Since the present delegate to congress was elected
eight years ago not one important bill, affecting the ♦Ter
ritory as a whole, has originated in his office. On the con
trary, all important measures have been the result of
private activities in Washington. In some instances these
beneficial measures have been opposed by him.
Among these is the leasing law, wherebv capital has
been able to establish cattle and sheep industries on the
islands to the Westward, and reindeer owners have been
able to secure areas for their herds without friction
and overlapning of ranges. Another is the offer of the de
partment of agriculture to charge the fur farming laws
laws to permit tb° fencing of colonies of beaver, where
by a man of small means could farm his animals in their
natural environment, instead of transferring them to
other regions nn^uifed for them.
As yet no valid exnlana tion of this antagonism has
been forthcoming.
So much for gumshoe campaigning and secretly op
posing the desires of the public while dealing out extra
vagant promises.
Something to think about pending the next election.
Anvwav, Cnmro^p Stalin is trying to make Comrade
Trotzky live un to his name.
Income Taxes Poitr Into Treasury—Headline. But
it would have been bigger news if they hadn't.
Nobody reads editorials, some sav. But just bawl
somebody out in one and see what happens.
In Sweden the government pays a bounty on bear.
For hundreds of years this has been in effect and still
there are just as many bear as ever.
METAL DIRIGIBLE TO FLY SOON
The navy’s first all-metal dirigible, embodying many
revolutionary principles in its design, is scheduled to
make its first flight this month. Workmen are hoisting
the two sections into place to rivet them together.
STANDARD oil vessel
I
IN PORT MM I
The Standard Oil company tan
ker, Alaska Standard, will arrive
in Seward from the south May 1,
according to W. C. Erwin, general
manager of. the local headquarters
offices, and will discharge a large
tonnage of supplies for the plant.
W. E. Moultray, superintendent
of all stations in Alaska, will be a
passenger on the vessel from Seat
tle and, in all probability, will go
to Bristol Bay this year. It is also
believed that a large working party
will be sent to this and the West
ward area this season, for the pur
pose of adding extensive improve
ments to the company’s already
large ones. It appears that Seldo
via will be the newest of Standard
Oil stations for the erection of
tanks there is thought to be under
consideration.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12, (/Pj—
California and Utah have taken
the lead among the western states
in the warning of the public
against inadvised land schemes
based in enhancement of values
expected from the construction of
the Colorado, river dam.
The California real estate de
partment operating under the blue
sky law already has forbidden the
attempted sale within the state of
more than 20,000 acres advertised
as likely to advance in value be
cause of the river project.

WASHINGTON, April 13. (A3)—A
“physician” frh, accoutered with
razoredged lances which are used
to wound, however, instead of heal,
i has been listed with the Simthson
:ian institution’s vast Philippine
Collection.
It is known as the surgeon fish.
On each side of its tail are sharp
pieces of cartilage, so keen that
they are veritable knives. A slight;
slap from the tail is sufficient to
cut a man’s hand to the bone, j
;Many of the lances are poisoned.
The surgeon fish is confined to !
the tropical portions of the Indian
and Pacific oceans.
Tomorrow’s big special at the
Union Cafe will be ROAST CHICK- j
EN, or FRICASEE, with salad, at
$1.00 per plate.
