When Representative Buchanan j
spoke on the amendment to the
Agricultural Bill that -would pro
vide for the continuance of the
Matanuska experiment station, he
said: “It may be that it is in the
interest of the country and the de
velopment of the railroad, and that,
therefore, there would be a smaller
deficiency necessary for the opera
tion of the railroad. Let us see
what Alaska gets under this bill.
She gets $27,000 from the Hatch
and Lever extension acts; $25,705
under the reindeer appropriation; f
SI6,900 for musk-ox investigations; j
for the enforcement of the Alaska
game law there is $105,966; for for
est highways, $350,000; or a total
without this Matanuska station, of
$525,771. These are the facts. I
jsubmit the Question to you.”

People of Fairbanks write that
they are anxious to have a road
built from their town to Chena
Hot Springs, a distance of GO miles.
It is maintained that this would
lead through a promising mining
section to a delightful summer re
sort and into a section that abounds
with game and fish.

The Seward Chamber of Com
| merce has addressed a letter to
j Senator Howell, with copies to Sec
retary of the Interior Wilbur and
Delegate Wickersham, setting forth
that for 10 years past Seward mer
chants have been enabled to have
their goods shipped from Seattle
to Woodrow at a less cost than to
Seward. The freight would then j
be handled by delivery wagons j
back to the terminal point. Now !
Woodrow has been discontinued as j
a shipping point and the nearest {
point beyond is Primrose, 18 miles j
from Seward, and not reachable j
by vehicle of any kind other than I
by rail or by boat via Kenai Lake.
The change is protested.

Peter E. Olsen, secretary treas
urer of the Alaska Fishermen’s
Union at San Francisco, left for
the West January 1 after spending
10 days in Washington. He was
here to advocate the passage of the
Welch bill, which provides that
floating canneries in Alaskan wa
ters shall only operate when their
owners in December shall indicate
where they intend to get their fish
the following season. As the Ma
rine and Fisheries Committee will
not have a hearing on this par
ticular bill for several weeks, Capt.
Olsen made a deposition favoring
the bill and urging an amendment
Others are expected here later to
oppose the bill.
Bishop Peter Trimble Eowe, in J
charge of the Episcopal activities i
in the North, and Dr. Grafton
Burke, in charge of the hospital at j
Fort Yukon, have been in Washing
ton the past week. They visited
the Interior Department and en
tered their protest against the high !
rates that are charged for freight■
and passenger service cn the Alaska 1
Railroad, and at the Department of
Justice they made a plea for the
reappointment of Judge Cecil H
Clegg in the Fourth Division.

LOST VflLLE! OP GOLI
IN ALfiSKfl, NEW IDEA
From Seattle comes the strange 1
tale of the formation of an air- i
plane ex|>edition there which will
go to Alaska to search for a fam
ous lost valley of gold. It is said
the expedition is being organized .
by a former Alaskan flier who '
claims he has a clue to the where- :
abouts of this lost valley of gold.
White people, it was said, first j
learned of this alleged valley in |
the days of the Russian occupation J
in Alaska when Indians came to i
them with their pockets bulging ■
with gold. Efforts to then learn j,
where they procured the gold prov- j J
ed of no avail and the mine since ;
became but a legend.
D. A. Quinn, well known former j
resident of Anchorage, who had
been making ills home in the states
for the last three years, died at
Marysville, Wash., two weeks ago,
reports the Anchorage Times.
Large bands of moose and cari
bou are reported to have been re
cently sighted in the Interior.
The Alaska Game Commission’s
! estimateds for appropriations for
the next fiscal year have been cut
$2,400 and reductions were also
made in the Biological Survey and |
reindeer estimates.
Hope for better prices for furs
this year is based on advances re
cently made on the market.

i
who read the newspapers...
I DON’T read all the ads, any more
than I read the whole of any newspaper or mag
azine. But I do read a good many of them.
“Recently I’ve been reading more than usual,
and I certainly like what Chesterfield has to say
and the way it is said. I would probably like the
cigarette, too, but somehow I just haven’t got
’round to trying it.
“Come to think of it, I can’t tell you why I
smoke this other cigarette. It’s more from habit,
I suppose, than for any real reason.
“I’d never thought about it before, but last
night, at a party, I noticed eight of my friends
— five men and three girls —who had changed
to Chesterfields. They told me that Chesterfields
are milder, that they taste better, that they just
seem to satisfy.
“Of course, cigarettes are a small thing, but,
after all, they give me a lot of pleasure, and a
cigarette like Chesterfield that you hear such
good things about, must be good. Anyway, I’ve
just bought my first package of Chesterfields,
and I believe I’ll find them just like the ads say
} — milder —taste better — pure — satisfy.
