FARM RELIEF LEGISLATION
 FIGHT IS ON
Controversy Is Raging at Capitol Hoover May
 Have to Take Hand

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Presi- dent-elect Hoover may be called upon to take hand in the contro- versy raging at the Capitol as to whether Farm Reief will be dis posed of at the approaching short session or await the leisure of an extra session.
 MT. Hoover promised returning from his South American Sour probably in January, it appears likely that he will find himself in this unique position, and while Coolidge is still President.
 Coolidge Up In Air
 From the White House today came word that the President has been unable to decide what the majority of opinion is from the wrangling Congressman.
 The President feels that an agreement on the farm bill D. members of Congress and ether interested in that legislation Is tn first prerequisite to immediate ac- tion.
 Views of Leaders
 Congressional leaders feel that Hoover should indicate his views on the modified relief measure, drafted by Chairman McNary, of the Senate Agricultural Committed before any serious attempt is made to capture time in the short ses- sion. Farm Relief is also involved in the tariff revision problem and there seems to be general unanim- ity that there should be tariff re- vision but there are those who want the emergency tariff aci passed at the short sessions. 9th CTS feel it should be taken up al an extra session next Spring.

FOUR BOATS IN SEARCH

No report of locating the miss ing halibut boats Brunvol and I'm perial had been received up to late hour today. Collector Of Customs J. c. Mcbride received 8 message from Ketchikan stating that the salvage tug Akutan had left there to assist the three boats that are now combing the waters and shore line where the missing schooners were last seen.
 While 1t is possible that one or both of the boats may be lying disabled in one of the many small coves along the coast, it is feared that they were swamped by the heavy storm that ragged in the Gull about November 15.
 Col. Mcbride stated that on sev- eral occasions boats had been re- ported missing along the Gull coast, no word being received from them for two or three weeks and they were later located in some out-of-the-way shelter, broke down, which goes to show" ht said, that there is still a grea chance that the Brunvol and I'm perial are safe"
 The Coast Guard cutter Unalgf and the small cutter Cygan iron Ketchikan, as well as the schooner Senator, are still conducting tho search. The Akutan that left Ket chikan last night, should reach thu vicinity sometime Saturday.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.=A lot- ter from the Kings physi- elan, Lord Dawson, was sub mitted to the Cabinet this morning and ordered pub lished. The letter said his Majesty is suffering from inflammation and congestion of the right lung with ex- tensive plastic pleurisy on the right side. There must be anxiety, the letter said, due to infection which nat urally must be serious. The condition of one lung, how ever, is somewhat improved.
 The letter pointed out that the Kings strength has been maintained.
 Lord Dawson stated that the Kings illness thus far is being controlled and it's force lessened and he hoped dura- tion will be curtailed.

1. A survey by the Internation- al Halibut Commission. or the Bu- reau of Fisheries, ito determine the extent and location of unexplored halibut fishing grounds in the Der ing Sea, along the Alaska Penin- sula and in the vicinity of the Aleutian Islands. This is neces- sary because of the depletion of the known sources of supply in Southeastern Alaska and British Columbia, and the probability that some of these areas may be closed in the near future.
 2. An investigation of the Blu reau of Fisheries to ascertain the condition of the herring fisheries This should be completed as soon as possible so that. if necessary further acticn may be taken tC prevent the depletion Of the sup ply of these fish. The controver- sies which arise each year between the proponents of various theories concerning the herring, it's use and the danger of it's extermina. ton, cannot be definitely settled until accurate data is available.
 8. investigation by the Terri torial agencies discloses that pre-. datory animals, chiefly coyotes anf wolves, are destroying wild game and migratory birds and have be, come a real menace. Immediate action is necessary and the Terri
 tory cannot undertake the con trol without Federal aid. The Federal Government should con. tribute funds to supplement Terri. torial appropriations and to bt expended by the Territory in al

effort to exterminate the predatory animals.
 4. The contract system for the care of the insane from Alaska should be abolished and they should be cared for in a Govern ment institution.
 5. The appropriations for the Bureau of Education are not sui. ficient to enable that organization to provide necessary facilities, edu- cational, vocational and medical for all of the natives. An in dustrial school in Southeastern Alaska is necessary and increased appropriations should be made for new schools in many other sec tions.
 l 6. In many sections of the Ter ritory the transportation facilities are far ahead of the system O. communication. The United States Signal Corps should be given ad- ditional funds so that they can establish stations at strategic points.
 [. Aviation has advanced tc a point where supervision of per sonnel and equipment is essentla to safeguard public interests. The regulations of the Department oi Commerce should be enforced in the Territory by competent inspec- | tors.
 ! 8. The present policy of sending 1 incorrigible native children out O. the Territory is of doubtful wis
 dom. It would be much bette: [ to establish a detention home in | Alaska where these cases may be disciplined in the vicinity of theii

Graphic Syndicate Photo

FRIEDRICHSHAFsN, Nov. 2S. While the merits and draw backs of the Zeppelin are being discussed. he Dornier Construc- tion Works on Lake Constance, affiliated with the Zeppelin Works, is quietly constructing a superplane for transatlantic service.
 For months construction of the giant plane has been going on in all secrecy of wartime at the shops on the Swiss side of the lake from which all visitors have been barred
 The new plane Is Of revolu- tionary type with which it Is hoped to solve the question of whether airships or airplanes will be the transoceanic conveyance of the future.
 Like Ship
 The body of the plane is sub stantially constructed like ship to fit the weather of the most tempestous ocean waves when it may be found necessary to go down to the water.
 It is built with massive walls and the interior is divided into series of water tight bulkheads to prevent the entire ship from being flooded in case water Is shipped.
 Hull Has Keel The hull is furnished with a keel to steady the ship in a high j sea. The span of the wings measures 164 feet. Twelve motors are arranged fl tandem fashion, six front and si1 behind the wings and will suppl, 6,0OO horsepower motor energy.
 There will be room for 50 pas. sengers and 20 tons of freight With full cargo. the vessel vii carry a weight of 45 tons.
 The maximum speed will bt i 11S miles an hour with a flying radius of 1860 miles. There will be salon larger than on Zeppelin.
 The plane is being built fol the German Luft Hansa and i intended for service across thu South Atlantic.

