SUCCESS TO DIR. SMITH.

The Empire sincerely hopes that Dr. Phlhp
Sidney Smith, just appointed by Secretary lcKes
as Alaska representative on the Pubic Works Ao-
ADMINISTRATION will be successful If he is not Alaska
and not he will be the loser Upon the efficiency
and effectiveness with which he functions, the
welfare of the Territory during the next ten OF
twelve months depends in a large measure We
admit therefore, that altruism is not the sole
incentive in our wishes for his success
The Empire is perhaps the only newspaper IN
Alaska to be critical of the appointment of DR. Smith
in advance to Secretary Ickess action. OF course
our position was not taken personal grounds
AS we have said before he is a capable geologis
real executive delightful gentleman. Technically.
he is qualified for any position that he might De
offered His experience is wide and fits MN 10
handle almost any post to which he might aspire
or be appointed. He holds a Bachelor OF Arts de-
gree from Harvard Masters degree and PhD,
from the same institution He was an instructor
in geology and photography at Harvard 1or SIX
years Since 1906 he has been connected with the
United States Geological Survey assistant geolo-
gist geologist administrative geoogist and director
of the Alaska division of the Geological Survey.
In all respects save one, he is eminently
qualified for the post to which he has been APP
pointed In naming administrators for the several
States Secretary Ickes has selected persons resident
in the States which they represent mat was nov
done for political reasons 1t was in keeping with
the traditional Democratic policy of making the
responsibility local. And local Administrators nave
been further strengthened by the naming OF local
boards to act in an advisory capacity In appoint
ing Dr. Smith, whose home is in Washington, D. C.,
and whose interests almost wholly outside OF
Alaska Secretary Ickes abandoned that policy Tor
the first time We have believed that the general
practice is the wise and proper procedure We regret
that it was not pursued here. We are confident
it would have had more chances for success than
the one adopted
That of course is not DR.. Smiths fault. He
cannot do anything but serve And The Empire
gladly extends to him its sincere promise TO CO.
operate in every possible way to make his admins
tration 1t is not an easy task that ne
has, He must be prepared, in the words OF Gen
Johnson to stand the buffeting of dead cats" that
will be hurled in his direction. He will be cussed
for what he does well as for what he doesn't
do Credit that ought to come to him Will be
denied him, and blame that rightfuly should be
bestowed on others will be deposited on his door
STEP He will need the sympathetic cooperation OF
all Territorial Federal and municipal agencies in
public works construction. And we are certain that
Alaskans will give it to him.

Volume of Construction Low.
DAILY Journal of Commerce, Seattle)


The Federal public works bill, appropriating
SO, 300, 100000 passed many weeks ago. Natur-
ally there would be delay in getting the wheels
turning under a program vast, but many in the
construction industry worried the fact that
our weekly average of contracts being awarded
is about half the value of the contracts awarded
each week year ago The list of proposed projects
continues to grow, but since the passage of the
public works bill there has been little or no change
in the weekly trend of awards; in fact, awards have
shown a steady decline. Engineering NeWS-Record
has for many years, made careful surveys of large
contract awards and reported the value of the
work from week to week Very few contracts re-
ported in the last month be attributed to the
public works act, the magazine points out year
ago the weekly average for such awards was $25,-
100000 Now average is about s13oO0,0O0.
Here in the Northwest have Jared better at
the hands of Federal officials, they having acted
with commendable alacrty. Here in the North
west we have also pursued policy all too common
throughout the country of holding back regular
public works and building programs hoping that
the Federal Government would play Santa Claus.
Many cities towns water districts, school districts,
counties and other subdivisions have reduced beyond
necessity the volume of improvement work. The
Government officials hoped that while the smaller
communities would naturally be forced to curtail
their programs due to declining tax revenue and
the necessity for spending large sums for support
lof the unemployed, construction programs OF fair
size would be carried through and that the vast
Federal fund.- added to the local expenditures would
assist materially in affording work for hundreds
Iof thousands long idle The reduced activities of
the smaller communities, coupled with delay in
getting the Federal jobs launched is resulting in
weekly contract award values we'll below those OF
la year ago in most sections of the country.
In order that the stimulating effect of the
Federal appropriations may be felt every COM
lmunity must do its share of public work. Other
wise the governmental activities will be nullified
he of fjpan
Ito get jobs started. Elimination of unnecessary
lred tape is essential.
Here in Washington have less to complain
of than in most sections but it is fact that there
Iare many communities hereabouts that could do
much more than they are doing to push their
construction programs, instead of holding back,
waiting for the Government to carry the entire
burden.

anchorage Times.)

