[ GAME RESERVES OPPOSED
Senator Wolcott, chairman of
. the Special Committee on Con
• scrvation of Wild Life, has indi
• cated that there will be no legis
• lation this session toward creat
; ing either Admiralty, Chichagof
I or Baranof Islands into a brown
; bear sanctuary or a National
• Park. Agitation, however, along
' (this line continues and yester
► day a Senator inquired of the
i Delegate whether it was really
: tiue that the Government was
: arranging to sell Admiralty Is
: land. One of his constituents had
; reported that this was to be
; done. But of course no one in
Washington had heard of any
such move.
ALASKA BONE DRY LAW
-x
Since the bill to repeal the
Alaska Bone Dry Law was intro
duced in the House by the Dele
gate on Dec. 8th last, but three
protests against the enactment
cf this bill have been received
from Alaska, and they were
from two families. The opposi
tion has been from organization?
with representatives in Wash
ington. The committee that has
held several hearings on the
bill, the last being on Feb, 16,
has practically decided not tr
favorably report the bill. They
are considering, however, favor
ably reporting that certain u
mendrnents be enacted to the
Alaska Bone Dry Law so as to
bring it more in harmony with
ihe Volstead Act.
APPROPRIATIONS BILL
-x
On the evening of Feb. 16th
the House passed the Interior
Department appropriation bill
for the fiscal year beginning
July 1932. So far as Alaska i?
concerned there were no de
creases from the amounts re
commended by the Appropria
tions committee—neither were
there any increases.
SMITH-HUGHES ACT
-x-—
Delegate Wickersham hesitat
ed about introducing a bill to ex
tend the. Smith-Hughes Act tc
Alaska, because, after investiga
tion, he was uncertain as to the
value of this Act to Alaska and
whether .the Federal Board fo’
Vocational Education would ap
prove such a bill. The Act would
provide the minimum of $10,00f
for agriculture, $10,000 for trade
home economics and industria'
education, and $10,000 for teach
er-training, the $30,000 to os

provided by the Government
when an equal amount was pro
vided for these purposes by the
Territory, Dr. J. C. Wright, Sec
retary of the Federal Board, ex
pressed a doubt as to the Board
approving a bill to extend these
benefits to Alaska until a more
thorough investigation was
made as to Alaska’s needs. He
suggested that the situation oe
hrst studied by a competent in
\estigator, favored by the Gov
ernor and the Legislature. The
matter was then referred by the
Delegate to Governor Parks, who
conferred with Commissioner of
Education Keller, after which
the Governor wrote:
“After a thorough discussion
we decided that it would be
much better if the matter is ap
proached along the lines sug
gested by Dr. Wright. Accord
ingly we will take up the matter
with the next Legislature and re
quest authority to engage the
services of a representative ap
pointed by the Director of Vo
cational Education. If the find
ings are favorable, the matter
will then be presented to you fer
appropriation action.” It is ex
pected that the cost to the Ter
ritory to have the survey made
would be about six or seven
hundred dollars.

POPULATION
-x
A writer inquired of one of th,
evening newspapers “What State
or Territory of the United States
has less than 100,000 popula
tion?” And the reply was “Only
one state, Nevade, and one Ter
ritory, Alaska, are in this class
Nevada had 91,000 and Alaska
,10,000 in 1930.”
FISH HATCHERY
-X
The Ketchikan Chamber of
Commerce is anxious to secure
the erection of^a fisheries labor
atory in their town and is urg
ing Commissioner O’Malley to
•ive serious consideration to the
advantages offered by Ketchikan
ts the logical location for such
a station. The Act of May 21.
1930, authorizes appropriations
Ccr a number of stations and
laboratories in the United States.
;:nder a five year plan. It au
thorizes an appropriation during
the fiscal year beginning July 1,
1934, such amounts as may be
necessary for the establishment
a fishery laboratory in the
Territory of Alaska, at a cost not
to exceed $50,000. Commissioner
O’Malley states that because of
tiie financial conditions there
has been a slowing down of the
program and for the present
year a complete cessation of ail
new construction authorized
under the Act referred to. It is
quite unlikely, therefore, that
projects authorized for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1934, can
be undertaken in that year, in
asmuch as projects authorized
for prior years must be given
fust consideration.

COL. JAMES STEESE
-x
One of the visitors to Wash
ington on Feb. 15th was Col.
James G. Steese, whose head
quarters 'are now in New York
City, from whence he travels to
different parts of the globe in
the interest of a large oil com
pany. He has just returned from
Europe, coming via Australia and
the Panama Canal consuming 40
days in travel. It will be remem
bered that Col. Steese was
President of the Alaska Road
Commission from 1920 to 1927,
with headquarters at Juneau.
While in Washington, he was
shown a copy of the Seward
Daily Gateway containing the
article by Major D. C. Brownell
on the possible invasion of Alas
ka by the Japanese, the Col. in
dicated that he might again be
recalled to active duty in the
Territory to help repel an invad
ing force.
SALARIES OR COMMISSION
-X
It looks now as though Dele
gate Wickersham’s bill to pro
vide salaries instead of fees, to
be paid U. S. Commissioners in
Alaska, will not pass at this ses
sion of Congress because of the
general determination of both
political parties to keep down
appropriations. The House com
mittee on Judiciary referred the
bill to the Department of Justice
and received the following ex
pression from Attorney General
William D. Mitchell:
“The Department has for
some time been considering le
gislation to put Commissioners
ir. Alaska on a salary basis and
is inclined, as a general proposi
tion, to look upon the plan with
approval. However, it would re
quire a new appropriation to
cover the salaries and expenses
of Commissioners in an amount
estimated at $175,000. Against
this there would be offset ap
proximately $37,000 per annum
(fees now received by Commis
sioners from sources other than
the United States), an aggregate
of $46,000, leaving a net addi
tional cost to the Government of
$129,000. In view of the increased
cost to the Government which
this measure would involve, and
because I do not regard its en
actment now as absolutely es
sential and in view of the pre
sent financial situation, I re
commend against its enactment
at this time.”
NOME PROTESTS
-x
Wm. H. Sturtevant, who has
been a resident of Nome and the
far northern country since the
early days of gold discovery, is
spending a few days in Wash
ington and calling attention to
some irregularities of adminis-l
t ration that he thinks should be j
righted in the Second Division. I
Mr. Sturtevant came out last j
November and has been spend
ing the time in Seattle and Cali
fornia, expecting now. to visit
relatives in the New England
states and to return to Nome in
the Spring, likely going in by
airplane from Fairbanks.
NATIONAL PARK EXTENSION
Delegate Wickersham’s bill to
extend the boundaries of the
Mount McKinley National Park
bas been approved by the Sec
retary of the Interior. The Dele
gate added an amendment to
protect locations already made
within the added area and after
a few corrections in description,
the bill was approved „by the
Committee o n Public Lands.
Under the bill the east side ex
tension from Windy Creek north
brings the park boundary to the
