BOOST FOR PETERSBURG

"The Alaskan is always knocking and never does boost for anything constructive" is a wall we hear oc- casionally. We don't know wheth- CT this is supposed to be boost or la knock-but here goes.
 The City is going to purchase street lumber in the near future and from all indications Nick Neus, raUmer representing the Wrangeli Mill and Power Company is going to get the business That mill no dcubt needs every order that it can get and what Wrangell gets in 9 smaller measure, eventually will be of benefit to Petersburg. BUT
 We are not interested in any ia- direct benefits to Petersburg via our neighboring city. We are inter cested in developing a payroll for Petersburg and immediate vicinity. The Knutsen Brothers have a small mill across the bay which can be developed to larger point by con- st2nt patronage from local buyers b. they private individuals or the the city itself. The Suthwest Mil Company at Scow Bay will be in operaion within the next few weeks and will need rders to carry on.
 Both mills will purchase logs from local men who will outfit from local stores who ill turn employ oth- CT help and theerby swell the sum total of earning and spending power locally.
 Industry and payrolls build up towns while sending away for pro duets made or sold locally does rot build any community.

THE CORE RECOMMENDATION
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

(Ketchikan Chronicle)
 The Senate of the United States having seen it to refuse con6rml- ton of the nomination of Edgar 4. Adams for the Judgeship ot the First Judicial Division of Masks, it becomes a matter of great inter est to Alaskans as to what action President Coolidge will now ta%., Tie Bar Association of ketchikan yesterday recommended that lne Chef Executive immediately make a rec ess appointment and urged that the appointee be an Alaskan. It went further and recommended that Lester 0. Gore of ketchikan be given the place.
 Whether the President acts up- on the suggestion or not it was a pretty compliment to Mr. Cora from his brother members of the legal profession. At meeting was present every member of the bar of Ketchikan except one, ant those present were unanimous ln urging his appointment.
 The Chronicle joins the attorneys 1T the belief that MT. Gore is the most valuable man in the Territory for the position. His selection pv President Coolidge would be a hap pr solution of the problem.

 Fathers Day should be set aside as Il day when he can lay abed anu have his breakfast brought to nim and for once he can be lord of his manor. Poor fish! He usually thinks he's boss, but. It takes him some time to find that he just foots the bills while Mothers rule the home and the world.
 However, tis Fathers Day and in many communities he will be fit ingly honored.

THE MOST VALUABLE MAN

When the Chronicle declares Les ter to be the most valuable man in the Territory for the position" it is not crediting the lawyers of the Territory very highly. In fact, i, strikes us that it is casting a refec- ton on other men WHO ARE val pable to the Territory for the posi- tiob.
 We call to mind the regime Of 'Lil' George Arthur Shoup, dis trict attorney and his valuable aid Lester O. Gore This was the most pitiful attempt by that office to ca ry out the work of that depart ment in this Division. We do not call to mind a single case-major case, in which the district attorneys secured conviction. It was notori- ous for it's failure in uphOlding the dignity of the law and the office up- or. which fell the duty of brins ing to justice, violatOrs of the law The District Attorneys Gore and Shoup just made a sorry spectacle of themselves and their office and were the laughing stock of the ter ritory.
 Now as to the most valuable; nan for that offlce-there is James Nickersham who already has serv- ed as federal judge in Alaska ana John Rustgard, Attorney General for the Territory-either one the two men have forgotten more points of law than Lester ever will leara. They have unquestioned ability; they are respected and esteemed for their integrity and above all fu; their independence On the otho. hand we note that Lester is cor pnration attorney and of such type as to lend himself to subserviency to the interests which have placed

The Bar Association of Ketchikan reminds us of vote for the most popular lady of Wrangell A bunch of young fellows got together and decided to vote for the most home lv and unpopular lady ill town. Lit tlo did they think she would be elected, but she was. It went to her head and spoiled a good seam stl ess and failed to make her eith- CT good looking or popular. Nor will the nomination of Lester d0 him or the Territory any gooI lrt obvious reasons.
 Probably the Ktchikan Bar As sociation is just complimentins I.ester-it isn't reasonable that theJ ir seriousness contemplate the boy in that responsible position which calls for considerable more knoWl- edge of the law, dignity and person ality than has "Lil'' Lester.

 TARIFF

Repeal of the flexible provisions of the Tariff Act of 1922, particu- larly of Section 315 which confers authority upon the President to re wise tariff rates, was recommended to Congress by the Select Committee of the Senate which conducted ar exhaustive investigation of the Tar it Commission. The Select Com mit5ee finds that experience has nos demonstrated the practical value of the flexible provisions of the Tariff Act, and emphasizes it's view that tariff making and revision are legi9- lative functions that should not be delegated by Congress.

