VUhajalmur Stefansson, famous
Arctic explorer, and Delegate Di
inond had a long talk about Alas
ka a few days back. Mr. Stefan
Bison, who now makes his home in
New York C'ty, maintains a
keen interest in the Territory and
is always ready to ally himself
with every move for its develop
ment.
.
Two members of the House in '
addition to the Delegate are en
titled to call themselves sour-1
doughs. They are Representative!
John H. Hoeppel of California and
Representative Finlay Hamilton
of Kentucky. The former was
once with the Signal Corps and at
one time was stationed at Sitka,
llis secretary, Ike Blade, also serv
ed with the Signal Corps In Alas
ka. Representative Finlay Ham
ilton of Kentucky was In Nome in
tbe dayis of the gold rush.

Preparing to serve his last year
< n the Navy boxing team. Mid
shipman Henry L. Miller W Alas
ka was stricken shortly after the
Christmas holidays with influenza
which turned into bronchial pneu
monia. He is rapidly recovering
now in the naval academy hospit
al at Anpapotts but his doctor
lies told him he must not box
again this year. Henry, a veteran
of the Annapolis squad, was ex
pected to make a strong bid tbis
year for the intercollegiate title
In his wefekt class.
The sunny shores of Cuba do
not have any appeal for Lieuten
ant Thomas H. Tonseth, Alaskan
graduate of the naval academy. As
signed to duty in Washington
early last summer, he took up res
idenee with Mrs. Tonseth and
their small son. But at the out
break of trouble in Cuba he was
placed on active duty and has
bpen there ever since. Unless the
recent recognition of the Cuban
government changes the picture
Lieutenant Tonseth *will remain
on duty there until next June.
Delegate D'mond will be a cand
idute to succeed himself as, Alas
ka’s representative in Alaska.
His declaration of candidacy
has been sent to Auditor Prank
A. Boyle of Juneau. That aet’on
will have the effect of placing Mr.
Dimond's name on the Democratic
ballot for the primaiy to be held
i he last Tuesday In April.
Whether or not h«? has opposi
tion in the primary, the Delegate
will not, of course, leave Wash
ington to campaign at that time.
Even if others seek the nomina
tion Mr. DJmond does not believe
he would be ju stiff eff is leaving
the capital while Congress is in
session.

Scarcely a week passes that
some onetime Alaskan who now
lives in or about Washington does
not come to the Delegate’s offitgi
to inquire about the country in
which they used to make their
homes. Three such called ’his
week. One of them, G. H. De
Pue, traveled in Alaska for the
Schwabacherg for 12 years and
lias been in practically every
camp from the southern boundary
to Point Barrow. He and Mrs.
De Pue are now conducting a
rooming house here. P. 3.’ Mc
Parllne, who was in Dawson in
the boom days and later operated
a storage warehouse at Fairbanks,
is managing a Washington shoe
store. Frank Doverspike, who
was in Dawson, Nome, Fairbanks,
the Iditarod, Juneau and Hyder
came down from New York dur
ing the week.
Washngton, Feb. 9 — First of
Delegate Dimond’a bills to pass
the House at this session were
those conveying public buildings
and ground at Nome and Sitka to
the municipality of Nome and to
the Territory respectively. They
go now to Seattle, where speedy
action la looked for.

The latest report of the Federal
Rad o Commission shows that
Alaska is 20 per cent oveT its
Quota assignment of broadcasting
facilities. Three recent' licenses
have been grafted in Alaska, two
being for the Northern Commerc
ial Company at Fort Yukon and
C'rcle and the third for Arthur
M. Chamberlain at Deering.
Washington. Feb. 19 — As the
first year of the New Deal draws
near its close the occasion is ap
propriate for summing up the eff
ects of its extension to Alaska.
It is not pretended here that
one who has been absent from the
Territory nearly a year, as the
present writer has ben, can speak
with the authorily which contin
uous residence gives, but on the
other hand, the Washington ob
server has access to facts and fi
gnres and implications of future
trends den’ed those far from the
seat of the national capital. And
as vras aptly remarked recently,
Washington has agaip become the
national capital for the first time
since the end of the World, War.
The Roosevelt. • Administration
seeks not only to bring an end to
the buslpess depression bat to
[cure the cause of depression by
Iwide-epread changes in the body
[social. To date the 1st part of that
|nrogram has been chiefly felt in
(Alaska. Thai the social aspects
[of the policy will be drected
(northward in time is inevitable.
(Even now the blue eagle Is hov
jering over the landing, to bring
[for the industries of the Territory
(better opportunity for permanent
well-being and to give workers
the same ' benefits. Similarly,
[other agencies calculated »j alter
[the manner of living under which
America as a nation has fo ted to
[find an even economic lev* I will
(not be denied entrance to the
Territory. It is the estimate,
[however, that the need for these
agencies being markedly less in
(Alaska in its status of a compar
(.a’ivelv ii-*w country from the
jviewpoinis of ^mecJcau settlement
and economic development, they
will make ther influence felt
in nowhere the same degree as
the hard-pressed industrial and ag
raagian sections of continental
! United States. It would seem,
then, that their penetration into
Alaska will come much more
slowly and for that reason ad
justment will be, in- many cases,
l»ada easier.
Once more Delegat^Dlmond has
trgued for transportation of mail
in Alaska by air. After speaking
before, the House sad Senate ap
propriation committee on the sub
ject, be testified last week before
the House post office committee
SUd made a vigorous argument
in an effort to secnre additional
money so that contracts may be
given to aviation concerns and
Alaskans will not have to wait
weeks or months for delivery of
their mail as was the case in the
past.
