were at the local High School building
on Monday night to witness the films
obtained from the Forestry Depart
ment and exhibit there by c. Cyril
Klein, district forester, and A. L.
Sines, district warden, of Sines. The
films presented a story showing the
destructiveness of burning forests to
get good grass lands, which resulted
in being poorer grass lands than be-
fore the operation. The same pic
lures were shown in Kitzmiller, Acct

Jersey charging larceny Of a plane, his
counsel late today obtained writ Of
habeas corpus from Judge Walter M.
Pickett of the court OF common pleas.
The writ summons Sheriff James
Geddes to produce Acosta in court to-
morrow morning to show by what right
he holds the aviator.
Rocco Ierardi, of New Haven, and
John H. Gimaldi, of New Haven, at
torneyS for AcoSta, maintain that the
New Jersey warrant charging larceny
is not binding on the flier, from whom

lease from five days sentence inn
posed on him for flying low over
Naugatuck, his former home town, on
Wednesday Ocosta's counsel today
filed the $100 bond necessary for the
release of the flier on that charge in

being held is from Sheriff H. G.
Harper of Bergen county, New Jersey,
and charges larceny of the plane in
which he violated the Connecticut
aviation laws in flying low over cen
ters of population.

POLITICAL MINDED BAR ASSO-
 CLAYTON" From Ketchikan Chronicle

The Bar Association of Ketchi- kan, d meeting yesterday, adopt ed 9 resolution calling upon the gov ernor to call a special session of the legislature to create territorial courts with their natural impedi- menta
 10 attorney at the meeting or voting for the measure thought for an instant that the Governor would call such a session, and some of thCse who voted for the resolution were, we are convinced, satisfied that if the program were carried out it would result only in turmoil.
 Seven of the eleven attorneys pre- sent then voted in favor of endors- ing Judge James Wickersham for the judgeship of the First Division. While we have indicated our opin- ion that Judge Wickersham is well fitted for certain important works concerning the Territory we do not favor his appointment as judge of tho division. To go further, we hope that the department of justice and the president, after due consid- eration, will be satisfied that he should not be selected for the judge ship.
 We believe that Judge Wicker sham is too old and that he is tenn peramentally not fitted for the po- silion the most important judgeship in Alaska

MT. Gore from his brother members of the legal profession. At a meet ing was present every member Of the Bar of Ketchikan except one, and those present were unanimous in urging his appointment.
 The Chronicle joins the attorneys IN TIE BELIEF THAT MIR. GORE IS THE MOST VALUABLE MAN IN THE TERRITORY FOR THE POSI- TON His selection by President Coolidge would be a happy solution of the problem"
 The best the Chronicle can offer as a soluti ,n of the problem is the appointment of Judge Wickersna,n as Historian of Alaska. Whenever the political dominants wish to get rid Cf a man who is dangerous tO their interests, they "shelve" him by getting him into a minor office and :hen forget him. They satisfy their own political ends and fool a gullible public at the same time.
 tho same position i, hel
 The Chronicle puts itso f in g most ridiculous position by declar- ing Wickersham unqualified for the office yet in the same breath sing the praises of Lester Gore. ....-.

OFFICIAL HISTORIAN
 FOR ALASKA From Ketchikan Chronicle

The work of Judge Wickershan in compiling his "Bibliography' points clearly to the desirability of having him made official historian of the Territoy of Alaska The Chronicle urges the next Territorial lesislature to create a position of official historian for Alaska and eX- presses the belief that Judge Wick ersham should be chosen for the po- siiion. For more than quarter of a century he has been gathering ma terial books, pamphlets, magazines, newspapers. articles in periodicals, which constitute a collection with re- ference to Alaska uneXcelled in tho world. Not only has he these works but he has digested mentally scores of them. Thus, he is more available for official historian than any other living person.
 A man we'll advanced in age, Judge Wickersham cannot be with uH for a great many years, as life is counted, and the Territory should not fail to avail itself of the oppor, tunity to obtain his services in the writing of a history of Alaska For him to undertake it privately would bt a great fianancal loss which he could not be expected to bear.
 We have some histories of Alaska. Bancroft, massive, pOnderOus and undressing work, is hard to read and more difficult to digest. We have also other lesser works on the history of Alaska, interesting but not sufficiently complete.
 How interesting Judge Wicker sham could make a history or Alas ka, going back even to give us the inner stories of the lives of Peter and Catherine of Russia, who were primarily responsible for the early explorations of the northland!
 Much money has been expended unworthy causes. The Cronicle sug by our legislatures for much more sests that the next legislature ere ate the position, temporary, of of ficial historian of Alaska, with Judge Wickersham to carry on the work.

