COMMUNICATION

Juneau, Alaska, To the Editor of The Empire: Referring to a dispatch from Washington in The Empire of February 28 on statements by Dr. Gabrielson cn the salmon of the Columbia River, that the Columbia River in Oregon is the greatest nat ural salmon stream in the world. The good Dr. must have his streams mixed up, because the Yu- kon river carried more salmon, and the largest, 1l6 pounds, was caught August 6, 1913. Again, while we have some salmon left in Alaska, we do not want to forget that the great big salmon fish pond is off the coast of Siberia, where the mighty streams of Ob- Yenisl, Leana and Amur, all over 2,500 miles long, carry more salmon than the Colum- bia and all of it's tributaries.
 Sincerely,
 (Signed) JOE SPRAGUE.

SkAGWAY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NOW READY FOR ACTON
Delegates Meet win Ierr Chamber and Juneau
 Members

Two members, of the newly reactivated Skagway Chamber of Commerce, Dr. c. L. Policy dentist, and c. A. Carroll, are here to con- fer with members of the Terri tcrial Chamber of Commerce and members of the Juneau Chamber on questions affecting both cities.
 Policy stated Skagway was going to have a good and busy summer. The dike along the Skagway River will be repaired, temporarily, under Rivers and Harbors Appropria- ticn, he stated, the cost to be S6500O.
 Other projects to be undertaken this year include re-laying of two miles of track on the White Pass and Yukon Route. E. w. Elliott Co. is the contractor for this job.
 Work has been started on re- modelling of the former Army Hos pital, which is to be used as a tuberculosis sanitorium.
 Speaking of the future, the men said Skagway was pushing a Fairbanks road, via Skag- way. Six miles of a road between the Lnn Canal cyity and Haines have been completed and six more will be built this year, they said.
 In the near future the question of whether Skagway should own it's own light, power and water company will be put on the ballot at a special election. Skagway Public Service has already been appraised by the same Kansas City firm that appraised Ketchikan Power 10 years ago.
 Both men said the Skagway Chamber was on record as favoring the $l20,000 appropriation for the proposed Alaska Developme n t Beard, now before the legislature,
 The delegates will be in Juneau until sometime today conferring with various bodies and yesterday met with the executive board of the Juneau Chamber.

ABOUT THAT TRIP

The Douglas basketball team, the Huskies, summarize their first trip abroad as follows by reported Bill Devon:
 Te Douglas Huskies left Juneau enroute to Skagway at midnight Friday, February B, and after en- countering sloppy weather which made things look bit green" the troup arrived at Skagway at 1:25 D. m., February 24 Upon reaching port, the first move was to secure lodgings which were very graciously supplied by former Douglasites w E. Feeros, Walter Savikkos, Sammy Nelson, with two of the group staying with the Bytenger family in Skagway. During the afternoon the boys secuted around the old historic city. digging up the stories of noted Soapy Smith and other gold boom yarns. The boys report the Skagway gym as being in fine condition, although much smaller than the one at Douglas. The even- ing of the first day, all attended a movie and then retired
 First game was played Monday night. with Douglas winning by a score of 43 to IA. Next evening the win was repeated by score oi 38 to 23.
 All report that the Skagway team members were fine sports, fighting adversaries and friendly. Their coach is Walter Savikko, a former Douglas man, who is superintendent of schools in addition to being coach. He is a brother of Bot Savikko, member of the Husky team.
 After the final game turkey dinner was given for the boy.

and a few friends by one of the Douglas men, John Martin, at his Skagway Derby Inn.
 The boys boarded their vessel, the Donjac, for home Wednesday morning at 9:20 o'clock and en- joyed perfect sunshiny weather all the way, arriving in Juneau harbor at 9:30 p. m. Members of the team wish to take this opportunity to thank Capt. Ralph Mortinson, skipper of the Donjac, for all the things, large and small, that he so willingly did for all
 Coach for the team was Earl Miller, who substituted for former Coach Gentner. Making the trip were Bob Savik- ko, Louis Bennett, Billy Devon, Dick Mccormick, Bill Kelsey Cur tis Bach, Ralph Kibby, Mickey Pusich and Obert Havdahl, players; and Jim Mccormick and Herb Bennett, manager and scorekeeper, respectively.

