STRESSING ALASKA'S
NEEDS.
Need of transportation, es
pecially roads through which
the rich resources of the Ter
ritory can be developcd.again
is stressed by men in position
to know. Delegate Dimond in
urging the Federal Govern
ment to give greater recogni
tion to the needs of Alaska
said, in a recent report:
“If the Federal government
hopes to increase the popula
tion of the Territory through
use of public funds for colon
ization and make it one of the
outposts of defense in case of
war, it should be making
plans for development of
roads and highways to con
nect the present population
centers and provide others in
to the rich mining and timber
areas.”
Fish Commissioner Frank
T. Bell, in discussing Alaska
on his return to the national
capital, had this to say:
“Given proper roads to its
mining and agricultural areas
Alaska could be developed in
ten years sufficiently to sup
port twice or three times its
present population. If the
necessary roads are built to
mining fields, in all probabil
ity the intervening country
will be settled by prospec
tors, farmers and trappers.”
At the same time the De
partment of Interior in citing
the report of the American
Canadian joint committee
named to study the feasibil
ity of the International High
way, points out that building
of the road in the Yukon Ter
ritory would not be difficult
nor expensive, and goes on to
say the highway could be kept
open the year around for com
mercial hauling and will be
attractive to tourists for at
least seven months of the
year.
It will cost money to bring
about these universally recog
nized improvements in Alas
ka, but the Territory has paid
back many times on the orig
inal investment, and, it will
again if it can only be given
help in tapping its now inac
cessible resources.— Juneau

Many a driver has felt like
the chap, who, on coming
back from a drive, inserted
an ad in the paper that the
newness had worn off his car
and that in the future he
would stand his ground with
road hogs and smash into
them if necessary to maintain
his place on the highway.—

Neither is he looking with
apathy toward the 1935 sen

by the blind spellbinder T. P.
Gore.
The inherent suspicion with
which Murray as governor
greeted all comers is gone.
Murray has “gone neighbor
ly”. He greets his neighbors
in a warm-hearted fashion;
handshakes, talks “curbstone
politics”, visits, and expounds
his views.
All the time he is sounding
public sentiment.
Sometimes, Murray’s neigh
bors don’t know how to take
him.
“Repairing your fences?” a
neighbor asked him as Murr
ay hauled away at a strand of
wire.
The fiery old statesman was
quick to respond.
“Now, that’s a useless ques
tion. You can see for your
self. How’s your cotton com

Mrs. Murray, a son and a
daughter are on the farm.
“Alfalfa Bill’ plans to r :se
enough fruit and vegetables
to provide a living. His in
come will be derived from
sales of horses, cattle, hogs
and mules. Crop farming does
n’t pay, he believes.
But he is here to demon
strate that a man can make
a living on a small farm with
out government help. He des
pises the New Deal, says il
is undermining states’ rights,
is unconstitutional, the idea of j
impractical dreamers.”
Murray is superintending
“improving my farm”. Every
task, no matter how small is
completed to his exact satis
faction by his four negro and
three white laborers.
NOTICE
I desire to advise the public
that I will be leaving Nome,

desirous of completing all un
finished business as quickly
