THE KATALLA ROAD
The party of Forestry officiate which left this morning to make a rec
onnaisance of the proposed Mile 39-Katalla Road carries with it the hopes
of the people of this section and Katalla that a favorable report on the proj
ect will be made. It is rarely that the people of one of these Alaskan com
munities unanimously agree on any needed Improvement or proposed gov
ernmental activity. It may be safely asserted, however, tnat in this in
stance there is no discordant note to be found in the swelling demand which
\
lias been arising here for the past few years for the construction of this
road. The local Chamber of Commerce has been assiduous in its efforts to
Interest the Forest Service and the Bureau of Public Roads in the matter.
Under the present division of authority between the two road building agen
cies in the Territory. If the Forest Service does not take over the project it
cannot be constructed. The Chamber has consistently taken the stand that
in neither of the two national forests in Alaska can a road project be found
which contains so much merit, nor, which will do so much to develop a po
tentially rich country. The construction of the road would see more actual
tonnage being transported over It than any other road In the entire Ter
ritory outside of the icorporated towns. It would tap the coal and oil of
KatalU. help lu the development of the rich clam beds in that vicinity, and
assist the salmon industry now located at Chilkat. It would give the peo
ple of Katalla ready and open communication, depending on water trans
portation and small launcnes. is shut off for weeks at a time during the
stormy seasons of the year which are likely to last from six to eight months.
The people of Cordova look forward with confidence to the reconnaisance
now being made by Assistant Forester Merrltt and his associates, secure in
the conviction that any method of comparison used by the officials will de
termine that the Katalla Road offers more possibilities of usefulness and
economical utility than any similar project in the entire coastal district of
Alaska.—Cordova Daily Times.
THE VETO OK THE BOM'S BILL
President Harding'# veto of the bonus bill is a logical conclusion from
the premises on which he has so consistently stood In dealing with this ques
tion siuce It was first mooted. His champions aid to the utmost for those
who "left the armies Injured, disabled or diseased, so that they could not re
sume their places In the normal activities of life"—and that this champion
ship is not of words, but of deeds Is evidenced by the impressive total of
expenditures under his administration for maintenance, benefit and
improvement of such. He is conscious of the debt of gratitude that the na
tion owes Its ex-service men. But he is also conscious of obligations of ste
wardship that are on him as the nation's chief magistrate to guard its cof
fers against unnecessary expenditure, to safeguard its future from unneces
sary bur'1 >ns, to subordinate political to national considerations In dealing
with p. Jkoocd liglslation that would confer questionable benefit on a few
inillior at rhe expense of all the people, to render Justice to the many rath
er than favor .o the comparative few—and therefore he has vetoed the bill.
TLe Pi indent's veto message is a statesmanlike document that will
carry conviction to every fair-minded citizen that its author wrote it as he
beard the nation's welfare dictate and that the bill to which it refused as
»eut is unworthy of enactment. With clear-cut logic the President exposes
the injustice that would be worked ou the American people by such leg.s
lation and demolishes this proposal to douate approximately $5,000,000,
toO of the people's money.
The bill would donate, but not finance. The majorities that put it
through the two houses would enact the role of bonus donors, but the task
of supplying the wherewithal they would leave to ethers and to other days.
The whole thing smacks so plainly of an effort to curry favor with ex-serv
ice men. regardless of consequences to the nation, that It is votoed by the
logic of ciliienshlp as convincingly as by the President's message.
The veto will create no surprise in those who have followed the Presi
dent throughout his dealing with this subject. What he said yesterday
merely applied what he said when he first expressed himself with respect I
to such legislation earlier In the year to a new state of facts. Certainly the I
veto message should not create any surprise In Congress. For the Presi
dent made It plain to that body at the outset that he would not approve
any bonus legislation without provision for Its financing and that he would
not agree to Imposition of unfair burden on the American people in carry
ing it out.—Washington Post.
INTRODUCES NEW APPLE
TREE IX YAKIMA VALLEY
Yaima, Wash.—An apple, new to
this couutr), baa been brought to
Yalchtia (rovn Paris, France, by H.
M. Gilbert on bis recent return from
Europe. 1' i-» kuown aa the Colville.
On hif laaf /lalt to France Mr. Gil
bert waa able to secure two trees In
Paris.
He carried them with him the re
mainder of his trip through Europe,
the roots being wrapped in moiat
moss. On arriving here he had the
trees se out on his ranch. The
ilttie trees are still sappy aaij have
Home green leaves, thus showing that
they are alive.
According to Mr. Gilbert the Col
Tille apple is a yellow apple of the
color of the Grimes, but averaging
one-half larger, has a spicy flavor
and is a long keeper. It Keeps In
common storage until May, and. Mr.
Gilbert says, was selling at thirty
cents a piece In Paris.
Mr. Gilbert also saw the Colvillo
apple seven years ago In Berlin,
where it arrived packed in excel3lor
In 200-pound boxes, one box alone
retailing for $40. It Is grown in the
Alps on trees that are trained to
trellises, each tree being permitted
to produce just a certain number of
frulta.

Adequate steamer service on the
Yukon river Is a crying necessity of |
the Interior, declared George Ander
son, piano dealer of Juneau, upou
his recent return from a three
months' business trip to interior Al
aska and Yukon points, according to
the Juneau Empire.
"The Uovernme.it Railroad does I
some good, of course," said Mr. An-1
dersou, "but It will never be of last
ing benefit to the settlements along
the Yukon and navigable tributary
streams until a connecting steamer
service is established. With the with
drawal of the White Pass boats from
the regular Dawson-Tanana run the
people living along that vast stretch
of river have absoluteely no depen
dible means of transportation and
as a result there Is little Incentive
to development of the country's un
doubted resources.
