New Community Member Assures Success of Ter

Ketchikan's Chamber of Con- merce has joined the All-Alaska Chamber of Commerce, according to official advices received by M. s. Whittier. executive secretary of the Territorial organization.

 When the recent Legislature, :" explained MT. Whittier, made a biennium appropriation of s2,500 for use of the Alaska Chamber, the condition was attached that the act would not become effective un- less and until the Territorial or ganization should be joined by community chambers representing total memberships of at least 800 persons.
 The utilization of Ketchikan more than fulfills the conditions imposed by the Legislative enact ment. The Alaska Chamber is now an established organization, en- titled to the use of the fund ap- propriated by the lawmakers"

EXPORT MARKET
 FOR LOGS, DEAD
Loggers Find No Export Sale; Two Mills Cutting
 Ties for Railroad

Demand for export logs has en- tirely disappeared and Southeast Alaska outfits with logs on hand susceptible of legal exportation are encountering difficulties in finding any market for them, according to Asst. Region Forester B. F. Heint- zleman, who returned Tuesday from two- weeks trip to Ketchikan.
 Sawyer Reynolds Company, which has a good supply of spruce and hemlock logs on hand which could be legally exported, was able to sell but one raft, and that to a Prince Rupert mill company.
 For several years, there has been some agitation in some quarters for a removal of Forest Service re- i strictions against cutting logs for export to outside markets. Last year the organization relaxed it's , regulations so as to permit the ex- portation of timber cut for local mills but which could not be de- livered to them on account of de- pression This policy was con- tinued in effect this year.
 The Ketchikan Spruce Mills and the Scow Bay mill near Petersburg are the only Southeast Alaska plants in operation at this time The former has a contract to cut 25,000 ties, and the latter 40,001 for the Alaska Railroad. The Ket- chikan plant has, also, market for two-by Hours supplied to the

He in- spected existing trails to determine what improvements are necessary, and studied the field to see what, if any, new trails are needed.
 Trail signs for the convenience of the public probably will be in stalled on the Denver Glacier trail. He went over the route to s. Gla- cier where it is possible a new trail will be constructed.
 The summer season is later than normal at Skagway, MT. Holbrook said. Except for one small space, upper Dewey Lake is entirely fro- zen over. Last year at this time, it was clear. Last Monday night new snow fell on the peaks of the mountains in the vicinity of the town.

 T have seen a few sprouts, and seedlings the past summer, both infected and healthy, about { 0rs 5 inches thick at the base and % feet high Dr Clinton said. "Be- cause of the disappearance of the old infected trees and the lesser number of infected sprouts. we oc5 casionally find one or two surviv- ing sprouts that have escaped the blight. E G
 As regards seeding chestnuts, we stiIl have a fairly large num- Der in our woods under eight feet high. This year I found most of them quite vigorous and often free from blight. It Is to these younger, more isolated, seedlings that look for the survival of the chestnut, because of the lessening opportun- ity for infection, and the possibil- ' ity that the blight itself may gradually lose its )virulence as a parasite.
 "As to the so-called resistant trees in nature, I do not look for help. l have never seen what would call resistant tree or seedl- ing in this state. All of the trets that have been called to our at- tention either belonged to diffef- ent species or were surviving trets that finally died"

''Plain ak z Urges
 Mellon Impeachment
Copyright Article Cites Violation of Federal Code Be cause of Secretary's Many Business Connections

New York, Dec. 14-Impeach. ment of Secretary Mellon will be demanded by Plain Talk Magazine tomorrow, in a copyrighted article supporting Congressman Wright Patman's Impeachment resolution, on the technical ground that he has been sitting illegally. in ,viola- ton of Section 243 of the federal code.
 This section says that no person shall be appointed to the office of secretary of treasury who shall be directly or indirectly concerned or interested in carrying 1, on the business of trade or commerce, or be the owner in whole or In part of any sea vessel."K t3
 The magazine contends that MT Mellon's huge stock ownership in over 300 corporations, which are named in the article. brings him tightly in conflict with the law, and that the facts he resigned some of his directorship does not release his interest from these concerns, many of which he has more than 60% of the stock in. a,
 The article points to the huge tax refunds secretly granted to himself, his own business concerns and many other business corpora tions whose directory contributed huge sums to the republican cam paisn funds in 1928 and previous years, as one of the moral reasons why he should be impeached, and says that his special prlvilege complex" has done much to bring about the business depression and keep prosperity from coming back. The most serious moral charges which can be brought against the incumbent secretary, are contain ed in the report of the Graham committee of the house, which has been more or less suppressed. |. which accuses two of Mir Melions companies, the Standard Steel Car company and the Koppers com- panyy of defrauding the govern insnt during the war.

State Experiments
 On Chestnut Trees
Findings By Agricultural Experiment Staton BOtCnis
 Show Hope for Return After 20 Years

New Haven, Dec 14-Field ob- servations, together with experi- ments with 2O-year old cultures of the chestnut blight indicate that the chestnut tree may once again Dr c. F. Clinton said today. Dr Clinton, botanist ofthe Connecticut Agricultural experiment station, is studied 1t from the beginning of its fatal march over the state.
 This summer Dr Clinton and Dr Florence A. Mccormick inoculated trees on the station grounds with cultures of the fungus that had been kept alive saprophytically Con dead materiaD for 20 years. In comparison they inoculated trees with cultures two years old or less. The results were that the trees treated with.the 20-year old fungus failed to catch the. disease, while the other chestnuts became in- fested. ~
 We will continue the experi- ment, and if we find that no error has been made, we can then claim that continued culture as sapro- phyte causes the chestnut blight to lose it's vjrulence," Dr Clinton said. If this is ture. may not the same thing gradually happen in nature ? The blight will soon have con- sumed all it's living material. Thereby we may have some hope that the chestnut may come back again, as 1t did more than 100 years ago, following the unknown trouble that killed many of the trees In the south."
 Dr Clinton states that there are no healthy old chestnut trees and practically no living diseased ones. This fall he saw what was appar- ently the last of the old-timers. It was "A inches in diameter. but it bore approximately only 150 liv-
