former predictions that the election will mean a Democratic House of Representative and possible control of the Senate
 Republican leaders, acknowledging that some losses are likely, took new hope from reports. denied by the Democrats, that last week had seen the turning downward of the Demo- cratic fortunes into an anti-climax which, after a supreme effort had been brought to a peak too long before the election.
 The vigor of the final struggle is evidenced by mounting bitterness. The plays and counter plays of political debate in the campaign became evidenced by the strong words of Senator James E. Watson of Indiana, who forecast the time as utter chaos" if a Democratic Congress should be chosen. Former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, assailing the farm policies of the Republicans, spoke thus of his old time Missouri antagonist, Secretary Hyde of the Department of Agri- culture: One gains nothing by de- bate with an intellectual ulcer"
 Thus goes the argument.

TIMBER CONSERVATION"
Petersburg, Alaska February p, 1880
The ALASKAN.

The ALASKAN,
 Gentlemen:
 I quote an Act of Congress:
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of he United States of America in Congress assembled, That tim bsr lawfully cut on any national forest, or on the public lands in Alaska, may be exported from the State or Territory where grown if in the judgment of the Secretary of the department ad- ministering the national forests or the public lands of Alaska, the supply of timber for local tse will not be endangered thereby, and the respective Se- cretaries are hereby authorized to issue rules and regulations to carry out the purpose of this Act. Approved April 12, 1926. GA Stat. 242).
 In the face of the above the Forest Department recently blocked an attempt, by local people to work up an export bus iuess on hemlock logs, regardless of the fact that here in South east Alaska, at the present rate cf cut, there is an estimated stand of ripe timber sufficient to supply local demands for HOO years; also in the face of the fact that the logging equip ment already in the field is not being operated at above 50 per cent of it's capacity.
 quote from an article pub- lished in the West Coast Lum- bermen's Association publication 'Ioggers Daily" over the sigma tCre of Col. w B. Greeley: "The proportion of the hemlock in the imput of West Coast logs is steadily increasing. Its profit able manufacture and market ing is one of the serious prob leins of our lumber industry to-

FISHERIES NO VALUE |?
Petersburg, Alaska
 February A, 1880

February 24, 1850 Editor The Alaskan:
 Dear Sir:
 In the February issue of The Pacific Fisherman, an answer to Delegate Sutherland's speech in Congress is attempted and which takes the controversy so far from the truth that there is no use arguing their point. In fact, they seem to prove that the fish o. Alaska is worth absolutely rothing and in some instances, less than that.
 However, there is one state ment that the Pacific Fisherman seems to take delight in where ny they figure they have Suther- land pinned to the mat, and that Is the statement that 1t takes more men to kill the fish I'll British Columbia than in Alaska. That is one time they admit that Sutherland told the truth but they did not admit that their scientific fish destroy CTS were the cause of the differ ence. They did not tell of the Buschmann trap in Cross Sound ,,hich took the seining grounds of eight crews and pushed them out into the open waters, taking the seining grounds away from forty men. These men f1shed tnly on slack water while the trap fished 24 hours day and depleted many streams; nor of all the closed areas to fishermen who now have no waters to fish in and are on the point of star vation they being reduced to a condition lower than peons as the peons lived on the land and always had something to eat be- cause the boss had to have him work where if he starved he was no good for work.
 That is the condition that MT Sutherland knows is wrong and that is the condition that the Pacific Fisherman thinks is right and rejoices in.
 Very truly yours,
 Pete SOmmer.

Yet the character of the timber ahead of our logging operations indicate the probability of a increase in the proportion of hemlock logs"
 The author of the above state ment, Col. w. B. Gree-ey, was at one time the whip which was cracked over the heads of our local mills and loggars by the enforcement of the rigid cutting regulations which have resulted in so much hardship to our local lumber industry, held the posi- of Chief Forester in Washing ton, D. c. He is today, Secre- tary- Manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.
 Today the loggers of South east Alaska are supplying our local mills with all the logs they can use at a price lower than the price on logs in the State of Washington. We have no fir tim Ger. In that species we cannot compete but in hemlock, the
 ogging and sale of hemlock logs, .,lven a chance, the Alaska log gers can give all corners a run for their money.
 The hemlock logs before men toned were to be loaded aboard vessels for transportation to Oriental ports. Alaskan waters are nearer these ports than are Puget Sound and Columbia Riv- CT shipping points. The price of fered, better than local prices. This order will be filled. Who will fill it?
 In conservation and forestry literature, you will always see stressed for the sake of cheap ness and economy, the necessity C, taking into consideration the transportation charges. The Interests of the consumer who pays the freight bill are better served by furnishing him an ar tjcle produced lear at home, thus saving him the cost of a long haul. This policy is suppos- ed to have a broad application and be of general benefit. It is ne of the foundation stones of the conServationiSt's theory. Lke Forest Service has always claimed it as it's own. I have al- ways held it to be more or less theoretical for the reason that the cost of production and dis tribution, if not tempered with, automatically takes care of the subject. It is good argument, however. I cannot dispute it. Neither can the Forest Depart ment.
 The question that I wish to raise is this: Is the Forest De- partment going to allow Alaska forests to rot until the privately owned forests in the States are exhausted and then make the consumer pay transportation charges on Alaska timber to fill demands there, or is it going to allow Alaska to fill foreign de- mands and thus conserve the timber nearer American market and save an immense freight bill for the lumber consumer in the United States?
 Is our Forest Department sup posed to administer our Nation al Forests forthe benf1t of the people of the United States or for the benefit of the Pacific Coast BaronS?
 The item of hemlock logs re ferred to is but one of many timber items in which there is possibility of profitable busi- ness for the Alaska forests and lumber industries. These de- mands cannot be filled, our lum- L..