"The White I'ass route operates a
mail launch from Dawson to Tauuna
every two weeks, but it has no pro
per accommodations (or passengers
or freight. When I left Dawson the
little craft had on board 35 passen
gers, crowding every available inch
of space but fortunately most of
them got off at Eagle, 100 miles
down the river. The company runs
a freight boat down the river occa
sionally with ore from Mayo, but I
believe this steamer is off the run
now. Rowboats and launches form
the principal means of travel on the
river."
.Mr. Anderson sayg that efforts are
being made to induce the govern
ment to operate the U. S. Army
Transport General Jacobs, now on
the Tanana river, in conjunction
with the railroad, to give regular
steamer service to Yukon river
points. He believes that in that event
the government should give through
rates, so that shippers would know
beforehand the actual freight charg
es to any interior point, whether on
the railroad or river. At present, ow
ing to the withdrawal of the White
Pass steamers, the freight rates to
some river points are actually high
er than before t! e advent of the rail
read. he says.
"The lack of ste:-.mer service is
k lllng the' tourist business, too."
slid Mr. Anderson. "When I was at
T awson therff were 95 tourists who
would have taken the trip down the
Yukon had steamer accommodations
been available. Instead, they had to
return to the coast, via Whltehorse.
over the same route they had come
into the Interior."
LARGE FAMILY GOES
VISITING IX RELAYS
Capt. A. R. Hunt, of Gig Harbor.
Wash., brother of Senator Forest
J. Hunt, accompanied by his wife
and live youngest children, is a vis
itor in Juneau, according to the Em
pire. The Hunt family, it appears,
is of a size commenurate with a
certain happy one in Cordova, though
the whole family is not with the
Captain and his wife in this trip.
Leaving the remaining seven of
their boys and girls at home to
scout for themselves. Captain and
Mrs. Hunt are enjoying a rare holi
day outing of the round trip to Skag
way in company with only their
five youngest children, two of whom
are twins. I
Mrs. Hunt is a sister of Ansel |
Haines, manager of the. Admiral |
Steamship line, who, after a close
race covering a period of years, has i
finally gained on her by two points)
—exclamation points—having twice
been presented with twins.
Mr. Haines' daughter, Elizabeth,
tells in high glee the story of how,
while out walking one evening, she
saw her father approaching with
their commodious car filled with the
remaining eleven members of the
family and overheard a woman say,
"That is what I call a nice man.
See, he is taking all the neighbor's
children out for a drive."
Another story told on Mr. Haines
is that as he was leaving his home
at dusk one evening, he stumbled
over two youngsters on the steps.
Unheeding their vigorous protests as
becomes a parent of ten—he selz- ;
ed one In each hand and proceeding i
to th nursury ordred the maid to put ;
them to bed. !
Returning from a long drive with
his wife, the Captain spent a couple
of hours reading In his study and on j
his way to bed looked In on the kid- i
dies in the nursery to be greeted by
a prolonged wall, "Us is Mr. Tre- j
tether's kids." >1
Navy of Future
Must Be in Air
VISCOUNT CUR80N BELIEVES A|
NATION WITHOUT AIKSHII'S
WILL SUFFER
London, Oct. 9.—"The navy of
the future must take to the air;
otherwise it will be at a hopeless dis
advantage," said Captain Viscount
Curzon in the house of commons
when the naval estimate came up for
discussion. He pointed out that ac
cording to the latest figures the na
vy had only nine fighting airplanes
in contrast with the 86 possessed by
the United States navy.
To offset the allegation of Cap
tain Curzon, the air ministry has is
sued a statement declaring the Brit
ish navy to be better equipped with
airplanes than that of any other na
tion and claiming no fewer than 98
fighting machines In commission,
with a large number of reserves.
George Lambert, a former civil
lord of the admirality, expressed the
opinion that the British navy was
very Inadequately equipped with air
craft. "Can the navy say that from
the defensive point of view the mon
ey of the taxpayer is being spent to
the best advantage?" he asked,
"you are going to spend £16,000,
000 on two new battleships, but it
is useless to spend money on capi
tal ships unless you have sufficient
aircraft for the ships you already
possess."
Lieutenant-Commander Kenworthy
emphasized the great need of the
strengthening of the air fleet. "We
are exposed to two great dangers
from the air," he said, "massed at
tacks by fleets of airplanes flying
by night and scattering poison and
disease germs on our cities, and hav
ing our food supplies cut off by at
tacks on the trade routes. The two
capital ships would be of little use
in warding off such raiders."
Mr. Amery, financial secretary of
the admirality, answered some ques
tions about recent experimental at
tacks by airplanes on warships in
the channel. According to publish
ed sensational reports, he said, the j
attacks were completely successful,1
and If made in real warfare would
have completely wiped out a consid
erable portion of the British navy.
The manoeuvers were not of a i
"wholly novel character," hut part
of a series of valuable and construc
tive exercises which have been car
ried out for some time. It Is not true
that the aiplanes threw out smoke
screens. The torpedo-carrying air
planes were sighted 15 minutes be
fore firing their torpedoes. They
were under dummy gunfire.
"There is a great difference be-1
tween the effect of dmnniy gun-flre I
and real gun-fire on the morale and
the steadiness of a flyer when at low
altitude at the moment of d.scharg
ing the torpedoes," the speaker con
tinued. "They were attacked by gun
fire in dummy from light cruisers
and destroyers. The attack developed
under favorable conditions. We
could not use real counter measures.
The attack thus developed its ful of
fensive effect, and a number of hits
were recorded under the most fav
orable conditions. I do not know the
exact number of hits, but I am in
formed that from the admirality staff
point of view it was not considered
to be at all large, or in any way be
yond what was axpected."
