— DELEGATE ILL
All Alaska heard recently, the news that Delegate Anth
ony J. Dimond was critically^ill at Washington following an
operation.
Every loyal Alaskan will hope the delegate makes a
winning fight to quick recovery. His illness at this particu
lar juncture is especially unfortunate.
Many Alaskan affairs are now in need of being press
ed with all vigor at Washington. Many proposals of great
moment to Alaska are in the formative stage in the councils |
of the Federal Government, and many other matters of much
concern to every individual of the territory are to come be
fore the new congress, which will convene the first of Jan
uary.
Delegate Dimond recently went to great expense of time.
and money and devoted many valuable days in touring the
entire territory getting thoroughly acquainted with the im
mediate needs of the territory, studying major issues for the
furtherance of Alaska affairs. His accumulated knowledge asj
a resident of many years, supplemented with the data and,
the better understanding he acquired on the recent trip!
gave him a most comprehensive and detailed knowledge of
the wants of the people. No other man has so thoroughly!
toured the territory in the public interest of late, if at any j
time. His tour involved thousands of miles of flight by plane
throughout the interior. He made a visit of approximately a
week in Anchorage and was here during the stirring days
in September when the fire devastated Nome,and he labored
indefatigably from this point with the aid of the radio in
cooperating with Gov. Troy and federal officials in work
ing out a plan for the immediate rehabilitation of the Ber
ing Sea metropolis.
All Alaska appreciates Mr. Dimond as an Alaskan, one
who has worked ably and tirelessly. He was buried in work
in Washington last year, especially with the growing import
ance and the development of new projects for the territory
and should have had more office aid. That his health would
give away many of his close friends feared. Now that he is
making the fight for his life Alaskans everywhere—both in
the interest of the territory and with personal regard and
solicitation—will hope for his speedy and permanent recov
ery.—Anchorage Times.

Notice Of Progress
After First Years
MOSCOW, USSR., Nov. 26—It is
a confident and buoyant govern
ment which is preparing to cele
brate its seventeenth birthday here.
The bolshevist leaders who will
mount Lenin’s topib that day to re
view the usual parade of soldiers,
sailors, workers and peasants, have
overcome many of the obstacles
which" the Soviet union facdcl when
it laid Lenin to rest 10 years ago.
The particular reason for rejoic
ing among the Kremlin leaders this
year is the success of the collective
farming plan. With nearly 70 per
cent of the farm camilies of the
Soviet union in collectives and with
a crop collection-this year which
I the government says is as large as
last year’s in spite of bad weather
conditions, Stalin and his associates
feel the agricultural problem is well
on its way to solution and the bat
tle with kulaks is practically at an
end.
State farms have not made a good
showing, but they are being split
up into smaller units so as to cor
rect the lack of labor which has ]
handicapped the farms run under
the direct supervision of the gov
ernment.
Siberia is the weakest spot in the'
agricultural program. That vast
territory made a poor showing in]
grain contributions, falling far short
of the plan. The government attri
butes this to inefficient party direc
tion and a general shakeup is in pro
gress in Celiabinsk and other sec
tions where the kulak influence has
not been overcome.
While light industry has made a:
rather disappointing showing so far
this year, heavy industry has al
most fulfilled its plan so -far and
special effort is being made to finish
the twelve-months with a perfect
record. Copper, lead and btass have
fallen far behind pig iron, steel and
other branches of heavy industry.
Crude oil has also lagged.
The Russian communist party ap
parently is in good condition. There
are no evidences of any quarrels
among important leaders. Rakow
sky, Kamenev and other associates
of Trotsky who confessed their er
rors, have been forgiven. Rakow
sky is now in Japan at the head of
the Russian delegation to the Inter
national Red Cross.
Furthermore they feel the exam
ple of a strong workers’ govern
ment which Moscow has given to
the masses, has stirred up opposi
tion to war which will deter imper
ialistic governments from hostile
action, i
Old Pioneer Nome
Is Called To Rest
Oscar Munson, long-time home
stead resident of Homer, and a suf
ferer from incurable cancer, answer
ed the last call Monday morning, a
sudden hemorrhage being the imm
ediate cause of death, says the Sew
ard Gateway of Nov. 15.
Born in Sweden June 4, 1885, Mr.
Munson for years followed the sea.
In Alaska fifst he settled at Nome,
where he was twice married. His
second wife passed away not more
than two months ago at Homer.
Both in Bristol Bay and on lower
Cook Inlet, Mr. Munson engaged in
fishing, but was chiefly known for
his activities as transporter, his boat
operating between Homer and Sel
dovia. In this business he had asso
ciated with him at different times
his son, Fred, now in the Cook Inlet
area, Ed. Anderson and Tom Shell
ford.
Mr. Munson was a sturdy resource
ful man, his constant sobriety and
persistent industry being marked
factors that governed his life.
He is survived by two adult child
ren, Bertha and Fred Munson, and
it is understood that younger child
ren also occupy the famaily home at
Homer. A step-daughter, Grace, the
wife of Laurence Olson, lives at Sel
dovia.
