 THREATENING
Alaska Game Commission Officials Make Flight
 Also Report on Buffalo

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Feb. 18.-- Irving K. McReed, of the Alaska Game Commission returned from a flight over the Tanana River and Big Delta areas and said the Black Rapids Glacier has two miles to go before reaching the Big Delta and he doubts if any serious dam age will result.
 Reed said the movement is simi- lar to those of 1912 and 1920 and the glacier is no further now than in 1920 and not as far as in 1912.
 Reed was accompanied by Clar- ence Rhode, Assistant Executive Officer of the Commission; and Richard Perkins. in a plane pilot ed by Walter Hall.
 The wild buffalo in the Big Del ta area has increased at least to 100 from the herd of 20 imported from Montana 13 years ago. The Buffalo seemed to be fat and are thriving. The party counted 40 moose in the same area.

 Mild weather is causing slides at Nelson, in the west Hootenay coun- try and isolated those sections.

GREEN, NERLAND. SPEAKERS AT
 6. 6. LUNCHEON.
House Members Are Guests with Governor at Week.
 ly Meeting of Group

At a special luncheon today noon in the Terminal Cafe, the Juneau Chamber of Commerce was host to members of the House of the Ter ritorial Legislature and to Gov. John w. Troy and Secretary of Alaska E. w. Griffin. Both the Governor and Secretary welcomed the Legislators on behalf of Juneau and the Territory and compli- mented the 18th Legislature on the high-caliber men who had been chosen as the peoples representa- tives.
 Speaker Joe Green of the First Division and former Speaker An drew Nerland of the Fourth, dean 'of the present session, spoke brief ly in behalf of the lawmakers Speaker Green introduced the var ious members and pointed out to the Chamber the difficult problems the lawmakers have in enacting Legislation for the entire Territory. He declared the matter of personal interest entered into the various problems and that certain inter- ests wanted certain things, but that lit was the duty of the lawmakers to legislate for the whole people.
 He pointed to the liquor pro- posals as an example. Many re- quests relative to the liquor issue have been presented to the Legis- lature, he said, but. he added, "the Legislature cannot legislate one district dry and another wet, for example. It must either legislate all dry or all wet. It cannot say that one community can have something that another community cannot"
 The Speaker said he would like to see the Legislature and the Chamber get back of the Dirnond program so that at least some of the money proposed for develop ment of Alaska would be forth coming.
 MT. Nerland gave an interesting talk, spiced with humor, on the great development of Juneau since he first stepped off steam schoon- CT here 39 years ago. At that time there was little to Juneau, he pointed out, in comparison with the leading city of the Territory that it is today. He told of a humorous experience when he came here on ship at the time it was unlawful to bring liquor into the Territory. MT. Nerland said that he was thoroughly "frisked" at the gangplank to see that he wasn't carrying anything, only to his amazement, to walk up town and find the saloons running full blast.
 Representative Dan Kennedy of Anchorage, former Juneau resident of the early days, was introduced and other out-of- town visitors were

New Memorial
 Would Protect
 Alaska Workers
Walker Measure Urges Con-
 gress to Put Up Bars Against Non-Residents

Striking at nonresident fisher men, Senator Norman R. Walker of Ketchikan this morning intro duced in the Senate memorial urg- ing that Congress include a pro- vision prohibiting seine fishing in Alaska by non-residents, in any bill introduced or enacted for the pur- pose of abolishing fish traps in AL askan waters, and to resist and fight against any such measure which does not prohibit seine fish ing by non-residents.
 The Walker memorial cites that Legislation on fish traps is being sought by non residents of the Ter ritory, who desire, not to improve the economic condition of the local seine fishermen or to assist in the permanent upbuilding of the Ter ritory, but who seek the elimina ton of fish traps for the sole pur- pose of opening the way for an in- vasion of Alaska's salmon fisheries by alieq and nonresident seine fishermen, who with their large fast boats, ruthless methods and de- structive gear would monopolize the seining grounds, deplete the salmon runs, discriminate against local fishermen, ntr but te nothing toward the permanent settlement of the Territory, and at the close of fishing season depart from AL aska, leaving the local seine fish ermen and their families destitute and without means of livelihood.
 Essential to Territory
 It is absolutely essential to the very existence of Alaska resident and to the future welfare of the whole Territory, the mem orial states. that any bill which prohibits the use of fish traps in Alaska, should also prohibit seine fishing by means of any boat over fifty feet in length and any seine over two hundred fathoms in length or two hundred and fifty meshes in depth.
 Four other measures were pre- sented in the Senate today. A mem- orial by Senator Rivers of the Fourth urges the Road Board to construct a road connecting the -Iditarod mining sec- tions. A bill, by Senators Powers and Roden, would provide for the establishment of Territorial assay offices, and request bill offered by Senator Walker would require

