A PROCLAMATION


 Alaska is vitally interested in the utilization of it's forest and grazing lands The future pros perity of our Territory depends in a large degree on our ability io deive the maximum yield from these resources in a manner which will not deplete nor destroy them Our vast forests and large areas of grazing lands are almost untouched at present and there is yet time for us to adopt ade- quate measures for their protec- tion
 Our problem is not difficult because we have the benefit of the experience gained by other states and territories which have been confronted with similar con ditions. It has been demonstrated that forest lands may be made to yield a continuous supply of tim Der in the same way that our farms produce crops of wheat or other staples and this can be done with less effort than is required in the cultivation of agricultural lands.
 "The preservation of our forests depends on the installation of eff ficient methods of logging and the control of fires. The administra. tive agencies of the government will assure proper cutting but the responsibility for protection from the menace of fires must be as. stunned by the residents of the Territory. Forest fires occur gen. erally because of our carelessness since it is only in rare instances that they result from natural causes. We must accept this re. sponsibility and unite in our ef- forts to prevent them. A small fire, if allowed to spread, will de- stroy in a few hours more than nature can reproduce in eighty years These fires not only de- vastate the forests but they kill all wild life in the fire swept areas and destroy nests and breeding grounds. An increasing tendency to disregard the right of others, selfishness, want of re- spect for public property, and in sufficient information about the damage that may result from neg ligence are responsible for the lack of public interest in the pre- vention of forest fires
 The observance of American Forest Week is helpful in arous- ing the public to the necessity for a universal effort in combating those agencies which, if uncon- trolled, ultimately will result in the destruction Of our forests.
 The President of the United States, by proclamation dated February "A, 1928. designated the week beginning April 22nd and ending April 2S- as
 AMERICAN FOREST WEEK
 Therefore. |, George A. Parks, Governor of the Territory of Alas ka in conformity herewith do hereby request all the people of the Territory to join in the prop CT observance of this week and urge that thoughtful consideration be given to the problems involved in the preservation and perpetu- ation of our forests.
 Given under my hand and the Seal of the Territory of Alaska, in Juneau, the capital. this ninth day of March, in the year of Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-eight and of the Indepen- dence of the United States of America, the One Hundred Fifty second.

kcmpkcy, who was employed by the
State Engineer to make study of
it, - the state engineer declared yes
tcrday:
"ln the first place the Bond Com
mission did not discountcnancc the
project, nor was its action based on
the Kcmpkcy report. We acted upon
all of the reports.
He declared further that his
recommendation and final accept
ancc Of the whole project including
the plans for building a distribution
system were based entirely upon
the engineering merits and that he
is in complete agreement with the
bond commission s approval which
reads:
''ln our opinion the Imperial lr-
rigation District is justified in pro
cccdng with proposed additional
issue of bonds, aggrcgating 81, 100,
900. the proceeds of which are to be
expended for the construction of
power plants, transmission lines and
appurtcnant works for the develop
mcnt and distribution of hydro -clcc-
trio energy by the district.
The state engineer denied that he
had ever insisted on the whOlcsaling
proposal as outlined in the Brockman
letter. He said he had merely wish
ed to be certain that that matter had
been considered together with the
others. He emphatically denied that
the bond commissioners had APPROX
ed the project Gin Difference to the
wishes of the majority of the irri-
CATION district dircctors,' as stated
in the Brockman letter.
Decided on Merits
Our action was based entirely
upon all Tie reports and information
both of the districts and those in
tcrcSts seeking to prevent the Dis
trict from launching into the power
business. The merits of the project
were the sole consideration of the
commission he said.
When asked whether he would
have approved the project if he had
any question as to its being self
sustaining. Hyatt said:
"Ccrtainlv not! | would not give
my approval to such a proposal if
| believed it would add to the tax
burden of your people. Unless such
projects ere assured of financial
success ard are certain to bring in
ample revenue to pay their own way,
they are not desirable and hence
they would not be given the approval
of my department.

Local KiWanians
Hear Educator

Declaring that book learning alone
does not make person educated,
Dir. L. p. Woellner, professor of civic
education at the University of Cali
fornia, gave an excellent address
before the FL Centre Kiwanis club
Yesterday. Many members declared
it to be the best that has ever been
given before the club.
Taking as his topic " What Is
Education, DR.. Woellner proceeded
to prove that it is not the amount
of reading person does, but the
use he makes of what he has read
that makes him really educated.
"TUhless one can control the energy
and develop the ideas inspired by
what educational institutions have
to offer, he cannot really claim to
be cducated,' the speaker said.
lie cited Edison rs an example of
n man who had received only a
mcagre school education, yet devel'
oped into the greatest inventor in
the world because he was able to
control and develop ideas.
Education is practical as well
as thcorctical,' DR.. Woellner said
land the man who is content with
theory and does not extend himself
to the practical side, loses the great
est value in education.
4 delegation Of Brawley Kiwani'
were present to extend an invitation
TO the local Kiwanis club to attend
"Ladies' Night program next
Friday.
Bill Schcniman acted as chairman
OF the day.

Vaudeville At

Another clever vaudeville bin will
be presented tomorrow night at the
West Coast Imperial Theatre, in
line with the policy adopted when
the theatre was opened. Manager
Norris has booked number of
novelty singing and dancing acts in
addition to Bud Lines Red Wing
Orchestra, which viii provide popu-
lar music.
'Captain Swaggcr, starring Rod
La Rocquc and Sue Carol, is the
feature picture for tomorrow. TINS
is a stirring film based ON the
plight of n member of the Lafayette
Escadrillc following the war Thrill
inc scenes of air battle mark the
first part of the picture, and equally
sensational Lattlcs in 2angland are
woven into the story after the tale
is shifted from the warfront to New
York.
La Rocmc has won a splendid
reputation in the last year for the
calibrc of pictures in which he has
appeared, and has created a new
tvpc of hero. The "loungc-lizard -
type has given away to the two
fistcd man of action.
Tonight "Smokc Bellew,' based
on Jack London 5 famous novel, Will
be shown at the Imperial. To re-
mark ON London s widely read book
would be superfluous. The director
has adhered to the plot as London
wrote it, thereby showing good
sense. Conway Tearle and Barbara
Bedford have the leading roles OF
Kit Bclicw and JOY Gastelle. Tearle
has an ideal role and the leads are
ably supported by an excellent cast
