DEP
 QUIET ON PL AN
 TO SELL CABLE
Secretary Hurley So Far Has Failed to Answer
 Delegates Letter

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov 19
 Especial Corresponaeni) - From telegrams and letters received by the Delegate it is evident that vari- GUS sections of the Territory are vsrys fearful lest the Washington Alaska Military Cable and Tele- graph System should be sold by the government to some corpora tion. Many may be interested ir knowing how this agitation started. On Setember 23, 1920, an Interde- partmental Communications Com mittee was organized with a per- sonnel that included representa- tives from the State, War, Navy, and sCommerce departments and the chief engineer of the Federal Radio Commission. This commit tee submitted various reports, one of which recommended the sale of the Alaska communication system. and such report was marked ap- proved by President Hoover early in 1881. As a result the Legisla- tive Commission of the War de- partment drew up a bill providing for the sale of the system, which was introduced in both Senate and House on February 18, 1881. These bills were referred to the commit teeon Military Affairs in the re- spective branches of Congress, but no hearings were had and no re- port was submitted, and when

 the bills died.
 The bill provided for the sale of
 the system, in part or as whole,
 after due advertisement, ito the
 highest responsible bidder" The
 latter term, the bill prescribed
 shall mean any person, corpora
 ton, partnership, or association who will agree to maintain and operate system of communication by cable, radio, telegraph and tela- phone between the continental limits of the United States and the Territory of Alaska, so as to give service which, in the judgment of the Secretary of War, shall be satisfactory to the people of the United States, including the Terri tory of Alaska, and who, in the judgment of the Secretary of War, has the ability to perform the contract of purchase and to main tain the service desired and pro- p0Sed to De maintained.
 Recent inquiry at the War De- partment elicited the fact that in preparing bills to be submitted to the Secretary of War the Legisla- tive Commission included a bill identical with the one presented last year for the sale of the Alas ka Communicating system. This particular bill, at this date, has not yet been endorsed by Secretary Hurley. Seeking to avert that ac- tion Delegate Wickersham on No- vember ? addressed plea to the Secretary, setting forth the pres ent value of the system and the general satisfaction it gives, and expressing the hope that the bill would not be introduced in the coming Congress. A reply to this letter has not yet been received.
 The head of the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture has notified the Delegate that there is due the Territory of Alas ka, as it's share of receipts from National forests for the fiscal year 1881, the sum of $1293137. This sum is derived from the Tongas5 reserve in Southeastern Alaska amounting to $10,16108, with it's forest area acres of 16,545,106; and $2,77029 from the Chugach Re- serve with is 4,799,361 acres The sums indicated are 25 per cent Of the total amounts received.
 Frank Speljack, merchant of Ophir, is very anxious to have his 22-year-old nephew, Erwin Dolonz, come over from Austria to get all English education and then help his uncle in his business affairs 1 He was under the impression that unless a special permit were se- cured the young man could not en- ter this country inside of ten years He wrote to the Delegate for as- sistance, which was gladly ren- dered, and it is expected the young man will be starting from Vienna within a few months. i
 The Delegate had taken up with the Interior Department the neces- i sity for lower freight rates on coal and for adequate coal loading facilities at Seward and later ad- dressed letter to Secretary Will bur on the subject. A reply re- ceived November IT indicates that the matter is being given serious consideration and will be further discussed after the arrival in Washington of Col.

 Dear Congressman:
 Your letter dated November fifth addressed to the Secretary of the Joint Interdepartmental Con- mittee, requesting early and fav- orable consideration by the Com mittee of the Federal building needs at Ketchikan and Anchorage, has been brought to my attention The committee is now preparing list of projects to be submitted to the next Congress, but it is not possible at this time to say defin- itely whether either of these two places will be included. However, your interest in the need for addi- tional facilities at the above-men- toned places will be kept in mind by the committee in it's considera- tion of projects to be included in the next list to be sent to Con- gross.

 Complaint has been received by the Delegate that one of the northern mail carriers has omitted one or two prescribed trips and that he further states that he can omit any trip he cares to provid- ing he asks no pay for them. The matter was taken up with the Sec ond Assistant Postmaster General, whose statement may be interest ing to all mail carriers. He says: Twice month service is author ized between these two ponits, and the carrier is not permitted to omit any trips, except such as may be impracticable because of severe weather or difficult travel condl tions. If all service required on this route was not performed such action as may be necessary will be taken to correct any irregulari- ties, after Investigation by our Su- pervisor of the Alaska service at Seattle"
 Although Ketchikan and Anchor age are included in the Public | building program of Congress and 1 $400,000 has been "allocated" for ! each building in the respective | towns, there is some danger that | the money necessary for the con- struction of these buildings may | not be appropriated by the com- ing session of Congress. An in- terdepartmenal committee makes the recommendation for construc- ton appropriation and this com mittee consists of Perry K. Heath, Asst. Secertary of the Treasury, James A.. Wetmore, Acting Suer- vising Architect; Leo c. Martin, Special Asst. to Asst. Secretary Heath; John w. Philip, Fourth Asst. Postmaster General. Dele gate Wickersham has urged the appropriations and early of the public build lngs at Anchorage and Ketchikan before different members of the committee, and in addition on Mo- vember 5th addressed a letter to the committee, saying among other things: There long has been and there is now a very decided need for these public buildings at An- chorage and Ketchikan.
