Hau Franklin K. bane, as secre
tary of the interior, advocated a
n’unopoiy of contr i over Alaska
affairs within hi- vi department
Alaskans would .is-e raised little
objection to the proposal, for the
reason that they held Secretary
Lane in high regard, knowing him
to be unselfishly interested in the
deve'opment of the urn Tory. But
Alaskans d-- not know Secretary
Fall as intimatelv ns *hey viiil Sec
retary Lane and the suggestion if
ont-nan rule for ;l.i ierrttorv, m
consequence, is no; at all accept
able. The development boar! idea.
• -nginated by Secretary Lane, and
advocated by Chairman Curry, of
the house committee on territories, i
has more the appearance of a help
ful arrangement—the placing of
Alaska affairs in the hands of men
appointed to devote their whole
time to Alaska development and
from whom there would be appeal
direct to the President.
The News does not know Secre
tary Fall to be unworthy of the
large measure of power he seeks
to assume under the previsions of
the New bill; but his opposition to
Government ownership and operation
of railroahs in Alaska is enough to
make Alaskans suspicious of jtira.
If he has his way. he wili turn the
Government railroad over -to some j
private interest to operate, and the
New bill would give nun power to
make disposal of the resources of
the territory in a manner detriment
al to Alaska and Alaskans. The
New- does not say that Secretary
Fall is not to be trusted with the
control of Alaska affairs, but the
territory is too big and the resources
too valuable to be turned over en
tirely to any single cabinet officer
already overburdened with work.

ARRIVAL TEIXi OF DEATH
OF BLACK WOLF AIR SCOUT
A lecent arrival from a tour of
the United States brings the news
of the death of Captain Douglas. of
the U. S. Army Aviation corps, as
the result of his plane falling from
a {treat height.
Captain Douplas. as advance aeent
of the famous Black Wolf Squadron
came North a few weeks prior to
the arrival of the four planes under
the command of Captain Street and.
while at Nenana and Fairbanks,
made many friends who will repret
to hear of his untimely end.
Captain Douplas went up alone
in a small scout plane to watch the
operations of a squadron of bomb
inp planes at practice, at Mitchell
Field. New York, recently. One of
the pombers which happened to be
flyinp ripht under the scout plane
released a bomb, which caused the
bip plane to shoot up suddenly,
striking the scout plane, cuttinp of?
its tail and putting it out of con
trol. From a considerable height the
disabled little machine came hurt
ling down to the sea and, just be
fore it plunged beneath the waves.
Captain Douplas was seen to wave
his hand, as if in farewell.
Tups and rescue craft put out
immediately and recovered the body
of the gallant captain, which was
later buried with full military hon
ors.
