MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for re-publi
cation of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in
this paper and also all the local news published herein
Alaska newspapers are permitting
Secretary Fall to retire without
protest. In fact, most of the editors
in the Territory appear to be very
willing to see a new mar. take the
job, some of them going so far as
to point out that he has done' ab
solutely nothing for Alaska during
the two years he has been a member
cf the cabinet.
The News believes Secretary Fall
entered the cabinet with very good
intentions regarding Alaska, and if
he did not accomplish many of the
reforms outlined by him, it probably
was because of opposition encounter
ed from heads of other departments.
And Secretary Fall’s successor will
meet with similar opposition if he
suggests any radical reform in the
manner of handling Alaska's affairs.
The obstacles in the way of reform
are too many for any one member
of the cabinet to overcome without
active, intelligent support from the
President. And the President will
not be able to give that kind of sup- i
port until he has made a trip to the
Territory and made a personal sur-'
vey of conditions and requirements.
Unlike other Alaska newspapers.
The News itally regrets the retire-:
ment of Secretary Fail. He is a
Westerner, forward in Iris ideas and!
big enough to handie the Alaska
problem if given the opportunity.
Other secretaries have pointed out
defects in the administration of the
Territory, but Secretary Fall was
really the first to formulate anything
like a definite Alaska policy.
The retirement of even a com
monplace secretary of the interior
should be a matter of regret among
Alaskans. It has been demonstrated
that good secretaries cannot do
very much to improve conditions
in Alaska, but the principal handi
cap under which the Territory has
struggled in recent years has been
the frequent changing in department
heads. Whenever it becomes neces
sary to name a new secretary' of the
interior Alaska gets a setback and
that is the way it wili continue to
be so long as jurisdiction over the
affairs of the Territory remains
-scattered among a lot of cabinet'
officials and petty bureau officials,
all of them rendered more or less
inefficient by constant maneuvering
for additional authority.
When the Interior department ap
propriation bill was under discussion
in the house recently, certain mem
bers resented the faC; that game
wardens in Alaska were allowed
a little more than wardens in the
States, for necessary items of ex
pense. the cost of liviug in Alaska
being estimated by the committee
at about twenty per cent more
than in the States. But only one
member protested against an item
of $5,000 for the purchase of a
new automobile for Secretary Fall.
A change in fur regulations pro
hibits the killing of blue foxes in
Southeastern Alaska and portion of
the Westard region except by fur
farmers or their authorized agents
on their own land, according to tele
graphic advices received from Wash
ington by E. P. Walker, chief of the )
Bioligica! Survey in Alaska. This
regulation closes the open season for j
blue foxes, hitherto in existance for'
all foxes in these regions says the
Juneau Empire.
Mr. Walker is not able at this j
time to state exactly which portions
of the Westard region are included
in the regulations as the advice was
not clearly defihed. He expects to
receive a written confirmation as to
the regulation, on OBe of the next
boats, when he will make known th?
exact regulation.
The regulation has been made as
a protection to the fox farmers from
poachers, Mr. Walker said, and elim
inated any excuse that foxes caught
are taken from lands outside of re
serves.
There, are few blue fox running
wild in these districts, Mr. Walker
said.

WERNECKE TELLS OF MAYO
NOT SURE ABOUT FUTURE
Mr. Livingston Wernecke, the res
ident manager of the Treadwell in
terests at Mayo passed through
Skagway recently on his way out
from Mayo district. He has begn
at the mines for the past several
months and what he has to say in
the matter of ore and mining may
therefore be considered as of one
who is conversant with conditins
there and understands what he is
talking about, says the Skagway A
laskan.
Speaking to a representative of
the Daily Alaskan. Mr. Wernecke
said that the work on the Treadwell
property and on other property for
that matter is very satisfactory for
the summer months. The Treadwell
people have been using a large trac
tor for hauling their ore from the
mines to the Mayo Landing, and
they are finding this method of
hauling very satisfactory. With this
machine they are able to haul al
most as much ore as are the Gugen
heims. who haul with forty-eight
horses. The amount the Treadwell
people are taking to Mayo Landing
is about 700 tons a month. The o
ther people are exceeding this a
mount by a small margin, thus
making about 1500 tons per month
ard this will continue for six months
when it is expected, according to
Mr. Wernecke, that about 9.000 tons
of high grade ore will be landed at
the river ready for transportation
to the smelter via St. Michael.
Questioned as to whether the
Treadwell people would build a.
welter at Mayo this year, Mr. i
Wernecke 'rated that there was no
thing to rt. He stated that it
would be necessary to have 50.000
tons of ore in sight to warrant the
construction of a smelter, and that j
die Treadwell company at present
had not more than 43,000 tons in
sight. He admitted that with 50,000
tons of ore in sight a mill could
be put up, and pay for itself in the
smelting of that amount, from the
difference in the cost of hauling
and freight charges as the work is;
, now being done.
As to the future, Mr. Wernecke j
said that rt looked good, but devel
; opment had not advanced far en- ;
ough to warrent any great predic-!
I tions as to the future. The work of.
development this winter will be car- i
; ried on as heretofore.
The full development of the camp
i will be a slow process covering a
| number of years.
