pose and condemn the proposed and sweeping departmental reserva- ton plans and curtailment of Alaska development set forth by the Fed eraf Alaska Resources Committee, and we commend the Alaska Plan ming Council for expressing the Alaska viewpoint.
 We oppose any extension of fisheries reserves, hunting and trap ping reserves, reindeer reserves and the extension of government leasing to mining ground in the Territory.
 Regarding fisheries, we further resolve that Alaska should be given adequate consideration in the mat ter of fisheries regulation and that the Territory be given full control of said subjects"
 Toll Revocation
 The resolution further asks that authority for imposition of high way tolls in Alaska by departmental officials be revoked and that the present tolls be abolished; that the Alaska Railroads excessive freight rates be reduced that a revision be made of administrative authority now governing the Alaska Railroad; that departmental officials thereof be dlvested of their dictatorial DOW CTS, and that Congress adopt policy fostering the orderly utiliza- tion and the efficient economic de- velopment of the resources of Alaska to the fullest extent.
 No action was taken on the Cor dova Chambers brief relative to changing the Copper River and Northewtesrn Railroad bed into a highway, since it was felt the matter was local in interest, and therefor not within the scope of the Terri torial Chambers activities.
 Placer Mining Exemption
 Unanimous support was voted to Senate Joint Memorial No. g, in the Territorial Legislature, which asks that placer mining be exempted from the Fair Labor Standards Act on account of the highly seasonal nature of placer mining.
 On motion duly made and second ed, the meeting voted to request the U. s. Board of Geographic Names to change the name of Mt. Jumbo highest peak on. Douglas Island on Gastineau Channel, to Mt.

 The two Senators joined with Vice President Arthur and tn e Governor of New York in writing letter objecting to the appoint ment of MT Robertson as Customs Collector for the Port of New York. The President made the appoint ment, however and the Senate con- firmed it.
 Conkling and Platt immediately resigned in protest and went to the State Senate expecting reelection as further mark of disapproval of the action. But the State Senate stood by Garfield after one of the most acrimonious controversies in years. A fanatic was so stirred by the affair, says Senator Ashurst, that he assassinated Garfield.
 Conkling. an outstanding states man, never regained his seat in the Senate and Platt was out for 16 years. Vice-President Arthur, who had joined in protest succeeded

TOUGH, ROUGH :. BATTLE ROYAL
 GOES TONIGHT
GrappIers Commence Fra (ds al 8 O'Clock in EIks
 Hall for Big Event

Tongiht's entertainment in Ju- neau is featured by an la carte serving of wrestling behemoths in a pot pourri of steaming stew or fered at the Elks Club at o'clock this evening
 The first and only time such a gag has been used in the city, Ju- neauites will have the unique priv ilege of seeing six hairy-chested muscle men go for each other by every means, legal and illegal, at one and the same time. The method is simply one of dumping the half dozen man killers in the squared circle and ringing the bell From then on it's every man for himself, including the spectators and the referee.
 After the six grapplers have, by a process of impolite elimination, re- duced their number to two, the me- lee takes up where it left off by the first two wrestlers out tangling in a preliminary match, the next two in a semi-final, and the remaining two going into a final contest to decide the "champeen" of the nights fro lie.
 A real battle royal, the affair will give several of the boys an oppor- tunity to even a few scores against certain individuals behind a screen of tangled legs and flying arms Eustace will get a crack at his good friend Doc Webb here, and some body is apt to get hurt.
 A string of number pros are on the card. Walt Gaston, champion of Old Mexico, Billy Spendlove, wild and woolly ex-Montana champ, Cor don N1ma of Juneau, Doc Webb ot Aux Bay, and Al Greenwald of Ju- neau.
 Bill Byington, in the capacity of referee, will endeavor to assist pro- moter U. D. Moody in the limitation of homicides.
