has taken the matter up with Major

William N.. Abbes has tendered his

The hill introduced by Delegate
* Wickersham to grant the Territorial
Legislature power to manage the fish
eries, the game, fur-bearing and
other wild’ animals, was -eferred by
the Territories committee to the De
partment of the Interior. An adverse
:report was made hy Secretary Wilbur,
•who writes to the committee as- fol
lows:
“I transmit herewith a copy of a
. ** letter from the Hon. George A. Parks,
Governor, of. the Territory of Alaska,
Ao whom the bill was referred by me
i zfor report as to the necessity for, as
•well as the advisability of, the enact
ment of the legislation contemplated
:in the bill. It will, be seen, therefrom
'that he regards the present policy of
'the Government in the controlling of
"the fisheries and wild life as adequate
and satisfactory, and that the Terri
tory is not financially able to assume
■ahe burden, which would' he imposed
on it under- the bill. I concur in the
conclusions of the Governor in this
.matter, and recommend that the bill
-be not given favorable consideration.”
In his conclusions the. Governor
states that “under the policies that
are in effect the fisheries* are being
^protected and the depleted areas re
stored to normal production.” To do
‘ this work the appropriations made
-and expended by the Government for
"the past three years have been as
•follows: 1929, $$418,456; 1930. $414,
001; 1931, 457,868., The Governor
adds that the average yearly revenue
derived by the Territory from all
* ^sources over the past five- years av
erages about- $1,000,000 yearly, and
then states: “Revenue* are decreas
ing instead of. increasing; and there
:must be an . increase in taxes next

duced 76.93 per cent of the revenues,
and obviously it is impossible to fur
ther burden them to provide any
where the sqm necessary to maintain
an organization such as is now ed
mhusterrng the fisheries. Obviously
the Territory is not financially able to
assume the burden that would be im
posed by the bill- The situation with
regard to the game is much the same.
Approximately $100,000 is expended
each year by the Biological Survey
for warden service and predatory an
imal contro. The combined service is
now costing approximately $550,000
per year, and even though it could be
had for half the sum the Territory
could not finance the organization.”
The Governor further adds that “it
not advisable to place the Burden on
the Territory until such time as it is
shown that it is financially able to
provide adequate safeguards to re
place those now functioning.”
The Department of the Interior has
. a request before Congress for the
j continuance of the use of the U. S. ]
j S. S. Boxer. If this request is grant
■ ed and Congress provides the funds
| to operate the Boxer, it will be used
I by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in in
j creasing the medical relief work
j among the native villages in South
j eastern Alaska, including Sitka, and
in transporting to the Juneau Native
hospital such natives as need hospital
care.
The Washington office of the Ver
mont Marble Company states that the
specifications for the new Federal
building at Fairbanks require consid
erable “Tokeen” marble. As a conse
quence the operations at Tokeen. near
Wrangeli, which have been idle for
the past two years, are about to re
sume operations with a crew of 75
men at the quarries.
Secretary of the Interior Wilbur
has submitted to the chairman of the
appropriations committee that econ
omies in Federal administration can
be brought about by the placing of
health, education and conservation
L..er assistant secretaries. In this
connection he submitted a chart show
ing the complicated Federal adminis
tration in Alaska. It was pointed out
that unification of control, and espe
cially a single all-embracing budget,
would effect great economy in that
Territory.
Delegate Wickersham has been in
formed that the House joint resolu
tion providing for the appropriation
of $30,000 to defray the expenses of
participation by the Government in
the Second Polar Year program, Au
gust 1, 1932, to August 31, 1933, is
likely to pass the Senate and thus be
come a law, as the resolution has al
ready passed the House. Most of this
money will be used to erect and main
tain a station at Fairbanks. Accord
ing to the plan, there are to be some
80 stations established throughout the
world, supported by various govern
ments of the world. To certain’gov
ernments are allotted certain stations,
and to other governments are allotted
certain other stations. Our Govern
ment is allotted a station at or near
Fairbanks, Alaska. The idea :s that
at an instantaneous moment through
out the world the whole 80 stations
will take observations, so that when
all the data is gathered together the
station in Alaska can say what hap
pened at that station on that partic
ular day and at that particular min
ute. It could not be brought to such
accuracy fifty years ago when the
other polar year was held, but by rea
son of the radio it can be brought to
the very instant. The consequence
will be that when the station in Alas
ka says that the polar lights ap
peared at a certain time amt certain
things happened, the stations of the
world can say what happeireif Sy vir
tue of the polarse lights. lights at
their particular stations.
