Gross's 8 business, the Pioneers Home at Sit ka is his hobby. Last year he fur nished programs free of charge to the eight picture houses of his circuit, the proceeds of which were used as a Christmas gift to the inmates of the Pioneers Home. In addition to the proceeds from the shows, business men of Juneau made liberal contri- buttons, various church and other organizations in southeastern AL aska donated money so that each of the 105 old pioneers in the Home found an envelope beside his plate when he sat down to Christmas din- ner, containing $15.25, which was pocket money to spend as he chose.

COMMUNICATION FROM CHAS. BENJAMIN
Editor Sentinel

Editor Sentinel
 Ip recent issue of the Ketchikan Chronicle was an article that stated positively that Senate Bill No. was defeated in the last session of the Territorial Legislature, principally by my opposition.
 It said that the bill passed in the Senate and was sent to the House where 1t went into my committee, and was held there until the last day of the session, when 1t was brought Up and amended so as to destroy its usefulness, and rejected by the House.
 This was followed by statement insinuating that I was influenced in this by the cannery lobbyists.
 This bill was passed by the Senate and sent to the House on the forty fifth day. The statement that it was referred to my committee was not true. It was referred to another com mittee and reported back to the House two days before the session ended.
 It met strong opposition from Lo- men and Scott. I insisted on one amendment. The bill required can neries dumping all refuse two miles or more from an incorporated town This would compel the A.P.A. can nery, which has operated for many years without complaint. to put its refuse on a scow and haul it another mile from town, a useless expense. This was changed by amendment. When it came to a vote voted for 1t, and so did all my friends except Ben Grier who failed to vote with us. and the bill was lost by a tie vote.
 The whole statement is absolutely false. The author having evidently failed to follow the course of his own bill through the House, and being so bitterly prejudiced by his defeat in the primaries as to have apparent ly IoSI HIS SeuSe ol hohOi ahu JuSIiSS'
 That his contemptible slur was unjustified is shown by the fact that in every case when a vote was taken my vote was as far from the cannery desires as it could be. I regret this, too, as I am no enemy of the canner- ies, desiring to give them every pos sible encouragement to which they are justly entitled, which is the way I feel about every industry in the Territory But my first concern is for the people who live here, and so far, it seems to me, they are most in need of protection.
