NO TIME FOR OFFICIAL

Attorney General Rustgard has plenty of time to attend to his particular business of play ing politics, but wrer l.o has a Territorial case up lefOre the Circuit Court of Appeals, as he had in early February, time is too precious to take away from his campaigning to go to San Francisco to attend to his off, cial business. Ordinarily John dotes on these trips outside to San Francisco and Washington, when his expenses are paid, but at present he has too much busi- ness at home trying to desert the position that the people
 elected him to in order that he might draw a larger salary from the government. He is a very high h-minded-or should we say high -Winded-public official.

II believe that the people ol Alaska, when entitled to litigate any questions in dispute with any of the departments at Washington, should be authoriz- ed to institute the legal pro- ceedings for that purpose in the courts instead of being compeIl- ed, as now, to go to the Capital to do so. The present order is tantamount to a denial of the right to submit such disputes to the courts and tends to encour- age autocratic attitudes by the various bureaus.
 Tn consonance with this view ' also believe that the War De- partment should be relieved of the burden of adjudicating pri- vate rights to the water front or to navigable waters, function which does not belong to it, but which the peculiar conditions prevailing in Alaska have forced it to assume.
 LEASES FOR TRAPS .."I also believe that owners of fish traps and trap sites should be protected in such ownership against all interference except by the Government, and to that end should receive leases for their trap sites for fixed period, subject always to revocation and whatever rules and regulations the Government see fit to inn pose.

Councilman Adam Ziegler of the second ward IS a patient at the Hartford hospital where a blood transfusion was performed yester- day in an effort to give him needed strength sor a major operation to be performed by Dr. Lampson, a Hart ford specialist.
 The blood was furnished by Henry Ziegler, a brother of the patient. Registrar William J. Ziegler, an other brother, submitted to an ex- animation as a possible donor, but it was found that the specimen taken from Henry more nearly matched that of Adam than did that of the registrar.
 Councilman Ziegler has been sui fering from ulcers of the stomach for several months. A short time ago he was 2. patient at the New Brit ain hospital, undergoing treatment for the ailment.
