INCREASE SHOWN IN
 NUMBER VISITING ALASKA
 NATIONAL FOREST AREA

During 194O, 31,2OO people used the National Forests of Alaska for come kind of recreation, according Q estimates made by the Regional Office of the U. S. Forest Service n Juneau. An additional 82,000 people are estimated to have enjoy d the unusual scenic attraction Of
 he National Forest area while 3ruising along the Inside Passage IS tourists or passing through on rips for business and other purpos- es. These estimates are based on data collected by the division super visors, rangers and guards of the Forest Service, and from the steam ship companies.
 The general passenger traffic from Canada and continental United States to Alaska increased substan- tially in 194O over that of 1889. This was undoubtedly due in large part to the employment afforded by the construction work incident to National Defense projects and to lesser extent to somewhat inn proved business conditions. How ever, there was an estimated 20 per cent reduction under the previous year in the number of tourists vis- iting the Territory. This reduction is attributed to unsettled conditions caused by the war.

Note to the Alaska Game Commits sion, Biological Survey F. Du- fresne, | Gabrielson, H. sarber. ct al:
 Recall those Mongolian preasants you released in Wrangell last sum mer to see how they would do? We've been telling you they were getting along in pretty good shape. They are, and here's a little more proof.
 It may be the Wrangell weather, best in Alaska, and one shot of which will make a cripple throw away his crutches, or it may be something else At any rate, one of those Mongolian pheasant cocks which likes to make his home close to town, maybe because the rations are a little better or maybe just because he likes to strut his stuff, has established his headquarters in the vicinity of the M. G. Shain home and not far from the Wrangell pub lie school. And, what he means is headquarters. He doesn't want any foolin'.
 In all his majestic color he par ades about the Shafn yard and down toward the school building. Full of zest from the Wrangell atmosphere, he has selected young Billy Shain, age 5, as his sparring partner. Ev- cry time young. Billy steps, out in

Wheeler Leads
 Senate Fight
 On Lease-Lend
Associated Press

WASHINGTON. Feb 2s - sena- tor Burton Wheeler Of Montana, implacable foe of the British aid bill. denounced it unsparingly as legislation which would strip us of our defenses and invite the chief executive to declare war and create a dictatorship.
 Wheeler omitted any reference to RooseYelt's assertion of last night that the administration con fidently expected early enactment Of the lease-lend program as an all important factor in hemisphere de fense.
 President Roosevelt in a radio broadcast declared defense of the United States involves defense ot all democraeies of all the Ameri- cas and, therefore, in fact Il involves the future of democracy wherever il is imperiled by force of terror.
 Wheeler in a Senate address sharply disputed claims that the bill would help further the inter ests of national defense and pro- claimed anew that he would battle it to the last. In opposition he in- sisted he was speaking for the oVer- whelming majority of Americans who demand to be told whether the Forgotten Man of 1882 is des- tined to be the Unknown Soldier Of 1942."
