A1 Monsen, and in company with
Philip S. Smith, chief Alaskan

Mr. Dimond. who left Washing

a vacation to Alaska, made a rap
id trip through southeastern Al

ter conferring with Governor Troy
jand others at that place, to White*
horse and thenc^ Into Fairbanks,
I in the party of Pan American
Airways officials who yesterday re
tamed from their flight to Siber
ia.
Remaining in Fairbanks for a
day, Mr. Dimond then took a
plane for Nome. He Is to address
the pnbllc of Nome at the A. B..
Hall this evening, the meeting to
commence at It pin. He has been
working continuously since His el
ection two years ago, in the in
terests of Alaska at Washington,
D. C. Many matters of legisla
tion were presented to Congress
by Mr. Diniond during the past
year and it is safe to say that
about ninety percent of what he
proposed, has been enacted.
At present, he is ^visiting the
various divisions of Alaska in ad
attempt to gather all possible In
formation .which may he of use in
the next session of Congress.
As Is the case when special
.
conditions warrant, the numerouH
communities hav® wired Mr. Dl
mond In Washington asking him
to give this and that matter his
attention and see if he could not
have some special dispensation
made of their problems. Now ns
la on the ground to get acquaint
ed with the various problems af
fecting the different divisions, as
much as possible.. Ilf lias much
to report regarding the general
situation In Washington as re
gards to Alaskan affairs.
As evidenced by the amount of
legislation which was passed dur
ing the past year, the powers in ,
Washington appear tq be very
much interested in Alaska. Mr.
Dtmond is well respected and lik
ed in the National Capital. His
I work for Alaska has established
his contact both In the territory
and at. Washington.
\ His address this evening to the
public of Monte, it Is understood,
will have much to d» with what
has been going on in Washington
during the past two years. The
public has been invited to attend,
and a large turn-out la expected.
The Delegate Is planning on re
turning to Fairbanks tomorrow,
weather permitting. From there
he plans on going to Valdez, Cord
ova, Seward and Anchorage, be
fore election.
