SENATE MEMORIAL
 ACCUSES GOVERNOR
 POLITICAL ACTIVITY

A Senate memorial attacking Governor George A. Parks on the score of alleged political activity and powerful opposit- ion" to the passage of the Con- troller Bill, was the sensation of the past week in the Alaska Legislature and provided an unexpected aftermath to the recent rejection of the Con- troller and Board of Control provisions of the bill by the lower house. :.
 The memorial, sponsored by the senate majority, consisting of Senators Steel, Anderson, Benjamin, Frame and Sund- Quist, openly charges that Gov ernor Parks "has been active in opposition to attempts to se- cure to the people of Alaska that voice in their local gov erment to which they are en- titled under the Organic Act" and that by reason of his al- legged political activity and powerful opposition" it is im- possible at this time' the mem- orialists think" to secure any favorable action of the legis- lature on the bill as amended by the House, Cor any favor- able action on any legislation to cure the void laws creating. the various Territorial Boards, when the offices are filled, by Federal officials in violation of Section II of the Organic Act"
 The measure also charges that ''the influence of other federal officials against" the Senate bill further prevents favorable consideration by the legislature.
 In conclusion the memorial prays Congress to enact a law, granting the people of Alaska power to create an American form of Territorial government in Alaska without domination and control by appointed of ficials."
 Lack of space prevents pub lication of the memorial in these columns but a copy re- ceived from Senator Steel may be seen at the Herald office by all who are interested.
 With approximately 100 of the total 192 bills introduced still awaiting action eight days prior to the close of the ses- sion, the latest reports indicate a strong probability that many measures will be left unacted upon.

 LIGHT SERVICE IS \. NOW COMPLETED

fOrmaI transfer 0f the local light and power service of the International Electric Con- pany, Limited of Stewart, and the International Electric Com pany, Incorporated, of Hyder, to the Northern British Colum- bia Power Company and the Tongass Power and Light Com pany both subsidiaries of the Power Corporation of Canada, was effected at meeting of representatives of the several corporations held in Hyder Tuesday. The purchasing in- terests were represented by MT. w. H. Stevens, Vancouver financier, who arrived from the south Monday to close the deal.
 Under, the terms of the trans fer the Northern B. c. Power Company will operate the Stewart plant, and also the re- gently purchased municipal power plant at Prince Rupert, while the Hyder plant will be operated by the Tongass Pow CT and Light Co.,, a revival of the old company of the same name, organized some years ago by the Hall interests.
 The latter company is an Alaskan corporation, although the Canadian Power Corporat- ion holds a controlling inter- est therein, as is also the situ- ation with respect to the Northern B. c. Company.
 The purchase involves all the physical assets of the Internat- ional Companies on both sides of the boundary line, but does not effect the. stock of either corporation.
 The purchase price is said to have been in the neighborhood of. $25,OOO in cash.
 Directors. of the Alaska con- pany include MT. Stevens, J. J. Little, electrical engineer, of Prince Rupert; Alex. H. Doug las, barrister of Vancouver; Wm. D. Smith, engineer in charge of both the Hyder and Stewart plants, and Ernest Blue, Hyder attorney. Mir. Stevens is president of the Company, MT. Douglas is vice. president, MT.

Regarding the proposed Amer ican Creek plant, MT. Stevens said that no announcements could be made. pending com- pletion of the report of the en- gineers who recently surveyed the project.

RIVER PROTECTION HEARING GIVES HOPE
 FOR FEDERAL AID

Early Congressional hearing of Hyder's long maintained plea for permanent protection against Salmon River floods is presaged in the arrival here Thursday evening of Major D. H. Gillette, assistant district engineer of the United States Engineer Office at Juneau and Engineer Officer of the Alas ka Road Commission, to make an investigation of the flood situation. Maj. Gillette arrived on one of the vessels of the coast guard fleet without pre- liminary announcement and was accompanied by Lieuten- ant J. H. Christiansen, also of the war department engineer ing staff.
 Following an extended in vestigation along the river by Major Gillette and his assist ant Friday, a public meeting was held in Chamber of Com merce Hall Friday evening to enable the visiting officers to learn the views of local resi- dents regarding what is necess- ary to be done to provide the desired flood protection and also to secure data relating to local commerce and industry, which will be embodied in a report to the Congressional Flood Control committee.
 The meeting convened at 8 p. m. and U. s. Commissioner A. w. Fox was elected chairman. After outlining objects of the meeting, Judge Fox invited re- marks on the subject and a number or representative citi- zens presented their views on the river question and urged the need for protection if a disastrous flood is to be avoid ed. The remarks of the speak CTS were stenographically re- ported by Mrs. O. F. Hill for incorporation in Major Gill ette's report.
 Major Gillette informed the gathering that his survey was not in any way connected with the recent Territorial approp- riation for temporary defense against the river, and was en- tirely a federal project auth orized by Congressional en- actment. He said, however, that it was possible that the Alaska Road Commission may be called upon to recommend and possibly install engineer ing works within the limits of the appropriation, although it might be done by the Bureau of Public Roads or the Terri torial Road Commission. Major Gillette said that from the en- gineering standpoint and in view of the limited funds in sight, the protection question presented two alternatives, namely, protection against nor nal high water or protection against extreme high water. Permanent protection could not be provided without the expenditure of a large sum, he said and mentioned $80,00C as an approximate figure. It is hard to tell whether congress would grant such a sum, he continued, and it would seen advisable in such circumstance for the citizens of Hyder to em ploy the legislative appropri ation to securing the most ad vantageous temporary protect ion possible.

Experiments have proved that no bad
effects are obtained if alfalfa hay is
not fed in excessive amounts. Not
more than one and one-fourth pounds
of alfalfa per one hundred pounds
live weight should be fed, and even
that amount may be too much for
some horses.
Many farmers report that they
have obtained best results when they
replaced about one-half of te usual
ration of timothy or prairie hay with
alfalfa hay. This method is to be
recommended to beginners or when
the second or third cuttings of alfal-
ia are fed.

men an ideo of the work carried on.
Mr.. Gedds of the Diary Extension

of good feeding and better breeding
of dairy cattle.
When everyone was warmed up by
the spirit of the meeting ice cream

These herds included 218 cows the

ALFALFA HAY MAKES
FINE FEED FOR HORSES

Alfalfa hay is an excellent rough
age for horses, being more palatable
than timothy or prairie hay and
richer in protein and lime. For those
reasons, it is particularly valuable
for balancing grain rations that are
poor in those respects, such as corn,
says A. L. Harvey, horse expert of
the animal husbandry division, Uni

Many horse owners do not use al
falfa at all for their work horses,
