! from the Department of Inter
j ior's General Land Office at
Washington, D. C.. following
: about six weeks’ investigational
: work throughout the Territory.
Price has been principally in
terseted in conservation measur
es in which the land office might
engage in Alaska .he stated. He
has investigated possibilities of
reforestation, re-seeding in for
est areas, destruction of noxious
weeds, erosion control and water
sher protection on public lands.
Coote has been studying Alas
kan problems in land classifying
and measuring. He has gone oveT

TREE SEED TO ICELAND
JUNEAU —Alaska spruce and
hemlock will soon be growing in
j Iceland if conditions are favor
able.
The United States forestry ser
vice in Juneau is in receipt of a
check for $200 sent by Haakon
Bjarnason, superintendent of the
state forestry service at Reyka
javik, Iceland. With the check
Bjarnaison requested seed for
spruce and hemlock.
The seeds will come from the
Prince William Sound area,
where the climate is similar to
that of Reykajavik. The particul
ar species being sent have never
been grown in Iceland, but be
cause of climatic conditions and
the similarity with other timber
growing there, foresters expect
the seeds to grow well.
Last year the United States
forestry service sent similar
seeds to the same region.

M. W. Goding, Office of Delegate
I A bill wihich is of quite gen
eral interest in Alaska because of
the large number of fourth-class
postoffices in the Territory pass
ed the House of Representatives
on July 21. It is H. R. 965, to
place postmasters at fourth-class
post offices on an annual-salary
basis and fix their rate of pay.
Fourth-class post offices are
those where the gross postal re
ceipts are less than $1,500 per!
annum and postmasters are at |
present compensated on the
amount of cancellations at their i
office. The present bill proposes:
a scale of salaries which is based
on the gross receipts of each of
fice and which ranges fro $72
to $1,100 per annum.
The House passed on July 21
the bill, S. 505, which makes pro
ision for payment of employees
of the United States Govern-!
ment, its Territories or posses-j
sions, or the District of Colum
bia, for military leave when or
dered to active duty with the
military or naval forces of the
United States. Under present law
which provides that an employee
of the Government cannot re
ceive two salaries persons who
are drafted or who volunteer
their services may lose their ac
cumulated leave which they
would receive if they resigned to
go into private business or in
dustry.
By order of June 25, 1941,
which was filed July 7, 1944,
