to prepare the plans. At later session of Congress, Wickersham had the approprition raised to S45e,000 for the building. Wicker sham and myself kept the Capitol building before Congress then and made it as hot as we dared to do and then the great war came on Then we stopped; we were for nothing but to win the war.
 Now, at least, I am informed tha. there is available funds for the construction amount to some $800,- 900. The plans have all been drawn, the ground examined and explored and the construction is about to begin. This will be highly gatifying to me when I see the thing started, as it has been a 20-year struggle for me and it is now, twenty years since I promised the people of Juneau and Gas tineau Channel a Capitol building sincerely hope that here will be no further hitches in the erection of the building.
 Respectfully yours,

Using Alaska Products.
Anchorage Times.)

The Federal Government is being urged by the Chambers of Commerce of Juneau and Anchorage to make of Alaska products in the construction of the new Capitol Building to be erected at Juneau. It has been discovered by Juneau that the contract calls for the of limestone and it is desired by that body to substitute Alaska marble wherever that material be used, thus giving employment to Alaska labor and support to an Alaska industry; and it has to the attention of the Anchorage Chamber that hard wood is to be imported from foreign land for the interior finishing, whereas Alaska birch would as well.
 It is unfortunate that these matters were not given consideration at the time the Government was be too late now to make the substitutions desired, but the effort is worth while. Whatever is done now will have effect at least of bringing to the attention of the Government the fact that Alaska can supply much of the material needed for con- struction purposes both in and out of Alaska and when contracts let for the next Federal Build ing, which probably will be erected at Fairbanks there will not be any excuse for failure to specify the use of Territorial products.
 Official Washington should know better than Alaskans themselves, what the Territory capable Of producing in the way of building material and it should insist the use of Alaska products wherever practicable of stimulating Territorial development Especially should Alaska products be given preference those imported from foreign lands.
 In the meantime Alaskans should set the example by making more extensive use of Alaska products in their private and community building activities Those communities which can supply materials for building or other uses should set about informing all other communities and every department at Washington should be frequently reminded of de- velopments in the Territory that eventually every deparment head and every clerk at the National Capital will know that Alaska has resources which can be drawn upon for many Government reoure- ments
 There is the assurance that Alaska will receive lot of help from the present Administration but Alaskans should not sit back idly waiting for assist ance Much good undoubtedly will result from the action taken by the Juneau and Anchorage Cham bers and it is to be hoped that there will be a general movement along that line throughout the Territory.

Britannia Rules the Turtles.
(New York Times.)

The worst fears of sturdy patriots who foresaw remuneration of the United States by Great Brit ain at last being realized. Our State De- partment is partner in the plot, and treaty is being drawn up which will precedent Great Britain is to rule the southernmost of the Philippine Islands, which were ceded to the United States in 1899 by Spain.
 Presumably the authorities at Washington thought that Americans sufficiently vague about the whereabouts of the Philippine Islands not to real ize what happening. But the very remote ness of the group which King George is to police is proof of the dangerous subtlety of his agents It is an accepted principle of Imperialism to begin by sezing distant places which are apparently oi no concern to any one.
 These islands-the so-called Turtles-are direct ly opposite the mouth of the harbor of Sandakan in British North Borneo, and inhabited by two or three hundred fisherfolk from Borneo. They arc remote from the rest of the Philippines It happens that they have been under British administration for the last half century. Under the new treaty the British will continue to control them, but the United States will retain title Surely such part nership is sufficiently iniqutous to be major issue in New York Chicago Mayoralty cam. paign

ALASKA NEEDS AERIAL TRANS
 FORMATION.

There can be no successful questioning the statements made by Col. Conrad H. Mann Presi- dent of the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce; Tom Watts member of the St. Louis Board of Aldermen; Joseph Slater, St. Louis City Engineer and Robert J. Sommers, Territorial Highway En- gineer that one of the greatest needs of Alaska is aerial navigation and that airports are neces- sity in the development of such transportation The Alaska Interior discovered sometime ago the great service of aerial navigation and Southeast Alaska has discovered it this year.
 And this is reminder that there should be a united effort in all parts of Alaska to induce the Government to inaugurate aerial mail service throughout the Territory That would do lot to promote aerial transportation nsurng regular routes for commercial purposes as well as adding i'm mensely to the number and quickness of mail deliveries.

MT. Hoover on Prisons.

MT Hoover has announced that he will ask Con- gress to appropriate $5O00000 for the enlargement of penitentiaries As Federal expenditures go this is not a large sum, but it should go a long way to relieve state of affairs that have become in- tolerable. And it may have its influence in the States. Since it is sponsored by MT Hoover, who has become since his inauguration the leader o1 the movement to reduce crime it may spur the various Legislatures to make appropriations too so that the State pententiaries may be improved as well as the Federal Let us hope so Wher control is feeble and morale desperate that we can have three serious riots within the course of few days it shows that the situation is critca and that something must be done

CANADIAN INTEREST IN ALASKA
 ROAD.

At least there is a live interest in British O. lumbia in the proposed road from the States tC Alaska through that Province Premier s. F. Tolmie head of the British Columbia Provincial Govern ment is committed to the road, and so is the Van couver Province, the largest and most influentia paper in the Province The Province the Prince Ruper News and other Canadian papers already dis cussing the proper route for the road. The Prince Rupert paper contains the following editorial oi the subject quoting the Province and commenting upon the matter:
 The Vancouver Province publishes an edi
 toria article commenting the proposal to build a highway to the Alaska boundary, but qualities it somewhat by saying:
 "Of course there is more than one Alaska. There is the Panhandle, which shuts off good stretch of Northern British Columbia from the coast, and there is the great ter ritory farther north. Premier Tolmie has not indicated to which he proposes building his road. The Panhandle is much nearer It is not great many miles from Prince Rupert, and only step from Stewart and to both these cities the road system of the Prov ince will have to be extended within the next few years But the Panhandle is a country through which it would be difficult, or impossible to construct highway meeting with the rest of Alaska. On the other hand, highway to the greater Alaska of the North would have to be very 1nuCn longer, WOuld cost millions more, and would have to pass through the Yukon"
 Prince Rupert is probably the nearest point to Ketchikan. Cars coming here could eaily be shipped to that city but could not go any farther because Ketchkan is on an island
 highway to Stewart would connect with Alaska at Hyder, but from there it could not very easily get into the heart of the Terri tory
 To get to the Northern part of the Ter ritory it would have to go through Atln
 very thorough investigation will have to be made and the Province will have to be assured that the highway is feasible one before it can be carried through to connect up with the Territory of Alaska
 It would be chiefly tourist drive Mo- where on that route could be found finer scenery than along the Skeena River to Prince Rupert therefore the first thing to do Is to connect with Prince Rupert
 Let The Empire suggest that the Canadian roa ought to tap the Atlin country and proceed to tn International Boundary near the headwaters of tn White, Tanana and other rivers between the poin where the Yukon enters Alaska and the Coas Mountains That is, it ought to follow the valley between the Coast Mountains and the Rockies north ward through British Columbia Then there ough to be branches connecting important Coast point. like Prince Rupert Portland Canal ports, etc, ii British Columbia, Hyder, Juneau Skagway Wran gel, etc, in Southeast Alaska From Juneau road could connect with such a highway by building u the Taku River Valley and via Skagway giving |, a loop road that would open vast tracts of countr of wonderful richness and unsurpassed sceni grandeur in both Alaska and Canada.
