Legislative Candidates Have
 Good Meeting Monday Night

Legislative candidates TOT the Territorial Legislature held meet ing in the McGregor Theater on Monday evening last. Hon. William l.. Paul, acting as chairman of the evening introduced Hon. Charles Benjamin, of Wrangell, Senator r. C. MacCormack, of Wrangell and A. L. Olts, of Ketchikan, each fol- lowing with a short speech as to their stand on issues affecting the Territory.
 A. L. Olts, the first speaker for 32 years has been in the Territory from the extreme south end to Point Barrow and up in the in- terior. When he came to Alaska first, conditions and resources were much different from what they are today. Conditions to the westward and interior also are as much changed as it is on the coast. The principle resource in southeastern Alaska being the fisheries while tn the interior mining has full swing.
 He called attention to the great crowds of people coming in to the Territory for a few months each year but no measure of protection has been given bona fide residents in any manner. Alaskans going tO Oregon and Washington are com pelled to reside in those states one year before being granted a license to seine or fish in the waters of those states. Alaska is the dumping ground of the overflow of those states and we submit to their com petition and no protection is grant ed Alaskans. Calling attention to the fisheries he stated that if res- ident fishermen are not protected and if the industry itself is not pro- tected from over-production that it is only a matter of time when AL a3kans must go to the States to secure 8 livlihood."
 He paid his respects to the timber resources and pulp industry. Stat ing that it was not the intention of the manufacturers of paper to en- ter Alaska before 50 years. That they only desire to tie up timber reserves for future date and that they could we'll afford to invest a million or so to have the timber when they desire to cut it. He stated that there are seven pulp plants being established in Wash ington and Oregon, investments running into the millions of dollars. After the supply in those sections are more limited then they would be ready to enter Alaska.
 His motto he stated was Home Rule for Alaska and he promises to give that measure his full sup, port.

The Alaskan., 1928-04-20


 enter this primary may be laid to that record In the legislature of 1917 he sponsored the Educational Bill which governs educational mat. ters in the Territory to this day and called attention to the fact that it was the biggest piece of legislation to the benefit of all in the Territory. He fathered the wolf bounty bill and also pushed bill through which aided the Petersburg Bank at time when such a bill was necessary. This in spite of the Banking board and commission.
 He promised to work along con- structive lines in legislative matters and for the benefit of the whole rather than to favor any special in- terest In these matters he will do his best if elected.
 HON. CHAS. BENJAMIN
 T come to get better acquainted with the people of Petersburg" he said in opening his talk. Called attention to his record in the last legislature as working for Alaska He gave full measure of support tC the Controller Bill He believed that Alaska will have the dual form of government for some time but felt that Alaska should take as much control of it's own affairs as It may under the powers now grant ed by Congress- In the course of time, Alaska will have opportunity to govern itself without the aid of the Federal Government.
 He declared that questions now before the electorate effect every Alaskan. That the Territory must be given full control of all of it's resources. He believed in the sincerity of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries but cannot see that it's policies are of any benefit to the Territory The resource belongs tc the people and should be controlled by the people.
 He believed that Alaska must have capital to develop it's resources dnG that it must be dealt with fair1 ly but the people also must have square deal He declared en- phatically that he believed in giv- ing every measure of support to the men who build their homes in Alaska and aid them in developing the Territory.

Narrow Highway

ing the commissioners court TO
widen the 15-foot highway between
Harrington and San Benito to the
standard width Of rs feet. is expect
cd to be presented at an early meet
ing of the court.
Traffic over the highway has in
creased TO the point where the mar
row width constitutes a menac TO
public safety, the resolution will
state. II is pointed put that the
highway is now carrying five times
as much traffic as when il was con-
~structed and that the narrow width
Is not only dangerous but also slows
down traffic.
The suggestion will be made that
an 1s-inch concrete curb be erected
on each side. extending about an
inch and a half above the surface.
and that the present l5-foot width
be covered with rock asphalt or some
suitable topping. This would pro-
vide a standard width highway and
would eliminate the permanent
waves in the present highway.

Club Gets
Credit in Fire
Truck Purchase

When the new fire-fighting APP
paratus recently authorized by the
Matamoros city government arrives
and II is expected to arrive within
the next 80 days-residents OF that
city may turn to the Rotary club OF
that town with their thanks.
The idea was promulgated by the
organization, and 81 500 Of the $4,000
necessary to purchase the equipment
was raised among the members OF
the club.
The remainder of the money will
be raised by the city and through
popular subscription, it was said.
The $500 Of the Rotary club will be
used rs a down payment oil the APP
paratus, il was said. r. Castillo
has been named treasurer Of the
fund.
Plans for the equipment were
launched about two months ago
when flames that broke out in the
middle of the night destroyed one
lumber yard and the home Of the
American consul. At that time the
Brownsville fire department made
a run to the scene, and it was
through their efforts mainly that
the entire block was saved.
The new equipment will consist
of a modern A~merican-La France
pumper with hose and other ap-
paratus TO match. II will be nan
ned and maintained by the city aft
er it arrives. il is said.

The Beater and Bowl

Something that every housewife needs
and can use to splendid advantage. A
clear glass bowl that is graduated, serving
likewise as a measuring cup. A perfectly
fitting but quickly removable top holds
the beaten, which is easily operated at very
high speed. A particularly advantageous
point about the beaten is that it can be
easily and quickly cleaned. For the max
ing of mayonnaise or other dressings and
for whipping Of cream, this Beaten and
Bowl IS unexcelled. II is a time and labor
saving adjunct for the kitchen that every
woman will appreciate.

Developing
Big Acreage


Surveys for the development Of
the II. Kempner tract Of LIPS acres,
adjoining the Los Fresnos tract on
the north, have been practically co.n-
pleted, and clearing is expected TO
get under way in a few days. Part
of the acreage will be planted TO
citrus fruit, and planting will start
In about six weeks.
Lee kempner Of Galveston, one of
the owners of the acreage, arrived n
the Valley Friday TO conclude all ar
rangements for the development Of
the tract.
Present plans of the owners are
to ~irrigate the acreage from the pro-
posed gravity system, the main ca
nal of which will run east and west
about a mile north Of the Los Fres-
nos resaca from the San Jose ranch
line to the coastal area.
There is practically no waste land
on the tract, developers state. The
entire area is well adapted to citrus
fruit, and practically the entire
acreage will be set TO trees, accord
Ing 70 present plans.

1000 ACRES TO
GO ON MARKET
of Large
Tract Near Combes
Gets Under WAY

COMBES. Feb. l7.-Approximate-
~ 5000 acres will be added to cul-
tivated area in the Combes territory
according to plans Of w. r. Schusler.
Snicago capitalist, who purchased
the Cara ranch last year.
Clearing on the large acreage is
under way, and approximately ESQ
acres has been planted TO cotton,
vegetables and feed crops. The
owners expect TO plant one-fourth Of
the tract TO citrus fruit, and IL will
be sold in 40-acre blocks with 10
acres Of citrus fruit on each block.
Ine tract lies about three miles
northeast Of Combes and is outside
the irrigated area, but will probably
be included in the proposed district
which is being designed TO water
Niilsey and the northern section Of
cameron counties. The soil is ex-
tremely fertile and is in the center
Of one Of the rapidly developing sec
tons Of the unirrigated area.
Efforts will be made by Tire de-
velopers to sell the land 70 northern
farmers interested in stock and
chicken raising. and IL Is probable
That only a small part Of the acre
age will be planted to cotton.