PAINTING BOAT HULLs

The hulls of small boats are us-
 ralIy painted white but do not re- main white very long owing to the dirt in the water which coats the paint. This can, however, be pre- vented by using a paint consisting of white lead and turpentine instead of white lead and oil. White lead, which contains about 10 per cent of oil, is thoroughly mixed up with tur- pentine and is allowed to stand over night to permit the lead to settle: the turpentine absorbs about half of the oil contained in the white lead. It is then poured off, the re- sidue mixed with fresh turpentine, and the boat painted with it. As this paint dries quickly, several coats can be applied in a short time, thus up a thick coat As this paint lacks the necessary binding it washes off slowly expos ing fresh surface of paint, and as it has TO affinity for water, it does not become watersoaked. It does not blister or chip off, but gradually wastes away.

THEY TALK ABOUT PULP NILS

About election times the hide bound Tories declare with crocodile tears that the Progressive Republic ans fare soaring capital away then befool the public with promised pulp mills in Alaska-the Zeller- baks, the Camerons and what not.
 The pulp mills are coming-some day, when the forests of Canada ard the States have cut down pro- duction by virtue of depletion of their forests The move now in Alaska is for one purpose only-get available water power and to tie up for virtually nothing timber resourc- es that others might wish to cut i'm to.
 At the present time Eastern pub fishers are trying to form a collect i've buying organization. That with a falling market, it is the time to form such an organization rather later when present conditions have been removed.
 The price of newsprint has been
 held at the abnormal warprices of |1018. A break in prices has been |roming ne wmills have entered the field attracted by the margin of profit and production of old mills have been increased. A break in prices is worrying the producers. In Canada the newsprint industry is the. largest single industry in the Dominion. Capital is much alarmed over the situation there and are an xiors for standardization both of production and price.
 It was recently suggested in To- .onto that the mills operate under
 a dictator to save the industry from ut-throat competition" Canadi- an newsprint prices are below norm al; some mills have shut down anl some have cut down production. And Yet They Say Alaska Mills The rated capacity of Canadian newsprint mills is 8,652 tons day, and with new added equipment all ready planned and in process of in stalIation will add 1,2O5 tons more l by 1929. While the United States is decreasing it's production, New ifoundland and Mexico are adding to their output The total capacity of all mills in North America has reached 14,402 tons.
 The first five months of 1928 saw an average daily consumption of H. l O00 tons. Only a notable increase in advertising space will take care of and absorb production at present
 rate.
 With the newsprint situation in Canada Mexico and the States sup plying more than the market de- mands, with Europe adding with it's production, we wonder just where Alaska pulp mills come in and if mills of any capacity are developed what will it's effect be on the trade. Tn the meantime, bring on your
 pulp mills. Alaska is certainly wait ing for them and needs them.

CLEANING FILES

One of the best methods of clean il g files, whether fine or coarse, is to rub them with piece of coke. If the coke becomes full of grease when used on fine files, rub it on a rough file. This will make the coke clean again and the file will bs cleaned again.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING FOR ALASKAN NATIVES
 WILL BE EXTENDED

Facilities for industrial training in Alaska will be extended as rapid ly as funds will permit, the Bureau of Education, Department of the h. terior, has just announced. It is the policy of the bureau to give vOca- tlonal training in the territory in- stead of sending natives to the Unit ed States for such education, as was formerly done The full text of the statement follows:
 Until recently no systematic form of industrail education for Alaskan natives was provided within the ter ritory. Young Alaskans were sent tD the States for vocational training. Th4s policy did not prove satisfactory for the reason that after a stay in the States many of these boys and girls found it difficult to adapt them selves to their home environment. It was also deemed unwise and un- economic because the change of climate frequently was deleterious to their health.
 Policy Was Changed.
 To meet the foregoing situations the policy has been adopted of estab- fishing industrial schools within Alaska. Hence industria lschools nave been organized at Eklutn@. near Anchorage, on the Alaska Rail- road; at Kanakanak, on Bristol Bay and at White Mountain, on Seward of which are stra- tegic points. Eklutna, being near the Alaska Railroad, is readily access ible for pupils from the interior and from the Upper Yukon region; iU can also be easily reached from the set tlments on the southern coast. Ka- nakanak will be the center for voc atlonal training for the Aleuts and l for the EskimOs of southwestern Alaska. To the White Mountains will l come the Eskimos of the northwes- teln region as far north as Point ] Barrow.
 Included in the curriculum of l 5hese vocational schools are such in- 1 lustries as house building, carpentry, l boat building, furniture making, l sled construction, operation and re- ,o:r of gas engines, marine engine i er!ng, navigation, tanning, ivory ,arving, and basket weaving.
 Centuries of experience in the use ,f tools of their own contrivance has l l0FSIOpSu III IHo lldC1NG IdCCo nSS- lanical skill of high order. This ;k II enables them to carry out in -a,ious modern industries the in received in these vocation U schools With very little train ng the natives excel in. mechanical operations. They are especially lifted in ivory carving and basketry
 The three vocational schools in Alaska have proven such a success hat it is proposed to extend the fa- ilities for industrial training there
