3 H QUINLAN TELLS LOCAL CHAMBER OF HOOVER AIM Says President Determined| to Bring About Sane Development Here President Hoover is determined to bring about sane substantial development of Alaska's resources, declared Col. D. P. Quinlan, per- sonal representative of the Presi- dent and special assistant to the Chief Co-Ordinator of the United States, in a short talk to the Cham- ber of Commerce, today. Col. Quinlan is a member of the Adjutant General's corps of the Army, executive of the Federal Real Estate Board and member of the Public Buildings Commission in addition to his duties as Federal Co-Ordinator. He started to Alas- ka some 30 odd years ago, got side- tracked in the Department of Jus- tice for three and cne-half years, switched into the Army at the time | of the Spanish-American War and has been there ever since. Has Special Interest “I have a deep interest and the! President has a special interest in| Alaska,” declared Col. Quinlan. Two | years ago, he said, he was actively | precipitated into the Alaska situa- | tion by Mr. Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce, who requested certain information and Col. Quinlan was asked to dig it up. Since that {:me he has been accumulating data regarding the Territory. At this | time, he said, he has half a dozen matters relating to Alaska under investigation. Last May, Col. Quinlan had a conference with the President and the latter at that time, “in language more forceful than elegant,” ex- pressed his determination to straighten out the Alaska situation. The President is determined, said the speaker, that the government in Alaska is going to be so regulated that it will afford opportunity for stabilized development, protect all property rights, eliminate duplica-| tion and waste and end any con- flict between Territorial and Fed- cral activities. “As far as he is concerned he is about fed up on conflict,” declared Col. Quinlan. The latter gave it as his conviction that Alaska would be the scene of great development under Mr. Hoover. There are many projects being considered in the Territory, he said, and on the same boat on which he arrived here yes- terday, wiere were two or three men representing large interests who are The Grocery Store of Service and Satisfaction Whatever may be your gro- cery wants, we are prepared to fulfill them.

Praises Local Agents Col. Quinlan praised the co-or- dination shown by Alaskan Federal agents, mentioning particularly Maj. Malcolm Elliott and the Alas- ka Road Commission, Col. O. F. Ohlson, general manager of The Alaska Railread, and Col. Frank J Griffin, head of the cable system. He said one of the main objects of his visit was to aid Federal agents here in getting better co-ordination so that they could render the best possible service to Alaskans. He functions purely in an advis- | ory capacity. formation for the President to sup- plement that received from regular | sources.

He has his headquarters in that city and said anything he could do to aid the Chamber would be done gladly. “If I haven't got the information you want, I know where I can get it,” he de- clared. At the outset of his talk, Col. 'Quinlan described briefly the work |of the co-ordinators, the system as .it has been developed and the value of the work to the nation. It was originated by Gen. Charles G. Dawes in France during the World War and adapted by him as Di- rector of the Budget to the peace- time needs of the country. One of its primary concepts is that there are no public tunds, and 'that every dollar expended for Gov- ernmenia. av..vities is private mon- ey, coming from the pockets of the taxpayers. Working through hundreds of Business Associations, it dollars by ... elimination of dupli- cation and waste, transfer of sur- plus “utilities” or supplies.

Fourteen canneries from Kake north to Yakutat and west to Sit- ka to the end of last week had packed approximately 90,000 cases of salmon, according to advices re- ceived by the United States Bu- reau of Fisheries here. This is said to be well ahead of the pack for 1927 on the corresponding date but is less than that of a year ago. The indications for this district are therefore, considered to be favorable as the pinks, which form the biggest portion of the pack, are a two-year fish and this season is the next cycle year after 1927. The Ketchikan showing to the end of |the week was poor. Fishing started there on July 5, and packs at the end of the week were too light to be reported. Nine- teen canneries are operating in that area. Thirteen are to begin operations July 15, in the South West Coast district on Prince of Wales Island. The season opened yesterday in the North West Coast area which includes the Wrangell district. The Alaska Pacific Salmon Cor- poration plant at Funter Bay leads in this district with 18153 cases packed up to last Saturday night. The same company'’s plant at Port Althorp was second with 17,525 cases. The Excursion Inlet plant of the Pacific American Fisheries was third high with 12300 cases. Astoria & Puget Sound at the same location had 8,348 cases; the North- western Fisheries at Dundas Bay 7,040; Alaska Pacific at Kake 2,000; Fidalgo Island at Pillar Bay 054: Sebastian and Stuart at Tyee 1,13 P.
