preparation (named after the
French bacteriologist) to several
hundred Lubbock children to i'm

Professor Georg Deycke, director

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The. split
between Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt and former Governor
Alfred E. Smith had widened per-
ceptibly today, with Smiths attack
on the reforestation amendment
backed by Roosevelt.
While Smith has denied his at
tack on the reforestation amend
ment is to be construed as against
Governor Roosevelt, it is felt that
the two nevertheless are drawing
farther apart.
The attack is the more significant
because Smiths differences with
Tammany hall appeared to have
been settled, while Roosevelt has
been drifting away from the wig
wan. And Roosevelt is to speak
for the amendment over the radio
Monday.
Smith dealt at length with the
plan to plant trees on idle farm
land. the state to cut and sell the
lumber, in a statement issued
Thursday.

enormous deficit in its revenues, this

1.-THE legislature has all the power
in the world to vote money for this

Who ever heard in this or any

Constructive Measures.
Seward Gateway.)

For the benefit of the visiting Congressman who undoubtedly interested in Alaska, the follow ing items set forth with view of presenting simply and clearly few of the major points and improvements desired by this the great Westward and the railroad belt area:
 Coast Guard cutter stationed in these waters throughout the entire winter as well as summer; every winter men and their vessels are lost.
 Extension of the local breakwater which is alto getter too small; look at iti Construction of a breakwater off Lowell Point behind which steam CTS may be sheltered from southern gales. During these gales large vessel must pull away from the dock This is one reason why cutter does not make Seward it's base.
 Reduction of freight and passenger rates over the Alaska Railroad; Alaskans should not be pen alized for pioneering the country.
 Discarding of local primitive methods of load ing coal and coal bunkers built lack of this facility has hampered the natural development of the coal industry. More coal the dock the greater the tonnage revenue for the railroad.
 A generous policy from Washington vest ing operation of railroad locally, not Washington You have first-class General Manager; permit him to run it.
 Development of our magnificent forests-paper, pulp, veneer, etc-meaning tonnage for the railroad Birch, spruce hsmock, aspen and cottonwood
 Lifting of the conservation ban which has throt- tied the Territory for years.
 A study of the railroads obvious resources and what is the reason they ignored. Development of just one of these alone would bring the road out of the red.
 Hooking up of present road systems
 This alleged eXtermnation of brown bear is the bunk" There is no bear problem.
 Larger appropriations for the Coast and Geodetc Survey and the Geological Survey.
 Full Territorial form of government such as other Territories had before their admission as States
 There is vital need for a lighthouse Resur- recton Cape, marking the entrance to Resurrection Bay the deep-water terminal of a $100000000 rail- road belt.
 A sub-5tation on this West Coast, in the North Pacific, where a lighthouse tender be stationed. More attention to memorials and resolutions sent to Congress by the Alaska Legislature.
 Tourist resorts, similar to the C. P R., in Canada, along the Alaska Railroad belt; Lawing, Moose Pass, Tunnel, etc.
 Air mail subsidies and stationing of army and navy plane squadrons.
 Systematic Government publicity Alaska sim liar to that carried by New Zealand, Australia and Canada No country in the world has been given publicity than Alaska, still own citizens in the States grossly ignorant; it is difficult to purchase either maps or books of Alaska
 Congressmen, you hold the power to compel application of many of these items pointed out which requisite to make the Alaska Railroad, an agency of great service financially profitable in itself and nationally helpful, and to assist in gen. eral the progress of this almost dormant but great Territory

AN IMPOSSIBLE COMBINATION.

writer in the Republican New York Herald Tribune possibly for the purpose of attempting to sde-track the Presidential candidacy of Gov Roose welt, has launched campaign for the nomination by the Democrats of Senator Cordel Hull Among the qualifications he urges for Senator Hull is that he is a stanch "Jeffersonian Democrat" and a supporter of the Prohibition Amendment.
 The argument falls because there can be no such a thing Jeffersonian and advocate of Federal Prohibition in the same person. No Jef- fersonian could possibly be a supporter of National Prohibition. Jefferson would abhor the very idea Of Federal control of the habits and customs of the people The great leader of real Americanism individualist. He believed that the govern ment which governed least the best government, and he believed thoroughly in State rights It is doubtful whether he would have favored Prohibition by law within State It is certain that he would not have favored the control of any State by other States He absolutely would have opposed Federal Prohibition.

