HOME INDUSTRIES

The Ketchikan Chamber of Com merce, like the Wrangell chamber, has a home industries commiteee that keeps plugging away in the face of much Encouragement, chief of which is the indifference of the majority of citizens, to develop the natural resources of the town and bring in new payrolls.
 At last week s luncheon meeting, reports the Ketchikan Chronicle the Rev. George J. Beck and Ralph Bartholomew reported at l e Il h on the perils and evils, as well as the benefits, of using barrels and tierees made of spruce in Alaska's fisheries industry.
 Seeking possible new industries for the Territory, the two men were appointed recently by the club to investigate the possibilities of using spruce in making barrels for the packing of herring.
 Bartholomew report, involving contacts with various agencies that might be interested in the question, was gloomy" in his own terms
 He was told by packers that the spruce barrels were mo good" They possessed the quality of ab- sorbing essential oils in herring and also took up too much of the brine that the fish are cured in, all because they are made of spruce instead of another wood. Then too, spruce added an odor to the herr ing.
 Alaskan lumbermen are not much interested in manufacturing spruce barrels, either. They are able to dispose of all the clear spruce they can get and want outlets for poorer grades of their product. Making barrel slaves requires absolutely clear wood, he said.
 On the other hand, the Rev, MT. Beck, appearing with exhibits of both spruce and fir barrels to add to the weight of his testimony showed a spruce barrel that was made Is years ago and has been in constant service since. It stood alongside a fir barrel of more re- cent manufacture and was seen to be las good as new or at least as good as the other barrel.
 The clergyman continued n. talk in defense of the idea of mak- ing and using spruce barrels in- stead of fir ones, challenging the statement that spruce was not as strong as fir and adaptable for use in tierces and also disputing the "odor" in spruce as against fir.
 Although arriving at no definite conclusion from the point of in- ducing the chamber to action, the testimony ended with the statement that a barrel-making establishment could be set up for between $5000 and $600O, using modern machinery

 It may not be practical for Wrangell to consider a barrel mak- ing enterprise, for there were pro bably not over 500 tierces of fish shipped out of this port during the past year.
 Nevertheless. there certainly is a field here for more industries than are now functioning.

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER

es was reported in an amendment submitted by the Committee as fol- lows for projects of states or po- litical subdivisions thereof $90O.- OOO,O0G."
 Since the word states has gen e ally been construed to exclude the territories, the Delegate immediate ly got in touch with a number of members of the Appropriation Com mittee and other members of the Senate and asked that the territor- ies and possessions be included in this item as we'll as the remaining items of the bill The territories and possessions are covered generally by the bill in a separate paragraph but the use of the word states" in the item above quoted would proba- bly, exclude the territories. Every effort has been made to have this amendment inserted but up to date it has not been taken care of.
 Senator Byrnes, who is assistine in the management of the bill in the Senate, is of the opinion that 70 such amendment is necessary If the amendment is not adopted in the Senate, appeal will be made to the Committee on Conference and try to have it inserted there. This item is particularly important with respect to public works projects in the cities of Alaska. which might be left out entirely if the amendment remains in its present form and is not further amended to include the territories. Other work projects in Alaska such as roads and public buildings are not dependent upon this item.

Yesterday t h e Department of Agriculture Appropriation Bill was passed by the House. The bill was made up in Committee, introduced on Thursday and immediately taken up for consideration. The bill, % have similar bills for some yea"- past, since the former Representa- tive SimOns visited Alaska. con. tained provision that the amour. appropriated for forest roads ara trails in Alaska should be limited to $350,000. The Delegate immcdi- ately took the subject up with members of the Committee and with the Bureau of Public Roa1s M. Brownell, Mayor of Seward, who is in Washington, also gave valuable assistance, and finally the Commit tee, when the Alaska item was reached in the reading of the bill on the floor, accepted an amend ment offered by the Delegate mak- ing available the balance of appro- priatiOns heretofore made in the sum of more than $500, 1000 and an additional $250,000 of the appro- priation carried by the bill for for est roads.

Some progress was made in Alas ka legislation during the past week The Secretary of the Interior made a favorable report on the bill to authorize the Thlingit and Haida Indians to bring suit in the Court of Claims, recommending some amendments The report was accom- panied by a very extensive memor- andum prepared by MT. Paul w.. Gordon, Director of the Office of Education for the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Alaska, setting out the rights of the Indians and recom- mending that the bill be passed. However. the Secretary recommend ed two amendments which were un- acceptable to the Delegate or to the Alaska Native Brotherhood
 One amendment would limit the claims to those which might be brought under the Russian treaty of cession on March 30, 1867, (15 Stat 539) or any subsequent act of Congress or Executive Order"
 This might prevent recovery if the rights of the natives were not expressly recognized in the treaty and they had no part in the making of the treaty. The bill was brought up for hearing before the House committee on Indian Affairs and the Delegate made statement in support of the bill but objected to the amendment above referred to
 After som discussion. since many other bills were before the Committee for hearing on that day. the Thlingit and Haida Dill was re- ferred to a subcommittee The Chairman of the subcommittee. Representative Ayers, assured the Delegate that the bill will be con sidered and acted upon by the sub committee promptly.
