The key is made of solid gold
from Alaska and is mounted on
a base of Alaska marble and is
set with 22 gold nuggets, said to
be from the first cleanup of Geo
rge Carmack when he made his
discovery of the Klondike. It
was first used by President Taft
to signal the opening of the Al
aska-Yukon Exposition in Seattle
in 1909. Even in view of the
many historic occasions in which
this key made with gold from
both Alaska and Canada has fun
ctioned, the most of all will pro
bably be its use in the opening
of the International Highway that
will eventually connect Alaska
through Canada with the United
States.
Recognizing the need of secur
ing early action on the bill in
troduced by the Delegate to auth
orize a preliminary survey and
examination of the Skagway riv
er with a view to the control of
its floods, it has received a fav
orable report from the Secretary
of War and has also been fav
orably reported by the committ
ee on Flood Control of the House.
To further expedite action on
the bill the Delegate arranged
for its introduction in the sen
ate on February 11 through the
courtesy of Senator Bachman of
Tennessee.
Three private bills were intro
duced in the House during the
past week by Delegate Dimond.
One of these was to authorize
the reimbursement of $104 of
Government funds to Hugh O’
Farrell, which were destroyed
while in the Federal safe in the
United State’s Marshal’s office
at Nome by the fire in 1934.
• Another was to authorize pay
ment of $300 to the heirs of Ed
ward Mather, deceased, formerly
of Ketchikan, for his services as
native policeman at Douglas Al
aska, under appointment of for
mer Governor Knapp.
