WASHINGTON, aJn. 22.—Governor

JUNEAU VOTES $2,000 TO
SEND DELEGATE EAST
JUNEAU: By a unanimous vote
of all members of the city council,
R. E. Robertson was designated as a
special delegate to present to Con
gress Southeastern Alaska’s petition
for division of the Territory. The
council authorized Mr. Robertson to
incur expenses up to $2,000, and ap
propriated $1500 as an immediate
fund. Ketchikan, Haines, Skagway,
Wrangell and Petersburg will help in
the contribution.
A new bill seking authority for Ju
neau to float a bond issue amounting
to $200,000 has been introduced In
Congress by Delegate Sutheland. This
measure is designed to take the place
of a bill introduced at the beginning
of the session for an issue of $100,000
the latter amount being inserted thru
error, said the delegate.
The proposed bond issue is to pro
vide for the construction of a perma
nent street system and to install a
new sewer system. A survey mad;
last summer by the Street Comini'
tee of the city council indicated it
would cost $200,000 to cover thi._
work.
If congress approves the bill, the
question of floating the issue for the
purpose mentioned will be put before
the people of the community to vote j
on, a majority being necessary before!
the bonds could be placed on Uie mar ]
ket.
TOURIST TRAVEL BRINGS
ICE PLANT TO WRANGELL
As a result of tourist travel during
the past summer, Wrangell is to have
a first-class cold storage plant. The
way it happened was like this: Last
summer a Dr. Leet got to talking a
bout the town to one of the local bus
iness men and he was informed laaC
all the community lacked was a cold
storage plant. Upon the doctor’s re
turn to the States, he informed his'
son of the fact; so the son, being a
cold storage engineer, got in touch j
with the chamber of commerce, be
came interested and bought a ticket
to wrangell. The young man promot
ed stock company and bought two
hirds of the stock and will begin
juilding in a short time.
This is one instance of what tour
sts do for a country. Encourage the j
rade and tourists’ll come.
WASHINGTON, I). C., Jan. 22.—
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
made pub'ic today a letter he had
written to Senator Couzens, of Mich
igan, replying to the letters of criti
cism of the administration’s propos
| als to cut the surtax rate down to 25
per cent. In his reply, the secretary
j cited Couzens himself, as a shining ex
ample of the evils of the present tax
'aw which allows a rich man to make
ail his investments in tax exempt se
I curities and thus avoid paying any
income tax. He called the attention
of Couzens to the fact that the Mich
igan senator had an income of over
one million dollars a year and vet he
did not pay one cent into the nation
al treasury for the support of his gov
ernment. The senator’s criticism of
the Mellon proposal to amend the con
stitution by prohibiting the further is
suance of tax exempt securities was
attacked on the ground that the pres
ent law allowed the senator to avoid
paying taxes when the Mellon pro
posals would force him to pay a tax
by employing his funds in general
business. The secretary directly as^
ed Couzens: "Must a system which
permits a man with an income of ov
j er a million a year to pay not one
cent to support his government re
i main unaltered.”

PLAYS LEADING ROLE IN
PASSION PLAY
r ^ UNOCRWOOD 4 UNOCRWOOO, N. y.
Anton Lang who plays the leading
role 01 the “Christus” in the Passion
Play of Qberannnergau. He, with
thirteen other members of the cast J
is touring the States.
In a letter to the Gateway receiv
ed front Ernest P. Walker, chief fur;
ed from Ernest P. Walker, fur war
den and U. S. game warden in charge
of wild life of Alaska, he states that
the subject of game regulations, inas
much as possible under the existing
act, is up for consideration, and the
biological bureau is inviting organi
ations and individuals to submit their
suggestions and changes in prevail
ing regulations to hint at his office
in Juneau.
Mr. Walker states that a number
)f parties from this section have sug
gested the opening of the moose sea
son on September first and have rec
jmmended a bag limit of one. He
idds: “I recall that you favored a
jone about the town closed to hunt- j
ng. Such regulation would be pos- J
sibu under the existing act. The ad-j
disability of a protected strip on each
-ide of the Government railway, say
me or two miles on each side, has
men discussed, the object of this be- j
ng to protect and afford a check on
he indiscriminate shooting by sec- I
ion men and others from the rail
oad, which results in the destruction
ind driving away of game. These no
loubt, and others are .well worthy ot
mnsideration.”
Recommendations should have sub-;
nitted with them reasons for same
md those involving designated areas
should specifically and clearly out
ine boundaries for such areas.
Suggestions will also be received
>n fur seasons and regulations.
Material must be in the hands of
dr. Walker not later than February
SO.
There is no doubt but that the sea
son for killing moose is unsatisfactory
to local sportsmen on account of the
lake freezing up and navigation be
ing impaired about the time the sea
son closes. To kill moose before the
weather is cold enough is to waste
them. By making the season a month
later hunters could go over the ice by
dog team and bring in any moose
killed without danger of the meat
spoiling.

made it clear in the minds of the in
vestigating committee that Fall had
borrowed $200,000 after negotiating
with Doheny and Sinclair for the
Teapot Dome oil lease, and out of
which Doheny reiterated that he ex
pects to make $100,000,000.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—Charging
it a brazen transfer of public prop
erty for a private consideration and
that the whole Teapot Dome lease is
tainted with corruption, Senator Car
away today moved for immediate ac
tion on his resolution to cancel the
lease.
