WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 14,
-—-A vigorous effort Is being made
by Delegate Dimond to secure
early approval by the Public
Works Administration of the pro
gram calling for the expenditure
of $315,700 in behalf of Alaska
Indians and Eskimo. While it is
true that the lateness of the sea
son will preclude start of work in
many parts of the Territory this
year, none the less it will be poss
ible to launch public works at
once in some sections and the
other projects could be commenced
early in the spring. The Delegate
has conferred with many officials
with respect to this program and
has strongly urged that the re
quested funds be made available.
Asahel Curtis, prominent Seattle
photographer, good roads enthus
iast and president of the .Wash
ington State Good Hoads Associa
tion, has appointed a special com
mittee to work in behalf of the
Pacific Yukon Highway. Mem
bers of the committee are from
all parts of the state of Washing
ton.
Senator Peter Norbeek of South
Dakota, who wtjs in Alaska a
couple of years ago, writes Dele
gate Dimond that he is very much
in favor of the Pacific Yukon high
way. Senator Norbeek believes
the highway will ultimately be
extended to Point Barrow.

WASHINGTON. D. C„ Oct. -21.
! — The fisheries industry art
Thursday for the first time, in the
auditorium of the National ’ Mus
ieum, to consider a master code
under the National Recovery Ad
ministration.
Opinion is still split as the nec
essity for such a code.
Some packers, chiefly the larg
er ones, Wbuld rather be placed
under the National Canners' Ass
ociation code. The smaller pack
ers are almost a unit in believing
that a separate code for fisheries
should be drawn, to be followed
by other codes for the several
classes, • such as salmon, halibut,
herring, etc.
This was a meeting of the in
dutry proper, but representatives
of labor were allowed to sit in.
Unfortunately west coast labor
was very poory represented and
Alaska laibor not. at all, while fish
ermen on the Atlantic coast liad
sizeable delegations present.
Delegate Djinond attended tne
meeting from the start to the fin
ish, to fprotec he interests of Alas
ka.
Concerned by the fact that 10,
000 Alaskans vitally dependent up
on the fishing industry had no
voice at the hearing, he asked the
official in charge if any effort had
been made to notify fishermen in
Alaska of the meeting, and was
told that fishing associations locar
«d in Seattle and San Francisco
containing the word "Alaska” had
been notified but no attempt had
been made to reach fishermen act- j
ually and continuously resident in
the Territory.
That admission drew from the
Delegate a spirited protest. He,
said that the associations in San *
Franoisco and Seattle were not
truly representatives of Alaska
fishermen and the latter should
have had opportunity to h'e pres
ent. He said further that even if
they had been notified the cost of
coming to Washington would have
precluded more than a few from
attending and in view of the im
portance of the Alaska fisheries
snd the number of persons making
livings therefrom, hearing should
have been held in Alaska.
In support of his contention the
Delegate offered the following am
endment to the proposed code:
"Provided, that the provisions
of this code shall apply to the
Territory of Alaska only upon the
order of the President, and with
such modifications, if any, as the
President may deem just and
equitable, after a hearing before
:he Adm'nitrator or a Deputy Ad
ministrator, at which hearing
those residents of Alaska who are
employed in tftf* fishing industry
have a fair opportunity to be
heard.”
The presiding official ruled the
amendment was out of order on
the ground that the meeting was
one in which the only participants
entitled to take part in the pro
ceedings were associations engag
ed in the industry and that the
Delegate, having no direct proxy to
represent either packer or fisher
men, was there somewhat in the
status of a guest. However, Dele
gate Dimond believes his point
was well taken and he will eontinh
ue to urge that the code be not
applied to Alaska, until Alaska
fishermen have a chance to
heard.
From New York, or any-other
eastern city, to Nome in three days.
Such a trip will be easily poss
ible next summer, according to
Nick Bez, president of the Peril
S ra‘ts Packing Sompany and also
president of the Alaska Southern
Airway^, operating between South
east Alaska points.
Ip. Washington to attend the
helkdilKs on the fisheries code.
Mr. Bez tells taw it will he eas'ly
possible to be' 'in Nome \ on th >
third day after leaving New York,
travelling" ©ply over established
air l'nes.
Let us say a person Nbnveward
bound steps into a plane Monday
morning in New York. In 2t
hours, or slightly less, he will ar
rive in Seattle. Incidentally, he
need do no more n ght flying to
complete bis trip on schedule.
From Seattle he flies on to Jun
eau, a trip of about nine hours.
Tuesday night he remains in Jun
eau and bright and early Wednes
day he is off for Fairbanks. With
fast planes which will be in ser
vice it should not take more than
six hours for the leg of the flight
and lhea he can continue directly
to Nome, arriving there Wednes
day evening.
This will be made possible. Mr.
Bez says, when Alaska Southern
Airways inaugurates a regular
service next May between Seattle
and Juneau and other Southeast
cities. It is the nderstanding that
similar service will also be pro
vided between Juneau and Fair
banks and, of course, several lines
operates from Fairbanks to Nome.
Tired of this “hero business’’
but determined to continue draw
ing attention to the International
highway, “Slim” Williams plans to
remain at Chicago until the Cen
tury of Progress Exposition is end
ed, he advises Delegate Dimond
by letter.
Then we hill start for Wash
ington by dog team, using his novel
sled mounted on wheels by which
he travelled during the early sum
nun- from Southern Canaria to
Chicago.
Slim calculates it. will take him
about a mouth to make the trip
here. He hopes to have an inter
view with President Roosevelt and
tell the chief executive all about
the highway.
It will be n year next month
since Slim started from Copper
Center on h's momentous journey
