 10. We urge that the net rev. enue accruing to the United Sta tes from the seal fisheries of AL aSka should be covered into the Territorial treasury by suitable legislation by Congress to that end.
 II. We recommend and sup port the liberlization of the laws with respect to the ownership, operation and development of the coal and oil lands in Alaska, in such manner that the title thereto may ultimately vest in the locator or claimant, with such restrivtive regulations only as will effectively prevent mon opoly.
 12. In the name of humanity we urge that the Federal govern ment carry out it's responsibility for the care and medical relief of the Indians and Eskimos of Al aska. We endorse the hospital building program of the Alaska Division of the Office of Indian Affairs and pledge our party to work for its accomplishment.
 We demand that the Office of Indian Affairs give to the Terri tory of Alaska the same recogni- ton and treatment in defraying costs for the education of Indians and Eskimos that it does to the States for similar expenditures. l 13. We endorse the action of

the Federal Government in es- tablishing the Matanuska coloni- zation project, and urge that in any extensions of the plan into other districts or in adding mem bers to the Palmer colony, that first consideration be given to bona fide residents of the Terri tory.
 IA. We believe that adequate ap propriations should be made to properly maintain the necessary agricultural experiment stations and technical service required to insure that the farming popula- ton of the Territory shall re- ceive the benefit of modern agri- cultural advances.
 Is. Communication and trans portation are dominant factors in the development of Alaska, and recognizing that commercial avl- ation can contribute immeaSura- bly, to these facilities, we recom- mend that the Federal Govern ment and the Territory give ev- cry possible assistance to aerial transportation by adopting a policy whereby each section of Alaska will receive aid accord ing to its needs, and that avia- tion receive it's proportion of Territorial support in keeping with its importance as a factor in developing the resources of the Territory.
 We recommend the immediate establishment of an air mail route from the States 10 Alaska and the revision of the present star routes whereby the larger centers and communities will be served by airplane, and inter mediate points by suitable means of transportation.

Two Kinds of Claims

.. It is very important to distin- guish between a lode and a pla- cer deposit. If a deposit is lode, it should be staked as a lode claim: If it is placer, it should be staked as a placer claim... If both a lode and a placer deposit are found in the same area, it should be located as both a placer and a lode claim.

FINE GARDENS RAISED
BY RESETTLED FARMERS

Some unusually fine gardens are be-
ing raised by resettled farmers In Milk
river valley, says Mrs Effie Rae Pond,
home demonstration supervisor for the
Milk river farms, who cites particularly
the garden on the Elias Thykeson unit
at Zurich.
Many Of the resettled farmers out
side the South Wagner community
have worked under difficulties this
spring. In some cases houses and farm
buildings we're under construction and
temporary garden spot had to be util-
lied at planting time. Most farm
women are preparing to can and store
vegetables for winter use.
Thousands of baby chicks were pur-
chased or raised by resettlement clients.

him upside down, and left him with

with homicidal determination.

No Damage Done
To Fruit By Frost

With the temperature dropping
to % degrees after a wind which
had blown all day and evening
died down shortly after midnight,
local apricot growers lighted their
smudge pots Monday night to pro-
tect their trees, which were just
coming into full bloom.
No damage was reported in those
orchards which were heated, but
other growers reported some loss
wherever trees were in full bloom.
In the Columbia White Bluffs
district, Francis Moody, Dornan
Hall, Shaun Kelly and Jerome
Clarke resorted to slnudge pots to
protect their trees, while Alex
Parke turned on his wind ma
chimes in addition to snudglng.
Temperatures in the Allard-Ver-
llita district did not drop low
enough to injure the blossoms.
Horticultural Inspector N. P.
Anglin states that a check-up OF
the orchards in the valley fails to
reveal any damage to apricots,
peaches or cherries which would
reduce those crops to any extent.

Work Progresses On
Hanford Free Ferry

The states free ferry at Hanford
was a step nearer actuality this
week, the tug boat Doris having
been brought up the river to pull
the barge, which was constructed
here last summer. Material for a
deck for the ferry has been re-
ceived, and both barge and tug are
being painted.
The approaches to the ferry land
ings on both sides of the river were
completed recently.
Whether or not the state high
way from Yakima to the ferry Will
be oiled this summer is still an
uncertainty. 1t had been reported
that about twenty miles of road
would be oiled this spring, but other
llnconfuned reports state that the
oiliag will be done in August and
also that it will not be done until
next year.

WPA Workers Must
Seek Other Employment
BY Fern T. Massie
Acting Administrator, Benton
County Welfare Department

At present 279 men are en-
ployed on WPA in Benton county.
This means a monthly payroll Of
81, 100 This money is paid entire
ly by the federal government.
The men employed, except for
five per cent in administrative po-
sitions, are certified as eligible for
this work because of financial need.
These Qualifications are made by
the Benton county welfare depart
ment.
WPA work is only temporary ak
sistance for men unable to find
private employment. AS a result of
interviews with several, it is esti-
mated that between rs and 100 will
be able to find other employment
during the coming month The ma
jority of men employed look upon
WPA work as more wholesome
form of assistance than direct re-
lief.
AS no state or county money will
be available for relief for able
bodied men during the coming
month, it is necessary that WPA
supply any aid for such men UNI
able to find private employment.
Because of this, there must be an
increased effort on the part of me1A
on WPA to find other work, and
continued recognition on their part
that WPA cannot be a career.
