Gov. Huey P. Long Monday issued q
call for a special session of the Louis1-

hibition plan.
Gov Long said the call provides for
a six-1ay session, but that he hoped TO
complete the work in five days.
TITS Gov. Longs baby, let him wash
it first" Gov. Sterling said yesterday
in Austin. Answering this, Gov. Long

"All right, old boy. we're getting ready
to wash the baby and dress it; 1t viii

The Alaska fisherman., 1931-02-15
From The Empire

Negotiations for the water power and timber for the Ju- neau and Ketchikan pulp and neWsprint manufacturing plants have been concluded, and all de- tails are arranged to the con- plete satisfaction of everyone concerned-the Government and the private interests connected with the projects was made known here by B. F. Heintzle- man, Assistant Region Forester.
 Everything is in readiness for initiation of construction, and that step will be taken as soon as a definite upward trend has been established in financial, industrial and business cOndj-

through a foreign port. The ar gument was used that the labor in preparing these fish for ship ment was not local, and the ma terials in which they were cased was manufactured by nonlocal or foreign labor. And how long would Alaska stand idly by and see it's salmon resources taken from Territorial waters, loaded on scoWs and lowed to Seattle CT elsewhere for processing, thus destroying the canning indus try of Alaska and Wiping out it's greatest source of revenue? Yet that is the effect of the suggest ed policy in relation to the for ests.
 The pulp and paper manufac- turers who are preparing to come to Alaska are coming here be- cause of the availability of the very resources which. it is now sought to export in unmanufac- turedshape. If the Forest Service, reversing itself as to nOn-eXDOr- tation, should throw down the bars on spruce why not on hem lock and invade the pulpWood market at Ocean Falls and Po- well River and on Puget Sound? Expectation of hemlock logs or squares is as reasonable as that

tiCns, in his opinion. Just when that will be no one knows or cares to predict, but Mr. Heint- zleman is confident that this year will witness the turning point at least for the local pro- ject.
 Differences Are Jr0ned Out
 After leaving here last Aug ust, Mr. Heintzleman went to San Francisco for conferences with the George T. Cameron and Zellerbach interests relative to their applications for hydro- electric development licenses then pending before the Fed eral Power Commission. He then went to Washington to take charge of the final preparations for the timber sale contracts and

subject to modification. Under present conditions, in order to relieve unemployment among Alaska loggers and to remove an abnormal stress from the log ging companies, temporary suspension of the prohibition a. gainst log exports might be ad- ris9ble. But that should be done with caution so that relief will be given to existing interests and not in such a manner as to encourage the establishment of new logging firms and used to foster a logging export broker age business.
 We do not in sense mean to question the sincerity or good faith of the signers of the cOm- municaticn to The Empire. We concede both. Yet we are con- vinced that the greatest good to the largest number of Alas kans will be served by holding the Territory's timber resources for use by local manufacturing
 1ants rather than in permit ting them to be reaped for the benefit of an industry that is located outside of the Territory and supports some other politi- cal unit than Alaska.

of spruce. But to do so would fOreclose forever our chances for G. neWsprint manufacturing in- dustry.
 New industries can only be based On natural resources. Southeast Alaska's are minerals, fish and timber. Gold, mined here, is likewise milled there. Fish caught here are prOceSsed ;n some form or other here. Our taxes are derived from them very largely. Likewise the tim Der that is cut here should be manufactured here, creating voricd industries which in turn will pay into the treasury of A iaska their fai1, share of Govern mental administrative costs and support their commensurate ad- ;;linistrat tive costs and support rheir commensurate proportion the Territorial population. Any other form of development is economically and industrially unsCund.
 We are convinced that the Forest Services n-eXporta- ton policy is Well-advised. In times Of adversity, however, even the Wisest Of policies are

 The permits were granted at the last possible minute by the Commission. At 5 D. m. on the day before the old Commission organization ceased to function the Secretaries of Agriculture and Interior, composing ma- jority of the old board, signed the licenses which gave the Cameron people and the Zeller- bach group authority to proceed with their power development programs.

LOW STAGE OF COLORADO HELD
NOT TO BE CAUSE OF ALARM

the seasonal flow and that Imperial
Valley has never made use of the
spring floods that reach the lower
river in June for late summer irri-
cation.
"As long as the Colorado is not
controlled by storage reservoirs, the
heavy flow of one month is not a
guarantee that the supply in the
next month will remain sufficient
for our needs" Dowd said.
AND, conversely, the absence of
a normal flood peak in June is no
indication that there will not be
rainfall in July or August some
where in the basin sufficient to re-
suit in an increased flow. AS a
matter of fact the reports from
Grand Canyon this week show the
river has increased 5000 second feet.
We will get the greater part of that
increase at lockwood gate within
the next 10 days. There has been
rainfall at some point in the basin
to cause this unprotected rise in the
river"
Dowd referred to records of the
discharge of the Colorado in past
years as a further evidence that the
volume of flow in June has little to
do with the volume passing the di-
version works in August and Sep
tember.
I'm 1923 the June discharge at
Yuma was 3,830,000 acre feet. In
August, long after the SHOWS Great
ing the June flow had melted, the
discharge totalled $4,000 acre feet.
Imperial Valley press., 1931-07-09

Summer rainfall is the important
factor which determines whether
Imperial Valley will have ample wa
ter supply in the late summer and
early fall months, declared M. j..
Dowd, chief engineer of the irriga-
ton district, today.
No one can predict with any de-
gree of certainty what the volume
of the Colorado river will be more
than two or three weeks in advance,
and to attempt to say that because
the June discharge is below normal
the August and September flow will
be unduly small, is to ignore the
fact that no one is able to tell
whether there will be rainstorms
this summer or not, DoWd said.
Aside from the factor of rainfall
there is the item of reduced acreage
in Mexico requiring water service
this year, an important considera-
ton in times of scarcity of water,
it is pointed out The gross demand
at the diversion works this summer
is materially lessened by the fact
that Mexico needs approximately
only tWo-thtrds of the amount of
water used in years Immediately
preceding.
Experience of engineers who
have the benefit of years of study
and records of the river proves that
it is unwise to predict very far in
the future regarding the flow of the
stream" Dowd said.
He pointed out that there are a
number Of elements concerned in
