Compromise on S400

The contractor for the clearing gruobing, etc., of the site of the industrial school at Shoemaker Bay, near Wrangell, was obliged to com plete the work on April 30th last. But owing to bad weather and other causes he did not get the work finished until June 30. As result the contract stipulation that a penalty of S25 per day be exacted caused the last payment oi $3,l0O to be withheld by the Gov ernment until the penalty of $l,- 5oo was disposed of. The goo, offices of the Delegate were in vcked but the Comptroller Gen eral finally decided that onl, s4O0 would be remitted because o

Clerks of the Court for the four divisions of Alaska received one half of the naturalization fees of $5. But ruling of the Comptrol- Ter General on April 29, 1929, was to the effect that the Clerks were not entitled to retain for their own use any part of the naturalization fees, which they have not bee since received. Recently, at the sugges- ton of one of the Clerks, the mat ter was referred to the Department of Justice, with the reply from Assistant Attorney General c. P. Sisson that Under the law the decisions of the Comptroller Gen. eral of the United tSates, in mat ters of this character, are binding upon all branches of the service , He also gives other reasons why the Clerks are not entitled to re- tain this fee.

Alaska Information

1nquirers through the newspap- CTS of Washington nearly always get accurate replies to their queries about Alaska. One writer wanted to know how many dentists there are in Alaska and in the United States proper. He was informed that there are 16 in Alaska and 54721 in the U. S. Another wished to know how many people live in Valdez. His answer was: About 500. Valdez is the most northerly port in Alaska which is open dur ing the winter. It is also on the great interior stage route" Still another inquirer wanted to know how the mail is sent to Alaska. And he was given the following information: "All mails for Alaska are dispatched from Seattle, Washington During the season of navigation all classes of mail are forwarded. During the winter season from October l to May D, on account of the difficulty Of transportation to remote sections the dispatch of mail for Alaska except for offices on the southern coast and those located along the railroads and adjacent thereto, is limited. Valuable parcels can be taken by express to Nome and te other points at all times of the | year via aifplane from Fairbanks Anchorage and Seward"

O'MALLEY GIVES OBJECTIVE FOR
 YUKON FISHING
Explains Wf,.y,' Salmon Fish ing Planned Outside of
 Mouth of River

WARRINGTON, D. C., NOV. .;.- Especial Correspoadance) Another protest was received the past week 5y the Delegate against the pro posed regulation that would permit the taking of 50,000 King salmon in each season from waters outside the Yukon River delta. As the Commissioner of Fisheries has practically decided to try cut the experiment as propo1ed the lette, received from Alaska was referred to MT OMalley for answer, and among ether things he wrote the protestant:
 ''The objective in this matter i; to give the comparatively few Es- kimos who live in the Yukon delta section some opportunity to add tC their present very meagre sources of income. They are practically destitute and undoubtedly woulc be kelpsd by the contemplated com. niercial fishing activity. There ha: been some opposition to the prop. c5ed regulation, but, it seems to ot based upon the misconceplion tha salmon canneries will be estao lished by outside interests in tht Yukon River region. Tine only acti vsty contemplated would oe salt iag or mildeuring operations whicl would be conducted by local resi- dents of the lower Yukon region.
 "Tha Eskimo and Indian resi- dents Of the Yukon region do no favor king salmon as food fo themselves or their dogs. The prefer the other species of salmo for this purpose. As a matter . fact, these natives make littl effort to catch king salmon.

 Admits All Allegations
 The complaint said that out of a total issue of both series, aggregat- ing $3,000, ,000, only $200 had been redeemed by the company. It d. legged that the company was not now and for long time would not be financially able to redeem any of these securities. MT. Behrends prayed for the appointment of a receiver to prevent dissolution of the properties and dissipation of the assets.
 r In it's answer, filed by MT. Roden the compnay admitted all of the allegations in the complaint and interposed no objections to the ap- pointment of a receiver. MT. Cas- tonguay is now in control of the entire holdings of the company
 Record Bond Filed
 His receivers bond was fixed at $550 ,00O, said to be the largest ever filed in the local United States district court and probably the largest ever required of any re- ceiver in the Territory. It was filed promptly.
 Among the assets listed are the two power plants, one at Salmon Creek and the other at Annex Creek. Both are in good condition and in operation, and are prcduc- ing the only income the company has at this time Other properties include the Thane plant and town site, and the mining properties formerly held in the name of the Alaska Gastineau Company Would Pay All Debts The complaint filed in the action declares that the aggregate of all holdings would be more than suf- ficient to meet all debts provided that the same could be sold in an orderly fashion However, if they were dumped on the market in a forced sale, such as would result upon a levy and execution, they would bring but a small fractional part of their true value.

Pulp Development

The possibility of the Govern ment doing anything to delay the establishment of paper and pulp mills at Juneau, Ketchikan and possibly at other points, is not re- garded as even remote proba5il- ity. It is expected that with the return of business readjustment the different parties Investigating the projects at great cost will be ready to complete their arrange ments and start actual construc- ton. AS the forests in Alaska are ripe for cutting and considerable cost is involved in deterioration due to delay, the Forest Service officials feel that unnecessary post ponement would be detrimental.

AS the Territory of Alaska is particularly interest ed in securing a reasonable price fer the copper metal, in order to stimulate it's production and give a larger number of miners em- ployment in the North.

But with the price cut in half the production ! has been curtailed and the monthly shipment nets less than $200 ,000, with one of the auxiliary mines at Latouche closed down entirely.

|of the highway commissioner that he
 was not allowed to spend a dollar outside the part designed for vehi- |cular travel. Probably that was true,
 but nobody will deny that 1t is within
 the powers of the general assembly to authorize the highway commis-
 sion to provide suitable paths for people on foot. There is no need
 for spending much time investigat-
 ing the need of what the application asks for. The evidence is visible in
 all parts of the state. Coroner Phelan of Bridgeport, who is member of
 the governors committee can fur

 this matter. Because this was not given consideration when the state
 first commenced to improve the

 never be taken up. This Is one of

The fine weather yesterday brought out large numbers for the first time since the cold weather set in last December. The number of men, wo- men and children on foot on the country roads furnished good argu- ment in favor of paths on the state highways for the accommodation of pedestrians. It would furnish pretty good information for the committee appointed by Governor Cross to in- vestigate and report to the general assembly on the petition of Senator Lawlor seeking favorable action on a measure which would authorize the highway commission to make pro- vision for pedestrians by construct ing curbs at either side of improved highways and making paths inside on which people would walk with some measure of safety.
