Alaska Is the Goat.
Anchorage Times.)


 Alaskans, who have been restricted to a single months hunting this fall a means of conserving the diminishing supply of waterfowl will find the British Columbia game regulations of 1931-32 in- interesting reading. Those regulations permit the killing of ducks and geese in the western district of the Province from October IT to the end of January period of approximately three and half months, and timed that there need be no waiting for the birds to arrive. The migratory ducks and geese are there now in large numbers and those that that survive the flight across Canada will find sportsmen awaiting them when they reach the State of Washington, where the will open November 15 which encourages the belief that all of the conserving is being done at the expense of Alaskans and more especially those Alaskans who make their homes in the Southeastern part of the Territory for there the closed before the ducks and geese arrived their journey to the winter feeding grounds.
 It has been announced at Washington that the Presidential restriction must stand for this year, notwithstanding the fact that it is dscrminatory but it should not be permitted to go unchalenged The attention of Washington should be directed to the unfairness of the prohibitory order as it app!ss to Alaska with view to bringing about better understanding of the waterfowl situation in the various districts of the Territory. If nothing is done to prevent it. another may find the situation bad as it is at present. It is not too early to think about what may happen a year hence.

PATENTED PROCESS REMOVES GUESSWORK
 FROM ROASTING
Automatic Control of Heat h. sures Exactness. Hills Bros. Coffee Has Matchless Flavor

There are many risks attached to roasting coffee by ordinary meth ods. For man must guess when the roast is right. If he misses his guess, the flavor of the coffee usually suffers.
 Hills Bros. eliminated guesswork when they invented and patented Controlled Roasting-an automatic process that develops the fullest flavor in every berry of the blend!
 As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow .. a little at a time :. so the unvarying flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by Controlled Roasting = the patented process that roasts evenly, continuously c little at c time. Automatic con- trol of heat and flow of coffee does what ordinary methods often fail to do. Every pound is roasted to the same degree of perfection, and every pound has the same fine flavor.
 To preserve this delicious flavor, Hills Bros. pack their coffee in vacuum cans. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is removed and kept out of these cans. Ordinary, "air-tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee can't go stale! Order some today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trademark on the can.

ALAskA's NEED

In his annual report to the secretary of the interior, Gov. George A. Parks of Alaska says lthat more than 100000 seals are in the government herd on ! the Pribilof Islands. When the first conservation measures were taken, twenty-one years ago, it Iwas estimate that the herd had dWindled to 132,OO0 seals. Dur ing the last fiscal year the value Of the skins marketed was $621.- |767
 Not all the conservation poli- cies of the federal government have prospered as well. Had pe- lagi sealers and private hunters been permitted to pursue their destructive calling, there would be no sealsskin coats today, ex- cept such as the kitties might provide.
 It is worthy of note that the governor of Alaska has recOn- mended some important changes in governmental policies this year. He would reopen the Yu- kon River to commercial fishing: repeal restrictions on the loca Y ton of placer claims, end declare an open season on fur-bearir.g 2 animals to relieve hard-presse4 trappers.
 Whether Congress will listen to Governor Parks sound advice can only conjectured. It long has been the habit of the legis ' lative branch of the government to pass laws affecting the wei fare and progress of the north land and then. to leave them long after the need has passed and when everybody would have them repealed.-Seattle Times.

SOVIET ADMITS
 PLAN LAGGING

Admission that Russian indus try has failed to fulfill complete iy the 1881 part of the five-year .rlan was made by Pravda, semi official newspaper. Pravda add ed:
 However, we learned to build machinery in 1881, thus freeing ourselves from machinery inn ports, and we solved the syn thetic rubber problem. We also finished the third year schedule for tractors, oils, and electro technical machines.
 But the quality in many lines was most poor. This blot on the Soviet escutcheon must be removed in 1882"
 Pravda declared failure of the transportation system to uphold it's end of the schedule was the chief reason for the disappoint- ing results. Failure of many or ganizations to introduce cost ac- counting systems and otherwise adapt themselves to the new order of things as laid down by Josef Stalin's July speech also contributed.

Senator Shotridge Of Cali fornia, starting for Washington, where his colleague, Senato- Hiram Johnson, is already mix. ing anti-administration political medicine, says that he, Shot, ridge, will urge congress to re- strict Filipino immigration. Since it is the policy of this country to accede to the demand that Asiatic competition be kept out, Senator Shotridge does not see why an exception should be made in favor of Filipinos, mere ly because Uncle Sam rescued them from Spain, and spent many millions giving them pub lie schools and good roads.
 
 American sugar growers think they should be protected from free competition of labor in the Philippines, represented by ad- mission of Filipino sugar to this country tax free of tariff.