 June ,, 1923 Editor THE ALASKAN
 Petersburg, Alaska
 Gentlemen
 Your little write-up about the Autocratic Bureaucrats, is a strik ing example of my TRUTHFUL COMPLAINT to you, and many Prominent People, Senators, Judg- es and to the U. s. President and Interior Department, but all of you been SlDESTEPPING only Senators wrote me.
 You cannot expect that any sane man or men, will put their money into Alaska's mineral discoveries like yours, to develop, as long as you have this autocratic Bureau Icrat running your Alaska into the Dcorhouse, and fill their pockets from the $11, 1,O0O,0OO (the sleepy American taxpayers shovel the good American Dollars into the maws ct these eyersO Money-Mad Bureau crats. One of our most prominent Pioneer Alaska jurists writes me when that Alaska Legislature comes to Juneau they are MINED ANI> DJNED by the Bureaucrats from the Governor down to all the 38 or no Bureaucratic officials, and then the Legislators ARE WOUND UP, and have to promise to let mat ters of the Territorial affairs be as it is.
 Does not that show that sand Is thrown into the eyes of the Alaska Iccple?
 Such like me, spent our 28 or 30 years in the wilds exploring for min erals and the voters send such notorious - - - --- Gr-er, into the Legislature. Judge Wickersham surely struck the nail ! on the head but not fast enough when he started suit against the three that call themself Governor, Secretary and Treasurer to shovel out money for graft. The Anchor age News wrote 1926, $32,OOO ter riforial money was spent by Parks and as 3 Bombast never in the of flee but EXCURSIONING THRu THE WHOLE TERRITORY, anl starved some of us Pioneers to near Death and Drove several to commit suicide.
 | am an Alaska citizen over 25 years in the wilderness exploring nd prospecting as you know me th's many years. (They lied to you, to the secretary of the Interi- or to Judge Wickersham that my family is rich in the states, let they support him (me). After I appeal ed for my deserved Territorial Pen sicH, that is due me as per law, now $675. but never got a cent It is pure spite and malice from that Parks, and the feller that runs that Hellish Pest House in Sitka l borrowed and begged of friends money to live and the Court of the 3rd Judicial District helped me a little, when I was on the verge 0f starving to dead in Anchorage, and sad no wonder, the People leave Alaska broke but the Bureaucrals LIVE HIGH AND GLORIOUS of the $11, 100000 sHOVELED by the U. S. Taxpayers to them. A shame to civilization.

Smith Followers Say Pap CTS Will Be for New
 Yorker in Campaign

NEW YORK, May 1.-The New York World says the supporters of Gov. Alfred F. Smith have lit tie doubt that the Hearst news. papers will, at what William K. Hearst deems to be the proper time, be supporting Gov. Smith for the presidency. It says his return to New York before the voting in California was for the purpose of further patching up the differences between himself and Gov. Smith. Hearst, who has been supporting Senator Reed for the presidency, foresaw the defeat of his favorite in the com ing primary.
 Rumor has connected the name of Mayor James J. Walker with the anticipated transition oi Hearst and his newspapers from opposing to the support of Gov. Smith.
 The New York World, comment. HE Oll lHt ulolOAiS AOuA DSe" WI Hearst and Gov. Smith, said:
 "The ancient feud between Hearst and Smith, which culmi' mated few years ago when Gov Smith prevented Charles F. Mur' phy from nominating the publish CT for governor, is a matter oi history. In bitterness it was sec ond to none.
 For many months, however there have been signs that the hard language which marked the political and personal passages between the two men was being forgotten.
 'In a series of articles he pre- pared for the World last Decem Der, expressing his views on ma tional politics, MT. Hearst. while expressing a preference for Reed set up Smith with Walsh as pos sessing the qualifications he out lined for the presidency"

WASHINGTON, May H. A move to put the United States in first place in the development of air mail routes in South and Cen tral America is being considered by the postoffice department. In connection with it President Coolidge has recommended to con gross a $1,750,000 increase in the departments appropriation, upon data submitted to him by Post master General Harry s. New.
 Five tentative air mail routes touching lands outside the United States are planned, four of them to countries southward.
 For some months the state de pertinent, at MT. News sugges- tion, has been negotiating with governments through whose terri tories the mail routes would tra- vel, to forestall intervention of other countries in plans for ex- pansion of the United States air mail. The postmaster general be- lieves the possibility of exclusive franchises for air mail routes to any country has been done away with by these diplomatic arrange ments.
 The main route under consider ation would cover the western coast of South America, with stops in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile. If the appropriation Is granted this will be the first route established, because the important countries involved have now no access to speedy mail service. This route will be $500 miles long and will probably require a full two-day flight for each trip.
 Second in importance is a route from Havana through Yucatan British Honduras, Guatemala, Mic aragua and Costa Rica, terminat- ing at Colon, Panama. This line probably would absorb the pres ent Key WestJto-Havana line.
 The tnfrd in importance will be new line through the West In- dies from San Juan to Santiago by way of Santo Domingo and Port au Prince, connecting with Havana by fast train service. Plans for the fourth route still are vague, but 1t is contemplated it will traverse the northern coast of South America, starting at Go lon in Panama, stopping at Co lombia, an island of Curacao, and Venezuela, terminating at the Island of Trinidad.
