The House Committee on Terri
tories, of which Delegate Wicker
sham is a member, held its first
meeting on January 5. A hearing
was given to H.R. Bill No. 500, in
troduced by the Delegate to author
ize the construction of a coal bunk
er as a part of the Alaska Railroad
at Seward, and to appropriate the

Secretary of War Hurley has j
transmitted to the House a favor- j
able report from the Chief of En
gineers on preliminary examina- i
tion and survey of Wrangell harbor. ]

In the new budget there is no j
appropriation for the maintenance
of the twro agricultural experiment
stations in Alaska, and the matter
has been taken up by the Delegate
with the appropriations sub-com
mittee. in the hope of securing an j
appropriation so that these sta- j
lions may continue their effective
work. It is the plan of the Depart- j
ment to close the experiment sta- '
tions in Alaska, Guam and the Vir- !
gin Islands about July 1, 1932. and j
this saves $126,470.

In the matter of the homestead ;
Dr headquarters of Stephanius !
Sandberg, the Register of the dis- -
trict land office at 'Anchorage has
decided that Mr. Sandberg cannot
apply for a free survey for a home
stead as he does not show any cul
tivation as required under the
homestead laws, and that in an ap
Dlication for a homesite the appli
cant is required to pay for the sur
vey in accordance with the regula
:ions governing trade and manu
facturing sites. Attorney LeFevre,
af Juneau, has taken an appeal
from this decision to the General ■
hand Office at Washington, for the '
reasons that the Register erred in I
lolding that to obtain a free sur
/ey for a homestead or headquar
ters applicant must show cultiva
tion, and because he erred in hold
ng that an applicant for a home
site is required to pay for the sur
vey.
