importance to both Alaska and
the United Sattes means that the
improvement of small boat har
bors are essential.”
The Seattle District of the U. S.
Army Engineers has twelve har
bor improvement projects for
Alaska which have been approved
by Congress and will be ready for
construction immediately upon
the application of funds, for four
million dollars worth of improve- j
ments.
There are also three harbor im
provement surveys in progress at
Skagway, Sitka, and Neva Olga
Straits. Seattle Engineers will
soon commence surveys of An
chorage, Cook Inlet, Kodiak, Cor
dova, Upper Kvichak River, Val
dez harbor.
Col. Conrad Hardy, Seattle Dis
trict, who accompanied the gen

keen interest in local improve
ments. I find there an eagerness
•among the people of Alaska to
have the national government as
sist in planning the development
of their emomunities.”

No Easy Jobs With
Lots Of Money
In Alaska
I
—
WASHINGTON, Sep. 28—(i^P)—
Alaska will welcome new settlers,
but hopes they come prepared to
pioneer a place for themselves, so ;
says Miriam Dickey, executive
secretary to Capt. A. E. Lathrop.
She is here to consult with gov- (
ernment agencies.
“Alaska is a land of wonderful
opportunities, but they cannot be
won on a shoestring. People look
ing for easy jobs and lots of money
shouldn’t come up north. It’s still
a pioneering country. If any want
to have a part in its development
and are willing to work hard,
Alaska needs them,” Miss Dickey
said.
She said Alaska is in immediate
need of development for tourist J
industries and believes expansion '
of air facilities to the Territory
will contribute this, because of
reduced travel time. However she
thinks many more vacationists
will visit Alaska by boat. The gen
eral public has just begun-to ap- i
prceiate the scenic and historic
values of the country.
