VOTE THURSDAY ON
 LIQUOR TRANSFER
First Hoover Recommendation
 Given Right Of Way

Washington, Feb. 3 (P)-Prcsidcnt HoOver's first recommendation 10 congress to strengthen prohibition enforcement by placing the responsi- blllty on the attorney general will be taken up by the house Thursday.
 The measure to effect the transfer of the prohibition bureau from the treasury to the justice department was reported formally to the house today by it's expenditures committee.
 The committee report, which urg- rd carly passage of the measure, was accompanied by 6 minority re- port opposing provision that would hold the secretary of the treasury and the attorney general jointly re- sponsiblc for the making of regula- tions.
 To Give Bill Preference
 Acting upon the request of Chair man Williamson of the expenditures committee, the house rules commit tee decided to give the bill lcgisla- tive preference 10 expedite action. Three days, boginnins Thursday, were set aside for it's consideration with the view of q vote on Saturday.
 General debate will be limited to four hours. Then the measure will Go considered under procedure per hitting tho offering of amendments and the discussion of the proposed changes.
 Seven members Of the cXpendi- ures committee signed the minority report, 1t is over the provision of ancc of alcohol permits that q heat ance of alcohol pcrmts that q heat cd contest is expected as a number of members feel that tho treasury secretary should have nothing to do with prohibition enforcement.
 The minority group, headed by Representative Gasquc, of south Carolina, ranking democrat on the committee, declared in their report they did not approve of the joint authority flor the reason that no effective enforcement of the law can be obtained with two departments having joint authority 10 deal with any part thereof"
 dob Lies In Justice Department
 We firmly believe" the minority said, that the enforcement of the national prohibition laws and all matters relating thereto properly lies in the justice department. That this joint authority will promote friction and the assumption by one depart mont that the other will do all things necessary in connection with tho joint authority prescribed and will permit a continuation of the present law enforcement, Further it. will permit ono department to charge tNc other with responsibility for all resulting laXity Of enforce mont, and the public will not be able to hold either department re- sponsiblc.

Albany, x. r, Feb. 5. tP)-Shadas
 or carly Dutch traders may chuckla
 with satisfaction soon as ocnly going vessels again leave this city for distant ports.
 Less than q century ago, AlbaHl vas one of the principal scaporls on the western side Of the AtIantr, sending its own ships 10 the Indies Europe and even China.
 With the increased draft Of mod ern vessels it became impossible for many 10 make the 1G0-miIe trip from open sea up the Hudson riv r from New York, and in the last a9 years few ocean going ships haze been seen here. The historic Hud- son has been turned over to pas sfhgor steamers of shallow dra | and canal boats
 Now the new port of Albany tarthcst inland seaport of the United States is preparing to open it's docks to world shipping.
 Deepening of the Hudson for Q miles south of the city. d projcat authorized by the federal govcrn- nent in 1925, will be completed within a few months at a. cost Of $11.200.000.
 Keeping pace with the dredging of the river, the Albany port dis tilct composed Of the cities of AL bany and Rensselaer,. has con- structcd nearly q mile of concrete plers, extending along both sides of the river. Erection of terminal structures. including transit sheds. warehouses, cranes. rail ends anl storage warehouses for lumber anl grain will be started carly in the spring.
 Four largo railroads converge on Albany and these will have drc.t connections with tEc docks. As AL hany IS the eastern terminal of the New York state barge canal sy3- tenn, and is the center of q vast network of trunk highways, the new port is expected to have all the advantages of q natural conccp- lratlon of land and water transport facilities.
 The Hudson is q tidal arm of th2 Sra, at least as far as Albany. The tide has q daily rise here of aluo t fcur feet. and the difference in sal level at Governors Island, in New ! iork harbor, and Albany is only slightly more than one foot.
 The new depth provided in the upper Hudson. 27 feet in minimum low water will amount to at lcast Se feet at all stages of the tide. At that depth, nearly 90 per cont of Il! carsoc ships in the world cal navigate.
 Four years ago, federal engineers computed that the deepening of the Hudson would add more than 3U.- jto,o00 tons to the 100000 rivrr latfic annually. Economic benefits !pected from the new port have steadily increased since then win he growing demand of the midd.e e west for improved sea outlets.
 The new port will bring Great Lakes shipping 160 miles nearer he sea, Compared with Montreal, he great inland seaport of Canada. ocean going vessels leaving Albaay will have 10 travel only 1G0 miles O reach the open sea while frouI Montreal they must travel 1.U1o niles, @lo of which are through d ship canal
 The territory to bc most greatly }enctIted, directly or indirectly. ay he new port lies for the most pa,1 the midwest belt, west of tha \l)cGhcnlos and north Of Tcnnea- .cc. In that vast area lie C1cvclanJ, Detroit, Coln.nbus, St. Louis S'. 'auj, Kansas City, Chicago, MIl- Nauhcc and Denver.

1929 WAS GOOD
 ATPETERSBURC,
 SAYS ARCHIBALD
Fishermen and Fur Grow CTS of District Had
 Excellent Results

] Petersburg had a very prosper ous year in 1929 and looks forward to an even better one in 1880, ac- cording to c. M Archibald district ranger of the United States Forest Service, with headquarters there He is here. accompanied by Mrs Archibald, on official business, con- ferring with district officers.
 The halibut fleet at Petersburg had an excellent season in 1929, as was reflected by the annual report of the cold storage plant there. It paid an 8 per cent dividend re- tired another $10,000 of it's out standing bonds and paid interest on the remaining bonds. The fleet is now undergoing annual overhaul ing and getting ready to resume ! fishing when the season opens orl ! February 15.
 Fur farmers in the district are prosperous, MT. Archibald said. With mink prices boosted to $10o per animal, the growers are in fine shape. The ranches generally are having excellent results in breeding and raising the stock.
 The blue foa farmers of the dis trict last year found a new market in Norway and Sweden that proved highly profitable. Many breeding animals were exported to those countries. The average price per pair was $275 with tops at $500. All of the most suitable islands in the vicinity of Petersburg arc occu- pied by fox farmers, and practi- cally of the ranches arc in good f. nancial condition.
 \ Due to unusually cold weather and leaks in the dam at the muni- cipal water supply lake, Petersburg recently experienced an acute water shortage and power scarcity. Water was entirely cut off for general use for three days and transfer men sold water to consumers to tide over 1 the shortage. The shrimp plant closed down for three weeks, but iL is again in operation The situation has been remedied and conditions are back at normal.
 MT. and Mrs. Archibald will be here several days. They are guests at the Gastineau Hotel
