All Juneau records for January temperature were exceeded by a slight margin early yesterday morn ing when the southeast wind de- scending from the snCws of Mount Roberts at from seven to fifteen miles an hour, forced the local temperature up to 50.5 degree s, within an hour after reaching the lowest point of the current month, and exceeding the previous high record of January ', 1926, by one tenth degree. The lowest tenn perature of this month was regis tered about 2 o'clock am. when the reading was 33.4 degrees Under the influence of light easterly and northeasterly winds, the temperl- ture remained near that figure un- til 1 o'clock when the wind shifted suddenly and increased moderately. The highest temperature wa S reached shortly before o'clock, when with shift of wind to east erly the temperature dropped rap- idly to below forty degrees. With further increase in the wind velocity from the east, the temperature again rose rapidly to 46 degrees and ranged between that figure and 42 degrees during the remainder of the day.

THE|LE SALARY IS BOOSTED BY ROUSE MEASURE
Secretary's Pay Raised tc $4,400 - Boost for
 Governor Defeated

A raise of $500 annually, from $3 800 to $4,400, is given to the Secretary of Alaska under the pro- visions of a measure passed yes terday by the House of Representa- tives, according to a wire received by Karl Theile, Secretary.
 The bill, introduced and spon- sored by Representative Maas, of Minnesota, originally fixed the sal ary at $500 the same amount that is paid to the Secretary of Hawaii. It is believed the, Senate will act favorably on the measure.
 Governors Raise Beaten
 The Maas bill came up for con- sideration in the House on. Decem- Der Is, on the Consent Calendar. At that time it was carried over because Of Delegate 5utherland's active opposition to an increase in salary to the Governor of Alaska.
 A bill passed by the Senate rais- ed the annual pay of the latter of- ficer to s10O00 It preceded the Maas bill on the Consent Calendar
 When it was called for consider ation, the Congressional Record of December 15 gave the following
 MT. Sutherland: I object"
 MT. Stafford: had grave doubts as to whether we should level up the salary of the Governor of Alaska to make it the same as that of the Governor of Hawaii. My position was that the responsi- bilities were different; that those in Hawaii were much heavier than those in Alaska" fs
 MT. Sutherland: I object" Cramton Blocks Measure When a minute later the Maas measure was called for considera- ton, MT. Cramton, who had favored the other bill, blocked it's passage. After a short debate he declared:
 "In view of the action of the Delegate from Alaska in objecting to an increase for the Governor, who is a very able official and has heavy responsibilities, I shall have to object, unless the gentle man moves to have it passed over"
 To prevent such objection, MT. Mass then moved to have the bill passed over for the time being without prejudice.

EUROPE STILL PUTS HER TRUST IN LARGER
ORNAMENTS.

4 CCORDING press reports there many highly
interesting and important questions discussed at the
sessions of the International Chamber of Commerce held
Washington during the past week One of the most
teresng interviews given was by George Theuns re-
firing president of the chamber and for many prime
minister of Belgium
Mr. Theuns expressed surprise that the American peo-
pie connecting military disarmament with
war debts He takes the position that political the
other economic question. Increased expenditures for
ornaments necessary he says for the that the
Grafton and possible reduction of debts he considers
wholly economic question.
That of course is the European point of view 1t is
difficult for the American to admit that it has much
strength If the and suffering nations of
Europe would only forget their insane national hareds
they could very we'll get along with much less the
of ornaments If they would putting added mil
terials, they could much easier pay their time obga
tons large part of which incurred after the
over.
America is in peculiarly happy position Ii lives in
peace with its neghbors of either side, There
standing national hared just borders
fear for security We haven't centuries of his
tory back of agumen and make bitter hatred
with the idea that it glorious thing conquer another

PRIMITIVE AREA SET ASIDE
IN MISSION MOUNTAINS

A sample of wilderness conditions as
they exist today in the Northwest will
be perpetuated for future generations
by the establishment of a so-called
primitive area" by the forester, on the
east side of the Mission Range in Mon
tana, it is announced by Evan w. Kel-
ley. regional forester at Missoula. This
area on the headwaters of the Swan
river, includes some of the most spec
tacular scenery in the state, with pre-
cipitous mountains, glaciers, many al
pine lakes, and flower covered alpine
meadows Grizzly bears and mountain
goats are known to be plentiful in the
region Although one-fifth of the area
is timbered, the forest is largely con-
fined to the lower slopes Of the noun
tains and is considered chiefly valuable
for watershed protection. The region
has been little explored and is unex-
! plotted by any modern development
j except few foot trails.

tional forest land to its highest use
In an interview he stated:
Under recent regulation these
portions of the national forests which
are particularly adaptable to this kind
of recreational use are to be designated
to be kept as near as possible in their
primitive condition. This is in accord
ance with a growing public sentiment
for tracts to be left in primitive state
to afford opportunity for future gen.
erations to know what an untrammeled
wilderness is like.
Local people are much interested in
the Mission Range and its preserva-
ton much as Nature made it. No roads
will be built into or through the Mis-
sion Mountain area, and no horse trails
for recreationists except to base camps
fro mwhch foot expeditions may start.
Foot trails, however, will be marked,
or built where necessary No private
structures will be allowed, although
rude shelters for the accommodation of
mixers may be provided. Stock graz
ing will be restricted to saddle and
pack animals used by travellers in

horse trails Hunting is to be pro-
hibited. The landing of hydroplanes on
any Of the lakes will not be allowed
except in cases of emergency
1.-THE region even at the present time
has been little explored and remains
unexpected by any modern develop
ment except few trails. A similar
