Alaska Planning Council will be a non-funetioning organization during the next biennium unless some po- tent lobbying changes the outline of the general appropriations bill as turned in by the Ways and Means Committee of the House this week in the Legislature at Juneau. In in- troducing the appropriation bill for $4.463.062, the Ways and Means committee made one major cut from the recommendation of the Budget Board which had called for $4.92I,- 383 and that was the elimination of $25,00O for the work of the Plan ming Council The appropriation bill as submitted calls for only $39,O0O more than the appropriation for the last biennium.
 With 10 days of the present ses- sion remaining general belief is that the Planning Council, long a matter of controversy, is doomed to go. Opinion appears to prevail that it has outliyed it's usefulness.
 * * * *
 Introduction of the appropriations bill at the figure given coupled with the defeat of the income tax bill last Saturday gives indication that the Legislature is economy-minded and proposes to stay that way despite the heavy pressure for additional ex- penditures.
 Income tax bill was tagged out in the Senate by a vote of five to three First Divisions two Senators -Roden and Walker-yoted for the measure as did Bownell of the Third. On the mo" side were Coch- ran and Sullivan of the Second, Cof- fey of the Third and Nordale and LaBoyteauX of the Fourth. 1t was the first outright defeat for Gov. Gruenings program, and the first definite indication that the Cover nor's program may be largely doom ed to failure at the present session.
 However, the end isn't yet. This week an income tax, almost identl- cal with the one defeated in the Senate, was tossed into the House hopper Along with it came a gener- al property tax bill providing for one per cent on actual personal real property. a bill for a Scent per package excise tax on cigarettes and measures providing for gross sales

hold with pioneer Editor sully that Wrangell is a good town. 1t may not be "one continual round of pleasure, but we are still, as Edi- tor Sully so aptly put it, devoted 10 the interests of Wrangell South east Alaska and the An-Canadian
 route to the Yukon. only we of 1941 refer 10 "All-Canadian route" as the upper stikine country and this spring even as in 1899 we see freight rolling up the river to Wrangells great interior hinterland.

tax and retail tax.
 Best information is that the Sen ate will nip the second attempt at the income tax bill even if the House passes it and the upshot may be a special session next winter to consider only tax matters.

 As ever in the closing days of the session, fish traps have galloped again onto the legislative scene. Ed Coffey of the Third. who has per sistently during his three sessions of service brought in an anti-fish trap bill or two, was on deck as usual this year, dropping memor- ial in the Senate hopper asking Con gress 10 pass the Dimond bill for gradual elimination of traps over a period of five years. At the same time in the House. Egan of the Third introduced a measure authori- ziug and instrueting the Attorney General to bring action to challenge the right of trap owners to con struct and maintain equipment Ob- strueting navigation
 Next 10 the mining industry. fish trap operators have the most potent lobby in the Legislature. Two years ago the industry defeated such a move by turning on the heat in the closing hours of the session. The trap lobby is no weaker this year than in 1889. It will, too. have the support of the mining lobby with which 1t joined in defeat of the in- come tax bill in the Senate. Fish trap memorial has a tough row To hoe if it survives the next hectic 10 days of the session
 * *
 Interesting fact of Alaska legis- lature, like virtually every legis- Iature in the States, is that in the closing days the cards are turned face up. Lawmakers and pressure groups alike become labeled for just what they are and just what they represent. Legislators, poor souls. the representatives of the people. are the ones who feel the bite of the flame Some independently tough, stay with their guns and go down to defeat or ahead to victory and to heck with the result. Others take the easier road of compromise while still others just give up in despair and go with the majority on any thing Tempers become brit tie, nerves become taunt The strong prevail No finer example of the working of American democracy can be found than in the closing days of a legislative session.

WRANGELL IN 1889

To the editors desk has come, via Mrs Harry Ferguson, one of those rare reminders of the old days ill Wrangell, which. by the way, was spelled with one opp. It is a copy of the "Stikeen River Journal, and "Stikeen" was spelled just like that then with double "e" in the last syllable. The short-lived but color ful Journal is sort of a daddy of The Sentinel, the oldest continuous ly published paper in Alaska.
 Prayed, soiled with age since it's publication on October 28, 1899, and partially torn, this issue of the Journal" is distinctive not only because of some of it's succulent par agraphs but because the inside pages are printed upside down. Run ming through it we see that W. J. SuIly was the Editor and Manager and that calamity had befallen a gentleman referred to as Doe. " This pithy paragraph reflected in some degree the tone of some of Editor Sully's humorous and on- the-job news gathering. Heres the item:
 Ten Dollars Rewardp
 "The above reward will be paid for any information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who did on or about the 21th inst, enter my room and insert vile piece of Limburger cheese under my dress-coat collar previous to my attending the ball on Saturday night last.
 Doc"
 Apparently sympathizing wit Il "Doc", Editor Sully added the fol- lowing editors note:
 "The Doc has our deepest sym- pathy, especially in view of the fact that in consequence of the presence of that all-fired vile smell ling thing, he has forever and for ever lost the idol of his heart. Ed
 Other interesting news recorded included a column on the Alaska

