 Lower Rail Rates
 Asked for his opinion as to the wisdom of the action of the In terior Department in raising tariffs on the Alaska Railroad, he said he had no knowledge of what motivat- ed this policy, but that it seems perfectly obvious that the commun- ity cannot use that transportation system to the extent it would if the rates charged had not been raised.
 ''To my mind, if rates were low cred and service extended, the VOL ume of business would come much nearer solving the deficit situation, and most cer5a;nly result in more extensive building up of the coun- try, than can be done by increased tariffs and curtailed service He criticised airways rates in the interior as being too high, much out of proportion to similar rates in the States.
 Study Southeast Alaska
 Congressman Simmonds plans to study Southeast Alaska as closely as his time here will permit. He and his family were escorted q through the Alaska Juneau gold mill this afternoon. Tomorrow they will leave for tour of ad- jacent districts, including visit to Sitka and possibly Skagway. He wants to see the Agricultural Ex- pertinent station at Sitka, and ob- serve some of the United States Forest Service activities here.
 The party will make the trip o1. of here on the United States Bu- reau of Public Roads tender High way. Their plan is to return here about Saturday for another brief stay, and early next week they will take the Brant for Se- attle, visiting canneries and other industrial plants between here and Ketchikan. From Seattle, the par ty will return to Scott's Bluff, Ne- braska, where they reside.
 Congressman Simmonds, if the next Congress remains under Re- publican control, is expected to be Chairman of the Agricultural Sub committee of the House Appropria- tions Committee. He is studying all of the Department of Agricul7 ture projects in the Territory and gath ring fund of related infor- nation.
 Tt is necessary not only to have knowledge of the projects, them selves, but also of the conditions affecting, or affected by, them, in order to d etermine their true value" he said. It is with this in mind, that he has made his ex- tended trip in the Territory. u.

but it is impossible to go into
 that country and not feel ex-
 traordinary interest in that great Territory itself. While I had read somewhat of Alaska I
 had never happened to get hold of a book that gave what seemed
 a true picture of today. It was quite by accident that I secured
 a copy of Mrs. Davis s book, 'Uncle Sam's Attic" My inter-
 est in Alaska was so real that 1 my immediate thought was that II wished everybody could read
 that book, and I frankly wished
 our Senators and Representa-
 tives in Washington, who direct Fly and indirectly have to do with the affairs of Alaska, might
 have that privilege, for I thot
 to them it would be of absorb
 ing interest and value. The three friends mentioned, who
 hunted with me and who made trips to Alaska, join in sending this book"
 In line with a recent policy by President Hoover, the Forest Service has ordered temporary restriction of sales of timber from the National Forests, as q means of relieving the serious depression now confronting the lumber industry, except where the value is less than $500. Ex- captions are made to supply the needs of already existing saw mills which are dependent upon l the National Forests for their raw material, and also to fur niSh domestic paper mills with raw material needed to supply [ the domestic market with news print and other pulpWood prod ducts. An inquiry from Peters burg as to just what this order means has brought forth the following letter to the Delegate from the Acting Secretary of Agriculture, which contains 'ha following information:
 Tn issuing this order the De- partment had in mind the de- $. ability of developing {. r.in| and paper industry in Alaska asl we'll as elsewhere in the United| States as a possible means of increasing employment. Sales to furnish raw material to papet mills in the United States, in cluding Alaska, may therefore be made as heretofore. It should also be noted that the order does not in any way restrict the making of sales to individuals or industries which need only small quantities of timber, such as canneries or other industries in Alaska which need small quantities of piling or other forest products"

and friends. A widow in Angoon mother of six children was re- fused assistance because she held a small share in a boat which had not paid it's upkeep in several years. We can add many other instances showing illegal discrimination to the cnii dren and widows of tax payers. But what's the use? The aver age public is not interested in the welfare of anyone but them selves and though The Gateway may be sincere in it's query, It would be virtually impossible for if to make the native believe in it's sincerity.
 The natives of Alaska are not wards of the Federal Govern ment according to the strict in terpretation of the law. If the Territory persists in it's discrin1- nations a case may be carried into the courts and it will be the duty of the legislature to un- tangle the mess it has gotten the Territory. It is to be hoped that the Gateway will really honestly and sincerely face this question and aid in maintaining a sturdy independence of these people who contribute so much to the Territory and aid in the equitable distribution of taxes a part of which is secured from these people themselves.
 And yet the fact remains thaS the Territory does have it obi gatiCn to every one of citizen ship and the Territory should be tickled pink that the Feeder al Government is generous to

A successor has not been selected. Assistant Attorney General c. P. Sisson, in charge of administrative work, left for the Western Coast a few days ago on official business.

 On Moy 9th the Tariff Com mission held a hearing in Wash ;hgtor on hemp cordege st the instance of Mittet Line & Net
 To-, and the Haram & Wicks Line Co.,, both of Seattle. These firms furnish practically all the hemp halibut fishing lines used in Alaska, and previous to the tariff act of 1880 they were pro- tected by a duty of 2314 cenIs per pound or 1874 cents. This was reduced by the new law to : IA cents, which the Seattle manufacturers contended was a mistake. The Commission re- commended that the duty be in creased to 50 per cent, the high est within their power, and the President has approved the in crease to 47s cents, which will now be a law. The investigation which covered the year 1880, dis closed the fact that Italy is the principal competing country. There they pay no duty on the raw materials, as must be done
 n the United States, and thus have been able to sell the finish od product at less than the cost to the Seattle manufacturers.
 ' a@ co to Alaska has been no less, but the danger lies in Italy getting all the trade.
 A rather unusual interest ill Alaska has resulted in every of Congress receiving a copy of the book entitled, Uncle Sans Attic,-The Intimate Story Of Alaska by Mary Lee Davis, who formerly resided in Fairbanks.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, February 10
The City School Board at conference
with the City Council yesterday after
noon recommended additions to the
present school equipment which would
cost in the neighborhood of $40O,O 900.
If the Council decides to go ahead with
the program as recommended BOND
issue will be necessary. This, 1t is estl-
mated. would add from 20 to 25 cents
per 500 to the present tax rate OF
$2.40.
The board recommended the building
of a central high school at Cameron
and West streets to connect with Alex
andria High School and Jefferson
school. This would cost $325,OOO.
Plans for the school were drawn up
some time ago.
If this school is provided it would be
made a senior high school and Alex
andria and George Mason Highs would
be made Junior high schools. This.
Council was told, would relieve crowded
conditions in Mount Vernon Elemental
School by providing room for some OF
the pupils of that school at George
Mason and would relieve conditions at
Alexandria High. 1t would also enapie
the board to establish a junior hlgn
school system, which does not exist at
this time.
Room for ColOred Pupils.
With reference to colored schools, the
board recommended that three rooms
be added to Parker-Gray School and
that a new building, of five or six rooms,
be constructed in the southeastern part
of the city for elemental pupils. This,
the board said, would relieve crowded
conditions in Parker-Gray School anc
would allow the installation OF q full
children, which does not exist at this
time
