Roden Files For
Terr. Treasurer
JUNEAU, Alaska, i/P)— Two
pieces of news came from the ter
ritorial treasurer’s office yester
day:
1. Treasurer Henry Roden, ap
pointed when Oscar Olson re
signed after disclosures of em
bezzlement in his office, filed on
the democratic ticket for the posi
tion in the April primaries.
2. Two insurance companies
who held $200,000 in bonds on
Olson, notified the attorney gen
eral’s office that- checks would be
forthcoming to make up $43,351.
91 unaccounted for during Olson’s
regime. The money will go to the
general fund.
An overheated stove was the
cause of the fire alarm at about
eleven o’clock on Monday evening
at the home of Sig Gritten on C
street. No damage was done.
Olaf Halverson, of the High
School staff, called attention to
the fact that today the baromet
ric pressure was higher than it
has been in a period of five years,
higher than it has been since his
arrival in Nome.
His records show only one high
er reading, which was made in
Kodiak while he was teaching
there.
This statement was confirmed
by the U.S. weather bureau,
which states that the pressure to
day is 30.86, and that on April 2,
1945, it was 30.96.
It is estimated there are 65 mil
lion people in the French colonial
empire.
