The 1Terrttory would have a right to expect ‘the Bureau of Fisheries to | continue scientific investigations. | It' does that now throughout the states, where it has no voice in de- termination of policy. ‘Testimony in opposition to the bill was offered by Ward T. Bow- er, chief of the Alaska division of J! the bureau. Until recently the Delegate has been able to supply quite a few persons ‘with Coast and Geodetic Survey charts of Alaska, a limited number being made available for distribution by members of Con- gress. Unfortunately requests have been so numerous recently that the supply is now entirely exhausted. | # In the Alaska parade at the capi- tal: Mr. and Mrs. Harcld Sogn, down from New York/ for the Easter holidays.

Fozard, formerly sup-| erintendent for the Kennecott Cop- | per Corporation at Kennecott and | at Latouche, called recently on Delegate Dimond. Teeth for an existing law are) proposed in a bill which Delegate| Dimond offered’ this week. There is now a statute intended to pro- hibit vessels under alien registry from fishing in American waters but no penalty is attached. Fines and possible forfeiture of their! ships will face violators of the law| under the terms of the Dimond bill. It has the approval of the Department of Commerce. This| matter was particularly urged upon the Delegate’s attention by Dan| Alstan of Petersburg. The committee on claims has ordered a favorable report on the bill waiving the employees’ com- pensation act in favor of Erik Ny- lin. While a superintendent for the Bureau of Education in 1927, Mr.| Nylin fell and injured his back. Believing he would soon recover, he filed mno compensation claim | and presently the statutory period allowed for such filing expired. Unhappily, his condition grew con- stantly worse and for several years, past he has been a helpless in-' FULLER PAINTS 71«1/ Cast valid. The private calendar, upon which this gg] must be placed, is already so long that it is doubtful if the Nylan measure can be reach- ed. However, the Delegate plans to do all he can to secure its passage, as he looks upon the case as an exceptionally meritorious one. Once approved, the bill would allow the employees’ compensation commis- sion to consider the claim upon its merits. Sea lions which infest Alaska waters and destroy great quanti- ties of food fish ought to take warning from recent developments and migrate to happier hunting grounds. The long arm of the law, which has been a protecting -cloak around them, may be abruptly removed. A favorable committee report has been secured for Delegate Dimond’s bill to remove sea lions from the protected list. Such legislation has the approval of the Bureau of Fisheries. It is agreed that sea lions take an enormous toll of fish, iand the purposes of conservation will be well served by their thin- ning out. The Province of British Columbia has long treated them as a common pest. ‘When President Roosevelt’s pen traced his signature on the 'act | permitting commercial fishing in d Kwsbykwim ought to be opemr :: to 'limited commiercial* fishing so that white settlers and natives could derive a livelihood from pack- ing for export the king salmon which are acknowledged to be in food fish. vancing the date of the general election and of the convening of real steps in the direction of home rule since enactment of the organic act for the Territory. There is a significant section in eagh of these bills which to many will mean far more than either repeal or any change in election | dates. The repeal bill says: “An act to create a legislative assem- bly in the Territory of Alaska, to confer legislative power and for other purposes . . . clude any legislation pertaining to the manufacture or sale of spirit- uous or intoxicating liquor within the said Territory.” Similarly, the| election law says: “. . . the legis- lature of the Territory of Alaska| shall have the power from time to time as the need therefor may arise, to change the date of gen- eral elections in the said Territory |the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers, | " ° it brought to four the number of Alaska bills he has approved during the present session of Congress. The others signed by him were the repeal bill, the bill changing the election date and the bill trans- ferring property at Sitka to the Territorial government. In securing passage of the Yu- kon-Kuskokwim bill, Delegate Di- mond transformed a plank in a; party platform into actuality.

It is a viewpoint which Delegate Di- mond has urged upon Representa- tives and Senators ever since he ‘cune to Washington and whi#h he | intends to continue to present at every opportunity until the goal of complete home rule has been reached.

Faulkner residence on Seventh street last evening. Mrs. Stapleton will leave Juneau next week to make her home in Seattle. Amusing games were played and a very jolly evening was enjoyed by twenty members of the choir, which was concluded with a deli- cious supper. Members of the choir expressed their appreciation for the splendid work that Mrs. Stapleton has done with the chqir and the serious effort she has given to building up and training the group. During the evening Mrs. Staple- ton was given a large photograph ¢f Juneau taken by Winter and Pond showing the waterfront of the city at night with steamers lying alongside the docks. Wilfred Leivers presented the picture with a clever talk to which Mrs. Staple- ton responded, by saying how greatly she had enjoyed her work and expressing ‘her regret at leav- ing. nnm tmmre Want Ads Pay Exalted Ruler and “ofticers | 7 HOLLLYWOOD SHOE PARLOR Shoes Made Like New While U Wait FineLiquors!
