Juneau Chamber of Commerce
 Takes Action

At the meeting of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce last Friday, George F. Weisel, representing the Juneau Lumber Mills, urged the im- portance to Juneau of the repeal of the discriminatory clause in the Fed eral Marine Act of 1920, known as the Jones Act. He said it is not pos sible for the Alaska sawmills to meet Puget Sound competition in eastern markets under existing conditions. claiming that the Juneau mill was handicapped more than s14 per thousand feet on spruce by the time 1t was loaded on cars at Seattle for the east. He said if it were possible for shipments to be loaded on Cana dian bottoms in Alaska and trans ported through Minneapolis and St Paul via Prince Rupert, the local mill could compete on an equal basis with the Sound plants. It would enable Alaskan mills to build up an important box manufacturing busi- ness out of material now wasted and give profitable employment to local labor from nine to eleven months each year.
 Following the address by Mir. Wei sel the Juneau Chamber of Commerce ordered the following cabIegram sent to Delegate Sutherland:

Hooper's ideas on Alaska were the ideas and wishes of nearly all Alas kans. There were four representa- tives of Ketchikan interests, in the persons of Messrs. Bugge, Schlothan. Paup and Hurley. Those were all Alaska had to uphold her interests and her great desire to win prosper ity for Natives and all ak
 Hooper on Resolutions Committee
 Fortunately, Alaska and Hawaii were given a place upon the "Reso- lutions Committee" into which all matters had to pass and be approved before the main convention would hear of it. MT. Hooper was the sole Alaskan placed on that most impor- tant committee, and found in it sev- eral persons that he had, in his 30 years as a publisher, been directly and indirectly interested in and had known years ago. Two of these were Robert Dollar, the worlds greatest shipowner, a former Canadian and a lumberman in his early years. Hooper met Dollar at DOllaryille, a frontier lumber camp in northern Michigan, about 35 years ago. when Dollar had a Jim Crow" Gone circu- lar saw sawmill, and one two-mast- ed schooner. Hooper was then on the staff of the American Lumber man" of Chicago. engaged in writing up the Michigan and Wisconsin lum- Der camps. They had a heart to heart talk. Another parsonage that Hooper knew was Major Everett G. Griggs, director of the U. S. National Chambers of Commerce, and presi- dent of the St. Paul & Tacoma Lum- Der Co. of Tacoma, Washington.
 Hooper Introduces Resolution
 Before the Resolutions Committee MT Hooper brought, at the request of the Wrangell Commercial Club, a resolution calling for an amendment to the Jones Shipping Act by having the two words Except Alaska ' stricken from the law.
 The crux of the whole matter was plainly shown by Hooper when he submitted to the astonished delegates that under the present law shipments originating in the United States could be hauled from Prince Rupert or Vancouver to Seattle in Canadian bottoms, but Canadian bottoms can not be used out of Canadian ports when shipments originating in the

NUMBER OF INSANE FROM
 NORTH STEADILY DECREASING

During the past two years there has been decrease of approximately 37 per cent in the number of insane per sons sent from Alaska to the sani- tarium tMorningside, Portland, Ore gon, where such unfortunates are cared for, according to official statis- tics prepared at the Governors office n Juneau.
 In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1926, there were 55 commitments to the sanitarium from Alaska. During the past fiscal year, which ended June 30, last, there were 34. Virtually all of the decrease was accounted for in the First and Third divisions, it was said
 Health inspections made by United States public health authorities in the States, and greater care taken by sal mon packers in the scalibre of labor employed by them in the south, are believed by Governor George A. Parks to be the main factors in the improve ment shown.
 During the past two years, under agreement with the Territorial health department, physicians of the public health service have made physical ex- aminations of cannery employees hired in the States for work in Alaska dur ing the salmon packing season. This has not only weeded out the physical ly defective and diseased, but it has, it is said, resulted in the employment bureaus of the companies a higher average class of workmen
 The fact that the decrease in the total number of insane patients was entirely in the First and Third divi- sions, where the fishing industry is centered, it is pointed out, supports the theory advanced for the improved showing.

Barclay Warburton, the new mayor of Palm Beach, told story at the Everglades Club.
 Its astonishing he said, Chow many New England farmers leave their ice-ribbed farms in the winter and come to Palm Beach to enjoy themselves. We must see to it that they get plenty of enjoyment.
 Some farmers were chewing to- bacco round stove in New England livery stable.
 " 50 Abner Moss has gone to Palm Beach, said a farmer with grey whiskers. Wonder if that'll be enough goin' on down that to satisfy him?'