Territorial Convention held in Ju. neau9 the previous week which re suited in the election of Attorney John G. Price of skagway. as the delegate to Washington" Congrat- ulations were being extended MT and Mrs William G. Thomas on their 11th wedding anniversary. Forecast was that the Klondike would produce S20,00O.000 in gold in 1900: Cape Nome. $S,000.O00; Treadwen $3.00O.O0O; Southeast Alaska from Ketchikan to Porcupiue $2,000,0O0.
 Editor sully was touching up his business with this admonition.
 Do you expect us to give you m occasional free line of advertising and take our pay in warm June sunshine? If you do, and you know you do, step up and subscribe for the paper and then don't make such vail when we intimate that you are expected to pay for it. When you have a dollars worth of print ing to be done, bring it to Us in stead of searching the universe for a snide concern to do it a few cents cheaper. You may be a mouse and get credit for being a man here on earth, but his Satanic Majesty and all his cohorts are preparing to hold high jinks over your poor shriveIed soul.
 Among the advertisers. Reid and Sylvester were featuring Miners Supplies. The "Fort Wrangel Brew cry" was specializing in "0ld Fash toned Lager Beer" and advising to "patronize home industry and you will be happy Olympia beer was selling at 25 cents per quart at "The Warwick" Wilson and Syl- vester were operating the Fort Wrangel Mills. Duncan MacKinnon advertised he had "the most com plete outfitting house in Alaska. !" P. c. Jensen had "The Gem res taurant and promised to serve "the best 25-eent meal in town with fish and game in season..
 If you wanted to be up-to-date in Wrangell in 1899 you called at the "Journal' office and had your business cards printed The Wran- gell Symphony Orchestra was fur nishing music for grand ball and supper" on Thanksgiving night with "a big time expected"
 Editor Sully was promising to his readers, editorially, and with keen foresight, that Alaska would become "the greatest fish export ing country in the world"
 Even then Wrangell was a good town as in the focal news" column the Journal quoted as follows:
 Life in Wrangell is a continual round of pleasure, so saith Profess sor Edson."
 Further scrutiny down' the col- unm reveals that professor Edson" was that very night conducting Prof Edsons Assembly dance to take place in the Sylvester block. All respectable citizens" were in- yited and dancing was to begin at S:30 and end with Home Sweet Home" at 11:45.

tire length of our strategic high- ways. It would moderni4e the poor est half."
 The roads comprising this stra- tegic system, as set up by the War department and public roads ad- ministration last year, are:
 U. s. from Greenwich to 0ro- ton and Route 84 from 0roton tc the Rhode Island line.
 U. g. 6 from the New York line at Danbury to East Hartford and Route IS from there to the Massa- chusetts line at Union.
 U. 8. GA from woodbury to Willi- mantle and U. s. 6 from there tc the Rhode Island line.
 U. s. 2 from Norwalk to the Massachusetts line in North Ca- naan.
 U. s. s from New Haven to the Massachusetts line in Enfield.
 This is the pattern upon which minimum requirements are estima- ted to cost $2l ,000000 and full standards, $35. 5.000 900. These roads the report points out, do not ifl- clude Routes 8, 9, 10, IS, 26 and 72 all of which are major arteries. Tn addition, U. 8. 1 east of Groton and U s. 5A on the west side of the Connecticut river north of Hart ford, are not included. It is this latter group with sections of other routes that will require the estima- ted $l00 900 900 worth of construc- ton and reconstruction.
 This largest estimate, the report explains, cover four-lane corstruc- ton only upon roads with a traffic density of 5000 or more vehicles day, while many other states set 4,000 vehicles as the maximum above which more than two lanes should be provided.
 "On the basis of present rev- enues", the report says, with such increases in them as may reasonably be anticipated from conservatively estimated increases in trafi1c, we can look forward to the accomplish ment of these Improvements in the next ten or fifteen years.'
