MURRAY IS IN
FAVOR DOING
AWAY TRAPS
Charles Murray, representative
elect to the 1935 session of the Ter
ritorial Legislature, from the Third
Division, and a former citizen of
Nome, was a welcome visitor in Val
dez, says the Valdez Miner of Dec.
14. While here Mr. Murray confer
red with J. H. Patterson, also a
member of the Legislature on bills
pending and matters likely to be
brought before the House at the
coming session. In an interview Mr
Murray stated to the Miner repre
sentative that he believed the big
fight before the coming session
would be on the abolition or re
striction of fish traps in the Terri
tory. Mr. Murray declared that the
traps kept many hundreds of men
out of employment as a few men
j with traps could do the work of
i hundreds with seines and other
! gear.
Representative Murray stated,, it
[was hard to give the paper an out
i line of pending legislation, for no
j one knew what would come up, and
to make plans beforehand would
cause many constituents to feel they
j had not been treated fairly in case
! proposed legislation changed for oth
er and more important bills.
Representative Murray declared
| himself in favor of a home for aged
pioneer women. He said the men
had a fine home built for them, but
(|the women had nothing to look for
i ward to in case of want or illness,
i Returning to the subject of fish
| traps Mr. Murray said that the fish
were being depleted and no actual
■ good coming to residents of the
Territory by use of traps. He re
j lated how several Cordova young
I people worked for the local canner
j ies throughout the entire season with
their earnings exceeding less than
$50 for the season. Hundreds of
:men are walking the streets of Al
Jaskan towns who could be gainfully
employed as trollers and gill-net
j fishermen. In concluding Mr. Mur
jray said he would be found work
ing in harmony with the members
of the Third division, for most good
for all. He paid a warm tribute to
Jas. H. Patterson and to H. H. Mc
Cutcheon, stating that they were in
valuable to the division as a result
1 of their experience in previous leg
islatures.
If I can help in legislation affect
ing Valdez, let me know,” were his
parting words.

advised in a telegram he received
today from Delegate in Congress,
Anthony J. Dimond. The allotment
was made January 2, says the Fair
banks News-Miner.
The message the Mayor received
from the delegate follows:.
"Washington, D.C., December 13. (
“Mayor E. B. Collins, Fairbanks. ]
“Advised that Public Works Ad
ministration has made allotment of
$50,000 for municipal public works
at Fairbanks in conformity with the
application therefor Congratula
tions.
— “Anthony J. Dimond, Delegate.
The application specified that $30,- [
000 is to be expended for the City
Hall and Fire Department Building.
$10,000 for sewers and $10,000 for
sidewalks.
No repayments on principle or
payments of interest are required
for the first five years, and then in-^
stallmcnts on principle and pay-J
ments of interest at the rate of 4
per cent per annum are to be made
annually for a period of 25 years, J
at the end of which time the obliga-'
tion will be amortized.
"As soon as the money is placed 1

Collins said, “we will go ahead with
definite plans for the City Hall and
Fire Department Building, for sew
er extensions and for sidewalk im
provements. Materials for these pub
lie works will be ordered as soon as

be started early in the spring.
“With the receipt of sewer system
supplies and if the Civil Works Ad

take care of unemployed in Fair

me to believe that our application

Dionne Children
Have Big Xmas
-- ■ -v
(By The Associated Press)
COLLANDER, Ont., Dec. 29th—
More than 100 Christmas gifts, in
cluding five pairs of wool mittens
from Mrs. Mary Ferguson McIntyre,
101 years old, of Dalhousie on Lake
Ontario, were received Christmas
Day by the Dionne quintuplets.
The parents of the quintuplets
were so busy receiving gifts for
them that the Christmas party for
the other five children in the family
was postponed until the day after
Christmas.
To Dr. A. R. Dafoe, who brought
the Dionne quintuplets into the
world and who has caared for them
since, an automobile has been pre
sented as a Christmas gift by auto
mobile dealers’ in the nearby towns
of North Bay and Powassan, Ont.
The new car vvill replace the auto
mobile that was stolen two months
ago from the North country doctor.
The five Dionne infants were six
months and 26 days old on Christ
mas day. They have lived longer
than any other quintuplets in the
world's history.

Nol iasy To Shift
Alligators Around
North Carolina
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C — A gentle
man down in North Carolina recent
ly ,had occasion to send a four-foot
alligator to another part of the
state. The reptile, however, failed
to agree with the idea and straight
way set out to prove that it is not
easy to take a happy, contented alli
gator from his beloved swampland
and make a captive of him.
The alligator first showed his dis
like of the whole affair by escaping
from his crate while the train was
moving. Around and around the
baggage car went the clerk, with
the reptile in hot pursuit. The Nor
folk Virginian-Pilot says that rein
forcements were able to corral it
under a bale and deliver it, under
protest, to the consignee. But a few
days later it was learned that the
elusive creature had even escaped
from him, and the ’gator probably
lurks in the swamps today with a*
sly grin on its face.
