ALASKA FUNDS IN INTERIOR
DEPT. STUDIED BY HOUSE

WASHINGTON, d. c. ~ Contain
ing appropriations for the fiscal
year beginning July /, 1889. the In
terror Department appropriation bill
was taken up by the House on
March 8 and was still the subject
of debate when the House adjourned
Friday. On both days Delegate Di-
mond entered the debate in support
of Alaskan items in the bill. In en-
phasizing the responsibility that
Congress has in the welfare Of the
Territory he said:
Sometimes I fear that the Mem
bers of Congress as we'll as the peo-
pie of the United States do not
realize. that Alaska belongs to them
just as much as it does to the TO-
900 people who reside in the Terri
tory. Alaska is part and parcel of
the United States, and the Supreme
Court of the United States has de-
cided in a case in which the ques-
ton was involved, that the Consti-
tuition of the United States extends
with full force and vigor to Alaska,
and for the protection of the citi-
zens of Alaska. So Alaska is not a
colony; it is not a dependency; it
is a Territory. It is a State in en-
bryo, and it is just as much a part
of the United States as is one of the
SO states.
alaska belongs to the people of
the United States in a peculiar man.
ner, because more than SO per cent
of the total area of Alaska, a re-
gion twice as large as the State
of Texas, still belongs to the I'm
tied States. It is still in the pub
lie domain or in one of the several
types of reservations that may be
created by the Federal Government

has been a shortage of meat in and
about Holy Cross all winter. Plenty

No need to say that they were most

reindeer have been brought by some
native coming from other regions.
But it is really the village peo-
pie who have felt most the lack OF
meat. For long stretches they have
had nothing but fish and potatoes,
not even lard for their cooking. A
few weeks ago several men from the
village mushed down to Kalskag to
obtain some reindeer. Each one re
turned with a few, but the carcass
ses were very small and thin
Since meat is so scarce, the fish
traps are getting much attention.
Most of them are yielding we'll over

Atlin following the east shore of
Atlin Lake to Tagish Lake going
either to Carcross or Whitehorse,
Yukon Territory.
This route would follow the East
ern contact of a heavily mineral

territory of untold wealth. Prospec-
tors who have covered the North
are aware of this fact more than
any other person. No unusual snow
fall occurs within this route and
the only difficulty in keeping such
highway open would be at Van
couvers back door, "The Hope
Mountain Section"
In expressing our views upon the
Highway project, and its proposed
route, we feel that our entering the
discussion has been prompted by our
own personal knowledge of the
country through which we have re-
ported upon, and in so doing at
tention may be brought before the
Commission for consideration of the
merits such route offer.

Members of the Wrangell Cham
Der of Commerce at their regular
weekly luncheon meeting Monday
admitted they have been lax in not
working more strenuously IN sup
port of the coast route for the In
ternational Highway As this route
comes close to Telegraph Creek and
will benefit Wrangell, and because
members sincerely believe 1t to be
the more feasible route than the
one proposed through central Brit
ish Columbia. they voted to throw
the chambers full influence to the
coast route.
In support of the coast route the
Atlin NeWs-Miner recently published
an interesting letter from two prom
inent Atlin citizens, H. F. Classy
and L. 3. Cook, the latter an air
plane pilot. The letter follows.
Since the appointment of Com
mission by the Federal Government
of Canada to cooperate with the
Commission appointed by the United
States Government to determine the
feasibility of construction of the
British Columbia - Yukon - AL
aska Highway, a great deal of dis
cussion has been heard as to how
British Columbia could finance such
an undertaking involving the ex-
penditure of it's construction, and If
constructed the route it should fol-
low.
Having spent a good many years
in Central and Northern British
Columbia, covering by paek-horse,
dog team and airplane the country
through which such Highway
should be built for economic reasons
and following the line of least re-
sistence insofar as costs and main
tenance are concerned, we feel we
are qualified to draw to the atten-
ton of the Commission charged with
obtaining information upon the pro-
ject, a route which would prove
most feasible and practicable and
one that demands serious consider
alton by the engineers employed in
reconnaissance of any proposed
route.
We are well acquainted with the
country from Takla Lake to the
head of the Lizard River. We have
covered the country from Hazelton
to the head of the Klappan River
both in summer and winter, and
our reason for bringing forward
these statements is to point out that
these two proposed and much-talked-
of routes are not economically sound
from a practicable standpoint, that
would insure continuous traffic af-
ter completion of a highway via
either of these routes. Continuous
traffic is possible by building
through the following designated
route through Central and Northern
British Columbia, and from the Yu-
kon boundary the same conditions
would apply by connecting with the
present trail from Tagish Lake in
the Yukon. By following this sug-
gested route Stewart could be at
forded an outlet by constructing
a road from Hazelton to that point;
the same conditions would apply to
such points as Juneau though
branch roads could only be built to
tidewater, and accessibility to roads
connecting with the main Highway
could be obtained with little diff
Guilty, to these parts.
The diverting point from the pre-
sent constructed highway, Vancou-
yer to Hazelton, would be at Van

