great district, which comprises near ly one-tenth the entire area of Alas ka, has a population of only about 10000 souls
 Alaska has been neglected lona enough When t was given q sem blancc of Territorial government il 1912 congress did not intend that il should remain a Territory forever Congress was aware of the fact that Alaska was rich in resources, in min erals, fish and timber and furs, but congress like nearly everyone else had but a vague and hay idea of Alaska otherwise, and consequently delegated AlaskanS affairs to the sev eral bureaus which were duly au- thorized to administer the business and government of the Territory
 Chief thorn in the side of Alaska, and the greatest obstacle in the path of it's commercial expansion and de- velopment, is generally believed to be the fish trap In Southeastern Alaska the opportunities for com mercial development through the expansion of the fishing industry have long been denied the people by the owners of the fish traps and the bureaus which have charge of their regulation Seemingly beyond the reach of the NRA, and in spirit very often diametrically opposed to it, these canneries of Southeastern Alaska, which own and operate pra- ctically all the fish traps, are by a cruel paradox, the bad blood that gives life to Alaska Quite depend ent on them for the revenue requir- ed to administer the quasi-Territor- ial government, Alaska is reluctant to push aside these cornucopias, which can always be relied upon to spill largess into the Territorial treasury.
 Nowhere save in Alaska and in the State of Washington are fish traps still tolerated; the remainder of the civilized world has long since abolished them In 1893 when there were but few fish traps in Alaska congress passed an Act prohibiting their use in the Territory Men were sent to Alaska to execute the laws pertaining to them, but be- cause no appropriation for their en- forcement had ever been made the act was soon forgotten
 It has been repeatedly pointed out to the great discomfort of all Who have property or political interests in the retention of the 5OO-odd fish traps in Alaska, that if these con traptions should be abolished the permanent population of Alasks would be doubled, fl not tlpled within a single year after thcn abolition; that new industries WouI5 then arise and commerce would eY- pand as surely as day follows night

 Natural Resources Abundant
 Alaska's real wealth consists of unusually abundant natural resourc- es in addition to gold; vast areas of agricultural lands; billions of feet of timber, suitable for the manufacture of pulp and lumber products; fish ing industry in which the salmon production alone has amounted this year to over seven millions of cases; fur trade amounting to millions of dollars annually, copper, shipments of which from Alaska to the Stat es have varied between ten and two millions of dollars within the past decade; coal, which has been used to supply regional demands only but in which there is opportunity for tremendous expansion; petroleum which has hardly been tapped.
 Unlike Puerto Rico and Hawaii, Alaska's agricultural domains are being neglected almost entirely.
 Lands capable of yielding annual ly thousands of bushels of grain and other crops are producing at the pre- sent date hardly anything at all. The reason for this non-productivity is a logical one; the lands lie idle and for the most part uncleared, await ing the entry of progressive and hardy husbandmen and tillers of the soil
 2 The southeastern section of Alas ka extremely irregular, rugged and wooded and with altogether toe much rain fall, is unsuited to agrl- culture It is this section however that is rich in timber, fish and min erals

Filled up signs were hanging to-

The situation at Alta Vista, Va,
where A. r. ClaS, director Of the

that the so frame houses recently
completed "are now rented" is typical

The Alta Vista project was the first

2,40O families occupying apartments
or houses in the seven developments.
Two of them are in New York City
and one each in Philadelphia, st.
Louis, Raleigh, N. c., and Euclid, Ohio.
The report said rents at Alta Vista
are lower than those of other projects
because the others are Of f1reproof

corner lots rent for the high figure;

In other projects the rents range
from $3.50 to Sl1.

ROCKVILLE, Md, September 25.-
A system for providing increased pro-
lection against fires in public buildings
in the metropolitan area of Mont
gomery, County was devised by chiefs
of the II county fire companies meet
ing here last night.
1t has been customary in the past
for only the company located in the
immediate vicinity of a fire to respond
on the first alarm, but under the new
arrangement three companies will
turn out on all alarms at clubs, schools,
churches and other public buildings.
A meeting is to be held in the Chevy
Chase Fire House at O'Clock on
Tuesday night to perfect plans for
handling alarms under the new plan,
which affects Takoma Park, Silver
Spring, Kensington, Bethesda, Chevy
Chase, Glen Echo and Cabin John
departments,
It was suggested that the system be
extended to the upper end of the
county, but heads of those depart
ments declared that such plan
would not be feasible in such widely
separated areas.
Companies in the northern end of
Montgomery, however, will continue
their present plan of turning out to
assist the other departments in the
event Of blaze of serious proportions.

ROW OVER ARREST
OF MAILMAN ENDS
Judge Hit Lets Driver Off
and Policeman Unlikely
to Be Prosecuted.

A controversy following the arrest
of a mail driver for traffic violation
was ironed out today when Traffic
Judge Isaac r. Hit took the personal
bond of the driver, Philip Mayo, and
postal authorities indicated they
would not press their complaint
against the arresting officer, j. S.
McWhirt, twelfth precinct.
Judge Hit released Mayo on his
personal bond after a conference
among representatives of the Police
Department, Corporation Counsel's
Office and Post Office Department.
The latter had protested McWhirt's
action in arresting Mayo and leaving
the mail unprotected while taking the
driver to the patrol box.
Parked in Restricted Zone.
Mayo was arrested several days ago
after he is alleged to have parked in
a restricted zone while delivering
special delivery package. Postal au-
thorities say Mayo, who has been en-
ployed regularly by the department
for 16 years, asked that he be given
ticket so the mail would not be left
unguarded, but McWhirt insisted on
calling the patrol wagon.
Under the postal code, 1t was
pointed out, any one who interfcres
with or obstructS the prompt deliv-
cry of mail in any conveyance is sub
ject to a fine of 500 or six months
in Jail or both.
Disposition was decided upon st a
lengthy conference between Peter j.
Connolly of the Post Office Depart
ment solicitors Office and other postal
authorities, Police Inspector j. F.
Beckett, the arresting officer, and As
sistant Corporation Counsel James W.
Lauderdale. Connolly said he was not
in position to say his superiors
would not prosecute the policeman,
but indicated the matter would be
dropped.
Subject to Regulations.
He told the court the department
determined after an investigation that
the carrier was violating the law at
the time of his arrest and should have
been given a ticket. I'VE recognize
the fact postal carriers are subject to
local traffic regulations, but believe
more discretion should be used" he