doesn't he sign his name?) printed letter in THE ALASKAN l wherein he shows aAite plainly another slant Of the AlasEl l eagIe complex.
 Is it fact that the Territory has paid bounties on 6O ClJ eagles? l knew the numbet was large, but never kept very close tab on the Wanton siaught- CT.
 Why in the first place, was a bounty placed on the American eagle? I have been an Alaskan, off and on, since March 1896 ana I have yet to learn details of that bit of freak legislation. In the first place, the hue and cry was that the eagle was q deer killer. No thought of foes then, nor fish, nor anything but 1eer. When the fox fever hlv the Territory, and the the0ret- icaI increase in foxes failed woe fully in a majority Of instances. then the eagle was the fox 6at- CT. Deer were sidetracked and all but forgotten. Also, an0thor fifty cents was added to the county for dead eagles. This dollar per head Cor rather pel two feet) was 9 wonderful. method of making mJLey by many who had never earnea that much money beGore-an the Territory paid, and pays, th1 bills. Great system, surely. The commonwealth of Alaska is OuY thousands of dollars and the on Iy benehciaries are the beach combers. The whole affair is just about as far fetched as was the scheme of feeding adult fox es. carnoriyorouS animals, rOllel cats and expecting healthy puppies and prime peIts. For the thousands of baby foxes that died from mainutrition, the eagles got the blame ana the gun.
 There is no weI-autAelticat-
 ed statement, nor balanced
 avidence, that the eagle ever captured a baby fox. The write
 is acquainted with many fo@
 armars and no few of them
 luite successful in their yentures
 All were, ard maybe are, more
 IT less anti-eagle and the ill feeling was all based on Wha they had heard, not on what they had seen. Down to bras tacks they had never witnessed the destruction of any kind 0t fox, little, old or young, by an eagle.
 There is some evidence-not much, that the great horned owl is a fox pup destroyer. I am speaking now of the coast re zion. In the Interior, there is no question but what the biz owl now and then kills young foxes because remains of those animals have been found in md around their nesting places. Down at Security Bay l saw ar owl, one evening just at dusk drop silently down out of 8 tree and into the thick brush, Tn Q few seconds he emerged from the jungle with fox pup in his talons. This, of course, was real evidence. The bird perched n 8 dead snag a short distance beyond and let his prey g0 when 8 bullet cut close to him Although I picked the fox pup I'D within not more than 9 pos sib,e ten minutes after I had first seen the owl, the pup was not only dead, but stiff. I am inclined to belieye, therefore, that the pup was dead some time tefore the owl came around. There wasn't a scratch

that oBaldy the Killero eats. :;

lnlS IS anOLneT Oraln storm. The eagle doesn't bother young deer unless they have been kill ed, or have died, in some place where an eagle may find them. An eagle isn't very keen on get ting into dense brush or in posi- tions where he cant use his Nings. The great destroyer of baby geese, ducks and all sorts of field birds is the raven. He not only is a baby bird killer, but he is past master as an egg thief The common crow is no 5l0Uch either in this egg crack ing game. At Salt Lagoon, Rocky Pass, one spring day, I saw ra- TenS fighting mother geese off their nests so that they-the ayenS-could destroy the eggs, md several days later I saw the same ravens, probably, chasing
 he toddling goslings here and there through the back brush md killing them. There's real evidence. There were eagles round, but they weren't molest-
 nB any of the birds. However.

 5een them attack geese that I ad winged or injured. I don't old this against them, for I, iZely would have lost the game .yWay, and the eagles might IS well have the cripples as the l yoaSelS. The live ducks that 1 ne eagle sometime takes are
 lie black surf ducks and the 1 wing scaups when they hap { 2on to be feeding in shallow water.
