PUBLISHERS
 ANNOUNCEMENT

Following the rule in force in all daily newspaper offices throughout the coun- try and the custom with most of the newspapers of Alaska. The Empire will re- quire, beginning May 1, that all subscriptions must be paid in advance. The need for this rule is obvious. So many people, particularly in Alaska, change their address es so often, that the loss from the credit system is too large to- be consistent with good business. The only way to meet the situation is to make the payment in ad- vance rule apply to every body. So there will be no exceptions.
 The management has had this matter under considera- ton for a long time, and decision il the result of ma ture deliberation. Publishers everywhere have found that the only satisfactory manner of handling newspaper cir culation is to require pay ment in advance.
 So. beginning Nay 1, sub scriptions to Tho Empire must be paid in advance.

RED|NCTON TO SPEND SUMMER
 IN TERRITORY
Chief of Biological Survey to Cover Entire Terri
 tory, Terhune Says

Paul c. Redington. Chief of the U. s. Biological Survey, will GOV CT virtually the entire Territory this summer, visiting coastal re- gions as far as Nome and many interior districts, it was announc. ed today by H. W., Terhune. Alas ka agent for the Survey and Ad- ministrative Officer of the Alaska Game Commission. MT. Reding- ton will arrive here about May 8 and plans to remain in the Terri tory until midAugust.
 MT. Terhune, who returned Tuesday from his annual trip to Washington, said every recon mendation made by the Alaska Game Commission, regarding reg ulations for game and fur-bearing animals, was approved by the Sec retary of Agriculture. These reg ulations, which become effective next summer, will be ready for distribution in short time.
 Suggested amendments to the Alaska Game Law had met with slow progress in Congress, MT. Terhune said. It was possible that no new legislation will be enacted although 1t was hoped that some of the bills introduced might be reached before adjourn ment.
 - Plans for Trip
 Regarding MT. Redington's trip, MT. Terhune said he would arrive in Seattle May 3, accompanied by Harry Whitney and John Scully, noted eastern sportsmen who are enroute to the Alaska Peninsula for a bear hunt. MT. Whitney has done much big game hunting in the Rocky Mountain country and in 1908 accompanied Commo- dore Peary to the Arctic where he spent year hunting musk oxen and other game.
 MT. Redington will leave Seattle May and will be met at Wran- gell by MT. Terhune with the pa- trol boat Sea Otter. They will visit Petersburg and other locali- ties enroute here. They will leave here about May 15 and proceed to western Alaska. At Seward they will board the Seal and cruise westward as far as Akutan where they will board the Victoria for Nome. From Nome they will cover interior points and return here about August IS.
 Discuss Local Conditions
 MT. Terhune was absent from his headquarters here 60 days, most of which time was spent in Washington comforting with off cials of the Biological Survey rel ative to Alaska game and fur bearing animal conditions. While there the Survey, which in the past has issued directly trapping permits for Unimak Island in the Aleutian Islands reserve, delegat- ed that duty to the Alaska Game Commission. The Commission al- ready issued trapping licenses to other Alaskan areas
 Other changes in administration were discussed but action on them was held in abeyance pending MT. Redington's visit this summer.

 Enough to Win

NEW YORK, April 2S.-The New York Democratic State Cen tral Committee which has charge of the campaign for the nomina- tion of Gov. Alfred E. Smith in a statement issued today said that, eliminating all doubtful delegates and those delegations yet to be selected where there is the slightest doubt of the out come, Gov.

Smith will be successful there. If so it will give the Governor more than 800 of the HOO delegates after the favorite son voting shall cease.
