Secretary Fall devotes u consider able part of his report to reclamation projects ttnd In this connection he urges that "an nffirnintive strong policy be announced by the execu tlve." . i "The necessary advances can be made from year to year without be commg an excessive bunden upon the tax payers," the secretary Bays, "and as lias already been, proven by ex perience, one year's crop upon o acre of reclaimed claimed Irrigated ground will be of value largely in excess of the toal amount expended In rendering such arce productive. Under the present system, or any proposed legislation, of course the cost of such project will be repaid and meanwhile the addled wealth yieded will lighten tljj-'tax burdons upon all the taxpayers of the conn try." Referring to pending bills provid iiig for further, reclamation activi ties, Mr. Fall says that it they are enacted additional opportunity for lubor will be offered the unemployed and nt the same time homes made for those who desire them. ' Thorough Organization, "This department," he adds. "Is thoroughly organized with sufficient force and is ready to carry on any work which such an enlightoned pol icy as suggested might be assigned ! to it In reclamation or other develop- J ment of our national resources." ! Discussing the situation, the inter' - lor'secretary declares the resources of that territory, "and of the wealth to ho drnwn therefrom ln(the future nre almost Incalculable." "There are 21,000,000 acres ot lands in forests in that territory, be says, "and many millions of acres upon the public domain upon which settlers may depend for mining tim bers, lumbers for houses, etc. There are millions of acres of land fitted fpr agriculture and the Agricultural resources are such that a large pop ulation can be cunported in Alaska without the Importation ot food ' stuffs from the United States or other countries. , I'lidevelopcd ilesoiirccs. "Alaska's resources have not been ; developed for various reasons, among others the lack of transportation and largely because of the fact that these .resources are administered .'through some thirty-eight bureaus 'and various departments ot this gov, eminent. In my opinion authority to-administer the laws relative to .Alaska's natural resources must be vested In some on department of this government that the activities charg ed with the administration of such laws may be properly co-ordinated Transportation Is necessary of course oud the government has as sisted insofar as the construction of a railroad from Reward to Fairbanks Is concerned, which road will be ready for operation within a few months.

But the Laun-Dry-Ettc has revolu tionized wash day. It washes beauti fully as every good housekeeper wants her clothes washed everything fronj their Georgettes and line linens to' heavy blankets and comforts. But. more than that, it has abolished much of the hard work of wash day. it Dries the clothes without a wringer It has abolished the wringer. It dries the wush atubfull at a time for the line in one minute, without a wringer. . The clothes are left in the tub, the tub is raised above the water line'by means of pressure on a pedal then, you turn a small handle, and, presto 1 in one minute the wash is whirled dry for the line wringer dry without a wringer. No buttons smashed Bluing and rinsing are done in the usual thorough, sanitary way. You don't skip any of the basic principles of good washing you skip all the hard work. Only one tub is needed, and the clothes come out of (he dryer easier to iron no wrinkles, and with all the buttons on (this pleases husbands). No buttons smashed no snap fasten ers and hooks and eyes spoiled. One woman tells us she hasn't had to sew on a button in the twelve months she's used the Laun-Ury-Iitte. . in ate rw ' " ZweireJ r;r:r.T.y.v.v.v.v.v..T.v.T.,r.vr BmJcnrJ and tfnvrd j lit GW llnukirpint Iniwmtl No more red hands And you never need put your hands into the water hot or cold when you wash with a Laun-Dry-Iitte.
