FriendB ot Alaska are trying to have congress create a commission which will have charge of all public land utilities and IroucUlBes In the territory. This com mission Is not to Interfere in any way with tho administrative govern ment as at present constituted, but to deal entirely with the development of the natural resources . of Alaska. ThoBe who promise this system de clare that the present attitude ot the government has decreased the popu lation of Alaska and has to a certain extent paralyzed the industries of the territory. Those who are urging this commis sion call attention to the census bu reau's summary of Alaska mining operations, and also to the fact 'hat it requires more money now to em- gage in mining than it did ten years ago; that there are fewer people em ployed, and that the products devel oped ln the year 1D19 were less than they were ten years ago. The census bureau in commenting on the figures shown below says: Placer Mining Drops. "These changes -reflect the well- known decreas ln bonanza placer mining and the development on large scale of lode mining in the ter- rittory during the decade. The bill for the Alaskan conirat slon is now being consldored by the house committee on territories, and a number of prominent men in Alaska are taking much interest in the prop osition. . Pulp Wood Rots. J. L. McPherson, an engineer, be lieves that the Alaska timber avallb ble for pulp wood would furnish prac tically two-thirds of all the putp an) paper needed ln the United States. In his testimony before the commit leu, he said that conditions in Alaska have prevented the development of this In dustry, and that Instead of keeping Americnn labor and capital employed in Alaskan forests, it had been di verted to Canada and British Colum bia timber, while the Alaska pulp wood was allowed to rot. "The present need Is a centralized and localized management of the for ests by a resident authority," Me- Pherson declared. "This authority hould be empowered to encourage he establishment of the pulp woon Industry by reasonable regulations. In strikin gcontrast to tne devel opment of this industry In Alaska. McPherson producec statistics indi cating that the paper pulp manufac ture of British Columbia, which waj started in 1912. is now the Industry of second Importance in the province. His figures showed that Urlllsn Co lumbia ln M18 sold more than $10,- 000,000 worth of paper to Americnn newspapers, and that tne capital ior the development of the industry came mostly from American sources, i ne importation of pulp wood in 1919 was valued at an exress or idb.uw.wuu. nd more than two-thirds of the Imports came from Canada. He de-J clared the Ict is mat uie uiuieu Slates has made it impossible to de velop a pulp wood industry in Alaska and forced American capital to go to Canada, and has at the same utile made the nation dependent upon other countries' for the equivalent of two- thirds of the news print used oy American newspapers. Salman Industry Hit. While the government has failed to use the timber resources of Alaska. thereby contributing to its destruc tion bv dry-rot. it has allowed an other essential resource to oecome threatened with depletion tlTOUgn overdevelopment. McPherson yielded figures showing that the salmon fish eries of Alaska have produced mor than $300,000,000. and that the supply 6f this valuable food Is rapidly be mmlm exhausted because of the lack of a law to protect the industry. McPherson said that salmon, once ihr nnor man's fond In Scotlend and on the eastern shore of the United Rising soon after 1 o'clock this morning Miss Mary Hudson, of Elk ton, prepared a momlng meal, donned her best clothes, and at 4 o'clock left over a rough road for Roseburg, and within a few minutes after her ar rival mounted the platform at the! Methodist church and apparently without an effort or without the least signs of fatigue, delivered an excep tionally long declamation on the sub ject, "Abraham Lincoln,', thereby winning for herself and her school the first prize in the county declama tion contest for girls. Miss Hudson was not graded for her pluck and spirit, or her score would doubtless have been much better, tor it was no small task for a young girl from the grade school to put forth the effort that she was required to do to reach the city and take part in as cool and collected manner as she did. Her dec lamation was long and difficult but it was perfectly memorized and de livered with the sanfrold of the ex perienced and polished orator. However, she was not without op position, for Miss Elsie Foudray of Yoncalla. who won the second prize. was only two points behind, with her declamation on the "Character of Francis E. Wlllard." Miss Ruth Col lins of the Benson school ln Rose burg, won third place with her reci tation, "O Captain! My Captain!" Roseburg won first prize in the boys' contest, David K. Dunham of tho Benson school winning the honors with "Lincoln's Gettysburg Address." Joe Wilson of' Yoncalla was second with a modern oration, Lloyd George's address "Commending America." El don Moxlev won third place with Lin coln's "Gettysburg Address." In tho hleh school contest Zola Foudray of Yoncalla won first place. Virginia Prlaulx of Roseburg, second. and Zelma Henderson, Sutherlln, ffilnA fnv , waf. nr.ll- two contestants, Paul Truebloou of Roseburg, who won first place and Ted Francis of Yoncalla, second. All of these declamation contests were well attended by children of the various schools, by parents and others Interested. Each of tho stu dents entered received great applause from their supporting factions and the rendition of each selection was met with hearty approval. In the afternoon a big crowd gath ered at Bellows' park for the track and field meet. Over ono hundred boys and girls entered ln the event scheduled for ;he afternoon and from early indications It was apparent that some excellent athletic high school records are to be set. One of the big attractions was the Camas Valley drill team which put on an Indian club drill, a demonstra tion of physical training, march steps and olher drills, yells, soncs. etc. The pupils have been well trained under the direction of Miss Louise Basford.' assisted by Miss Ethel McCormlck. and the students received hearty ap plause for their excellent work. The field presented a' very active nppesranee this afternoon as It was divided into sections and different events were in progress at a number of places simultaneously. The grand stand was completely filled and many were standing about the field watch ing the various contestants as they competed in their respective events.
