HOME SITE CHARGES UPPED Home sites charges are to be increased, effective January 1, 1950, according to a notice issued by B. Frank Heintzleman, Regional Forester. ‘The notice says: “The yearly charge for the use of sites for resi-| dences on the National Forests of Alaska has not been changed throughout a long period of years. The amount ($5.00) is the minimum permitted. “The cost of the improvements and extension of the National Forest road systems which serve most‘ of these sites, increasing administrative costs of other kinds and the attractive locations which have been | made available for residences and cabins indicate an | increase in the rental fee is in order. ! “In view of the above, the yearly rate on residence | | President of the Canadian National Railway comes | time that one so young has headed Canada’s great | interest. for similar uses on the National Forests in the Stntes' are very high higher.” That is sound logic and it is doubtful if anyone in this section will make any objection to the raise, in view of the benefits. Pay the $10 and it is cheap at that. NEW CNR CHIEF ; The Canadian National Railway has a new chlet! and the Prince Rupert Daily News has the following to say: Appointment of Donald Gordan as Chairman and as a surprise—"a bolt from the blue” in the words of one local official on being advised of the choice. Forty-seven years of age, Mr. Gordon, in the first place, will bring youth to the position. It is the first railway system. Mr. Gordon, as may also be anticipated, will bring sound and strong business administration to the railway. He is already noted for his acumen as a financier. Whether or not soundness will be allowed to cramp the railway as an instrument of national de- velopment remains to be seen. There were some who had anticipated that the mantle of Mr. Vaughan might have fallen to one of two Vice-Presidents, either N. B. Walton or M. A. Métcalf. Quite possibly the matter of age had a bearing on the choice. In any case, it will not now bé necessary to make a change in a few years. Friends of Mr. Vaughan will wish him health and happiness in his years of retirement. He was well known in Prince Rupert through regular visits here and, no doubt, had the interests of this port and line at heart and watched its progress with sympathetic l } “Congress should find out what the people want and give it to them,” asserts an editor. That would be impossible. The people can’t afford what they want. «There is no war in the forseeable future,” in- tones a radio cosmic commentator. And there isn't —for the reason that there’s no such thing as the forseeable future. and cabin sites will be $10.00, effective January 1, 1950. This new fee is in line with rates charged for‘ other types of National Forest use in Alaska.

Conditions were good in several Southeast Alaska schools L. W. Breuer had visited, the Commissioner of Education reported on his return to Juneau. His official visits had been to schools at Wrangell, Ketchikan, Wards Cove and Charcoal Point. Returning from a week in Ketchikan, looking after timber sales and | waterpower work in that district, Assistant District Forester B. Frank | Heintzleman said that two mills there apparently had had a pr. - perous year. The Ketchikan Spruce Mills would close the end of the ‘mumh and the Ketchikan Lumber and Shingle Mills about November 15. A jitney dance was held in Liberty Hall at Douglas. With Mayor T. B. Judson and others aboard, the gasboat Daring 'had gone to Sitka and Warm Springs Bay for several days. Others aboard were Art Carter, Frank Dott, W. Powell and Capt. Abe Hanson. J. H. Brokaw, Seattle broker, was a guest at the Gastineau on one of his regular visits to the Territory. Gudmund Jensen, Juneau prospectors, returned on the Pheasant from ore. ‘:everal of his claims near Petersburg, with samples of high-grade gold Mrs. James Hawthorn arrived from Seattle to join her husband at because the | ee Harbor, where he operated the floating cannery Resolute, mild- curing and canning. The Hawthorns had spent the summer in Douglas. Mrs. H. J. Raymond, owner of the store and other interests at Warm | springs Bay, was in Juneau for a few days on business. Severin Swanson, captain of the Margnita, and Mrs. Swanson returned to Juneau on the steamer Yukon from Seattle, where they |had been for two weeks visiting relatives.

