able ration to the cost of
the program which would
indicate that the Govern
ment’s investment might
be more profitably spent in
other relief work that is
more directly productive
and involving less risk.
Prospecting in Alaska has
already increased due to
the depression, and it is ex
pected that further devel
opments along this line will
continue throughout the
period of general unemploy
ment without unusual stim
ulation by the Government.
An army of 20,000 men
such *as proposed, which
would be two-thirds of the
present white population of
the Territory, would pro
bably unsettle normal dev
elopments and conditions to
the extent of bringing an
aftermath of disorganiza
tion, social and economic,
tha" would be difficult to
overcome at the conclusion
of the experiment. Since
the regions where they
!
would be placed has an op
; en season of only a few
i months with temperatures
as low as 40 to 60 degrees
below zero during the win
der season, the personnel
would have to be recruited
from men innured to hard
ship and experienced in
pioneer life, which would
limit the field of selection.
After ail reasonable care
and foresight has been ex
ercised, however, I fear
there would be many indiv
idual tragedies, for winter
in interior Alaska is not a
thing to be easily faced by
large groups of inexperienc!
ed men.
I believe Alaska snould
share in the Federal re
1 iel programs, and the ob-i
jections which I have point
cd out would apply more
especially to a very large
group of prospectors, but
would not be so important
if a small group of careful
ly selected men, say not to
exceed 1,000 were recruit
ed and trained by the Geo
logical Survey, accordingly,
to prepare a modified pro
gram along this line so that
if the opportunity is pre-i
sented it may be included
in appropriate legislation.

Peyton Jay Goss, 75, fath
er of G. V. Goss, of Juneau
passed away in Seattle re
cently.
Walter Kubon, who re
cently returned to Fair
banks from Nome, says the
northern town is quiet and
little is doing. As Fair
banks always boasts about
it being the farthest north
town in Alaska we were in
doubt which place he real
ly meant.
Two work boats from the
aircraft carrier Ranger do'
ing scouting duty, were
stranded by the tide at Ho-:
mer, Alaska, and the offic
ers and crew had to spend
the night with Charlie Mil

The next day the Ranger
officers reciprocated the A1
askan hospitality of the
sourdough, by sending him
a turkey, candy, fruit, and
a photo of the Ranger, and
a letter from Captain Art
Bristol, thanking Miller for
his hospitality.
