Action


 let me assure you that my stand would have to be the same re- gardless of what provision was made to eliminate the affairs of the Alaska College from the control of the board suggested. If the system of appointment of officials is, in principle, vicious, and there seems to be a general concensus of opinion that such is the case, why transfer the appointive power to a board of control? The only remedy for such a condition is to make the offices elective and give the power to the voters of the Ter Hitory, where it naturally be- longs. Nearly every member of the House, myself included. 1d- vocated such a move from the very opening of the session. This will put you straight on these matters In justice to myself, as we'll as to the other members of the Legislature, I trust that you will publish this letter in the next issue of the Alaska Fisherman.
 Very Truly Yours

A SINCERE OFFER

| COLONEL Robertson, in an ed
~ itorial on the Western States
Reclamation, makes the following
comment in the Yakima Republics:
"Once we knew a young matror
who, if she inadvertently dropped
the baby on the floor with result
ant injury to the youngsters feei-
ings, would grab the family fiy-
swatter and, making few passes
before his eyes, would say: John
nv, look at the pretty rattle!
Johnny would forget his troubles
and take a new order of business.
Hers was a Great Scheme. We are
reminded thus to renninisce by
Mamma Hoover's treatment OF the
Salt Lake demonstration. All the
reclamation boys gathered there
to air their grievances and do
something for irrigation, and the
old lady in the White House rat
tied in front of them nice little
jigger containing a possible gift of
the surface rights of government
lands, and they forget all about
what was the matter and went
home to talk about something
else. That's that, the president is
probably saying today"
Colonel Robertson doesn't seem
to be able to give anyone credit for
doing a sincere act without utter
ior motives. The offer made by
President Hover is the first of its
kind. 1t was made, we believe, in
a spirit of helpfulness, not as a
ruse to shunt reclamation on a
sidetrack. The president is a west
ern man, and has the welfare of
the West at heart. He is an en-
igineer. Of all the executives we
have had, with the exception Of
Roosevelt, Hoover is best fitted to
take an intelligent and directing
interest in irrigation problems.
The offer of government land may
not be accepted-it may not be
the wisest thing to debut at least
We can regard the offer as the real
expression of desire upon the
part of the president to do SOM
thing constructive for the West.

PROFITS AND SPRAYING

THE report that apple growers
4 in the Wenatchee district will
loose 100000 from damages
caused by worms, brings wildly
to mind conditions throughout the
Yakima valley. We seemed to have
waged a fairly successful battle
against the pests, but the cost OF
spraying has been enormous, eat
ing holes in the normal profits of
the orchard owners.
And yet the spraying has made
the difference between profits and
no profits. If it were not for the
spray used, the worms would have
their way and a wicked way it is,
too. r. Edward Trumble, Wenat-
chez horticulturists, states that a
number of the winter banana
crops picked in that section have
run from 40 to 70 per cent worms.
This years conditions have been
particularly favorable to worms,
since it was 65 days from the be-
ginning to the end of the first of
the brood hatch. Winds during the
spraying season also were mem
ace to better control. OF late years,
fear has been expressed, not only
by the lurid, pseudo-scientific mag
azine sections Of our Sunday pa
pers, but by sane people who have
made a study of the problem, that
the insect would gain dominance.
Each individual insect is laugh
able as an opponent to mankind,
but if we consider the harm done
by one malarial mosquito, and then
the hosts of mosquitoes which can
be bred in one season, we face
dangerous prospect.
Fruit has its worms, cotton its
boil weevil and wheat its grass
hoppers, and the farmer must
fight them. Science has come to
his aid with chemical sprays. But
this is costly. The ideal solution,
short of complete determination,
is to introduce parasites harmful
only to the pest. Natures methods
of control are much surer than
mans. Much of the insect damage
IN this country has been caused by
the introduction of foreign species
without its accompanying parasite
or foe. The frightful depredations
of the gypsy moth in New Eng
land are examples Of this
Scientists are working toward
this solution, but meanwhile, we
must keep on spraying.

COLLEEN MOORE IN
 COMEDY AT PALACE

Colleen Moore in Her Wild Oat'' now at the Palace, gives one of the most delightful comedy productions she has been seen in and the many scenes and incidentals to the fea- ture are most capably handled by the orchestra, giving a special score by Mae Pauly. The picture, opens on the Bowery in New York, and the Good Old Summer Time" the Sidewalks of New York, Sweet Rosie O'Grady," and other old time selections are played.
 Her Wild Dat" is all comedy. Colleen Moore is the owner of a lunch wagon that does business throughout the night. Then she wants to go to swell beach" and be surrounded by one-piece bath ing suit and a 35-piece orchestra" !" as She says. She goes as a Duchess arriving in an airplane, and then there is more comedy of new sort. Larry Kent is her leading man and the other members of the cast including Julanna Johnston, as the wild night-life girl are capably cast. The comedy is on for the last two times tonight.

but failed to return to the nor maj levels of recent years during subsequent weeks. At the same time brokers loans and stock prices rose to record heights.
 The call money renewal rate averaged about 7 per cent during January, in contrast to about 4 per cent during that month of 1928. Commercial paper rates ran from to 11a points above the pre- vious year.
 One of the first industries to show the effect of the high rates has been the building industry, which is largely financed through mortgages. This has led one large realty company to take advantage of the public favor for stocks by instituting a system of building financing through stock offerings.
 Brokers loans have been de tended in some quarters as a new means of financing industry. The nations experience with brokers loans, however, is comparatively new, and conservative bankers re- gard the headlong trend in this di- rection as incautious.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.--Lillian Rus sells hands were the soft and pam pered kind that characterize the indolent waster, but they belied their owner, who was industrious as well as artistic, according to Amy Leslie, Chicago theatrical critic.
 Miss Russell spent hours over her hands but put them to good use off the stage as well as on. Miss Les lie declared she painted muffin maker and pie baker. Miss Leslie has known most of the theatrical stars of the past four decades.
 Sophie Fuckers hands, careful ly groomed, are soft but strong, dimpled and pink, and never work outside the theatre" Miss Leslie says.
 "Calve, the opera singer, had dark, small, nervous and expressive hands, while Nellie Melba's hands were the large British type, normal and efficient. Madame Melba was an Austalian.
 Ethel Barrymore has emphatic hands not beautiful, but aristo- cratic and well cared for. Her brother, John, has the same hand, more muscular, and somewhat bet ter shaped. E. H. Sotherns hands are like Barrymore's."
