Studies Marine Borer In Loca! Waters

MT. E. F. Rice, Engineering Department, University of Alas ka, has been in Seward this week studying the destructive effects of marine borers in Res urlection Bay structures. Both the teredo and linnoria are pres ent in these waters, MT Rice stated.
 The object of this project is to find if possible a less eXpen- sive way to. combat the borer than by the use of relatively ex- pensive ,creosoted piling. It has been found that dynamiting around piling just after the breeding season for marine borers will protect untreated piling for a single season. The process must be repeated every year, however.
 All Alaska waters are infest- ed, Mir. Rice explained, and a cheaper control might encourage the use of native timber if it can be protected from the borer, either by installing creosoting plants in Alaska, by the dyna- mite method or some other, still to be discovered, way

A.S.C. Representative
 Commends Longshoremen

Seward longshoremen are due credit for the excellent job they are doing in moving freight here with inferior facilities" The statement was made by Henry Clark, Washington, DC. representative of Alaska Steam ship Company to the Chamber of Commerce this week.
 Washington, DC, Clark re- marked, is a place of confusion and uncertainty" these days, re- sulting from the change of ad- ministration, and cut-backs in funds and personnel. He contin- ued to describe the capital as "a business administration made up of businessmen whose objec- tive is to get the government out of business.
 MT. Clark did not make the statement here that A lask a Steam will go out of the winter passenger business definitely. He did state, however, that only five ships are operating passen- ger service on the Pacific Coast without government subsidy. These are the four Alaska Line ships and the Lurline in the Hawaii trade. All other lines are subsidized.
 Alaska cannot afford dis agreements" Clark remarked in referring to the differences be- tween Southeastern and Western Alaska. He is himself, from Southeastern Alaska, born in Wrangell, where he grew up, and was the first general mana ger of A a k a Development Board.
 Other guests at the Chamber of Commerce this week were Tom Maloney, Alaska Steamship Company, Anchorage, and It. Hanson, US. Air Force, who was passing through town.

JUNEAU NEWS LETTER

w. A. Chipperfield, Alaska's first Land Commissioner, com menced his new duties August 1. The Department of Public Lands was created by Chapter 126 of the 1853 session of the Alaska Legislature.
 Chipperfield recently retired from the United States Forest Service and served in that agen- cy in Alaska for many years. Most recently he had been in charge of the lands work of the Forest Service in the Alaska Regional office.
 The first major job of the new Land Commissioner will have to do with the leasing of school lands. An Act of Congress approved March 1, 1915, reserV- cd Sections 16 and SC Of each township in the surveyed lands of Alaska for the support of public schools. The new Terri torial law provides that the Land Commissioner shall have the administration of and lcaS- ing juris diction Il over these school lands.
 School lands leasing has been handled by the Governors Of flee since 1915. For many years there were few leases of school lands and the revenues of the Public School Permanent Fund were small. Recently, however, with the increased population of the Territory and with addi tional school lands being made available through new public surveys, the leasing of these lands has become increasingly important. During the first half of the calendar year 1853 the Territorial Treasurer reported receipts of S9,472 97 from rent als. Most of this came from the leasing of school.
 The Land Commissioner is presently in Juneau working on the details and procedures for the leasing of school lands For the time being, persons con cerned with the leasing of these lands should communicate with the Land Commissioner, Box 1871, Juneau, Alaska. All pres ent school lands leases will con tinue in effect. The law passed by the 1853 Legislature provides that new leases may not be granted for a term longer than two years.
 In the near future the head quarters office of the Depart ment of Public Lands will be established in Anchorage, as re- quired by the law which creat- ed the department
 In addition to handling the leasing of school lands, the Land Commissioner is authorized and directed to:
 Act on behalf of the Territory with respect to the disposal of materials by the United States from lands withdrawn in aid of the Territory. This will include the leasing of mineral rights and the sale of timber from school lands.
 To ascertain Alaska's lieu or indemnity land entitlement un- der any reservation or grant by Congress and to maintain con tinuing record of such lieu land entitlement.
 To have custody of all land registration records assembled by the Territory. These records have been kept by the Auditor and the Tax Commissioner.
 To prepare proposed land leg islation for submission to the 22nd and subsequent sessions of the Alaska Legislature.
 To accept and exercise admin istrative jurisdiction over all lands granted, transferred or reserved to the Territory includ- ing lands granted or transferred
