 Urged For
 Water Here

Last few tests have shown Wran- gelrs water supply clearing up Kaarlo Nasi of the Territorial De partment of Health told the Cham Der of Commerce at it's luncheon meeting Monday. but he suggested the installation of a ehIorinatOr by the city to insure a pure supply the year around Installation Of such a machine would cost $350 with oper- ating cost 65 cents a day, he said, pointing out a small dosage of chlorine would kill all bacteria in the water and would be tasteless. Tests of the Department of Health revealed he said, that animal con tamination was causing the impur- ity in the water.
 Petersburg and several other towns in the Territory have install led chlorinators, Nasi said, and they have proven successful in clearing up water impurities. While here during the week end, the health of ficial was in conference with the City Council relative to the water supply and method for insuring a pure supply.
 Nasi also spoke briefly on the pro posed Department of health bill which will be submitted to the forthcoming Legislature and which provides for a Territorial Board of Health.
 Painting of the new Federal building was discussed by the Chamber and eoncensus of the members was to urge that 1t be painted rather than leave it the natural color Present plans do not call for painting. The Chamber has taken the matter up with Custodian James J. Connors at Juneau, the Public Works Agency and Delegate Dimond.
 Lending it's support of the anti tuberculosis campaign the Chamber purchased one of the $5 double barred bonds. Business of naming delegates to the Territorial Cham Der of Commerce meetings in Ju- neau in February was laid over un- til a later meeting.

that effect, a joint resolution will be introduced no doubt, which, if passed, would clear the way for the 18th state).
 The military powers that be may not favor statehood at this time. They figure it's easier to handle a territorial government under even limited-emergency conditions than a state. And if anybody doubts the importance Of Hawaii in Pacific na- val affairs. let him get out his en- cyclOpedia and read up on Pearl Harbor When peace is on the world and we're scrapping ships instead of building them. what the Army and Navy people want doesn't amount to so much. But in times like these. what they want makes big noise under the Capitol dome and all the congressman hear, and a lot of them agree.
 Mixture Of Races
 There is also the problem of ra- eiel make up of the Hawaiian pop ulation. According to the Territorial Board of Health estimates for 194O, the population was made up of 158,849 Japanese. 65,291 Hawaiians or part Hawaiians; 115,836 Caucas- fans; 52,148 Filipinos; 28,809 Chi nese; 6,761 Koreans; and 960 of other nationalities. Of the Cau- casians, nearly 31,OOO were Portu- guese; 7,7O0 Puerto Rican; and 1,- 200 Spanish.
 The military forces just list them, point to the 36 per cent total of Japanese, raise their eyebrows. Out in the Islands, of course, there is an entirely different picture. Nearly 82 per cent are citizens of the United States. Immigration of male Japan ese was prohibited after 1908 and there has been no immigration of Japanese--male or female-since 1924 Thus, of the 34,661 Japanese aliens still in Hawaii, there would be only a very, very small number of males who could possibly be of "the dangerous age' from a mili-i tary standpoint, even if all of them were sympathetic to Japan, which many observers insist they are not
 See Another Trip
 Some facetious fellows hereabouts say that the upshot of it probably will be another congressional junk ct to Hawaii, like that in 1888; that the congressman win vote ito inspect" the Islands again; take a pleasant journey out that way at a time of year; return and report that they would all be very happy to see Hawaii the 18th state and there let the matter rest-atI least until the world settles down.

WASHINGTON - As sure as shooting, steps are going to be ta- ken in the 77th Congress to bring into the union a 18th state. In case you haven't heard, its Hawaii.
 The flag people already have it figured out. The present 68 pattern of stars on field of blue can be rearranged to a TT spacing of the stars without changing the field or making the star pattern look like a crowded section of the Milky Way
 But the flag people have been prepared for "any continency" for a good long time and are probably two hops and skip ahead of con- gress. I doubt if there is a congress- man who isn't fully aware that this "organized incorporated territory and integral part of the United States" as Hawaiians are fond of calling it, isn't about as important as any off-shore chunks of terrain that ever fell into the lap of Uncle Sam. If there is any doubt, let one stare for couple of hours at the islands production figures on sugar and pineapple (to mention only a couple) or their consumption fig ure on mainland tourists (to men tion only one.)
 Nevertheless, this measure to make Hawaii the 18th state is go- ing to meet plenty of opposition or if not opposition" exactly, then lethargy and indifference. This isn't my conclusion. It comes from a score or more of representatives and fenators, some of whom, to say the least, are supposed to have their fingers on the congressional pulse.
 Nobody Can Be Sure
 Nobody can be sure of anything that will happen in Congress until the votes are in (the majority lead CTS in both houses were so wrong about adjournment, for instance) But this is the way they look at the statehood Hawaii situation:
 (There should be here the briet precede that the Islands, in theil recent election, voted 6S per cen in favor of pushing statehood. A soon aa the Hawaiian legislatnE' meets and naeHsaEailizas Canaraaa 6

Montana Normal school, adj
dressed the Hardin Lions club
on Estate Interference Of Inter
state Commerce" The Lions
meeting was held Monday night
in the banquet room of the
Masonic temple with G. w. Gus
tafson, president, in charge.
L. B. McMullen of Billings was
to have been the speaker, but
was taken i'll suddenly and MIR.
Cooper consented to take his
place.
Mr. Cooper stated that many
states passed laws under the
disguise of health measures that
hindered the sale of products
of one state in a sister state.
These laws are passed by Ger
tain groups who are the sole
benefactors.
He cited the case Of Wiscon-
sin dairy cows, the sale of which
was prohibited in New York be-
cause the dairy stock raisers in
that state believed their ready
market was infringed upon. He
also cited the case of Montana
prohibiting the grazing of Idaho
sheep across the border, but
added that the law was re-
pealed when Idaho retaliated
with a similar law.

DRAWS INTEREST

The automobile safety device
invented by Oscar Sullivan of
Hardin has come to the atten-
ton of Eastern manufacturers,
it was reported here early this
week.
The invention is a device
that fastens onto the auto and
runs in a groove in the hard
surfaced highway. To get out
of the grove to turn from the
highway traffic, a lever operat-
ed from within the car lifts
the device permitting the car to
turn.
Mr.. Sullivan has given several
demonstrations of the safety
device and has been requested
to 60 east to display the gadget.
