The final act of the Territory's withdrawal from the fish hatchery business took place recently when Governor George A. Parks signed a bill of sale formally transferring ownership of the hatchery building at Eyak Lake to the town of Cordova. The other building, formerly used for the same work at Ketchikan, was transferred to that community .sey- eral weeks ago. The transfer was made under an authorization from the Alaska Legislature, which directed the disposal as, made by the governor. Alaska is now without any hatcher property. The buildings. have been leased for several years during which time the Territory did no propagation nor planting of fish.
 The diversion of water. from the head of the Chatanika river to the Davidson ditch of the Fairbanks Ex- ploratien Company has ended for. the season, freezing weather having ne- cessitated the closing of the .s ditch. This automatically brings to an. end for the year the stripping and thaw- ing operations of the big company. The several dredges of the company are continuing operations, and will remain on the job as long as weather permits. The two Cleary dredges are working steadily towards each other, one going down, and when they meet they will turn about and work hack through ground that was not touched in the first dredging.
 Back from the western coast of Alaska, just north of the mouth. of the kuskokwim river, where some of the Territory's most primitive na- tiyes make their habitat, Pilot Harry Blunt, of the Pacific International Airways, returned recently to -Anctte orage with a. plane load, of gold. In. dian baskets and other curios picked up along the way The gold was taken aboard at Akiak, being a clean up of the New Ysrk-Alaska dredge on Bear creek, and numerous of the bas- kets and other things were presented to him by natives, the majority of whom had never seen an airplane previous to his arrival among them.

A Pacific Flight.
(NeW York T'imes)


 Colonel Lindbergh has been so uniformly suc- cessful in his flights the Atlantic, the Carib bean, in Mexico and Central and South America, that when he announces plan to fly across the Pacific and tour Japan and China, there will be general belief that his new adventure is practicable Mrs Lindbergh is to be his companion She has accompanied him on long-distance flights. The route by way of the Northern Pacific and the Alas kan archipelago will of course be taken. It is not free from danger. Yet Lieutenant Smith and his Army flers overcame the difficulties, and two of the planes used were brought back in almost per feet condition after complete circuit of the world
 The Lindberghs will not encounter such severe weather imperiled the army expedition between Sitka and the landfall in Japan. It early in April 1924 when the Army officers entered upon the Alaskan part of their pioneer journey Between Sitka and Seward they flew through almost tnuous squalls From May to the expedi- ton lay in the Aleutians. Fog, and high winds frequent in the Kurile Islands and along the Asiatic coast Hittokappu, Japan, reached on May 1s forty days after leaving Sitka If Col onel Lindbergh follows the same route in the mer he will escape such rigorous experiences It is said he will take every safety precauton" and pro- ceed methodically to his destination in Japan With the aid of the State Department, he should have the cooperation of the Japanese authorities and of the Russian and Chinese at those places where he desires to make a landing. The whole world will be interested in the adventure, and commercial avi- aton will be advanced by it's successful conclusion

cessively narrowed to conform to new condition of society These changes, the incidence of which has been confined largely to the years after the Civil War, have so altered American Government as to make it hardly recognizable the same fabric that was once so frequently and plainly marked by Jeffersonian individuaism and opposition to cen tralized authority.
 The difficulties of unemployment and depression, multiplied in large centers of population and peculiar to an industriazed community, confirm Jefferson's apprehensons as to the evils of urban society. But, however the transformation from rural to an industrial state may be deplored it's problems are not to be solved by regretting their existence The change has been inevitable and the colonies of the Atlantic Coast with their three million people could not have been expanded into a nation stretching across the continent and populated by one hundred and twenty millions without aban- doning the social structure of agricultural munity
 And tremendous as the revolution has been 1t by no means has outlawed the political philosophy of the Sage of Monticello. There is need today as there was in 1776 for men who esteem the eregnty of the people; freedom of thought and speech local self rule; and economy in government. And if time has altered the social structure he believed in it has confirmed his passion for human liberty his faith in democratic principles his pro gram of national expansion and has proved him not only one of the worlds greatest political philoso phers but one of Americas most practical and successful statesmen.
 It is seldom in the history of nations that the same lofty idealsm is combined with the sound realism he brought to bear in the con- Sideration of government affairs. When modern focuses upon economic problems the intellect and ideals that Jefferson directed to the soton of political difficulties the rights of men" will acquire a meaning and industrial society achieve form hosptable to human happiness and progress than it has in the past.

Mk. SPOUSE DOES WELL.

Jouett Shouse Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, praises as statesmanlKe ana courageous President Hoover's separations ana war debt moratorium MT Shouse fair to the point of generosity in the use of language but was not jnept Evidently he believes that when one doeS anything it ought to be well done. He did 1t well and without reservations. It is courageous ana statesmanlika thing the President proposes when one considers the billion dollar deficit in the treasury and the predictions that it will be added to by another billion by the end of the next fiscal year it takes a lot of courage to extend even for year the payment of s25OO0OoOO that is owing to our treasury If predictions are authentic and the Presidents plans are carried out the deficit in an- other year will amount to $22500OO00o or more That is not a pretty picture for the President to face while in the midst of a campaign for renom- nation and reelection and it requires bravery to do so.
 It is hot often that find party organization leaders as generous and fair as MT. Shouse has been in this case. It is too bad that 1t IS so Praise duly earned by the opposition ought to be freely bestowed and MT Shouse did, as all party leaders ought to do.

