(By W. A. S.)
WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 5. —
The recent death of former Con
gressman Judge William C. Hous
ton, of Tennessee, has caused much
sincere regret among his old col
leagues at the national capitol. His
memory will always be held in the
highest regard by Alaskans who
know of his unfailing support of
all measures that had to do for the
benefit of the Territory. He was in
Congress from 1907 until 1921 and
was always a strong supporter for
such measures as civil government
lor Alaska, the Alaska Railroad,
the establishment of the Agricul
tural College and School of Mines,

Commissioner of Fisheries Henry
O’Malley has returned from Alaska
to resume his official duties at his
headquarters in Washington. At
present he is busily occupied with
the budget bureau and has not yet
had time to confer with the Dele
gate from Alaska on the suggested
regulation to open the mouth of
the Yukon River for limited com
mercial fishing, which idea has been
vigorously opposed by those resi
dents of the Interior who live along
the river.
The Washington Star, the other
evening, had the following to say
about some of the recent visitors;
to Alaska: “Eight government of
ficials, including two United States
Senators, Walcott of Connecticut
and Norbeck of South Dakota, and
one member of the House, Repre
sentative Carter of California, are
bubbling with enthusiasm over
their summer farthest North. The
others were Henry O’Malley, Com
missioner of Fisheries; Assistant
Attorney General Charles P. Sis-1
son and Charles B. Rugg; Paul Red- \
dington, Chief of the Biological j
Survey, and Carl Shoemaker, secre- ;
tary to the Senate Committee on
Wild Life Resources. The party
left Seattle on June 28 on Com
missioner O’Malley’s inspection ves
sel, USS Penguin. Putting in at
Metlakatla, Alaska, the wayfarers
proceeded in turn to Ketchikan,
Anan Creek, Juneau, Western Al
aska, Bristol Bay, the Pribilof Is
lands, Walrus Island, Unalaska,
Kenati Peninsula and McKinley
Park. At Anan Creek they saw
something to make a fisherman’s
mouth water — one of the many
“counting weirs” which the Bureau
of Fisheries maintains in Alaska
under the White Law, providing
that there shall be a 50 per cent
escapement to spawning beds.
Some 350,000 fish were disporting

TAXPAYER MAY HAVE TO
DIG DEEPED INTO POCKET
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. (/P)—
The American taxpayer probably
will know in a month or six weeks
whether Congress will be asked to
dig deeper into his pocketbook.
Treasury experts are trying to
solve the problem presented by
declining tax receipts and mount- j
ing expenditures, whether it is for
tax revision or continuation of j
the present borrowing policy with
consequent increase in the public
debt, President Hoover must pass
on before it goes to Congress.
