A|APL LANE FATALITY
 NEAR KIT CHIkAN

Steve Selig, widely known Alaska Ketchikan cannery man, was killed and two other residents of Ketchikan receiv ed injuries of varying serious ness in a plane crash occurring last Sunday on Salmon Lake, a short distance from Kasaan on Prince of Wales Island. The in- jured included c. J. Alexand- CT, and Al Dano, prominent First City residents, both of whom are connected with the fish canning industry. Alex ander had one arm and both legs broken, each in two plac- es, while Dano's injuries are so serious that he may not re- cover, Jim Dodson, pilot of the ill-fated plane, also sus- tained a broken leg. The three cannery-men were on a fish ing trip to the lake.
 The accident occurred when the plane started to return to Ketchikan Sunday afternoon and the survivors were not To- cated by a searching plane un- til Monday afternoon. Dodson reported the plane either hit a pocket or the motor quit when about 100 feet up and sideslipped, striking small island in the lake.

Cutter Cygan Transferred

The U. s. Coast Guard cut ter Cygan has been transferred out of Alaska waters and will be relieved by another vessel, according to reports from Ju- neau.
 The removal of the vessel from the Alaska service is said to have been the result of in- vestigations held here several months ago based on charges of misconduct by members of the Cygan crew while in this port. That it was punitive in character is indicated by the commander and all petty of- ficers being reduced in rank, the skipper, one Halvorsen, be- ing reduced 15 years in senior ity,, according to the reports.

Bering Sea Shortening
 Life of the World

The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, thru w. D. Lambert, gives out the strat- ling information that the life of the world is being cut in half by Boring Sea, between Alaska and Siberia. The inn plication of calculation by MT. Lambert indicates that the TO- tation of the earth on it's axis is slowing down, and that ap- proximately nine billion years hence the globe will make a complete revolution only once a month and the month itself will be much longer. This condition will be brought about by the accommodating eff fleets of friction by the tides. But in the meantime Alaska has quite a few more serious problems that must first be worked out.

PIONEERS MAKE FINE
 R o A D IMPROVEMENT

Members of the Pioneer order are completing another fine contribution to the local highway system by wid+ ening and grading 200 feet or so Of roadway extending west from Pioneer Hall to Premier Avenue. The new highway has been cleared to a width of 50 feet and is being nicely graveled and leveled The work is being done by volunteer labor entire ly and is fine complication of the pioneer spirit and the progres- siveness of the Pioneer order, which has already provided the town with one of the best public halls in Alaska and numerous other beneficial lm- provements. Those giving their time and labor to the work are B. B. Smih, Thomas Kelly, F. E. Charleton, D. Engstad, L. Watkins, Geo. Bum, T. H. Evans, Wm. McGrew and Paul Oien. Mir.

Work Renewed on Salmon
 River Road Improvement

Work on the Salmon River road improvement contract was renewed this week by the Johnson-Gardner Company, of Portland, following the arriv- al Sunday of Curtis Gardner, junior member of the contract ing firm, and small crew of men from the south.
 The work involves both wid- ening and elevation of the Sol mon River highway roadbed between Nine-mile and Elev- en-mile under a contract let by the Bureau of Public Roads, and will continue throughout most of the summer season.

RYDER FLOOD PROTECTION
 SURVEY IS COMPLETED

The flood control survey, authorized by the federal gov ernment with the object of pro- tecting Hyder from the en- roachments of Salmon River, was completed this week by associate engineer c. J. Truitt of the U. s. Army Engineers office in Juneau.
 As outlined to the Herald by MT. Truitt, the work will in- clude not only the survey of the area in which improve ments are contemplated but also complete estimate of costs of such improvements as may be decided upon by the Engineers office as best fitt- ing the flood protection re- quirements. This work will re- quire some time and when completed will be submitted to the War Department En- gineers' office in Washington for approval.
 In reply to a query regard ing the probable cost of install ing an adequate flood control system, MT. Truitt said he could not say with any degree of accuracy what the amount would be but expressed the view that the cost would not be quite as high as estimated by Major Gillette in his pre- liminary report on the flood situation last year. The amount estimated by Major Gillette was S80,000, of which S8,000 would be borne by local inter ests.
 MT. Truitt was also unable to indicate the probable char acter of the improvements, be- yond that they would probab- ly include diversion works of piling, with brush mats weight ed with rock between, to turn the river into new courses and prevent it's return to former shifting channels.
 In the event that an appro- priation for the work is auth orized by Congress, it will al so include an amount for an nual maintenance expense of the improvement for several years, MT. Truitt said.

PLANNING ID ASSIST
 ALASKA DEvELOPM

A systematic and persistent effort is about to be put forth by the Interior Department to arouse the interest of the min ing and investment forces of the United States to the great industrial resources and oppor- tunities in Alaska. At the same time plans have been complet- ed for the expenditure of $250,000 appropriated by Con- gress flor continuation of min- eral and other resources of Alaska" along the Alaska Railroad. In addition to the amount named, the Geological Survey will expend their usual amount of $65,000, divided over various sections of the Territory.
 Wide publicity Is being given to the purposes as outlined by the Interior Department. Over 2,500 newspapers in the Unit ed States on April 20, set forth the objects sought to be attain ed. In addition various excur- sion agencies and Chambers of Commerce, from the Atlantic to the Pacific states, will take the matter up with thousands of individuals, in the effort to promote excursions to the north of men with capital to invest and who might give aid in the encouragement of pros- pectors and mining men to go to the north. This commend able work of publicity is being directed by Ernest Walker Sawyer, who is conversant with the resources of Alaska and vitally interested in their development.
 One of the major projects in the investigation about to start will be an examination of the Anthracite Ridge coal field in the vicinity of the Alaska Railroad. The sum Of $6O,O00 has been allocated to Willow Creek, Fairbanks, Cop per Mountain, Girdwood, Kan tishna, and Moose Pass dis tricts, and a party will oper- ate in each of these areas.
 Four parties will do prelim-
 nary exploratory examination, at a cost of S24,000, in the West Fork of Chulitna, Valdez Creek, Talkeetna Mountains and Yentna districts. There has been $5,000 set aside to Investigate, test, and report on non metallic minerals, such as clay, limestone, mari, etc., in the railroad belt.