RAMA HOWELL E BACK IN JUNEAU:
 PLANS TO STICK

Rationing never will be a problem in Alaska, because Alaskans stick to their slogan: Buy what you need, cat what you buy and conserve Alaska's food supply" declared Irma Novel;. OPA press and trade direc- tor fer Alaska, in a newspaper story in Seattle last week Miss Novel; was enroute to her headquarters in Juneau.
 Alaskan retailers are not faced with unexpected drains upon their merchandise from surrounding towns as they are in the States said Miss Novel; You know what would happen if word got around that Seattle store had nylons; Everett. Benton, Tacoma would be down in a few minutes In Juneau, you'd have to grab plane to get those nylons at Anchorage which would make them pretty expensive stockings.
 'AlaskanS have their own volun- tary system of rationing, however. If an item is getting low on the shelves, the retailers put up sign, one to customer, similar to cigarette rationing here. Tires and tubes are the only rationed items in Alaska"
 Miss Howell came north by Pan  American World Airways, after at tending OPA conferences in Wash ingtcn, D. C., Denver and New York City. The meetings were held to plan a public information program for 1945 price control.
 Miss Novel;. who has lived in AL aska for two years, said she was glad to be going back. I'm an Alaskan

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT TO MAINTAIN ALASKA AND HAYNES HIGHWAYS

The Canadian Government has informed the United States War Department it will maintain those parts of the Alaska Highway and the Haines cutoff, which lie with in its boundaries, according to in- formation made available to Dele gate Bartlett.
 Assumption of this responsibil- ity will be taken on April 1, 1946, at which time the Canadian por- tions of both highways revert to the Dominion through agreement reached between the United States
The Nome nugget., 1945-12-26

and Canada when plans were drawn up for construction of the highway.
 At joint conference between representatives of the Canadian army and the Commanding Off cer of the Northwest District, Sixth Service Command, United States Army, specifications were drawn up as standard for main tenance of the roads. The specifi- cations are to be used as plan for achievement in order to keep the highways in as good a condi- tion as possible with the amount of money available.
 The roadbed would be graded to a width of twenty-six feet, and horizontal curves would be no sharper than six degrees except in mountainous terrain, according to the standards set forth in the specifications. The surface would be bladed free of snow during and immediately following a snowfall to prevent ruts and an accumula-

This is responsibility that has been shrked by the Federal government long enough
 Now, due to the insistent efforts made by Dr. AL brecht and others recognizing the serious threat thing may be done.
 It has been suggested that the people of Alaska cough up $250OOO to be matched by $25O0O0 appropriated by the Federal government. In other words asked to do what the Federal government hasn't done and should have done This is what is known passing the buck"
 Dr. Albrecht recently pointed out that the death rate from T. B. for natives 346 per 1000 900 population compared with 55 per 100000 for whites alone This a ratio of to l.
 In other words if the Federal government would match the Territorys $25O,OOO at the ratio the Federal governments matching funds should total $1,75OO0O.
 If the people of Alaska take this Ideal" special session of the Legislature next year the next step will probably be another buck passing of the problem of educating Alaskas natives another place where the Federal government has failed and another and per haps the main for the ptiful economic plight of the Alaskan native

