URGES DEFENSE
(New \ork World.)
Since war lias been declared and
. preparedness for military assaults
| upon the territory of the United
: States proper is engaging so much at
\ tention, it may not be improper to call.
| attention to the modest needs of Alas
' ka and the fact that the ports of this
| territory are without defense of any
I kind. A hostile cruiser could land
j marines without opposition at any
| town on the Alaska coast, and burn it
I and destroy commerce between Alaska
■ and the states exceeding $110,000,000
; in 101(5 and which promises to exceed
' that figure each succeeding year for an !
| indefinite time to come.
| Alaskan ports, almost without ex
j ception, could be made impregnable at
| a minimum cost as military anil naval
j expenditures run ordinarily. This is
especially true of Seward and Anchor
age, the two water terminals of the
government’s system of railroads,
Bpints at which an assault at present
would completely paralyze and largely
I destroy the chief industries of Alaska.
Moreover, a small force of invaders
could not only take the two terminals
j without opposition, but could quickly
! entrench themselves so that their sub
j sequent dislodgement could be effected
' only at a heavy cost in men and ma
i terial.
Seward, one of the headquarters of
railroad activities is on Resurrec
tion bay, a deep sheet of water far be
yond gunshot from the open sea and
reached by a narrow, winding channel1
between lofty elevations, veritable
I Gibraltars, one either side. A few
guns commanding the channel would
! make the place impregnable to the
: combined fleets of the world.
■ To get within gunshot of Anchorage
j a warship would first have to pass
J within easy range of Fire island, a
| point lending itself to easy defense al
1 most as readily as the Resurrection
I bay entrance.
With Seward and Anchorage prop
erly defended, the government rail
j ways and the great Matanuska coal
: fields would be safe. A direct attack
on these great properties by landing
; in bays on either side of the railroad
[ would be impossible because of inter
j vening impassable glaciers, while a
j flank attack could be made only after
crossing mountain ranges which would
make Hannibal’s descent upon Rome
seem easy by comparison.
JUNEAU, April 12.—The 1916 re
port of the board of trustees of Alas
ka Pioneers’ Home has been printed.
Copies were distributed to members
of the legislature yesterday.
Amongst other things, the report
states that the home has been'in op
; eration for four years that the insti
i tution has been conducted in an effi
cient manner; that there was a bal
ance in all funds January 1, 1917, of
$28,955.37. The board comprises
Governor J. F. A. Strong, chairman;
Allen Shattuck, treasurer and C. C.
Georgeson, secretary.
Superintendent A. G. Shoup re
views the operations of the home and
recommends that it should be option
al with the trustees whether indigent
or disabled applicants would be cared
for in the home or given a monthly
allowance; that salaries of employes
; should be increased and that certain
repairs be made.

MUMMING
IN TERRITORY
UP I
(Special Correspondence.)
Jl'NKAU, April 12.—The Aldrich
bill providing for the building and
maintenance of public roads in the
territory of Alaska occupied tbe chief
attention of the senators in the com
mittee of the whole today. The bill
under consideration provides for a
territorial board of road commission
ers, comprised of the governor, sur
veyor-general and attorney-general,
with one office in each of the four di
visions of the territory. A divisional
road commission in each of the four
territorial divisions, will consist of
three members. Two of these, as pro
vided by the bill, are to be appointed
for two years by the governor and are ]
to serve without pay except that on of -:
ficial trips they are to be remuner
ated for traveling and living expenses.
The third member of the divisional
cornmissicm is to be the territorial road
commissioner elected every two years
by his division, and with a salary not
to exceed $2500 per annum.
Heated discussion of some of the
provisions prescribed in this first
section occupied the senate until
recess was called at noon. Senators
Ronan and Sundback maintained that
efficient men could not be induced to
give their services and time without
remuneration and that even if they
were so public-spirited, they would)
not be as thoroughly informed of
the needs of certain other parts of
the division as they were of their
own vicinity.
Funds Have Been Curse.
Senator Gaustad argued on the
other hand that distribution of funds
had been the ‘curse of road work” in
the territory up to date. He main
tained that although the road com
missioners had probably been the
best possible, that the system of dis-'
tributing the money instead of con
centrating it in one part of the divi
sion until one or more good roads
could be completed, was wrong.
Senator Aldrich maintained that
the board was intended for a check
on the road commissioner and that
the bill was in accordance with the
Alabama law.
In the midst of the discussion a re
cess was declared to welcome Presi
dent Hubbard of the senate, who re
turned on the Admiral Evans from a
ten days’ absence.
patients, most of whom are suffering
with chronic maladies and in but few
cases could curative effects be ex
pected.
Senator Aldrich made a special in
vestigation of the home^i February
and reported that there were 68 in
mates, eight of whom were in the hos
pital ward; one a paralytic who has
been confined to his bed for three
year*. Aldrich made certain recom
mendations as to salaries and im
provements.
Fred Reese, of Teikhell, who was
recently in Valdez with a fine lot of
furs caught this winter near flis
home on the Richardson road, states
that the strength of wolverines is
enormous considering the size of the
animal. He states that he has seen
a wolverine take a quarter of a moose
in its forearms and walk off with it,
up a bank 25 feet high, and carry it
walking erect like a bear with a pig.
He also states that many times in
trapping them he has had them lift
him off the ground, and he is no small
man at that.
Watch out for the ‘big event” May
1st, which the Alaska Labor Union
will pull off. 800*