 MT. Fitzgerald concluded his re- marks with an urge for local action to induce early construction of the International highway to Alaska. de- claring that it was needed by the United States more than Canada. Ample American funds are available for the project, the speaker said and could be obtained by British Col umbia in loans at low interest rates and be repaid from earnings of the highway.
 MT. Fitzgerald's address was high ly interesting throughout and was warmly applauded.

telegram from the Chamber of Commerce regarding activities on the company's big hydro electric project on Davis River. The message stated the company is at present going into details of selecting a gen eral contractor to undertake the construction work involved but gave no intimination as to when active work would be- gin. President Haddon point ed out that such large projects require time for perfecting ar arrangements and expressed con- fidence that the company is going ahead as speedily as possible. Attention was also called to the posting of go = ernment notices in the post office requesting notice of any objections to the company re- moving sand and gravel from points in the vicinity of the power site.
 A letter from the proposed Premier Stewart -Hyder International Celebra- ton committee was read, stating that arrangements are going forward sue cessfully and requesting an advance of S20 for secretarial expenses. This amount was voted.
 Receipts of S10 and a treasury bal ance of S10563 were reported by the secretary,
 MT. Truitt was requested to make a statement regarding the Salmon river flood survey and briefly out lined the procedure involved, in ad- dition to expressing his appreciation of the reception and assistance giv- en during his stay in camp.
 Deputy Marshal Harding also spoke briefly, expressing his liking for his new post and created considerable merriment by saying that he usually refrained from attending gatherings similar to this for fear he would be asked to make a speech
 MT. Gardner referred to his road construction activities on Salmon river and said he was glad to be back again. as his work here was always pleasant. He also volunteered to be- come a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
 H. P. Gibson president of the Stewart town council expressed pleas ure in participating in the Chamber meeting and voiced confidence in the success of the proposed International celebration.
 S. P. Fitzgerald, veteran mining man, said seeing Stewart citizens participating in the meetings of an Alaska organization made it look like a friendship party and provided a pleasant indication of the genuine in terest in the welfare of the whole dis trict. Mir. Fitzgerald praised the min eral possibilities of the district, cit ! ing the Premier, Big Missouri and other properties as evidence of the mineral probabilities, and said out side interest in the camp will return when silver comes back. He also discussed the silver remonetiZation question, saying that price of 40 cents would not greatly benefit this or the Idaho camps, but asserted that 1 GO cent silver would provide an oppor- i tunity for New York and London l financial interest to trade in it.
 The proposal of Hon, Arthur Mei- 1 ghan to increase use of silver in Can 1 ada by coinage of S2 silver pieces should be warmly endorsed, Mr Fitzgerald said, and the Hyder Cham. Der of Cemmmerce should urge the

CHAMBER COMMERCE
 HOLDS DINNER MEET

of the Hyder Chamber ot Commerce was held in the Ideal Cafe Wednesday even- ing and attracted upward of twenty-five members of the organization from both sides of the line. The attendants al so included a number of wis itors, including W. J. Craw- ford, of Stewart, deputy U. S. Marshal Warren s. Harding, Curtis Gardner, of Portland Ore, and c. J. Truitt, visit ing war department engineer E. D. Haddon, president of the Chamber of Commerce presid- ed.
 Among the business matters of general public interest pre- sented during the meeting was a report of special committee on fire pumping apparatus headed by N. M. Traversy. This disclosed that new type of portable engine attachable to an automobile could be landed here for S360. Another proposal involved the purchase of an engine from A. J. May CT at a cost of $90.00 which could be similarly employed for fire pumping purposes. Cutting the committee findinga president Haddon said this would provide an Al pump ing unit and the only other eX- pense would be the cost of the hose. MT. Haddon referred to a proposal to secure one of the old Bureau of Public Roads gravel trucks for use as a fire wagon and hose cart, to which the engine could be attached. Ample water for fire fighting in almost every section of town could be secured by sinking stump holes in the creek run ming through the townsite, MT. Haddon said. After discussing plans to secure from the Seat tie fire department discarded high pressure hose suitable for local low pressure require ments, and for securing one of the B. P. R. trucks, Mr. Had don said it was high time de- cisive action was taken. Funds, he said, could be secured through giving dances. MT. Haddon then appointed a per manent fire apparatus com mittee consisting of MT. Tray ersy, chairman, Edgar Prov inse and E. L. Dale to carry on the work.
 The chairman also reported statement by w. w. Metcalf that he recently had inter- viewed forest service officials relative to the projected Band ed mountain pack trail and had been assured that work was expected to start when the snow is gone.
 Secretary H. R. Cross also read a letter from the forest service relative to the propos- ed trail to serve mines along the east slope of Salmon val ley, which said the bureau would be glad to keep the mat ter in mind but did not expect the work could be done this year. President Haddon ex- pressed high appreciation of the work done by Messrs. O.. F. Hill, B. B. Smith and Arthur Moa, the committee in charge of this project, and also ex- tended the thanks of the Chamber.
