ALASKA PROGRAM BOOSTED
 BY SENATOR SHWELLENBACH

Senator Lewis Schwellenbach, democrat of Washington, has un- dertaken to organize house and senate blocs to push L assures for the development of Alaska.
 Describing the Territory as "one of the greatest assets of the United States, the senator added that whatever aided 1t also aided the entire Pacific northwest.
 Schwellenbach said that he would attempt to organize delegates from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Cal ifornia back of the proposed en- actment of a four-year development program. This program includes pro posals for establishment of an army aviation base in the Territory, ex- pansion of airmail service, alloca- tion of greater amounts of money for territorial road construction, de- Velopment as speedily as possible of the proposed international highway. rehabilitation of the Alaska rail- road, extension of federal aid to mineral prospectors in the form of grubstakes.
 The senator announced his plans after holding a conference with Dell egate Dimond and pr. Ernest Gruen- ing, director of division of terri tories and insular affairs of the de- partment of interior.
 Schwellenbach said that pr. Gruen- ing, who visited Alaska last sum mer, agreed to arrange a meeting next week of all heads of bureaus under which Alaska is benefited. The Alaskan program will be urged at the meeting.

Pensions For Indians

Proposed legislation to provide that persons of one-fourth or more Indian blood who are 5 years of age and in need shall receive a Fed eral pension in an amount not to ex- ceed 80 per month has been rein troduced the Delegate. It seems clear that If the Territory enacts the necessary cooperative legislation required for extension of the Social Security Act to Alaska, the Indians and Eskimos will be eligible for pen sion under that Act. However, enact ment of this bill will remove con siderable financial burden from the Territory. as well as from those States in which Indians reside, as it is not limited to Alaska in it's ap- plication, through nonrequirement of the State or Territory matching the money allotted for pensions to

University Reserves

A bill amending the Act to re- serve lands to the Territory of AL aska for educational uses, and for ether purposes, approved March A., 1915, has been introduced by the Delegate to reserve sections num- bered 33 in each townsite In the Territory for the support of the University of Alaska. The original Act provides that sections number ed 16 and 36 in every township be reserved for the support of the common schools in Alaska, and that sections numbered 33 in the Panama Valley be reserved for the support Of the Agriculture College and School of Mines, now the Uniyer- sity of Alaska. Enactment of this measure will mean the reservation of sections numbered 8 through out Alaska for the support of the University.
 Another bill introduced for fur therance of education in Alaska authorizes the sale of timber and mineral products from the sections in each township reserved for the support of the common schools.

AMPLE SLEEP

Former Senator Reed Shoot of Salt Lake City was recently quoted in the press as saying that people sleep too much. He thinks six hours a day is ample.
 We wonder what he would think of a town whose men for six months have been so soundly asleep that not one meeting of the Chamber of Commerce has been held. This has been the case at Wrangel as can be seen by perusal of the list oT congressional appropriations now pending. Millions to be appropri- ated for roads, harbors, breakwa- ters, dredging, federal buildings, airports. air bases and scores of oth- CT improvements in Alaska. Each project was asked by a Chamber of Commerce who presented the claim, established it's necessity and i'm portance and then went after IL. The meek may inherit the earth but they certainly do not get con- gressional appropriations.
 Wrangell has asked nothing this term and is slated to get exactly that. With the finest natural har- bor of any town in southeast Alas ka We have the poorest facil- ities today to offer the fishermen Of the district We do not need much money. Just a part of the $1S0,00O listed for Cordoyas harbor would suffice to dredge our inner harbor back Of the sniugle mill Tor the ac- commodation or the mosquito fleeE, whose home port is Nrangell.
 The rock removal on the opposite shore would be more expensive, but even so, the whole project would cost little ln comparison to it's ec- onomic value.
 Somewhere in the appropriations list now pending we notice an item of $600 for the Stikine. Stupendous, isn't it? At that we wonder how so much money came to be included in the list, without the effort of the men ot the community organ ized for the purpose 10 fostering and building up our natural resources.
 We know perfectly well that a little group Of Mrangell men for years carried the work of the Cham Der of Commerce and were directly responsible for every improvement that was made here. Nothing ham pered their efforts so much as the apathy of such large percent age of the other men in town. But so long as there even a few men awake to the community's needs, progress was made and much was accomplished. IL was a sad day when those few grew weary of the struggle and drifted off to sleep.
 IL is time for our men to wake up. If there have been jealousies or friction or il feeling Of any kind, forget them. Regard it all as a bad dream during a long ill-advised sleep and with renewed effort start about reorganization of the Cham Der Of Commerce toward the up building and betterment of Wral- gen.
