ALASKA'S NEWEST COLONIZATION PROJECT
Fairbanks News-Mlner)

A big order, that of a Denver group of men, including Robert c. F. Tallman and the noted former Judge Ben Lindsay of Colorado and California, 10 at tempt to colonize Alaska with European refugees and Ameri- cans.
 If all falling within that class were quickly diverted this way, fleets of ships and innumerable other facilities would be called into action, and Alaska convert ed into a babbling beehive of heterogeneous people.
 Much as Alaska wants recruits to develop her dormant resourc- 2es, and to give her permanent population, she cannot afford to undertake to carry on with a mass of miSfts.
 Alaska has rightly been des- cribed as "An Empire Without a People" With only some 60,000 to 10000 population-haE of them natives-Alaska has but a fraction of the population of Scandinavia, Finland and north ern Russia, lying within the same latitude in the old world. More than 30,O0O,000 people live and thrive north of the sixtieth parallel in Europe and bordering areas of Siberia. The sixtieth parellel crosses Alaska near Se-

 Doubtless the mineral, farm lands, timber areas and fisheries of this region in time will at- tract and hold large poulation in this country-and southeast ern Alaska teem with prosperous peoples the same as the area north of the Panhandle.
 But Alaska will not proceed on a successful course of develop ment without careful selection of an adaptable people-those fitted to bend to the task of pioneering and who are not afraid to face new conditions with the same fortitude characterized of those who blazed the way and laid the foundations of the great states which were carved out of Ann erica's vast domain between the Mississippi and the Pacific.
 The Matanuska colony, grad ually evolving into a success, is a striking example of the fact AL aska, with all her rich lands and abundant other resources, is no place for the unfit or those un- willing to work.
 This is the law of the Yukon, and

3 HEARINGS SET
NEXT MONTH ON
TRANSIT ISSUES
Street Car, Bus Service
Problems Up to PUG

Three public hearings on mass
transportation problems were cal
endared for next month by the
Public Utilities Commission today.
First hearing, set for May 9 at
10 a. m, deals with the applica-
ton of the Capital Transit Com
pany to discontinue the portion
of the Eighth and F Streets North
east street car line running from
Union Station Plaza along Cali
fornia Street, Second Street, F
Street to Eighth Street.
COMPANY'S PLEA
The company. in making this
application, pointed out the terri
tory through which the portion OF
the line runs, also is served by
the Fifteenth and H Streets North
east and Thirteenth and D Streets
Northeast street car lines, the
Burleith-T Trinidad bus line and the
Navy Yard-Calvert Street loop car
line, which runs along Eighth
Street and Florida Avenue in the
Northeast section.
Second hearing, scheduled for
May II at 10 a. M, is on the trans
it company's petition for change
in routing of the Rhode Island
Northeast bus line. The line now
runs along Rhode Island Avenue
to Twelfth Street Northeast, and
the company proposes to switch
the buses off Rhode Island Ave
hue at Fourth Street, run them
north to Franklin Street, then
east to Twelfth Street and follow
the existing route to the terminal.
BUS LINE ASKED
The other hearing is slated for
May IL at 10 a. M, and deals with
petitions from organized groups
and individuals in the territory
adjacent to Benning Road and
Central Avenue for establishment
of new bus line. Proposals urge
that the bus line run from the
intersection of Benning Road and
Minnesota Avenue Northeast,
along Benning Road to Central
Avenue, and thence to the Dis
trict line. The section includes
newly developed colored resi-
dental areas, and the petitioners
contend they are not adequately
served by street cars and buses.
