Mr. and Mrs. Joe Crosson, of Fair
i banks fame, came out from Fairbanks
k to look after business in New York,
x and incidentally spent few days in
Ti Washington the past week.
k A writer inquired of one of the
t evening newspapers, “What State or
' Territory of the United States has
L (ess than 100,000 popuation?” And
i the reply was: “Only one State,
namely, Nevada, and one Territory,
* Alaska, are in this class. Nevada had
i. 91,000 and Alaska 60,000 in 1030."
The Ketchikan Chamber of Com
* merce is anxious to secure the erec
; tion of a fisheries laboratory in their
. town and is urging Commissioner
x O’Malley to give serious consideration
to the advantages offered by Ketchi
kan as the logical location for such a i
station. The Act of May 21, 1930,
apthorize sappropriations for a num
. ber of stations and laboratories in the
United States, under a five-year plan, j
It authorizes an appropriation during
the fiscal year beginning July 1,1934,
such amounts as may be necessary
*« for the establishment of a fisheries
laboratory in the Territory of Alaska, j
at a cost not to exceed $50,000. Com
„ missioner O’Malley states that be
v< cause of the financial condition there
has been a slowing-down of the pro- |
* gram and for the present year a com- j
plete cessation of all new construction
under the Act referred to. It is quite
unlikely, therefore, that proposals j
. authorized for the fiscal year begin-j
uing July 1, 1934, can be undertaken
in that year, inasmuch as projects
authorized for prior years must be.
given first consideration.

It looks now asthough Delegate
Wickersham’s bill to provide salaries
instead of fees to be paid U. S. com
missioners in Alaska will not pass at
this session of Congress because of
the general determination of both po
litical parties to keep down appropri
ations. The House committee on ju
diciary referred the bill to the De
partment of Justice and received the
following expression from Attorney
General William D. Mitchell:
“The Department has for some
time been considering legislation to
put commissioners in Alaska on a sal
ary basis, and is inclined, as a gen
eral proposition, to look upon the
plan with approval. However, it
would require a new appropriation to
cover the salaries and expenses of
commissioners in an amount estimat
ed at $175,000. Against this there
would be offset approximately $37,
000 per annum (fees now received by
commissioners from sources other
than the United States) an aggregate
of $46,000, leaving a net additional j
cost to the government of $129,000.\
In view of the increased cost to the;
Government which this measure j
would involve, and because I do not j
regard its enactment now an absolute j
essential, and in view of the present j
linancial situation, 1 recommend j
against its enartment at this time.”

committee on public lands. Under the'
bill the east side extension from!
Windy creek north brings the park
boundary to the right-of-way of the
Alaska Railroad and takes in a few
isolated tracts lying east of the rail- j
road and the west part of the Nenana