BUSINESS SLIGHTLY DULLER.

July 27 release of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District with headquarters at San Francisco doe not paint a glowing picture of business conditions However, the situation is not alarming and ther is not reason in the world why Juneauites shoult worry. The payrolls in this vicinity will be larg or larger than last year and the situation in tn States causes an increase in the interest in go mines and prospects.
 The circular issued by the Twelfth Fedora Reserve District for publication not earlier than Jul 27 is as follows:
 Business activity in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District receded during June. Both production and distribution of commodities were at lower levels than in May even after allowance for the usual moderation at this time of the year. Prices of many commo- dities important in this district rose tenn porarily during the last two three weeks of June, but averages for the month were considerably lower than in May, No marked change occurred in the banking situation during the month
 Rainfall during June brought some relief from semi-drought conditions which had be- evident in the Pacific Northwest late in May, but did not benefit growing crops materially Harvests of most Twelfth District field and grain crops expected to be smaller this year than in 1930 Production of deciduous fruits is also expected to be smaller than last year while the volume of citrus fruits being harvested is of record proportions. The condition of live stock and livestock ranges, with the excep- tion of those in Arizona, became less sats- factory during June. Ranges and cattle and sheep in Arizona in excellent condition.
 Industrial activity, which was relatively stable during the first half of 1881 than in similar months of 1930 declined moderately during June, following a similar decrease in May. Reductions in the output of crude and refined oils. lumber and copper were reported in both of those months h. yentories of lumber and refined copper rose further during June. Supplies of crude oil and gasoline on the other hand, were re- duced to the lowest levels in two years, reflecting continuation of vigorous efforts within the petroleum industry to bring about a better adjustment between the supply of and demand for products of that industry. The values of contracts awarded for public construction increased sharply during June, but commercial and industrial building ac- tivity smaller in value than at any time since 1922. Residential building permits increased somewhat in value during June Employment was sustained by seasonal in- creases in the canning and preserving n- dustry and in agricultural work, but there was evidence that reductions in wage rates continued.
 Value of sales at retail declined by more than the seasonal amount and wholesale sales increased less than is customary in June Registration of new automobiles con-

 Real reasons for the recession of the Glacier Bay glaciers is not known"
 Favorite Glacier, which was prominent in 1890 in Glacier Bay and which was named by Doctor Reid, has entirely disappeared.
 At the time of the doctors visit north in 1890, he camped close to John Muir for whom Muir Gla- cier was named d in 1880 The steamship Queen, Captain Carroll, brought from Seattle lumber that was to be used in the erection of house for Doctor Muir. Doctor Reid's party helped to build the structure
 Chimney Stlll Stan0S
 On Doctor Reid's recent visit to Muir glacier, which has receded 10 miles in the last Al years, the only vestige he could find of the Muir habitation was the stone chimney. Alder trees 10 and Is feet high cover the site of Doctor Reids old camp.
 Queen and Carroll glaciers in Glacier Bay were named for the steamship and her former master. Among other glaciers named by Doctor Reid are Davidson, for Prof. George Davidson; Johns Hop kins for t:le university at which Doctor Reid was a professor many years; Wood Glacier for Lieut.. Charles Erskine Scott Wood, be- lieved to have been the first white man to enter Glacier Bay, having made his entry in 1877; Rendu Gla- cier, after the French glacialist; Charpentier Glacier, for the Swiss glacialist Adams Glacier, for c. A.. Adams, who was a member of Doc tor Reid's party in 1890 and who is dean of the college of engineer ing at Harvard Reid Bay, Reid Inlet, and Reid Glacier are named for Doctor Reid.
 Doctor Reid is conceded to be the foremost glacialist in the Unit ed States and by some scientists he is regarded as the most emil nent in the world. He retired last year from the faculty of Johns Hopkins.
 He has done a great deal of work in the course of his life for the federal government. He is temporarily connected with it now for the research purposes of his present trip.
 MT. Wright, when associated with the Geological Survey earlier in the present century, spent six summers in geological work in this part of Alaska. Other members of the party are Fred D. Wright, son of Charles w. Wright; Thomas K. Dunstan, Russell Williams and Richard Surratt. All except MT. Surratt, who will remain here in definitely, will leave for the States Wednesday.
