BUREAU PUBLIC ROADS CANNOT CONTROL TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY

M. D. Williams, district engineer, U. s. Bureau of Public Roads, with headquarters at Juneau, spent We'd nesday in WrangelI.
 Completion of Wrangell highway from Shoemaker Bay to Pats Creek, is a part of the Bureaus road pro- gram for the coming season, and although included in the appropri- ations bill, the money probably will not be made available by Washing ton until in June, in which event the road will not be completed un- til the latter part of August.
 In the matter of traffic regu- lations on the highway, which the chamber of commerce recently re- quested of the Bureau of Public Roads, at the instance of Geo. T. Barrett, MT. Williams stated that the question was one which mad confronted his department for many years on all the U. S. Forest high ways in the Territory, but unfor- tunately the Bureau has no juris- diction in the matter
 The Department of Agriculture under which the Bureau functions, has made certain rulings relative to speed, but since they are not a matter of law and there is no meth cd of their enforcement, they have had no perceptible effect.
 The Bureau has no police auth ority. MT Williams explained, and in no way can act other than a pri- vate citizen in attempting to reg ulate traffic; that is, a complaint may be sworn out by an individual, or by the Bureau, setting forth cer- tain violations of existing laws or driving at an excessive speed.
 This procedure would require that the complainant appear in court and if the case were lost, the complain ant would be responsible for the cost. The Bureau for this reason, has entirely refrained from filing

such complaints.

such complaints.
 While the Bureau can be of no assistance in the control of speed on the highway. Mir. Williams said he would be glad to place signs. if the Chamber of Commerce believed they would be of any benefit The Bureaus experience has been, how ever that persons using the high- ways are so familiar with the local hazards that signs pointing to them have little or no effect.
 The best way to regulate the high ways has been found, says MT. WH- Hams. to have a prescribed area running parallel to the roads set asde as a game reserve. The use of firearms is thus prohibited which the wildlife quickly come to know. This method has been worked out along many of the highways. with much success. At Petersburg. MT. Williams said, since the game re- serve was put into effect. a drive along the highway is often reward ed by the sight of from two to five deer fearlessly feeding in the re- serve.

sALNONBURGERs ENTER
 BATTLE IN HOT DOG FIELD

SEATTLE And now, there is reason to believe that the cry will be: Peanuts, popcorn, soda water and salmonburgers"
 A new contender enters the field in the battle for public favor That public, which likes it food fresh and fast, has raised to international em- inenee the lowly bun-and wienie and the once despised chopped meat patty.
 Fitted against the succulent hot dog and the savory hamburger, the entry from Alaska has much to offer in the way of delicious flavor satisfaction of appetite and, above all in importance to the public, a reasonable price. The price factor is of great importance to restaurant men. too.
 The salmonburger has been used commercially by a prominent res taurant man of Seattle. He has spent not a little time to assure himself that purYeying to the public of salmonburgers is a practical op- eration in a commercial way. He is Carl BrOome, widely known and highly successful restaurant keeper. Broome won great recognition some years ago when he produced the worlds biggest hamburger at his Santa Barbara, California, establish ment. Now he turns his talent to salmon and he definitely believes he has found a real dish.
 "Salmonburgers are gaining favor rapidly" said Mir. Broome. They lend themselves to commercial han ding in those catering establish ments which use the same high standard of preparation and quality of ingredients as a housewife uses.
 "salmonburgers are tasty, savory, and have a smack of flavor that makes them delicious as a type of sandwich. Salmonburgers go we'll with coffee or equally well with cold drinks.
 ''The number of repeat orders we have had points definitely to the promise that this form of nourish- ing and tasteful sandwich will be- come great faYorite with the pub lie. And in our business, repeat orders are the gauge of success"
 MT. Broome, who did considerable experimenting, found the proper and convenient as well as econom- ical restaurant recipe to be based on the use of two cans of salmon.
 ''I don't mind giving this recipe to other restaurants" MT. Broome said, But advise no substitutions or other irregularities. There should be no short cuts. Fresh white bread is best, as designated And butter surpasses all substitutes in the prep aration of this dish"

Mandate of the People

m HE THOUGHT comes to mind: Would Chair
l. Jack Nichols of the tax committee have told the
Federation of Citizens Associations that it was
''wastng its time' in advocating a sales tax if the
chairman had been elected by Washingtonians instead
of by Oklahomans?
Maybe yes and maybe
After the first experience of the Citizens Fedora
tion, sales tax advocates before the congressional
committee bit hestant and even slightly apollo
getc in putting forth their theories in opposition to
the oft-repeated sentiments of committee members.
Local civic and business groups, representing sub
santial numbers of Washington citizens, have gone
on record in favor of the consumers sales tax but
the committee has consistently maintained that these
organizations not speaking for the majority in

The committee announced itself ready to accept the
mandate of the people.
They apparently do not believe it significant that
the sales tax principle has been put forward by the
Federation of Citizens Associations, the Federation
of Business Mems Associations the Board of Trade,
individual civic and business groups, as the fairest
method of taxing everybody equally.

Boake Carter's Opinions

A note at the bottom of Boake
Carter's articles appearing each
day in The Times states his
opinions are his own. It is, in
deed, to be hoped so, for it is in
conceivable that any intelligent
and patriotic American could
entertain such rotten opinions.
He appears to be spokesman
for the pacifists: and a reason
able deduction from the stuff
he writes is that he is a paid
propagandist Of the Japanese,
though I make no such charge.
He prides himself on recently
becoming an American citizen.
I am sure he has a monopoly of
this pride that is hardly shared
by any other American.

A few points to consider in
this connection are, briefly, Cd

from barbarism, did not quite

wishes, to forget all the good Of.

only the ills, blame all the lat.
ter on the Church-regardleSs
whether these ills were caused
by Catholics, by persons other
than Catholics, or by irreligious
and avaricious potentates who
were but nominally Catholic;
(N has anyone ever placed the
blame on a church" for the
persecution of Catholics that at.

intensity and horror of that
