Deportation of
Alien Slackers

A bill recently introduced in the
House of Representatives by Judge
•lohn E. Raker of California, which
1 if passed, will cause the deportation
! of "certain aliens who withdrew their
S declaration of intention to become
i i itizens of the United States in orler
| to escape the military service."
At the time such persons with
I drew their declarations, orders were
] entered in the naturalization courts
! at the instigation of the department
of labor forever debarring those
iir r ■ vithdrawals from becom
ing < ., : e::s of the U. S. Tho exact
number of persons in the Territory
! who would come under the provis

I known. Thirteen cancellations were
' entered in the local V. S. District
Court, others were made at Ketchi

divisions.

lows in full:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
I I*ultcd States of America in Con
gress assembled. That any alien who

Haines Notes
Haines. May 31.—Another large
Tractor was landed here Sunday
morning by the I'rincess. The trac
tor belongs to the Maid of Erin Mln
j ins Company, and makes two of
j those large tractors here now. and
' the only handicap to the making a
I very profitable summer's out-put of
I copper ore, is tho lack of roads, and
! it is a pity, that the powers that be,
do rot put on enogh men to finish the
! road. I hear that there is a lack of
j :tioti"y. If that be true, and I guess
I it is. then the government should

J Test Shipment
Order is Made
By Local Firm
The Juneau Commercial Associ
ation today took the first active
step toward testing the constitu
tionality of section 27 of tfcs Mer
chant Marine Act of June 5. 1930,
when one of its members ordered a
shipment by telegraph to be routed
via Vancouver and Canadian Pa
cific steamer to Juneau. The ship
inent is to be made at once.
The order was made by flip Ju
neau Hardware company from Evart,
Mich. The routing given is via Pera
Marquette Railway to Chicago and
the Soo Lines and Canadian Pacif
ic Railway to Vancouver and to
Juneau by Canadian Pacific stermer.
Positive instructions were given
that the routing must not !e
changed under any circumstances.
The Juneau Commercial Associ
ation has been arranging details for
making the shipment since its last
meeting on May 19. A slight delay
was encountered in arranging for
| the routing but it is believed now
that every contingency has been
provided for.
! The legal end of the fight will be
looked aflor by the Territorial At
torney General under authority
given by a joint resolution passed
by the late legislature which in
structed him to "take all proper
measures to test and determine the
validity of 'the questionable section
of the so-called Jones' bill" to the
end that the discrimination against
Alaska by the enforcement of the
aforesaid provision may be discon
tinued."—Ex.
To Spend $110-,
000 in Roadwork
Up to the present time there has
been aloted for road work in the
First Division, exclusive of non-co
operative work done by the Bureau
of Public Roads, a total of approxi
mately $110,000 from all sources,ac
cording to a statement made today

Three organizations are represent
ed in this work, a portion of which

program agreed upon between the
Bureau of Public Roads and the
Territorial Commission. On this
project the Bureau of Public Roads
has allotted $17,306 to match the
Territory's allotment of $7,500. The
Alaska Road Commission, according
to Captain Word has tentatively set
aside $10,000 for work on the Ju
neau road.
( (i-oiH'i alivo Program.

Commission for every Division. In

RAVAGED BY LOCUSTS
Province in Argentina Swept by
Plague of Insects.
Disappear as Suddenly as They Come,
Leaving Desert of Country
They Pass Through.
Buenos Aires.—A plague of locusts,
like Unit which In ancient Egypt "cov
ered the fuce of the earth," tills year
descended upon the province of Santa
Fe. Similar offensives are almost an
nual events In one part or other of Ar
gentina.
The locusts come suddenly and with
out warning. Where for a year or sev
eral years perhaps not one of the In
sects has been seen, a Veritable cloud
of them will one day appear and settle
on the ground. These usually come
from the northwest, from the vast al
most uninhabited truets In Bolivia, It
Is supposed. They cover the eurth like
a moving carpet, gradually moving on.
At first little damage Is done, aside
from the inconvenience of having lit
erally millions of the insects covering
everything and even penetrating the
nouses. Hut as they progress through
the country they bore holes Into the
earth, preferably in hard spots such as
roadways. Into which they deposit
their eggs. Within a short time the
larva are hatched and come forth. At
llrst these cannot fly, and it is at this
stage that they devour every living
plant within their path, with the ex
ception of a few species such as* wil
low trees.
A little later the Insects develop
their wings and, leaving the country
through which they have passed a
desert, they disappear almost as sud
denly as they came. Where they go
to has never been discovered.
Argentina has had recourse to many
methods of lighting the locusts. The
nation maintains organized locust
lighting squads, something like those
(Wined to light tires, and these are sent
every year to the sections invaded. In
addition, every rancher is held respon
sible for fighting the pest In his own
locality.
One of Ihe methods employed is to
dig trenches in which the insects are
collected, afterward being burned. But
no matter how many millions of tlieui
are made away with in any such man
ner, It is Impossible to block the pest,
owing to the great extent of Argentina,
much of which is still very sparsely
settled.
DOG WEARS AUTO SPECS
Kveu ilii' l..iw-\vo\vs lire I "'lug fitted

ing to u report from Boston, which
states that goggles for dogs have been
placed 011 sale there. A prominent
Boston woman who is in the hubit of
taking tier dog on motoring trips start
ed the fad. The dog was suffering
from eye sirrin as the result of riding
out on windy days. -

Itufus, the dog hero of the desert,
who has saved many lives. Is ending
his declining days in a dog sanatorium
at I'usadena, Oil., where he is well
cared for. The end of the dog is
not far off, says Our Dumb Animals
In a recent issue. He Is spent and
feel.le after his many long and weary
Journeys over the burning and blind
ing sands with his pioneer master.
He will no doubt soon fall asleep.
I.ou Westcolt Beck and Rufus were
Intrepid pioneers In a life-saving proj
ect that received scanty support and
tardy recognition. Together they fared
forth on llielr mission of mercy, Beck
carrying signboards and cans of paint,
Rufus laden with saddlebags of re
storati\es and poison antidote. While
the man set up the guideposts, or
painted the water signs, the dog suc
cored many a prospector wiio other
wise would have died miserably from
delirium of thirst or the venom of
sr.aKe bites.
The work of these two great bene
factors Is over. Beck died In July,
1017. and ^Ince then the government
has appropriated one hundred thou
sand dollars to carry on the project
thai lie and his devoted dog started.
Rufus will be well provided for by
a veterinarian who was a personal
friend of Beck's. The old dog's years
of hardships, of life-saving service 06
the desolate wastes, are not without
their reward. His many friends who
used to see him on the streets and
pat lilin with approval as he started
out on his desert trips will not forge'
him In his old age.
