Imported Labor on Road
 Contracts Is Protested

Protesting against the em- ployment of nonresident lab or on government road work in that section this summer, the Ketchikan Chamber of Com merce recently wired to Gov. ernor Parks, c. H. Flory, ex- officio commissioner for the de- partment of commerce, and M. D. Williams, district commiss- toner for the bureau of public roads, requesting them to take action to prevent the work be- ing given to outside jobbites.
 It was learned, however, that there is no legal method by which the employment of lab on government contracts can be restricted to local residents.
 According to a statement on the subject by MT. Williams, the hands of the bureau of pub- lie roads officials are tied in such matters. The successful bidder, if he meets the specifi- cations for the project, can hire his labor to suit his own con- venience and there is nothing that can be done to require preference be given to local people.

TROLLER TAX HELD
 VALID BY HARDING

One of the most important cases to come before an Alas kan court in years was decided last week, when federal judge Justin w. Harding ruled that the nonresident troller's tax of $250 imposed by the Alaska legislature is not excessive.
 The case was brought before the court on an injunction by Wood Freeman, of the Boat Owners Association of Tacoma, wherein he sought to enjoin the Territory from collecting the tax on the ground that it is excessive and confiscatory. In his opinion Judge Harding said that inasmuch as the plaintiff had failed to prove the tax prohibitive he would find for the Territory.
 The case has been through the court of appeals once and was returned to Alaska for re- trial.
 The decision means that To-
 
 cal trollers will be protected from outside trollers coming into Alaskan waters with their fishing outfits and returning to the States with their earnings at the close of the season.

The his toric craft has been bought by Rear Admiral Richard E. By rd, who plans to sail in her next fall to the Antarctic. The city of Oakland, Calif., was preserving the vessel for a ma- rine museum, but decided to give it to Byrd.

Protests Suspension Of
 Alaska R. R. Service

Protest has been made by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce against a proposal originating in Washington that operation of the Alaska Railroad be sus- pended between November 1, 1882, and March 1, 1883. The protest was addressed to the Secretary of the Interior and declared that the closing of the line would defeat the purpose for which the railroad was con- structed- to provide trans portation from the coast to the interior throughout the year, in addition to working a great hardship on the people of the railroad section and interior Alaska by cutting them off from transportation, movement of supplies, and other other privileges.
 Light traffic and expense of keeping the road in operation were given as reasons for the proposed suspension.

SAYS SILVER PLANK
 VICTORY FOR WEST

Declaflng that the silver plank in the democratic party
 platform is a victory for the
 western states" Senator Key Putnam, of Nevada, in a recent press statement, said the silver situation now looks more en- couraging" to him than it ever has in the 19 years he has been in the senate.
 Pointing to the provisions of the silver plank that "We ad- vocate a sound currency to be preserved at all hazards; and an international monetary conference called on the invi- tation of our government to consider the rehabilitation of silver and related questions" Senator Pittman said that the democratic plank satisfies all sections of the country and those democrats who had an abiding fear that the efforts to- ward rehabilitation of silver meant some form of attack of a destructive nature upon the present monetary system.
 Again" the senator said, "it is emphatic in it's promise that ous government, under a demo- cratic administration, will iss- ue the invitation for an inter- national conference, not alone Ito consider the position of sill ver," as stated in the republic an platform, but for ''the re- mobilization of silver," as stat ed in the democratic platform. The plank assures that a con- ference will be held, and also insures that the representatives of our government at such con- ference will be in sympathy with the purpose proposed to be obtained, and will include representatives who are not on- ly in sympathy with the pur- pose of bringing about the re mobilization of silver, but who | also understand the subject, he l said.
 Senator Pittman recalled l that an amendment to the sec ond deficiency bill provided 1 $40,000 to defray the expen- ses of our government in such a conference and said this will make it possible for the presi- dent to appoint members of the senate and house and econ- omists in civil life as members of such a conference, in addit- ion to representatives of the executive department. This is of great importance, he de- clared, as the financial and ec- onomic advisors of the present administration "have disclosed that they are not in sympathy with any effort for the rehabil- itation of silver"
 Tt is to be hoped that the strong pronouncement in the democratic plank will convince President Hoover of the exped- iency, if not of the wisdom, of issuing the invitation for such conference. Every member of the senate, as far as I know, is in favor of calling such conference by our govern ment," he said.

SECURES
 GOVERNMENT FLOUR

As a result of efforts initiated
 by the Hyder Chamber of Com
 merce, assisted by Postmaster
 Oren F. Hill and U. s. Com-
 missioner w. c. Arnold, of
 Ketchikan, Hyder has been in- cluded in the list of Alaska
 towns receiving an apportion- ment of flour made from wheat given recently by the govern ment to the American Red Cross for relief purposes.
 A consignment of 40 sacks of the flour arrived Wednes- day evening from Ketchikan on the Bureau of Fisheries motorship Murre. The ship ment was consigned to MT. Hill, who has been designated as local receiving agent by the Red Cross officials at Ketchi- kan. The sacks are of stand a r d size, containing 24R pounds each, making the total weight of the shipment nearly 1000 pounds. The shipment
 
 was brought over by the Mur- re without charge, thereby sparing the Chamber of Com merce payment of freight charges.
 The flour is to be distributed by a special committee of the Chamber of Commerce under regulations laid down by the Red Cross and will be appor- toned only to individuals who are in actual need of food The | distributing committee il.:: the Red Cross receiving agent, | MT. Hill, Holger Johnson, N. 1 M. Traversy and Chas. F. | Sandford, president of the Chambers board of directors.
 Each application for flour submitted to the committee i will be closely investigated 1 and apportionments will be made only on the basis of act ual requirements; as it is es- sential that the flour be made to go as far as possible in ord CT that all who may need it will be able to secure a supply when it is required.
 Although the question has not been definitely determined as yet, Chamber of Commerce | officials hope to receive not only additional flour supplies but also other food supplies which it is understood are be- ing distributed through the Red Cross. It is reported that supplies of sugar have been distributed at some points, in addition to certain varieties of canned goods, and efforts will De made to secure local appor- ,ionments if possible.
 In view of the situation creat- ed by the almost complete ab- ; 'ence of local employment this the judicious and careful distribution of flour and such other food supplies as nay be secured by the Cham per will help greatly in pre- n t i n g possible distress turing the coming winter. AL .hough there is no actual want 1ere at present, a survey by Chamber of Commerce offic- als indicates that there may be
