 The Juneau Guides of Southeastern Alaska writes a letter opposing the suggestion of Stewart Edward White that Chichagof island, north of Sitka, be declared national park and game reserve. It is contended that .Chicha. gof is not only splendid brown bear, section but is highly mineralized with, producing. mines, Instantaneous can- neries and sites, great lumber possi- bilities, and that the.,. residents of Southeastern Alaska, .>sportsmen and businessmen, do. not want to see it turned into a. reservation. particular ly as there is Glacier Bay. National Monument about 20. miles from Chi chagof island.
 William Roberts, who has ,320 acres good homestead land across the Mat anuska river and 160 acres close to Palmer, feels that he is getting pret- ty aged and wants his. nephew, Will liam T. Hughes, to come over from Wales and help him to care for the property. But whens the young man applied for a passport at Liverpool he was refused because of failure to give substartiated evidence ef his inten- tion. The matter was referred to the Delegate, who took it up with the State Department, and it is expected that soon William will be. crossing the Atlantic. l.
 Complaint has been made by some of the shipbuilding companies in Southeastern Alaska that construc- tion of government vessels frequently goes to Seattle which makes it diff cult to maintain the several marine ways in the North, which are so bad ly needed in cases of emergency. The particular instance cited was the re- cent bids for. furnishing two 24-foot launches for use at isolated light sta- tions and for whish the successful bidder in Seattle was less than $2OO under the next lowest bid, from Alas ka. G. R. Putnam, commissioner of lighthouses, explains that there is no legal authority for acceptance of other than the lowest bid meeting the requirements of the specifications, which in the instance referred to stip- ulated that delivery of the lahnches shohld be at Ketchkan. Section 37O7 of the Revised Statutes of the United States has freqhently been held by accounting officers as giving all in- dustries equal rights to compete for government business, and at the same time secure to the government the benefits which flow fro mcompetition.

 The Ketchikan Chamber. of Com merce is intensely interested in the ecort to induce the Forest Service to build trail up the valley of the Unuk river, so as to make it possible for prospectors to get in and out of the we'll known mineral region at the headquarters of the Unuk-Le riv- CTS. A portion of this arm lies on the Canadian side, and assurance has been given that officials across. the boundary are ready to build the DOT ton. of the. trail, over which they would have. jurisdiction.

 Last Tuesday afternoon the first public ceremony was held on the magnificent new Memorial bridge, in commemoratingv the death of one of Alaska's oldest pioneers, Conrad Siem, who died in Washington ..on May 30.. The deceased had made. B written request that his remains be cremated and from the new bridge thrown to the waters of the Potomac river. His wishes were carried out, and in the presence of a few. Alas kans and other personal friends the Delegate from Alaska, Judge Wicker sham, paid fitting tribute to the sturdy character, and unselfish work POf the man who had done much for his adopted land in its early. days. Early in life Captain Siem emigrated from Germany and became a natural ized American citizen n San Fran cisco. In. the early part of 1890 :. he located as the managing owner of a trading post at Point Barrow, the .ex- creme northerly. part of Alaska, and first conceived the idea of exporting reindeer from Siberia, which was later carried out by Rev. Sheldon Jackson, general agent of the Bureau of Education. Captain Siem was a prominent character during the early days of the Nome development, and
 lived in various sections of the Terri tory until about fifteen years ago, when he came to Washington, and died here at the age of n years. He leaves nephew in this country, re- siding at New York.
 The native people of Alaska and vicinity. have united in a petition to the Bureau of Indian Affairs praying that hospital be established at Ret chikan for the benefit of the natives of that section and the west. coast. There is at present a splendid. gov ernment hospital at Juneau, but, the natives of the southerly section de- clare that the distance and cost makes. it prohibitive to receive med ical attention there.
