HALIBUT BOATS
 SLOW IN GOING
 TOBANKSACAIN
Many Vessels Lost Lots of
 Gear on Their First Trips of Season

Vessels of Juneau's halibut fleet are slow in getting away to the banks again. Their first trips of the season resulted in some heavy losses of equipment, and many of the boats are still busy in putting themselves in readiness for resum- ling operations.
 Stormy weather characterized the opening of the season. Reports of captains are to the effect that losses ranged as high as ,12 skates of gear with some of the craft.
 Three boats took bait and ice yesterday and left for the banks. The vessels were the Dixon, Capt. Emil Samuelson; Hyperion, Capt. Oscar Oberg, and the Ina J., Capt Fred Naidal.
 The Tern, Capt. Andrew Ros- nes, will soon depart for the fish ing grounds. She has been sub jected to such a thorough over haul that it virtually amounts to the rebuilding of the craft.
 The Sitka, Capt. William Dou- cett, and the Norland, Capt. Thom- as Sandyik, which recently took fresh halibut to Seattle on fish ermen accounts, are on their way back to Juneau. Their arrival IS expected in a few days. They will be sent to the banks again to take catches from fishing boats for transportation south.

Federal buildings, the pressure on the Supervising Architects office has been tremendous. AS result many of the projected buildings have not even been designed, and the claimants must patiently await their turn. There is absolutely no politics in this delay, as was evil denced the other day when Sena- tor Hiram Bingham, a strong Ad- ministration supporter, started tH find out why there was so much complaint from the different sec tions of his own state.
 He learned that over $5,000,000 had been appropriated for Connecticut projects during the past three years, but that only one of the smallest, a $14O,OOOO building at Mill ford was under construction. AnG this notwithstanding the policy of the Administration to relieve un- employment.
 The Alaska delegate has octn do- ing everything possible to urge ac- tion on the completion of plans and specifications so that bids could 5e asked for the construction of the $45OOOO Federal building at Fair banks.
 But there has been one delay af- ter another, the latest because of a suggestion that the soil at Fair banks would not allow the construc- tion of a concrete building. But this idea has finally been set aside ana assurance is given that the adver- tising for bids would be sent out in a few days.
 * * *
 In an Alaska case that was before the General Land Office last week it was made clear that where an entryman failed to make his home stead his real home for seven months out of a year for three years during a continuous resi- dence of five years, he forfeited his his right to a patent. The fact that the claimant may have been seri- ously ill much of the time and pfy- sically unable to reside on his homestead, unless he had been committed to an insane asylum, is not considered a valid excuse for lack of residence. Where illness has been the preventative cause for failure to secure patent an oppor tunity is given for another filing by the same person.