JEFFERSON AND TIMES CHANGE.

fAppropos of the near approach of the Fourth of July the following well considered editorial In the St Paul Pioneer-Pres published on Jeffersons birthday last April 13 is timely. Thomas Jefferson is always suggested when the people prepare to celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Inde- pendence of which he was the authorl
 Thomas Jefferson was distinguished among his contemporaries for uncanny capacity to plumb the future Times without number the foresight of Jefferson enabled him to predict the course of his tory And yet it is doubtful if his prophetic vision could have enabled him to imagine the pres ent-day offspring of the National Government in the creation of which he played large part
 sturdy individualism the ideal of Jeffer- son. His beliefs and those of his party were the doctrines of agrculturists and parcularsts devoted to their own localities, their own States and their individual rights and liberties. The power of the State in any form was thing of evil and to be resisted That country is governed best which is governed least" aptly summarized their code. Out of such sentiments there emerged the foundations of the national character. Men felt that "the law swept around each citizen wide circle of individual rights into which government, State or Federal. could intrude except at its peril
 Such was the political faith of country rural in its habits and thought Jefferson misrusted large centers of population and esteemed society com posed of planters farmers and small traders, as the bulwark of republican government.
 Jefferson may have foreseen that the Colonies could not forever remain essentially agricultural in industry or society. But it is doubtful if he or the others who labored with him imagined that industry would largely predominate the interests of the United States.
 To cope with this condition the functions of the State have been multiplied and rights and liberties of the individual citizen have been suc-

Blair Patterson, a corporation law

Blair Patterson, a corporation law
yer and charge of Horace Patterson,
alias Van Dyck came for the latter
and brought out the fact that he was
not Van Dyck but had hallucinations
that he was wealthy with the hobby
of organizing large companies.
At the termination of various other
interesting scenes the bride and
groom returns, but to the surprise of
all the groom was Willie (BilD Par
ker who had enticed Leach to get out
of the car to see about the tail light.
At this instant as told by Bill the
car started and II tossed his suitcase
out and l don't think you'll ever see
him again" Thereupon as Angela
told it, willie just kidnapped me-"
The marriage of Angela to Bill and
the finding of the necklace rather
pleased Forbes and due to Bills mar
riage making a relationship between
the two families, he became generous
and allowed Smith rs per cent to come
into the combine.
A great deal of credit for the sue
cess of the play may be given to Mr..
and Mrs. c. M. Nelson for their untir-
ing efforts. Mr.. Nelson was stage
manager and worked hard to fit the
stage with the scenes that were called
for in the play. Mrs. Nelson made up
the characters to correspond with
their particular roles.
Following the play Friday night a
lunch was served in the basement by
the Auxiliary. After the lunch a
dance was enjoyed in the upper hall
with music being furnished by the
Happy Four orchestra.

the income tax may be in lieu in
whole or in part of taxes on any class
or classes of real or personal prop
erty, as the legislature may deter
NINE" Distribution of the tax is
left wholly to the judgment of the leg
islature.
Bond Issue Approved.
| Another important measure that
was enacted into law and which re-
ceived the approval of the governor,
was the authorization of bond issue
of SIS, 100000 for highway construc-
ton. The State Highway department
will, therefore, be permitted to go
ahead with a program of road con-
struction far ahead of any that has
yet been realized in any one year
since the state highway constitutional
amendment was approved in 1920.
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, has announced that
paving during the year 1881 will ap-
proximate 44O miles. This is nearly
twice the amount of paving that was
done in the year 1880.
Bank Tax Wins.
| A scheme for taxing national banks
was passed by both houses of the leg
islature. This has been a trouble
some matter ever since the United
States Supreme Court in 1927 held the
Minnesota law invalid in taxing ma
tional banks. pit
| The new law imposes the duty of
making annual reports of net income,
not only upon banks, but upon mer-
camille and manufacturing establish
ments. It's purpose is to give the
State Tax Commissioner power he may
need later if the federal law con-
tinues to make the rule that bank
taxes shall not be higher than the
taxes on other lines of business.
During the closing hours of the ses-
sion number of fairly important
bills were passed.
Bills Lost. "
Labor measures were not particular
ly successful in getting by, though a
few minor ones made the grade, so
to speak. =
Several important measures of pub
lie interest went down to defeat.
Among these were: Repeal of the
Brooks-Coleman street Railway law;
Statutory Inome Tax; Initiative and
Referendum Constitutional Amend
ment; Consolidated Primary Ballot;
Minneapolis Grade Separation bill;
Repeal of Newspaper Gag law; County
Assessor bill, and Stockwell Hydro

Brief Outline.
The story of the play told of week
end gathering at the country home
of the Smiths, outside of New York
which had been arranged by Mrs.
Smith (Dulcy). Mrs. Smith, of course
thought, by inviting the Forbes she
could persuade Mr.. Forbes to give her
Gordie more than sixteen and two
thirds per cent of the jewelry COM
bine and at the same time through
her admiration for vincent Leach, the
scenarist, she had vision of arrang-
ing courtship and marriage between
he and Angela This she also thought
might affect Forbes-it did but oppo-
site from the way she desired All
this was arranged much to the disgust
of Willie, her brother, and her hus-
band.
Forbes, on the other hand although
he had preferred to stay at home tt
rest lame back, had thought, too
of making a disagreeable trip pay al
least small dividends, and invited his
advertising manager, Tom Sterret to
meet him at the Smiths much to the
dissatisfaction of Dulcy, who could
not connect him with the scheme oil
things.
The party progressed as all parties
do when they are arranged against
the wishes of majority of the guests
and hosts-from bad to worse until
finally Leach and Angela had ar
ranged an elopement with the help OF
Mrs. Smith, Bill and Mrs. Forbes
Bill was to drive for them in Mr.
Forbes car. Smith arrived at the
point to offer to fight Forbes in the
merger after he had been offered un.
limited capital by Van Dyck. Forbes
gets ready to leave after finding that
his daughters necklace is missing.
Upon going to the garage he also
finds that his car is missing.