General A. D. McRae, Canadian Senator and
distinguished soldier in service of the Dominion
overseas, of the most energetic and dynamic OF
public men, visiting Anchorage yesterday declared
that Alaska needs publicity He says that the gold
quartz prospects of this region SO numerous
and promising that they in Ontario or British
Columbia a veritable stampede would ensue. He
would bring the facts regarding Alaska to the
attention of the American mining and investing
public through means of a carefully directed cam
paign in the States.
Here is a suggestion from friendly neghbor
who has come and seen what Alaska has and notes
what she needs. The observations of General McRae
should be taken home by those in position of
influence who can act Gen. McRae gold
of America turned this way. He would enlist the
Clubs Rotary Clubs and various interests who should
of the Territory-and included in the list should
be the American Government
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation and
seeing Alaska developed to the maximum should
lend hand along the line of work suggested by
the General
Transportation lines in and leading to Alaska,
including continental lines, and all commercial
and producing agencies which will thrive off an
expanded American market in Alaska should rise to
the big idea as advanced by General McRae and
lget busy.
If the plan can be put with the aid of
Alaskas Delegate and the Governor and others who
have the ear of Washington this splendid idea
may be bearing fruit Now is the time to try.

become of the reindeer which had
been placed on Unmak Island. This
matter, Mr. Nash turned over to

Lomen Reindeer Corporation.
After spending a week in Ju-

CO0PER'S CASE
MEETS DELAY

Sharp differences between op-
posing counsel in their versions of
negotiations for the opening of
Col. Wade H. Cooper's United
States Savings Bank caused Dis
trict Supreme Court Justice Jen-
nings Bailey to postpone further
hearing on the case until Thurs
day during which time counsel
are expected to agree on the
record.
Attorneys w. Bissell Thomas
and John w. Staggers, Col.
Cooper's counsel, in outlining
their suit to compel the Treasury
to relicense the bank had asserted
that preliminary negotiations with
the Comptroller of the Currency
had included the offer of stock
holders to make cash contribu-
ton to the banks capital struc-
ture. This was denied by Treas
ury Counsel George P. Barse.
Justice Bailey interrupted the
latters opening statement to ask
Thomas if his client is willing to
resubmit that offer and amend his
petition to show that such an Of.
fer had been made.
Thomas replied in the affirma-
tive, and Justice Bailey then or
dered the continuance, which was
rr>lced from two weeks to next
Thursday at the request of Treas
ury counsel.
It is thought probable that the
resubmitted offer to make a cash
contribution to the bank, either
in the nature of a stock assess.
ment, outright cash payment or
through a surrender and repur-
chase OF stock, may lead to an
agreement on the bank.

VALUES DIFFER
On GAS LAND

Values placed by the Public
Utilities Commission on land
owned by the Washington and
Georgetown Gas Light companies
are nearly $1,OOO,OOO lower than
those claimed by the companies, it
developed at today's session of the
valuation hearing before the COM
mission.
E. Catesby Rowzee, land valua-
ton expert for the commission,
appraised company lands at to-
tai of $2,342,000, while the figure
reached by Charles A. Jones and
Harold E. Doyle, company experts,
is $3,289,OOO.
The difference is largely due to
the fact that, in making his esti-
mates, Rowzee did not consider
certain property obtained through
the closing of the streets. These
streets, it was asserted, were
closed after June, 30, 1882, the
date upon which the valuation is
supposed to have been made.
Taken item for item, Rowzee's
figures are close to those submit
ted by the company and in some
cases exceed them.

Joseph PugIisi, Produce Man,
Threatened With Death
If He Failed to Pay

Vendetta against Joseph PugliSi
wealthy Italian produce merchant
flared up again today when Q
bomb was hurled through the win
dow Of his store in the first block
H st. N. W., while Puglisi, his wife
and small child, were asleep up
stairs.
Only the fact that Puglisi was
able to extinguish the long fusa
on the bomb averted an explosion
which would have wrecked the
building, police explosives expert
said.
The vendetta started two
months ago when PugliSi received
a demand for $4,000 with the
alternative of being put on tho
spot"
Disregarding a warning, he
notified police of the extortion
threat. His home was placed
under a police guard, but this was
later withdrawn when no further
threats were received.
Window Smashed
Early this morning Puglisi was
awakened by the sound of break.
ing glass. Rushing down into
the store. he discovered that 9
plate glass window had been
shattered when the bomb had
been hurled through.
The bomb, a length of 2-inch
pipe, capped at each end, had
a fuse about 10 inches long at
tached.
Puglisi stepped on the sput.
tering fuse, extinguishing it, then
called police.
The bomb was turned over t.
police explosives experts.
Puglisi received the extortion
threat last August. A man tele
phoned him, demanding the
money and warning him to keep
silent.
PugliSi did not report the
threat, but on the day named to
turn over the money he 'absented
himself from his place of business,
Locks Up Store
That afternoon John Lacovaco,
an employe in the store, received
a telephone call from a man who
said:
"We're coming down for the
money"
Lacovaco locked up the store,
Shortly afterward a man arrived
in a small coupe with Maryland
tags and attempted to enter the
store. Unable to get in he drove
away. This man was described as
squat Italian with a black mus.
tache.
Puglisi reported the affair to
police. Following investigation.
detectives announced they be.
lieved it to be vendetta rather
