OFFICE OF A J. DIMOr&D
Delegate from Alaska
(By J. J. ECKLES)
Formal Laying of the corner
stone of the new Federal Build
ing in Ketchikan was officially
proposed by the Treasury Depart
ment to take place on May 15. In
making the announcement, Hon.
W. E. Reynolds, Assistant Direc
tor of Procurement, requested
Delegate Anthony J. Dimond to
act as chairman of the Committee
on Arrangements, which would
also include the Mayor of Ketchi
kan and the Postmaster. Mr.Rey
nolds proposed the arrangement
of a suitably impressive program
to open with music, the invoca- [
tion would then be made and
would be followed by an address
of welcome, to be delivered by
the Mayor or the Postmaster, and
other addresses would follow, J
'The official laying of the corner- j
stone would then take place, in '
which it was suggested that all
responsible local organizations}
desiring to do so should partici
pate. Because there is little
likelihood of Congress adjourn
ing by that time and as there are
so many Alaska matters pending
before that body, the Delegate
said he would find it necessary to
decline actual participation in the
ceremony.
The second deficiency bill pass
ed the House on April 28th. This
measure is making appropriations
to supply deficiencies faced in the
several appropriations for the fis
cal year ending June 30, 1937.
The bill contains two items for
Alaska. One of these is for an
additional amount for the “Alas
ka Railroad Appropriated Fund"
to cover expenses largely incur
red as a result of the recent mari
time strike when the Govern
ment chartered vessels to make
emergency shipments to the ter
ritory. The estimate for this is
$172,222.
The other Alaska item is for
meeting the legislative expenses
incurred through the extraordin
ary session of the Territorial Leg
islature held following the regu
lar session. The estimates for
this included $5,400 for salaries
of members, $1,290 for salaries of
employees, and $2,010 for print
ing and misceallaneous expenses,
making a total of $8,700.00.
The Dimond bill was favorably
reported recently by the Bureau
of Fisheries and will prubably be
brought up for consideration of
the House Committee on Merch
ant Marine and Fisheries soon, i
If it is approved by the House be
fore action is taken in the Senate
on the Schwellenbach bill, the
House bill can be substituted for
the Senate measure when it is
before the Senate Committee on
Territories and Insular Affairs, to 1
expedite enactment of the pro-1
posed legislation.

Authorizing a preliminary ex
amination or survey of the har
bor at Craig, Alaska, with a view
to its improvement, House Joint
Resolution 340 was introduced by
the Delegate on April 26.
Plans have been completed by
Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of
physical anthropology of Smith
sonian Institution, for his ninth
expedition into Alaska in a search
for the remains of prehistoric
human life. Dr. Hrdlicka and a
small group of volunteer workers
will leave Seattle May 20 on the
Coast Guard vessel Northland en
route to Atka Island in the west
ward part of the Aleutian group
of islands.
While conducting investigations
on Kodiak Island and other sec
tions of Alaska in the past sev
eral years many valuable discov
eries have been made. Most of
the findings appear to deflfinitely
support the scientific belief that
men came to this continent by
way of Alaska, and probably fol
lowed the Aleutian Island route
as well as across the Bering Stra
it. By going further to the west
ward this year, where excava
tions will be made at the sites of
ancient towns reported on Atka
and Adak Islands, Dr. Hrdlicka
expects to find additional proof
to either confirm or disprove this
theory.
It is also hoped that the expe

dition will be able to secure Al
eut mummies for the Smithson
ian Institution. The Aleuts are
said to fiave mummified their
dead and wrapped them in skins
and then placed the bodies in the
island caves.
AH hough the method of mum
mification used by these early
Aleuts was reportedly crude, Dr.
Hrdlick believes that it may in
dicate a direct connection with
an early Asiatic culture retained
by the descendants of those who
migrated to Alaska from the
west.
Diversion of the flood waters of
Lowell Creek from their natural
path through '.he town of Seward
wil be undertaken if Congre:«
approves a proposal now pending
in both the House and the Senate
Damage caused by the deposi
tion of flood debris inSeward dur
ing the past 20 years amounted
ti nearly $270,000 according to a
report of the War Department on
the project. A flume constructed
in 1929 to carry the discharge of
the creek through the town has
boen afTording temporary relief
from the floods, but as its estim
ated life is now nearly over, a
! pornuvnent solution to the piob
leni has become necessary.
A bill to authorize the modifi
cation of the project in accord
with the recommendation of the
report was introduced in the
House by the Delegate on April
21. 19:57, and on April 27 an iden
! tical bill was introduced in the
Senate by Hon. Lewis B. Schwel
lenbach of Washington.
For some years there has been
considerable difference of opin
ion in Alaska as to the advant
