Commenting on the recently quoted
statement of Secretary of the In
ferior Wilbur, in which that official is
ipurported to have broadcast a call to
the young men of the East to “go
West and North to Alaska,” Terri
torial Senator Allen Shattuck of Ju
neau has suggested that Secretary
’Wilbur be requested to take means
immediately to counteract the objec
tionable recommendations by giving
publicity to the actual state of affairs
- in the Territory.
The Senator insists that even the
^agriculturally inclined be discourayed
from coming to Alaska for the reason
that “such settlers cannot make a
Hiving raising products.”
With a graduating class numbering
mine, the annual commencement of

day, May 25. John Rustgard, attor
ney general of the Territory, will de
liver the commencement address.

At Cordova, a few days ago, fol
lowing a partial strike, which was
precipitated by a downward revision
of prices paid by packers and fish
buyers for clams and salmon, there
was general acceptance of a revised.
Clam diggers returned to work with
the understanding that they were to
receive 4 1-2 cents a pound. Indepen
dent fishermen who walked out with
the clam diggers also returned to
their boats, having agreed to sell
i their red fish at 271-2 cents as
against 25 cents last season, and
SI.25 for kings as against $1.50 a
year ago. In addition to the prices
quoted, the companies will furnish
the fishermen with gasoline, oil,
bread and some other supplies.
j Dr Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary
of the Interior, has announced the
creation of a sanctuary for Alaska’s
brown bear, which it is believed will
save the species from extinction. The.
announcement explains that Presi
dent Hoover has signed a proclama
tion more than doubling the area of
Katmai national monument, by bring
ing the confines to the coast line
along Shelikof straits. The monu
ment now totals more than two and a
half million acres, the area being as
large as many of the national parks.

Sales of copper by customs smel
ters at nine cents a pound delivered
were reported at New York, the price
representing a decline of a quarter
of a cent from the previous quotation,
and the price now stands at the low
est level reached .in .more than 37
years.
Sales are reported as extremely
slow, largely because producers are
unwilling to sell at current prices.
At Washington, as a direct result
of conferences held with President
Hoover during several days, Secetary
of War Hurley and members of his
general staff are now preparing for
the abandonment and consolidation of
numerous superfluous military estab
lishments throughout the country, to
the end that cost of upkeep may be
eliminated.
Secretary Hurley declined to dis
cuss the details of the conferences,
but it has been learned from War De
partment subordinates that the gen
eral stac no wis planning the elimina- .
tion of posts which appear to serve"
no military purposes. It is contended ; j
by officials that the department is
now maintaining about forty posts
which are regarded as unnecessary to
the military establishment. 1
