, etc.,, 28,O45 cod and codlings, and 74,24S haddocks.

 ganic Act of the Territory of Mis- souri, and in this case the power to prorogue the assembly was talk en from the Governor. Professor Farrand of Yale, an authority on legislation for government of the Territories, says that at this period (1S12) there had been many com plaints previously in the Territories that the powers of the Governor were too great, and Congress had often considered the advisability of restricting them, but nothing had come of it before."
 The Organic Acts of the Terri tories from 17S9 to 1886 had as a basis the Ordinance of 17S7 of the Northwest Territory, but each Act contained some provision curtailing the powers of Federal officials and making Territorial government se- parate and distinct from the Feder- al government in their administra- tive features.
 With the year 1886 came the Or ganic Act of Wisconsin, and this Act was a departure from the old Or dinance of 17S7. The Wisconsin Act was the model for future Terri tories and is the Act upon which our Alaska Act is based.
 The Wisconsin Act provided that no one holding commission under the United States, except officers of the State Militia, should be eligible for office under the Territorial gov ernment
 Tn 1889 the Legislature of Wis consin and Iowa were authorized to overrule the Governors veto, and the Governor was compelled to re- turn bills within three days. Thus by gradual advancement in self-rule. the powers of Federal officials re"1 been curtailed throughout the h,s, tory of Territorial government

so. All powers ever exercised by Federal officials in the Territories were those authorized by Congress. Tn Utah the efforts of the Legisla- ture were directed toward placing Territorial powers in the hands of men selected by themselves, just where they should be. The first memorial passed by the Legislature of Utah, just seven days after con- vening of the first assembly, was addressed to President Fillmore praying for the removal of the Se- cretary of the Territory and the ap- pointment of a new one. The reas- on for this removal is interestingly set forth in the following extracts from the memorial:

 and when the announcement of
 a Territorial government under

 us, it was hailed with shout

AL though we are ipso facto honor ed with the choice of sOver- eign and free people to be their representatives in legislative Assembly, and the refusal of captious stranger to accredit us with the fact, does not shake the truth, still studious viola tion of etiquette when it is de- signed to convey burlesque, contempt, and indignity upon legislative body, is calculated to alienate a people from such functiOnaries."
 It is readily seen why, just Y years ago, the people of Utah SC ID their newly authorized govern nent free from interlocking ad functions.