Air MaiI Extension Sought by Delegate Dimond;;
 Asks for Increase in Funds

WASHINGTON, Feb. l8.-Alas- ka Delegate Anthony J. Dimond told the House he will offer an amendment to the Post Office De- partment appropriation bill to add $72,735 for extension of air mail service to the more populous sec- tions of Alaska.
 The proposed addition will be made to the item of SPOT ,425 for Alaskan Inland star route mail service.
 We need more air service in Alaska because of the short rail- road and highway mileage If we had railroad service, more roads and free mail delivery service, now available to the people in the States. I would not ask for this increase" said the Delegate.
 The Budget has made provision for the extension the Alaska Dele gate seeks.

Spare the Children.

Next Monday morning a hundred thou
sand Washington children will start
new school year. In the name of these
boys and girls, the Metropolitan Police,
the American Automobile Association,
the Keystone Automobile Club, the school
authorities of the city and other officials
have joined in an appeal to motorists to
drive with special care during the hours
OF assembly and dismissal.
The youngsters must cross many
dangerous intersections. At some of these,
traffic lights will help them; at some,
there will be school patrol monitors to
assist them. But approximately eight
thousand of the children will be tiny tots
who have not yet learned the hazards
Of the streets. They are "carefree and
careless" and for that reason need par
ticular attention on the part of the
motoring public.
But even the older students are in peril.
There is no advantage in attempting to
deny that they venture themselves un-
wisely IN traffic. Every driver knows
their propensity for darting from curb
to curb in utter disregard for the danger
OF such conduct. Yet "contributory
negligence" is poor explanation when
. boy or girl has been killed or injured.
Tbs major responsibility lies with the
motorists. If they drive slowly. they can

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON,

Persons of the Play.
The worlds a stage, as Shakespeare
wrote
Or Bacon, II you will.
Some Of us rise old truths to quote
With eloquence and skill,
And make great names which they dis
play
With pride through many States
And some Of us must simply say,
MY lord, the carriage waits"
Miscast, we often sadly grope
Through lines that did not fit;
And yet we persevere and hope
Somehow to score a hit.
So each must listen and obey
The promptings of the fates,
Zen though he does no more than saw

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Mr.. Hyte, bantam extraordinary, has
taken unto himself q wife, a fine pullet
to be known hereafter simply as Mrs.
Hyte.
Mrs. Hyte is a beautiful creature, re-
minding the beholder of an animated
Paisley shawl.
She is combination of rich gold over
laid with fine brown tints
Lacking the great comb which dis
tinguishes her mate. she at once becomes
much more handsome creature
A rooster's comb, while outstanding, is
rather absurd, in any ANALYSIS.
Mrs. Hyte, without it, is much finer
fowl, to the unprecedented eye, and that
solely because her head is thus the stand
ard biro head known and liked the world
around
Yes, that's it, Mrs. Hyte is bird, to
the eye, rather than a chicken.
~
Her distinguishing trait is her speed.
Whereas Mr.. Hyte runs, she glideS
1t is amusing to see how faithfully she
keeps at his side, even when she permits
him to get 20 to 80 feet ahead of her
at times
Suddenly she sees she Is left behind
Quickly she arrives beside him, so
speedily, in most cases, that the beholder
unversed in the ways of pullets scarcely
realizes that she has started
This action never fails to bring smiles
to the face OF nprejudiced observers.
x
The early morning jallnt is the one
especially enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Hyte
Upon this tour of inspection they meet
with many adventures, ranging from cats
and dogs to owls and humans.
1t is Mr.. Hyte who bears the brunt of
the attacks, each one of which he repels
with standard fowl technique.
This consists of making several bleat-
ing sounds, at the same time he raises
his wings and flaps them with extreme
vigor.
This action, which is accompanied by
causes the foe to stop in astonishment
Hyte, rather proud of his accomplish
ment, turns around to see If Mrs. Hyte
is looking.
His mate is gone.
Mrs. Hyte, though now larger than
Mr.. Hyte, and growing larger every day,
believes thoroughly in the old adage.
She seldom fingers to see the effect
his air beating has upon the foe.
And rather good flyer is she, too
as she has demonstrated upon more than
one occasion, notably those chance en-
counters with Tigey, the cat, and with
the owl
1t was the owl which put the most fear
into her heart, but she was not quite
sure that Tigey meant her no harm,
never having studied the feline nature.
She did not realize that Tigey has a
sense Of humor, and made after her
rather as joke than because he meant
business.
