DIMOND WANTSgsALASKA TO
 CONTROL FURS, GAME. FISH

When Delegate-elect Dimond was in Fairbanks on his way to Nome he reaffirmed his. statement in favor, of having the control of the game. furs and fish of Alaska taken out of Fed eral hands and placed. entirely under Territorial control. .- He. later stated that he was all the more convinced of the necessity. of such change after having made a trip through the Kus- kokwlm valley, and said he believed It a-nlost necessary that the change be- made. The News-Miner, report- mig the north=hound visit to. Fair, banks, said in part:
 Relative to control of Alaska furs, g;.I4s ana fish, Nlr. Dimond said:
 ''I trust the present session of the Legislature will pass some effective Legislation for control. of these re- suarces, to-. be- placed in force upon, the passage of an-act by. Congress supervision oyer to-. the Territory, Then an organization would at once be set up to take control immediately without waiting. for another session of the Legislature"
 MT. Dimond. intends to do every tring he can to assure an early start on construction of the international highway It. is his belief. that there should be no.,delay in building of the Alaskan section.
 'I think Wa should proceed at once to- build on our side as far as the boundary ; line because this would stimulate ths. Canadians into action. The present British Columbia. goNern- ment. is very, much in favor of it, but it, is.- confronted by shortage. of funds. If we build our part,- the chances are that twill speed the mattar."
 More than. ever, after visiting. the Kuskokwim, MT. Dimond favors lim- ited-commercial fishing in the Kusko- kwim and Yukon rivers by natives and bona fide residents only. He holds, that this, would. give them. a. chance to at least make living, something which is difficult now with
