Juneauites Entertain Jones
and Hadley as Neighbors
and Our Own People.
Grrcteu as trienns ami represen
tatives In Alaska in Congress as
well as of their own State of Wash
ington and acknowledging that they
had acted on the. assumption that
they represented their own State
heat when they contributed to Al
aska development. Senator Wesley
I, . Jones and Congressman I.indley
II. Hadley, with Commissioner Hen
ry O'Malley, of the Bureau of Fish
eries, were the guests of the Ju
neau Chamber of Commerce at a
luncheon at the Arcade Cafe today

Gov. Scott C. Bone, introduced H.
L. Faulkner, toastmaster, welcomed

and as old personal friends. He de
clared that neither of them ever
failed to respond to a request front
Alaska for help at Washington, Gov
ernor Bone said he was proud of
his Alaskan citizenship and his
Juneau residence, and glad to he an
associate with those who sat at tho
luncheon.
Senator Jones declared that he
had always felt that Alaska had a
right to call upon him, and for
his services, and asked that they
continue to do that. He declared
that In matters of controversy be
tween localities Alaskans should act
through their Delegate and not ask
others to interfere, unless they could
npt agree with the Delegate. He J

by the members of the Chamber.

terests of Alaska and those whom
he directly represented in Congress
were Identical and that he was serv
ing his own constituents when he
was doing something for Alaska.
O'Malley Speaks.
Commissioner O'Malley called at
tention to the circumstance that
the Bureau of Fisheries had been
operating in Alaska under laws of
1H06 vintage and that they were
i obsolete. Finally it had been de
termined that the fisheries must be
conserved if the industry was to be
maintained In perpetuity and that
it had recommended and the Presi
dent had established reservations in
order to give It authority to act.
He said that the Bureau, after con
sidering the whole mutter, decided
that the difference in the quantity
of the run of salmon in the different
Be: sons made it so that It would not
be possible to conserve the salmon
run by fixing a maximum pa^Jc
alone, but that it had decided that
there must be a limit to ttie number
of those permitted to operate in
the separate zones, regulation of
the gear used, restriction of tlie sea
sons, and, in some cases, a limita
tion of tile fish to be taken.
Col. Jamoe O. Steese declared that
the consolidation of the administra
tion of tlie Alaska Railway and the
Aluska Road Commission, irrespec
tive of all personalities, was a good
tiling, and that it was already being
fhfvwn in the results. He said the
railroad had had a good year, and
promised to m^ke further state
ments about details cf the various
works of the various organizations
pc Is connected with from time to
time.
issues Presented
Isieal Alaskans presented some of
the matters in which Juneau is inter
ested to Senator Jones and Congress
man Hadlpy. Former Mayor R. E.
Robertson discussed the need for a
land office at Juneau and urgpd that
one should be established here at
the earliest possible dale. John W.
Troy urged that the Government
should announce as a settled policy
that the United States Government
would not hold the natural resources
of Alaska for the purpose of making
a profit out of the ownership, or
operation of the resources, but that
satisfy the demands of conservation

TAffellfi-R? ON VACATION' * ■ *
A iintion lias been caused in Ohio and In Canada by the
vacation plans rf Governor Victor Donahey, of Ohio, and Warden
l’rc :on C. Thomi’B, of the Ohio Satte Penitentiary, at Columbus.
With Hull families, the Governor and tho Warden were getting
all settled for a long stay at tne Gull River, near Coboconk, On
tario, Canada, when it was discovered tiiat two of their servants
were men who had been sentenced to life imprisonment in Ohio for
murder. The Canadian officials announced the prisoners would be
deported, and Donahey, who claimed his enemies were trying to
make political capital of the event, declared he would leave Canada
If the officials acted. The lifers are: Bari Jennings, who killed

that the timber he cut and used in
a manner that would permit of re
forestation, the Government to get
its profits through the development.
! He urged that when leases of timber
| lands for pulp and paper manufac
turing arc made the stipulated prices
should prevail for the life of the
lease.
Land Office Needed
Henry Roden and Toastmaster H.
L. Faulkner urged the need for a land
| office, concessions in the pulp and
paper contracts, for assay offices for
the benefit of prospectors and other
matters. Mr. Roden declared that
the people should get down to con
crete mutters when talking about
what the Government should do for
Alaska, ami not wail about things in
general. He declared that a great
deal had been said about the numer
ous bureau operating in the Terri
tory,-hut he did not see that it would
help so much if they were changed,
for there would have to be heads of
departments and branches of the pub
lie service even If all were under
one head that would amount to
about the same thing.
WARM OCEAN CURRENTS BRING
MILD NIGHTS TO THE FAROES
LONDON, Aug. IT.—Tlte greater
warmth of the water surrounding the
Faroe Islands, in the North Sea, has
caused the temperature of the Islands
to undergo a radical change during
I the last few months.
Scientific Investigations have shown
; that a warm ocean current from the
i south is encircling the Islands, and
| that great quantities of strange fish
scales have been washed ashore.
These scales belong to a type of oc
i topus that inhabits western Euro
! poan waters, but hitherto has not
i been known to exist north of the
i coast of England.
The temperature of the Islands has
i been steadily increasing and the
i veg tatinn has grown more rapidly.
The nights, which usually are cold,
t have become very mild.

The Nenana News, published three

i following appears at the “load” In!

of The News has passed into rhe (
hands cf the Alaska Miners News
Publishing Company and will be
moved to Anchorage where publica
tion will begin shortly of a new
daily newspaper—The Alaska Min
ers News.
“It is with real regret that this
announcement of suspension is made.
The editor of The News was among

September 24. 1916 and continuing
steadily and hopefully during the
almost seven years with scarcely
a day of rest. The Ncjws bus done
what It could to further the inter

generally and the editor is loath
now to leave ihe many loyal friends
whe, by thefr generous support dur
ing the long period of publication,
have made it possible for The News
to be of service to the community.
But The News plant, which 13 among

the editor feels that the opportunity
to place it where there will-be work
for its full iqi^pnient is one not to
be overlooked; and besides, the edi

publication Feems to be the Only
way to get It. In this connection.
It might interest readers of Tho
News to know the editor, has been
in the North contlmipusb' since
1898 and the temptation now to
pay a brief visit to the States after
all these years may partly. account
for the acceptance of the offer
which will result In the removal of
The News plant tc Anchorage. How
long the editor will remain in the
States and what he will do^remains
for the future to disclose. ’ It is al
most a safe prediction, however,
that he will return to Alaska, Just
like the majority of other dUdtimers
who have gone to the States."
