Pollution Pact
To Rid Potomac
IOf Contamination
Four State Agreement
Planned For River And Its
Tributaries

The Maryland General Assembly
has at last set up machinery whereby,
in cooperation with the Federal Gov
eminent and three other States, the
Potomac River and its tributaries
may be freed of contamination.
Senator Robert Peter, of Montgom-
cry County, was one of a bloc of
legislators instrumental in securing
the passage of an act to fight pollu-
ton. Maryland, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania and the Federal
Government will cooperate.
Governor O'Conor is empowered
under the measure to name commit
tee to represent Maryland on the pro-
posed Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin and to execute
pact with the other affected juris-
dictions in creating Potomac Valley
conservancy district.
The compact would become effec-
tive after it is ratified by the Legis-
lature of the four States and Con-
gress. Consent to the development
Of such pact already has been given
by the national lawmaking body.
The interstate group will be COM
posed of three representatives of each
State and similar number to be ap-
pointed by the President of the
United States.
1t is provided that the Maryland
committee is to consist of the Gov
ernor and two other persons who are
residents of the Potomac Valley basin.
They would serve without compensa-
ton for a two-year term beginning
June l, 1889, but would be paid "ac-
tual expenses"
Maryland would bear its pro rata
share of the Interstate Commissions
operating expenses and would con-,
tribute mot less than $4,000 annual
ly" for two years toward this end.
Power is conveyed to the interstate
group through the Maryland bill to
adopt rules and regulations necessary
to carry out the commissions aims
and to employ engineers, clerical help
and any other experts and assistants
necessary.

BOY SCOUT NEWS
Of Troop 231

This column is being 1DTitten By
the members of the Troop 2S1 IN
an eYldedUor to shoaO the citizens of
Rockville that there is an active
scout troop IN Rockville, and to
teach things which everyone
should k11OaO about scouting. 1t IS
hoped that this column sUiU remain
regular feature of THE SENTINEL.
When a scout has passed his test
for a certain award and received the
proper signature on his advancement
card, he must next wait for a Court
of Honor to roll around in order that
the proper scout officials can examine
him to see that he really knows 'his
stuff. The Court of Honors are held
for the Montgomery county troops
every two months in the winter and
the attendance always included at
least fifteen or more visitors.
The first thing boy must do when
he goes into court is to register the
awards or advancement he is out for
and then he must await his turn when
an examiner is free to go over the
requirements of his award, or ad-
vancement and see if he really de-
serves them.
The examiner, of course cannot
have a great deal of knowledge in
every field of the Boy Scout work,
but very often he will have quite a
bit of knowledge about one subject
and if boy, who might be getting
a merit badge in this subject will find
himself in an embarrassing situation
if he is not quite sure of himself.
After the examination has been
completed and the scouts have regis
tered as to whether they passed or
failed a formal presentation of the
awards take place and member of
the court usually gives short speech
on each award. If a boy happens to
be getting the Eagle badge there is
quite a ceremony made of it,, in
which the boys parents take part.
Thus the Courts of Honor are the
most important parts of the living
scout machine which is carried on.

Fishery Product
 Laboratory Being
 Sought for Alaska
Solution of Yesterdays Puzzle

A bill introduced in the House on June by A. J. Dimond would authorize an appropriation of S50,- GOO to enable the Bureau of Fish cries to establish a fishery products laboratory in the Territory.
 Under the provisions of the bill the Bureau of Fisheries is authoriz- ed to cooperate with the Fisheries Experimental Commission of the Territory. as well as will munich palities, agencies, organizations, or individuals, in working toward the purpose of the Act. It stipulates that $20,000 of the appropriation authorized shall be construed as the Federal participation for match ing the ike amount which was ap- propriated by the Federal Legisla- ture in 1897 for such use. This is particularly in line with the sug- gested plan that has been under consideration for some years to es- tablish fishery products laboratory at Ketchikan.

B HydroeIetirit
 pIanis in Alaska;
 R,f62Horsepowel

Recently released figures from the Federal Power Commission state that there are a total of 32 hydro electric plants in Alaska with a so- tal capacity of 48.l62 horsepower. Plants with a capacity of less than 100 horsepower were not included in the report. Of the 32 plants, 10 are classed as utilities with com bined horsepower totaling 14,7o5, and the other 22 plants are shown as industrial and miscellaneous with total capacity Of 33,457 horse- power.
 In view of the fact that potential water power in the Territory has been variously estimated at between 4 and 5 million horsepower, and was coservatively estimated by the late Alfred H. Brooks of the Geological Survey, at 2,Soo,0oO horsepower, it would appear that with the present development of only a8,162 horse- power the potential waterpower may properly be considered as one of the outstanding undeveloped resources of Alaska
