ALASKA COMES BACK.
The month of March, annually the
scene of the migration to Alaska of
cannery workers, prospectors and
others who work only during the
summer in the Northern Territory,
has shown an unusually heavy pass
enger movement, says a recent num
ber of the Railway and Marine
News. It is a promising indication
i f a year of great activity. Yet to
come is the movement of laborers
for the railroad, and probably a rush
to Hyder.
MERCHANT MARINE BILL.
The senate commerce committee,
of which Senator Wesley L. Jones
of Washington is chairman, recently
amended the shipping bill providing
for the promotion and maintenance
of the American merchant marine
so that it would exclude the Can
adian Pacific steamships from the
freight and passenger traffic between i
American ports. It would make it!
SO the Canadian steamships could j
not sell through tickets from Alas*
ka to Seattle or from Alaska to the
East. If the bill should pass as
amended it would make it so that
Canadian steamships could not carry
freight originating in the United
States and coming to the Pacific
coast via a Canadian railroad. The
measure also would prevent the
White Pass & Yukon from carrying
American goods from Whitehorse,
in Canada, to Nenana or other
Alaskan points.
The bill, H. R. 10,378, which
passed the house of representatives
last fall, went to the senate No
vember 10, 1919, and was referred
to the senate committee on com
merce. Hearings were held on, the
measure last winter. Among the
amendments decided upon was one
adding section 25 to the measure.
It reads:
»ec. io. That no merchandise
shall be transported by water, or by
land and water, on penalty of for
feiture thereof, from one point in
the United States to any other point
in the United States, including any
territory, district, or possession
thereof, either directly or via a for
eign port, or for any of the trans
portation, in any other vessel than
a vessel built and documented in the
United States. No agent or em
ploye of a common carrier shall
check baggage, issue bills of lading,
or otherwise arrange for through
carriage of property between ports
or places in the United States, in
cluing districts, territories, and de
pendencies, when all or part of the
carriage is in a foreign vessel, and
no person in the capacity of agent
or otherwise, directly or indirectly,
by means of a ticket, understanding,
order, or any form of contract what
soever, shall sell or contract to sell
to any person the right to travel by
water, or by land and water, either
directly or via a foreign port, or
for any part of the transportation,
on a foreign ship, between ports
or places in the United States, in
cluding districts, territories and de
pendencies. Any person violating
any of the provisions of this section
shall, upon conviction, be fined in
[any sum not exceeding $1,000.”
Word comes from Washington
I that the feeling there is strongly in !
favor of legislation of this sort or I
| any other character that • may
I be designated as “pro-American.”
| The anti-Canadian provision was
i vigorously opposed by Delegate
i Grigsby, as reported in press dis
j patches to The News, but it is not
i known here as yet whether or not he
j was able to eliminate the objeetion
jable features.
OTHERS SUFFER.
A bulletin issued by the Pacific
Reserve bank says the supreme coun
cil of the peace conference, in a
recent memorandum, placed the eco
nomic situation of the world frankly
before the nations. That memor
andum states that general wholesale
prices have advanced since 1913 ap
proximately as follows:
United States—120 percent.
Great Britain—170 percent.
France—300 percent.
Italy-BOO pcrcrnt.
Belgium—300 percent.
Those, be it remembered, are
wholesale prices. Retail prices un
doubtedly have advanced an equal
or greater extent. The United States
has suffered less than the other na
tions, but even at that, points out
the Alaska (Juneau 1 Daily Empire,
the strain has been severe on every
citizen.

Two surveys will be carried out
in Interior Alaska during the pres
ent summer, according to an an
nouncement issued recently at Ju
neau from headquarters of the Alas
ka division of the general land of
fice. One of these will be made on
the Yukon and Tanana rivers for
the benefit of settlers on isolated
homesteads, and the other will ex
tend a survey from a short distance
south of Fairbanks to McCarthy, on
the upper Tanana river.
The work on the Yukon and Tan
ana rivers will be carried out under
the supervision of Frank Warner
and will include surveys at Eagle,
Circle, Tanana, and possibly other
places. The survey south of Fair
banks will be in charge of E. C.
Guerin and will cover approximate
ly 90 miles, extending from a point
nine miles south of Fairbanks to
McCarty along the Richardson high
way. where permanent stakes will
be put in for the benefit of future
surveying panties.
Mr. Warner, after completing his
work in the isolated sections, will
, proceed to Fairbanks and remain j
, there during the winter and make
[whatever surveys are wanted by the
homesteaders in the Tanana Valley
region. The parties will leave Ju
neau in time to catch the first boat
down river from Whitehorse after
the opening of navigation through
Lake Labarge.
ALASKA BONE DRY
LAW RANKS FIRST
That the Volstead prohibition act
to enforce the prohibition amend
ment to the Constitution does not
supersede the Alaska bone dry law
in the Territory is the opinion (riven
recently at Juneau by Judge Jen
nings of the district court, in deny
ing new trials to John Wagner and
Arthur Abatte, who were prosecuted
and found guilty of a violation of
the territorial law in regard to in
toxicating liquor.
The Volstead act is not nearly so
drastic as the Alaska law, points I
out the Juneau Empire. It forbids■
the manufacture and sale of intoxi- ]
eating liquor, but it does not make
it a crime for one to have liquor i
in his possession. It fixes $500 fine i
as the maximum punshment, and
does not allow jail or prison sen- |
tences. Under the Alaska law the ;
possession of liquor is an offense i
and the punishment may be a tine
of $1,000, with imprisonment added. J
Judge John R. Winn asked for a J
new trial for Wagner and Abatte on i
the grounds that they should have j
been represented under the terms of !
the Volstead act.
Judge Jennings, after having the j
question under advisement for sev-!
eral days, held that, while the Vo!- J
stead act applied to the Territory,
it did not repeal the Alaska law.
The Volstead act specifically states
that where other legislation does, not
nonflict it shall remain in force.
Judge Jennings in giving his opin
on said that he would like to see a j
lase appealed so that an opinion j
night be received from the circuit !
.'ourt of appeals.