ment which gives them national representation but collects taxes-whanged at by unketng Congressmen being too ignorant to govern themSelVeS-are soon to be called on tackle problem which has long been the responsibility of the Federal government but which the national has failed mseraby to even dent.
 The people of Alaska are to be asked to spend $5OOOO for special session of the Territorial Legsla ture to appropriate another quarter million dollars TOT the purpose of hospitazng cases of Whcn there are in Alaska for it's population than any other spot on the North American continent.
 It is estimated by the Territory able Commissioner of Health Dr. Albrecht, that Alaskas small population has some 4OO0 active of tuberculosis The death rate has been set at 13 times that of the national age It is serious problem and which must be met as soon as possible because 1t will become larger each year.
 The Territory could we'll keep the tuberculosis prob- lem among the white population under contro-and has done so The incidence of the dread disease among the white population of Alaska is estimated at present as only slightly higher than the national average and Tn some years has been lower than the national average
 It is among the Indians Eskmos and Aleus that the disease has raced unchecked until there almost 4OOO people, alone In fact the recent report of the House Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations for Congress states that there are than 4O00 cases of tuberculosis among the natives ot Alaska
 This same report states 'The Indian Service in Alas ka is lacking ptfuy in rendering appropriate service to natives which it has jurisdiction
 This is probably an understatement ot fact
 The incidence of tuberculosis among the natives of Alaska is 10 times great among the Indians in the States proof that the Department of the Interiors Ot- flee of Indian Affairs has greatly neglected it's duty to the natives of Alaska.
 There is no reason why the T. B. germ should thrive better in the Alaskan climate than in the States The fact that the incidence of B. among white in Alaska corresponds so closely to the national average should tend to bear this contention out.
 should be noted that any funds used to provide for the treatment of T. B. will be wasted if nothing continues to be done about the deporabe sanitary and health conditions existing not only in the homes of the native peoples of Alaska but in of the Indian Of flee institutions The recently abandoned Eklutna na- tive boarding house, which visited this year, was disgrace to the United States Who knows how many cases of T. B. spread there?
 Real poverty, and almost the only poverty found in Alaska exists among the natives for which the Federal government assumed responsibility far back as the Treaty of Cession. One survey-the only one we know of-ound that in native village with 79 houses and
 total of 514 individuals income including relief to- taed for year $66415 $84O per house and $129 per person.
 It is not possible in Alaska, where living costs hgh to maintain health and decency such income

tion of frozen snow. All snov would be cleaned off the roadwa, and shoulders just prior to tn, spring thaw. Frequent summer blading to prevent ruts or corru cations would be made. Route pa. trolmen would keep the highway free of fallen trees, rocks and other debris.
 The War Department has recom- mended that funds be obtained for the fiscal year l947 by either the Alaska Road Commission or the War Department for the mainten- ance of the portions of both the Alaska Highway and the Haines cutoff which lie within the boun- daries of Alaska.
 Thomas H. Macdonald, Com missioner of Public Roads Admin iStration, accompanied the sub committee of the House Roads Committee on its inspection trip to Alaska last summer, and it is believed he will recommend main tenance of the Alaska portions Of both highways.
 ALASKA OIL
 The surface indications of the potential oil fields in northern Alaska are the best ever seen by Captain Bart Gillespie, according to his recent testimony before the House Naval Affairs committee. Capt. Gillespie, USNR, has been in active charge of the oil explo- ration project in the Barrow, Alaska, reserve, and has been in the oil business for many years prior to his service with the navy.
 The committee was held to de- termine the desirability of contin- uing the exploration work through private contractor, since most ex- perienced naval men who have been at the field will be released from service It was agreed that testimony proved the value of continuation, and the navy will let contract at an early date.
 All witnesses were optimistic as to the possibility of discovering real oil fields in northern Alaska. Commodore w. c. Greenman, USN, Director, Naval Petroleum Reserves, stated that he believed it was altogether possible the Bar row fields could be as extensive and valuable as those in Califor- mia.
 Commodore Greenman stated that preliminary pipe line sur vey has been completed furnish ing the basis for detailed pipe line location survey if oil is found in sufficient quantities to warrant the installation of such facilities. The flow of oil in northern Alas ka is such that its transportation during the winter offers no prob lem. The pipe line would be a minimum of sixteen inches, laid on the surface at a cost of between sixty and ninety million dollars, depending on its location and ter minus.