D. {. Relief Expenditures
Rank Low, Study Shows

Due to limited appropriation the
District spent less money, on a per
capita basis, on various kinds of re-
lief during the last calendar year
than many other large American
cities. according to q report made
today to the Board Of Public Well
fare by Its Public Assistance Divi-
sion.
Only 11ve cities having popula-
tions between 250,00O and 1000, 900
out Of total Of Is included In the
comparison, gave less relief per in
habitant from public funds than
did the District, it was found. The
relief included general assistance,
special types of relief and w. P. A.
The per capita total here was
1884. Toledo was first, with
$52.72, and the lowest was Mem
phis, with 1913. Washington was
given 20th place for all types of
relief, the same rating for general
relief, which includes work and di-
rect relief and statutory aid to
veterans on the basis of need; 18th
place for special types of pub
lie assistance, including old age as
sistance, aid to dependent children
and aid to the blind, and goth
place for w. P. A. relief.
Fer Baltimore, with which WASH
ington is most frequently compared,
the per capita total was $11.54. The
Public Assistance Division said:
This higher rate in Washington
was due entirely to the fact that
the cost for w. P. A. was more than
twice as much in Washington as in
Baltimore; for general relief and
for special types Of assistance costs
per capita were higher in Balti-
more"
The division figured that 81 per
cent Of the Districts estimated pop
ulation of $4,000 received various
kinds of relief. The average pay
ment per case per month was figured
to be 5000.

only since 1882. He has commanded
the aircraft carrier Lexington and
the naval aviation training center at
Pensacola, Fla. He served with the
Kentucky Volunteer Infantry during

Selection Popular.
The selection of Capt. Towers as
chief Of the Bureau of Aeronautics
has been advocated for several years
by national aviation organizations.
He is the first Of the naval aviation
pioneers to reach the grade of rear
admiral or to command the bureau.
He was one of the first three naval
officers selected for aviation train
ing and began his instruction under
the late Glenn H. Curtiss in 1911.
In 1912 he was put in charge of Navy
flight training, establishing camp
near Annapolis, Md.
Capt. Towers made aviation his
tory in 1912 with a flight down
Chesapeake Bay to Hampton Roads
and return and established a world
endurance record of 6 hours 10 min
utes. He commanded the naval
aviation unit which assisted in the
occupation of Vera Cruz, Mexico, IN
1914, and was assistant director of
naval aviation during the World
War. He was in command Of the

Roosevelt Approves
Cutting Guam Item
From Navy Bill
Expected to Request
Inclusion in Rivers
And Horbors Measure
By the Associated Pres,

By the Associated Pres.
Chairman Walsh, Democrat. Of
the Senate Naval Committee said
after q White House conference
today that President Roosevelt had
no objection to elimination from
the naval air base bill Of q s. 900 900
item for harbor development ut the
Pacific Island Of Guam.
The President" Senator Walsh
said, thinks the item would be
more appropriate in q rivers and
harhors bill and he probably will
recommend that"
Senator Walsh agreed with q
questioner that this would take the
military aspect OF the proposed
work at the island, which is about
1900 miles from Japan.
The House had eliminated the
item before passing the Navy base
bill. Senator Walsh said he told
the President that his committee
was not disposed to include it
either, but had no objection to
putting 1t in a separate measure
or into non-military bill.
This is not an emergency item,"
Senator Walsh said. Even the
Navy does not put it down as such" :"
Army Bill Faces Delay.
Senator Austin, Republican, of
Vermont said today final congress
sional approval Of the 1858 ,OOO, 900
Army expansion bill probably would
be delayed until next week.
Congress moved ahead, though,
to make funds available for some
parts Of the program. A House Ap-
preparations Subcommittee approved
yesterday President Roosevelt's re-
quest for $124,000,0O0 to supply
critical items" Of Army equipment,
strengthen seacoast defenses and
train 10000 civilian airplane pilots.
The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee learned from officers yester-
day that the Army will be satisfied
with artillery little changed from
that used before the turn Of the
century, II it can have funds to
modernize its 75-millimeter field
pieces. Germany Is reported to be
equipping her divisions with 105-
millimeter guns.
Senator Truman, Democrat, of
Missouri, q former artilleryman,
said the experts testimony con-
vinced him that the old type Of gun,
fitted with q new trailer and other
devices, could shoot it out" with
any other field gun in the world.
Profit Limitation Rewarded.
Besides, Mr.. Truman added, the
Army can modernize its "75's" for
$1,000 each and the new "105's"
would cost $25,000 each. It also
has 5000, 900 rounds Of ammunition
for the '75's."
Conferees on the Army bill yes
terday reworded a limitation Of IL
per cent on profits warplane man
ufacturers may make. The change
was made 50 the limitation would
not be confused with q similar 10
per cent restriction on profits from
naval building.
Yesterday also brought approval
by the Navy Of a proposal that
Latin American countries be per-
mitted to buy war implements in
the United States and q favorable
vote by House Appropriations
