HARE BE PLACED
ON ISLANDS OF
S. E. ALASKA
Smeaton Island Now Being
Stocked—Nucleus lor Ex
tension Says Walker.
The first shipment of hare for the
stocking of Southeastern Alaska has
arrived at Ketchikan and the hare
will he placed on Smeaton Island,
near Ketchikan, according to E. P.
Walker, in charge of the Bureau
of Biological Survey In Alaska.
There are one dozen hare in this
first shipment. They are the Wash
ington varying hare and were cap
tured near Puyallup. Further ship
ments for the stocking of other isl
ands will be made at an early date.
These shipments will be a nucleus
for further extension to other parts
of the country, the purpose being to
convert vegetation into meat as a
food for man and furbearers. The
reason lor the selection of the Wash
ington varying hare Ib because It in
habits a climatic region similar to
Southeastern Alaska, Mr. Walker
said.
“It was decided unadviBable to at
tempt to stock this part of the coun
try with the Interior hare as that
variety is apparently not adaptable to
this climate," said Mr. Walker. “The
Interior hare has access to all the
valleys in this region but there is
no instance where it has remained
and propagated."
Mr. Walker said that plans have
been made for a more extensive pro
gram for wolf control In the country
this year. An earlier start than last
year will allow for more to be ac
complished he. said. Funds have al
ready been set aside for this pur
pose.
Mr. and Mrs. Walker returned to
Juneau on the steamer Admiral Ev
ans from the States. They have been
absent since May 10. From Seattle
they went to Mr. Walker’s home at
Sheridan, Indiana to attend the funer
al of his mother, who died while he
was enroute to the States. Later Mr.
Walker went to Washington and Mrs.
Walker visited with relatives at
Crockston, Minn.
Mr. Walter spent several days in
Washington in conference with Dr.
E. W. Nelson, Chief of the Bureau
He also was in short conference with
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace.
Mr. Walker was joined by Mrs.
Walker at Minnesota and they re
turned west by way of Colorado,

SECRETARY WORK
ADMITS REMOVAL
NOT CONVENIENT
Says Realized Temporary In
I convenience Caused by
Closing Land Office.
j -
Admission that the removal of the
{local IT. S. Land Office to Anchor
] age will result in Inconvenience both
| to the public and private interests is
! made In a letter written by Secre
tary Work in answer to a protest
from a prominent Alaskan who had
pointed out a number of handicaps
that would be imposed on Alaskan
development by the transfer. The
Secretary maintained, however, that
eventually the move would be for the
benefit of the Territory as a whole.
Figures given by Mr. Work indi
cate the Department of Interior is
not unaware that the preponderance
of the mineral business in the Juneau
land district In Southeastern Alaska.
In this connection he said o\it of 59
mineral entries irittie during the last
fiscal year, 41 were made at Nome.
115 at Juneau, leaving three others
for all the rest of the Territory.
Inconvenience Temporary
Regarding the effect of the move
on the transaction of both public
land private business and In answer
j to an assertion that both would be
j retarded and be made more expen
sive by the discontinuance of the
■land office here, the Secretary said:
| “In reply to your suggestion of
jseveral undesirable effects of this
I order, that may have been possibly
j overlooked, I will say that It was
, fully appreciated that the change
i would result in satne temporary in
| convenience to both public and prl
! vate interests; but it was believed
that the larger and ultimate Inter
ests of the Territory would be better
served by the location of the land
office at Anchorage."
The request made by Senator Wes
1 ley L. Jones to the President for a
{temporary suspension of the order
was referred by the President to the
I Department of Interior and was turn
| ed down. Senator Jones, who made
I the request after a conference with
{ Mr. Faulkner, forwarded him Secre
I tary Work's reply which declared:
[“Removal of Lancf Office from Ju
[ neau to Anchorage by Executive Or
der was made after careful considera
tion of conditions both present and
prospective. I would not feel war
ranted in recommending suspension
of removal order."
Interests of Economy
Jack Underwood, former Alaskan
| and now manager of the Seattle'
Chamber of Commerce’s Washington
Bureau with headquarters at the Na
tional Capital, writing a friend In
Seattle who had asked him to look j
into the matter, said:
”At the Interior Department I was
informed thut the executive order j
transferring the U. S. Land Office i
from Juneau to Anbhorage was made
in the Interests of economy for the
Government and the accommodation
of home-seekers In the vicinity of the
railroad. I don't think there is a
chance It will be revoked or sus
pended.”

HARDING SAYS
TAXATION HAS
BEEN REDUCED
Asks States and Municipali
ties to Reduce Expenses—
Praises Administration.
(Oontnnutm rTom rage One.)
States anil pointed to the reduction
of more than half in the Federal
taxes In the past two years compared
to the war peak In 1920.
The President declared that tills
"record of administration by the
party now in control, Is referred to
with no small measure of satis
faction."
Budget Bureau Credited.
President Harding gave much
credit to the Budget Bureau for
what had been accomplished and
asserted the coat of state and local
governments was going up yearly
while the Federal Government cost
was being reduced. He said he had
been informed the revenues of the
[United States had increased to $959,
i 000.000 in 1921 from $368,000,000
in 1913 and "every dollar of that
Incraso had to come some way or
other from the public.
The President said he was of the
opinion that the budget system
might not help much for the units of
the smaller states but a "resolute
commitment to strike at all ex
travaugance and expend public funds
as one would for himself in personal
and business affairs will accomplish
wonders.”
Given Ovation.
Yesterday afternoon, while riding
through the city, the spontaneous
and enthusiastic reception caused
