Otto William Geist. archeolo
gist in charge of the Interior De
partment-University of Alaska ex
pedition to St. Lawrence Island,
arrived in Washington May 18.
Mr Geist has been engaged in
compiling and tabulating the re
sults of archeological explora
tions that he conducted during
the past season on the island. He
is now aiding the American Mu
seum of Natural History in edit
ing these results which will lat
er be printed by the govern
ment.
In a speech made in the House
of Representatives today, Dele
gate Dimond defended the Mat
anuska Valley settlement project
and condemned the printing by
newspapers and magazines of ar
ticles on Alaska which have no
basis of fact and yet are not class
fied in their columns as fiction.
Ills attack was particulrly direct
ed at an article written by \V.
Pledge Brown which has been
i featured in a number of news
papers, with little variation, for
almost a year. In this oft used
and :esold article, Brown ram
blingiy describe- the utter use
lessness of the Territory and the
backward, barbarian characterist
ics of the inhabitants and builds
up the story with enlightening
accounts of the halibut going up
the rivers to spawn.
The Delegate showed the al
j most total inaccuracy of these ar
| tides and questioned the intelli
gence of the editors gullible en
ough to pay for them when the
facts could be so readily obtain
ed. He then pointed out the cor
responding facts, showing the
present and potential value of the
Territory as compared with a
number of countries in compara
I tive locations.
In a statement received today
from Admiral C. J. Peoples. Dir
ector of Procurement in the U.
S Treasury Department, Delegate
I Dimond was informed that with
i respect to the proposed Federal
building at Nome, that “the draw
ings are now nearing completion
and it is expected that Hie work
will be placed on the market for
bids not later than June 15".
The letter continues:
“In regard to the building at
Ketchikan, there were as you
know bids opened on October
21, 1935, and all bids received
' were in excess of the amount av
ailable for the construction of
the building. * * *
“The architectural services for
this project were placed in the
hands of a private architect, and
in order to reduce the time for
getting the work on the market
a representative of the architect
was brought to Washington and
the drawings are now being pre
pared here with the assistance of
the drafting force of the Pro
curement Division.
“It is anticipated that the draw
ings and specifications for the
Ketchikan building will be com
pleted in time to advertise for
bids not later than July 5.
“The great interested that you
have expressed in having this:
Division get these two projects
under construction as soon as j
possible is thoroughly appreciat
ed. and it is regretted that the
special circumstances surround
ing both of these projects have
delayed getting them into the,