expected. To meet this situation and provide for the required es- exponent to the spawning grounds, 1t was necessary to restrict the fishing in many districts. The inevitable result was a large reduc- tion in the number of fish caught as compared with the preceding three years, although one note- worthy feature was that the catch of humpback salmon was larger than for any year since prior to 1924 t *
 While the 1927 fishing season as a whole was a grevious disap- pointment, it is encouraging to note that the production for the early part of 1928 indicates that the catch for this year will ex- ceed all expectations, and there is every reason to believe that the present policy of the Bureau of Fisheries is sound and will result in the perpetuation of the salmon flsheries.''
 The Governor reviewed condi- tions in the several branches of the fisheries industry, including mild curing, fresh fish, herring, halibut, cod fishing, whaling, shell fish and seals.
 Pulp Development Progressing Notable progress is being made toward developing a pulp and pa per making industry in Alaska said the Governors report: "The outlook for an early development of the pulp and paper industry snever has been more encouraging The companies to whom were awarded timber contracts have been engaged in making investiga. tions of the projects and the work is progressing most satisfactorily Early construction of hydroelec. tric plants is anticipated. The estimates of the engineers in the Department of Agriculture indi. cate that the forests of Alasks may be made to produce 1900, ,OOt tons of newsprint annually in per petuity and that there are avail able more than 50O,O00 undevelopet horsepower within easy reach O the timber supply. The wise utii zation of these resources is as sured and within the next fou years the manufacture of pape will take its place as one of tn, major industries of the Territory.
 New Capitol Building

 "The authorization for a ney Capitol building in Juneau and tn, appropriation of funds for its con struction by the last Congress as sures the Territory of mucl needed improvement. When th 
 building is completed, it will af ford housing facilities for all 0 the Federal and many of the Ter lritoria1 offices which now occup rented quarters. The Territoria Legislature will have adequate ia cilities for it's sessions instead o meeting in improvised quarter as 1t has in the past"

For more than "A years the in sane from Alaska have been cared l for in Morningside Hospital near Portland, Oregon. The sanitarium contracts to care for the patients for $52 per month. For many years efforts have been made tc eliminate the contract system. The Territorial Legislature has memor- 1 ialized Congress on several occa- sions and two years ago, the Sec retary of Interior submitted re- port on the subject, but as yet no action has been taken by Congress. It is hoped that this matter will receive the attention of Congress this year and that arrangements will be made to provide Govern ment institution to care for the unfortunates who are committed from Alaska"
 Roads and Trails
 The importance of roads and trails in the development of the Teriftory's resources is again em- phasized. The Governor notes the work done by the Alaska Road l Commission and the United States Bureau of Public Roads, and de- clares that both perform services of unusual value to the Territory.
 He added: Funds appropriated by the Territory for roads and l trails are allotted to the several projects by the Territorial Road i Commission and expended under cooperative agreement with the
 Federal agencies. Because it is
 possible to use the Federal organi-
 zatcns in the construction of the projects, the Territory is not re- quired to expend large amount of it's funds for overhead and
 there is no duplication of organiza- Ition."
 l Mining Low Reached
 I The mineral production of the
 Territory since 1880 aggregates $5S5, ,374,O0O, 62 per cent of which Twas from gold mines, said tho Governor. Most of the yield came from placer mines. The output increased annually until 1916 ant following that year it has declined This situation was accounted fol : in part by the exhaustion of knowr high grade pacer ground and thu
 lower selling prices of minera products. Recent developmenti for working vast areas of low
 grade placer areas with moderl
 machinery promises to bring abou 1 a new era in gold mining, said thu
 report. adding: There is ever. treason to believe that the produc 7 tion of gold from these source , will increase the annual production very materially. and it is likel. : that the low point has beel l reached in the mineral output il 3 the Territory"
 Last years mineral production f was valued at s14,404,000 as com pared with $17,664,S0O for the pre- 7 ceding year. Gold decreased iron l $6.7O7, ,0O0 in 1926 to $5.927 ,000 il
 1927. while the value of corpe f mined decreased from $9.4S9,000 i s 1926 to $7.250,000 in 1927. Col
 from lode mines increased. Nor
 than 90 per cent of the latte f yield came from Southeaster 3 Alaska, the largest operating prop : erty being the Alaska Juneau Col i, Mining company of this city.

OMAHA. April 7. (P)-Taking his pleas for adequate but "a peaceful neutral navy into the heart of Ameri- ca, Secretary Wilbur declared here an uninterrupted continuance of overseas commerce was vital to the prosperity of not only the sea coast states but to every citizen in the country.
 Wilbur said an organized system of propaganda against national defense, particularly against the first line de- fense of the navy, was prompted by the President in his last message to Congress in which he said"We would provide for our needs regardless of prOpagandists for or against an ade- quate navy. Wilbur urged a calm, persistent, determined and unosten- tatious construction of fleet which will not only protect the nation but be a source of comfort to all weak nations seeking peace.
