ALASKA'S PENDING
BIG PROGRAM
A comprehensive plan for the
development of Alaska through
federal aid is on an unprecedent
ed scale is to be submitted to
congress within 30 days after it
convenes in its next session. This
is in accordance with a resolution
adopted by both houses of con
gress.
The pan first is to be laid be
fore President Roosevelt and in
turn transmitted to congress for
its consideration. Delegate Dim
ond of Alaska and Senator Lewis
B. Schwellenbach of the State of
Washington, have been delegated
to formulate a report, with aid of
Governor John W. Troy and the
Territorial Planning Commission.
The recent meeting of federal
communications, weather, and
other officials, with members of
the Planning Commission and
other heads at Juneau was pre
liminary to the general program.
Information to be lodged with
President Roosevelt will go far
in perfecting the general plan
which he will submit to congress
for its ultimate action.
Delegate Dimond has estimated
that various projects contemplat
ed under the scheme should be
completed within 10 years. This
is a long period as things move
in this day or rapid development.
From what has been intimated,
the program would involve the
expenditure of millions of dollars
From the speedy way in which
Alaska has been moving forward
the last two years, and the im
portant role she is assuming in
national and international air
traffic, and her great contribu
tion of gold, fish and other pro
ducts to the nation, it is logical
that all possible dispatch should
be given to the program.
Alaska is such a vast field,with
so many dormant and attractive
resources, and so much in need of
modern public facilities, that it is
apparent the contemplated pro
gram deserves the ready endorse
ment of every representative in
congress and the immediate allo
cation of funds sufficient to lau
nch the new program on a large
scale.
The crying need of more and
better airfields, highways, radio
and weather stations in Alaska
will be apparent to even the most
distant member of congress who
gives the subject consideration.

Generally fair weather prevails
over central and western Alaska
while cloudy and rainy weather
prevails over the Gulf and south
ern Alaska. A snowstorm was
reported at Pt. Barrow. Fair
skies are also reported over south
eastern Alaska and the Pacific
Coast States.
Low pressure is centered over
western Alaska and Gulf with
the lowest readings west of Kod
iak Island. High pressure covers
the Pacific Coast States and west
ern Canada. With this distribu
tion it is likely that generally
fair weather will continue for
Nome and vicinity tonight and
Friday with little change in tem
perature.
Last night's temperatures were
lower over Seward Peninsula but
remain unchanged in other sec
tions.
The lowest Nome temperature
last night was 35 above and the
highest yesterday 48.
