Harold Butcher, Attorney
At Anchorage, Nominated
Judge 2nd Division Court
I
Announcement was made at the
Chamber of Commerce meeting
that Harold Butcher, attorney at
Anchorage, has been nominated
judge of the Second Division dis
trict court.
Announcement was made that
Congressman Toby Morris, chair
man of the House Subcommittee
on Indian Affairs, accompanied
by Delegate Bartlett and several
other Congressmen, is scheduled
to arrive in Nome on Nov. 6 for
a hearing on Alaska Native Land
Bill H.R. 4388.
One of the important features
of this bill would be the authori
zation of a $40,000,000 appropria
tion as a revolving fund for the
assistance of Alaska natives in
the way of loans, with the provi
sion that they have 40 years to
pay it back to the government.
Another feature of the bill is that
of settling land claims of the
natives.
President Galvin announced a
special meeting to make plans
for this congressional party’s en
tertainment.
Dewey Goodrich and A. Polet
were appointed to the Board of
Directors to fill vacancies. Their'
appointment was unanimously
confirmed by the members.
Don Stewart, of the Casa de
Paga Mining Company, was a
guest of the Chamber. He repor
ted that he has had much difficul
ty this summer in obtaining parts
for his two dredges at Deering.
With the cost of fuel more than
double, he stated, and the 40 men
employed absorbing 60% of the
receipts, he sees little hope for
the gold mining industry until
the government allows the free
marketing of gold or raises the
price of gold.
Secretary Polet called atten
tion to the fact that a statistical
report of Interior Department
appropriations totalling over $52,
000,000 for their Alaskan activi
ties reveals that none is directly
earmarked for the entire North
western Alaska. Anyone wishing
to see the report, he stated, may
da so.
