ALASKA BONE DRY LAW

Since the bill to repeal the Alaska Bone Dry Law was intro duced in the House by the Dele gate on Dec. 9th last, but three protests against the enactment Of this bill have been received from Alaska, and they were from two families. The opposi- tton has been from organizations with representatives in Wash ington. The committee that has held several hearings on the bill, the last being on Feb, 16, has practically decided not tr favorably report the bill. They are considering, however, favor ably reporting that certain a- mendments be enacted to the Alaska Bone Dry Law so as to bring it more in harmony with the VolStead Act.

COL. JAMES sTEEsE

One of the visitors to Wash ington on Feb. 18th was Col James G. Steese, whose head quarters are now in New York City, from whence he travels to different parts of the globe in the interest of a large oil com pany. He has just returned from Europe, coming via Australia and the Panama Canal consuming 40 days in travel. It will be remem bered that Col. Steese was President of the Alaska Road Commission from 1920 to 1927, with headquarters at Juneau. While in Washington, he was shown copy of the Seward Daily Gateway containing the article by Major D. c. Brownell Oil the possible invasion of Alas ka by the Japanese, the Col. in- dicated that he might again be recalled to active duty in the Territory to help repel an invad- ing force.

FISH HATCHERY

The Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce is anxious to secure the erection -of@a fisheries labor atory in their town and is urg- ing Commissioner O'Malley to i've serious consideration to the advantages offered by Ketchikan IS the logical location for such a station. The Act of May 21, 1880, authorizes appropriations fcr a number of stations and laboratories in the United States, under a five year plan. It au- thorizes an appropriation during the fiscal year beginning July l, 1884, such amounts as may be necessary for the establishment if a fishery laboratory in the Territory of Alaska, at cost not to exceed $50,000. Commissioner O'Malley states that because ot the financial conditions there has been a slowing down of the program and for the present year a complete cessation of all new construction authorized under the Act referred to. It is quite unlikely, therefore, that projects authorized for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1884, can be undertaken in that year, ir- asmuch as projects authorized for prior years must be given first consideration.

provided by the Government
 when an equal amount was pro-
 vided for these purposes by the Territory, pr. J. c. Wright, Sec
 retary of the Federal Board, ex- pressed a doubt as to the Board approving a bill to extend these benefits to Alaska until a more thorough investigation was S made as to Alaska's needs. He suggested that the situation oe first studied by a competent in- vestigator, favored by the Gov ernor and the Legislature. The matter was then referred by the Delegate to Governor Parks, who conferred with Commissioner of Education Keller, after which the Governor wrote:
 After a thorough discussion we decided that it would be much better if the matter is ap-.- preached along the lines sug- gested by Dr. Wright. Accord ingly We will take up the matter with the next Legislature and re- quest authority to engage the services of a representative ap- pointed by the Director of Vo- cational Education. If the find ings are favorable, the matter will then be presented to you for appropriation action" It is ex- pected that the cost to the Ter ritory to have the survey made would be about six or seven Hundred dollars.

SALARIES OR COMMISSION

It looks now as though Dele gate Wickersham's bill to pro- vide salaries instead of fees, to te paid U. s. Commissioners in Alaska, will not pass at this seS- sion of Congress because of the general determination of both political parties to keep down appropriations. The House com- mittee on Judiciary referred the bill to the Department of Justice and received the following eX pression from Attorney General William D. Mitchell:
 "The Department has for some time been considering le gislation to put Commissioners ir. Alaska on a salary basis and is inclined, as a general proposi- tion, to look upon the plan with approval. However, it would re- quire a new appropriation to cover the salaries and expenses of Commissioners in an amount estimated at $175,000. Against this there would be offset ap- rroximately $37,0O0 per annum (fees now received by Commis- sioners from sources other than the United States), an aggregate of $46,000, leaving net addi- tional cost to the Government of $129,000. In view of the increased cost to the Government which this measure would involve, and because I do not regard it's en- actment now as absolutely eS- sential and in view of the pre- sent financial situation, I re- commend against it's enactment at this time"

 Washington Nous Letter By Will A. Steel
GAME RESERVES OPPOSED

Senator Wolcott, chairman of the Special Committee on Con- servation of Wild Life, has indi- cated that there will be no legis- lation this session toward creaG- ing either Admiralty, Chichagof or Baranof Islands into a brown bear sanctuary or a National Park. Agitation, however, along this line continues and yester- day a Senator inquired of the Delegate whether it was really tue that the Government was arranging to sell Admiralty Is- land. One of his constituents had reported that this was to be done. But of course no one in Washington had heard of any such move.
