AN EXPERIMENT STATION LOOMS
 FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA

The prospect of experiment station in South east Alaska looms in the picture with the statement of Dr w A. Lloyd of the Department of Agriculture that in his opinion such station or laboratory would be of great help to the fur farming industry in the north He pointed out that it would be of great ice to the fox and mink farmers in that it would be able to make experiments in the raising of fur which the farmers themselves have to do now by the old trial and error method, which is not conducive to progress in the industry.
 The fact that the Department of Agriculture is interested enough in furthering the fur industry in the north to send of its expert agriculturst to the Territory make survey of the business is par tculary encouraging to the general Alaska picture It points to another step in the development of the Territory. It reveals again that Alaska has the fendliest contacts in Washington at the present time that has had in it's history It is self evident that the officials the National Capital who are in direct contact with the Territory have at last been convinced that in the north lies opportunity for a great empire The Agriculture Department, which has control of the vast timber resources of the north and consequently many of the islands which fox farming is carried on the Interior Department which handles much of the administration of Alaska affairs; the postoffce Department, and the War and Navy Departments which are interested in air mail and air bases all apparently becoming more and more Alaska conscious. The who come north from these departments readily visualize the possi- bilities 5s6 esf..s=,
 It is an encouraging outlook for those of who live in the Territory It forbodes the long sought development. As Governor Troy stated on his re- turn from the east:
 From the President down through the various departments there is universal feeling of riendness toward Alaska. They appear to in the Territory great field for progress and development"

There apparently is to be showdown regarding rumors concerning espionage of the countrys justly famed G-men and especially of the man who has brought distinction to his department and who has earned the lasting gratitude of this people by his patient and remorseless exterminaton of public enemies.
 There is a nasty suggestion that politics may be factor in this important equation-potics, aided and abetted by other agencies jealous of the deserved publicity of MT. Hoover and his capable assistants.
 If this is true the circumstances should be brought to light and pitlessy exposed In the Federal Bureau of Investigations President Roosevelts Adminisra- tion has been distinguished by phenomenal perform ance The war waged by the Justice Department against criminals has been relentless the successful achievements of Investigator Hoover and his men are without paraed To permit sordid political influence to snoop about this agency for the swift and just pun ishment of notorious outlaws and vicious murderers and kidnapers would be a shame.
 Attorney General Cummings stands back of MT Hoover and the men who have aided in ridding the nation of deadly men who set at defiance all the powers of law and authority.
 The Department of Justice should be entitled to the immunity from political espionage the Supreme Court The Secret Service should never be- come the subject of sleuthing by other Federal agencies by any other agency Like Caesars wife it must be kept it has been kept above suspicion
 The Attorney General is to be congratulated for his unequivocal position.

It might tend to swing few votes But the re- markable utterance of Colonel Knox only be accepted along with the statement of his leader, Governor Landon who made the Republican attitude on labor very plain when he said that "the right of labor to organize to the right of employees to join any type of union they prefer, whether it covers their plant their craft their industry"
 There is the open shop doctrine of the Republican party that the labor organizations have been fighting through the years and have only won recognition of their right to organize since the Roosevelt admnis tration came into power. Colonel Knox may be com mended for being working man. but it will be diff cult for him to explain to labor in this nation how he is going to be of much service it in view of the declared doctrine of the Republican standard bearer Governor Landon
 And then the Colonel makes this interesting play on words: The people want recovery not rhetoric "

 Poverty and insecurity not yet extermin- ated in land Economic hardship and economic injustice are not yet eliminated. But in the United States in the last hundred years the American peo- pie have come to these goals than any other people anywhere in history Brave pioneering and hard work and patient saving have made this the richest and fairest civilization in history"
 Is that recovery or is it rhetoric?
 Then the Colonel declares, "the issue before the country is the preservation of free enterprise"
 It is interesting to read the Democratic platform on the Same subject matter. That platform says:

AUGUST 12, 1916.


 A tale of hardships in moun- tainous country was brought back to Juneau by H. R. Shepard, who had returned from a prospecting trip to Berner's Bay. Lured by tales of "Berner's Bay John," who told of fabulous wealth in the hills, MT. Shepard accompanied the In- dian 20 miles into the mountains in search of gold. The two men were on the mountain five days and were without food for the great CT part of that time. They were unable to carry blankets with them, and Shepard spent two nights be- hind a rock, between glacier and a snow bank in the rain. The two were well above the timber line and could not have fire. MT Shepard brought back to Juneau samples of rock showing gold in small quantities, but not enough to warrant anyone returning to the spot.
