Is to 25 years, small camps of } to 20 men rather than large ones of 200 are used, and the Forest Service alone, in place of a com bination of agencies as in the States, was authorized to enroll, feed and olothe the men, as well as supervise their field work. he unit of the U. S. Army at Chil- koot Barracks acts as paymaster. The work started in May of last year and will be concluded in April, 1934, unless the period shall be extended or the program be made permanent. Camps have been operated over the entire Ma tional Forest region from Hyder to the Kenai Peninsula.
 The Alaska camps are carrying out program of highly desirable improvements on Forest lands which under the ordinary annual budget of expenditures could not have been fulfilled within a period short of l2 or IS years. Much work has been done on Forest Service wharves, warehouses, boat repair shops, fire control stations
 (on the Kenai Peninsula) and other projects, to help give better service. Most of the projects, however, are of a character that contributes more directly to the local economic welfare or make the country better place in which to live from the standpoint of general recreation, sport and nat ural beauty. In the strictly eeo- homie class can be mentioned the 10 miles of prospeotors' trails to mineralized regions built up to the close of the past year; the 45 miles of general purpose trails; the 4 spur roads constructed into oordwood areas where the needy

TH E Emergency Conservation II Work idea originated in the mind of the President. The prl- mary aim was to provide relief for the widespread unemployment ex- isting among the youth of the Nation and thus to combat the vicious effect of enforced Idleness on the characters of men approach ing or just past the majority age, who, under normal economic con- ditions, would be enthusiastically entering the working ranks of our extensive industries. For a number of years prior to the spring of l933 hundreds of thousands of young men had been "on the road'' or were living as enforced dependents of impoverished par ents a condition that could only lead to their complete moral break down and consequent lowering of the moral standard of the entire country.
 The only satisfactory remedy was work. It must be kind of work that the boys themselves would recognize as useful if it were to accomplish the purpose sought. At the same time because of the huge outlay in money in- volved its usefulness must also appeal to the average citizen. Again, the jobs it afforded must be noncompetitive with those need ed by the family man. A program of improvement for publicly own ed lands, Federal. State and ooun- ty, occurred to the President as most nearly meeting all of the requirements.

usually good. As the above indi- eates the island is practically Tn a primitive state. It is a very in- teresting wilderness and deserves greater attention by the outdoor public.
 With the object of fostering reereational use of this island by Alaskans and outside sportsmen an important network of trails start ing from tide water on the shores of the island, crisscrossing in the central portions, and joining up with the canoe portages and in- land lake travel routes were con structed during the past season. Four large log shelter cabins were built at logical locations along the travel routes. These improve ments now bring into accessibility the sections of the island of great est interest and a more strenuous effort will now be made to bring the island to the attention of the outdoor man and woman.
 The above is a resume of the starting of the Emergency Con servation Work and accomplish ments during the first nine months of its existence. As the name shows, 1t IS an emergency measure, brought into being in an incredibly short time to meet desperate situation and scheduled to come to close in April. Those whc have been brought into close con tact with it and are thus familiar with its inner workings are highly pleased with the results of both it's functions Building Men and Building Forests" and believe il might well be continued indefin- itely or at least until the eondl- tons thar brought about its need are clearly behind us.

themselves of doubtful value. AL most every one has long recognized the great desirability of taking them in hand but we have been too busy with our individual en- terprises to make the concerted ef- fort necessary to get the work done.
 This combination of useful pro- jects undertaken and the good success obtained in the rehabilita- tion of the men, who had the misfortune to come to mans sta- ture during the present great eco homie depression, has made the Emergency Conservation w k immensely popular with all class es everywhere. Many persons are advocating its adoption as perm anent institution. They argue that at all times there are thousands of boys, especially those from the cit les, who should be provided with a season of work with the hands, at nominal wage, on useful pub lie projects and especially in the healthful, outdoor atmosphere of the mountains and plains which comprise the pu b io lands. It would build up character and oiti- zenship, as we'll as physique. At the same time the material results of their labor would be oonsid- erable item in justifying the cost of the undertaking.
 The National Forests of Alaska were given quota of 325 men to be selected from the resident population. Owing to peculiar local coalitions several exceptions were made in the m amer of handling the work in Alaska some of the men enrolled are above the general age limits oi

Territory's
 Finances irl
 Fine Shape

In these days of governmental deficits Alaska stands alone in that it has none Not only does it not have one now, it never has had.
 It pays it's way as it goes. It is the one political subdivision of the Nation that measures it's expendi- lures by its revenues and has the money in it's treasury before it spends it.
 For that reason, mainly, its taxes are lower than those of any other Territory or State, and its system of governmental administration is freer from red tape and bureau cratic supervision.
 The picture of the Territory's fi- nancial status is presented by the report of Walstein c. Smith, Terri torial Treasurer, for the last cal endar year, which is typical of every year preceding it.
 A net balance of $314,803.84 in the Territorial Treasury on De- cember 31, 1883, shows a tidy in- crease over the net balance for the same date a year previous, which was $23s,95340.
 In part, this increase is due to Federal funds paid into the Treas ury for emergency relief work, and in part due to earlier payments of taxes, according to MT Smith. Tax payments for the first quarter, which were due January IS, with grace until March 15, have been good, he said.
 MT. Smith further indicated that he believed the earlier tax pay ments are a good index to increas- ed business and improved condi- tions generally throughout tn e Territory Since 1929, the tendency has been to let taxes drag, and the picking up has been very mo- ticeable during the past year.