So, I've decided to| bring Washmgton to my consti-| tuents.” On chilly days the former para-| trooper, who spent many cold hours on the European battlefront in the last war, dispenses coffee instead of soft drinks. He also hands out free pamphlets on baby training and farming while “holding office” on the Main streets of his district. G. I’'s FRIEND A political fledgling is about to try his wings in New Hampshire. He is Wes Powell, Senator Bridges’ right-hand man, who will soon make a bid for a political career of his own. Powell is looking over the lay of the land in New Hampshire before making any announcements, but he is certain to throw his hat in the political ring. It's just a question of which office he will shoot for. An ex-G. 1., Powell has a reputa- tion for knocking the brass hats together. It was Powell who came to the aid of Pvt. Pierre Lefevre who was kept in the brig for nine months after his discharge—be- cause some lieutenant wanted him to re-enlist. During the war, Powell left Sen- ator Bridges’ office and turned down a commission to sign up as a buck private. He became a gunner on a B-2¢ bomber, was seriously wounded over Munch in 1944, Since his return to Capitol Hill, Powell has been one of the most influential and efficient adminis- trative assistants in the Senate. SOAKING NORTH AMERICANS The greedy attempts by Peru’s military dictatorship to bolster that country’s badly sagging econ- omy by soaking-the-foreigner is proving a boomerang. Last month, the harassed army regime in Lima, casting about for some source of new revenue, came up with a scheme that looked very slick on paper. Foreigners—mean- ing primarily U. S. citizens in Peru —were paying income taxes at the official rate of exchange: 6:50 soles to the dollar. By alternating that provision and collécting at the frée-market rate of 1950 to 1, the government fig- ured to triple its intake from lo- cally established Americans. This would add up to no mean sum, since about 6,000 Americans: live in Peru, most of them earning good salaries with U. 8. concerns. But the fumbling brasshats who have taken Peru rapidly from bad to worse since they seized power from the legitimate government, overreached themselves. The reac- | — | while | size. of a resistence in the United States, | threats of resignation from its pilots stationed there that company started to transfer iis HQ to Miami, Florida. Several other firms, including An- | aconda Copper Co.'s Peruvian sub-| sidy, are considering similar moves, more than 150 American, citizens have left Peru for good since their taxes were tripled. TROUBLE EXPE(TTED IN BOGOTA The naming of Laureano Gomez as the Colombian Conservative party’s presidential candidate has blacked dut the last falnt ghm- gpap firm can manufacture steelj mer of hope for peaceful elections in that country. Gomez, who was foreign mln- ister at the time of Bogota’s bloody | riots in April 1948, has been charg- ed by many liberals with personal! responsibility for the assassination of liberal leader Jorge Gaitan, Since Gaitan’s martyrdom and his “social justice” program con- most liberals, the nomination of Gomez represents to them an open defi by the opposition. The Con- servative party tacitly recognized this situation when it voted $5,000 to pay bodyguards for its candi- date between now and the Nov. 27 elections. Although the liberals registered elections last June, vatives have announced that they will not accept a liberal victory in the presidential balloting because the date, moved forward six months on that party’s initiative, is “illegal.” Laureano Gomez was one of admirers of Adolf Hitler all during the last war. He has also long been noted for his marked anti- U. 8. views, which constitute the chief foreign policy of his Bogota daily newspaper, “El Siglo.” The liberals' president candidate is scholarly, middle-of-the-road Dario Echandia, whose appeal lies and professional element rather that with the workers, who idolized the late rabble-rousing Jorge Gai- tan.

The question is whether the business men will have the wisdom to curb ‘thexr lust for bigness beéfore opposi- tion to a concentration of the ex- |ercise of control leads to legisla- \uon designed to remedy an un- | popular activity but actually accom- | plishing an increase in the social- ‘lsllc trend in government. | I have often asked the question, | when is big too big? Obviously no {or automobiles or such commodities. There must be bigness in such en- terprises if they are to tunctmn at all. Yet, large firms can be- 1 come extraordinarily inefficient. I recently had an experience with the DuPonts which is a case in point. For many years, we have been using their camphor squares, bearing only their label and trade mark which we accepted as the ia<surance of reliability. ‘these camphor squares performed [excellently. but this summer, they idid some damage. I wrote the Du- Ponts to ask why and what could be done about it. | Now, the interesting point about this is that the Du Ponts advertise in the press, on the radio, and in |senrch And undoubtedly they are; ; wonderful. But in the instance of these camphor blocks, G. T. Barnhill, Jr., sales manager, Alsohol and Cam- phor, wrote me: ;o .
