I am glad to see this subject given attention and feel con- strained to do what I can to stress the importance of some public_movement to remedy the existing situation of this port. *During the early dike rush, Skagway olis of Southeast poor old Skagway nant of the past With no mines sources in that States t tory, the harbor, Canadian vears of the Klon- ame the metrop- Alas. but today, is nothing but a rem- commercial re- vieinity, on United it stands “neglected and alon by this vernment; it is the port of entry to all Canadian inter- sts throughout the vast region of min- ed territory tributary to the head- s of the Yukon and the Atlin g This is a port of value to and if owned by her, no doubt, and increased value would come to all Skagway, as well increased interest ~in all Canadian enterprises throughout that section. The suggestion of Sir Hugh Deni- son will, perhaps, find lodgment and support among interested hadians but, 1 think, if we would arouse mutual in- terest there must be some direct bene- fit to this country 1 would call attention to the topo- graphy of the country lying between the head of Lynn Canal and the southern boundary of Interior Alaska. South- easterly from the 141st parallel of longi- tude, Wwest, lies what is known as the panhandle of Alaska, which consists of a moumtainous rim of rocks and gla- ciers, without habitation, except in yakutat harbor, for the entire southerly distance to Glacier Bay. I have not explored the territory east of this bounadry, but have been re- liably informed that there is quite a considerable tract of comparatively level country, much of it mineralized, and it is my judgment that if boundary line coudd be extended back to the interior to a line extending in a northeasterly direction from just above the port of Haines, on Lynn Canal, to intersect the southerly boundary of in- terior Alaska, it gvould give new life to Haines and would inaugurate a move to comstruct a highway along or near this boundary to interior Alaska and this stimulate research and develop- ment of a section now not receiving any attention. Instead of imternationalizing Skagway harbor, 1 think an exchange feasible, and mutually advantageous, by a cession of Skagway harbor with the needed tract extending to the boundary, from the United States to Canada, for a tract from Canada to the United States, em- bracing the territory between a line ex- tending northeasterly from above Haines, to the southeasterly. boundary of in- terior. Alaska. 1 sam fully convinced that such an exehange would benefit both parties concerned, and stimulate commercial activity in sections now neglected. or new life as ¢ FOREST J. HUNT.

Herrin, has and Chicagc as House of Governors. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Ritchie’s proposal for Governor the creation .{of a House of Governors, constituting a practical league of States, which,~functioning as the third House of the Republic, would uphold States’ rights, fighting continuously and consistently tc confuse and defeat the steady trends toward excessive centralization in government, might have advantfiges. Such a body, as Governor Ritchie says, prob- ably could receive no legal recognition. But there are numerous great, vital existing organi- zations functioning in the interests of the public welfare which receive no legal recognition as political entities. A House of agree or differ day these pro Governers could consult, debate, s the Governor suggests. In this iedings would hecome common property on the instant. No such organization, constantly and alertly asserting and upholding the rights of the States, could fail to become a power in the political life of the Nation. It is conceivable that Congress and the Legislatures of the States soon might come to listen very attentively to proposals and recommendations a thoroughly established House Governors. Composed of, presumably, able men, repre- sentative Americans, united in nonpartisan pur- pose to maintain the Republic as transmitted to us by its founders and framers, the influence of such an organization should be great indeed And something of the kind is needed. Con- lone, no more is to be trusted to check centralization of power in govérnment and in- vasion of the rights and liberties of individuals and the States. Congress has become the tool of minorities, bends before the pressure of {nnum- erable coercions which result in the constant multiplying of boards, bureaus, departments, com- missions, committe agents and representatives of b aucratic power, till they are covering the land even as the plague of locusts covered Mizraim in an elder day. A House of Governors could create healthy gentiment, it could keep the public on the qui vive as to the insidious usurpations of disintegrat- ing minorities. Alaska Game Merits Attention. (Seattle Times.) Interest of Federal officials In the new war- fare against predatory animals in Alaska ought to be followed by consideration of some of the other wild game problems of the Northland. Decision of the United States Biological Survey (o co-operate with the Territorial Gov- ernor in efforts to eliminate wolves and coyotes is commendable, but action should be taken toward reforming virtually the entire control sys- tem now in operation. At present there are guarded by Federal law, creatures are left without the pale of Congress ional protection. Meanwhile the greatest annoy- ance results from eonflicting eclaims of juris dietion by various bureaus and departments. Alaska abounds with rare and desirable species of animals, and there is no reason why their conservation should not be either entrusted to a single Federal department or confided exclus- ively In the Territory. The campaign against coyotes and wolves should lead to other worthy and better organized actiyities. destructive animals Think what the news value of the statement would have been it “Pussyfoot” Johnson would have d that the entire world soon would “wet” instead of ‘“dry.”—(Boston Transcript.) boundary| Tanana| | the planning a| ALONG LIFE’S DETOUR By SAM HILL It's All Wrong There one thing ‘bout life That makes us groan and cuss And that's that things we like | Are always bad for us!
