Tekes in his rloe of “master of Alaska,” the Juneau Chamber of ' Commerce today at their noon meet- | ing ocalled the Secretary of the In- terior a man who is “placing every | possible obstacle in the path of any {person to prevent him from gaining lmlo to any portion of the public do- |main in Alaska.” The diatribe against Secretary Ickes, which further accused him of | i | \ | 1 | | lL'nmurag\mz settlement “in the Ter: {tory, was brought out in a letfer | fromy the Juneau Chamber to Unitesd States Senator from North Carolina | Robert R. Reynolds, asking the sen- ator to help the Territory in its ef- |fort to prevent Admiralty Island |from being made a national monu- ment. No Reason For Act It was pointed out in the letter, written for the executive board of the ' Chamber by Juneau attorney Norman Banfield that in spite of the fact that Admiralty Island has no historical or scientific value, ne: sary as specified by law for the e tablishment of a national monumer apparently nothing can be donc to prevent the action to withdraw it | from the Territory. | Benfield explained that the only | step remaining for the act to be ei- | fected is for President Roosevelt to sign the bill, and that because the President is so busy with defense measures it has been impossible for Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond to see him for explanation of the i“harm that can be done by such an act.” Dimond Throws In Towel Latest information from Dimond, it was revealed, was that the Alaskan Delegate said the matter was cut and dried, with no method available to stop the signing of the biil. Di- mond said that further efforts on his part would be useless, As a rasult the Juneau' Chamber wrote the let- | ter to Senator Reynolds, called| one of Alaska's best friends” and sent a copy. to Delegate Dimond in! an effort to still prevent the acuon,} In discussion of results of the pas- | sage of a regulation making a na- tional monument out of Admiralty, members showed where further pop- ulation of the island would be pre- vented and that any possibility of obtaining & pulp or paper mill for Juneau or vicinity would be elimi- nated with- the elimination -of the island from public domain. The ‘viwriglic letter will ‘be mailed to Senator Reynolds and to Delégate | Dimond today. 3 Halibufers | Sell, Seattle: SEATTLE, April 17.—Halibuters selling here today are as follows: From the western banks — -Grant | 39,000 pounds, 10 and 9% cents a| pound.
