Washington, Sept. 23. (Spec
ial correspondence)— A mas
ter code for the entire fishing
industry under NRA is now be
ing formulated here. It is not
anticipated that public hear
ings on the code will start for
two weeks. Expectations are
that separate forms of pro
posed codes will be submitted
by the large and small salmon
packers and differences be
tween them will be ironed out
in the hearings.
Wide publicity for the Pacif
ic Yukon Highway has been
obtained through the courtesy
•of the Associated Press and
Universal Service, which coop
erated with Delegate Dimond
and sent to their thousands of
members throughout the count
ry articles about the highway.
Former president Hoover
“took in” the Alaska cabin the
first day he was at the Chicago
fair. While there he talked
with ’’Slim” Williams, who
mushed a dog team from Cop
per Center to Chicago..
The controversy between the
Northland Transportation Co.
and the Alaska Steamship Co.
on the question whether the
government should lend money
to the former company for con
struction of a vessel to be used
in Alaska service was resumed
this week before the Shipping
Bureau. It will be remem
bered that the loan was provis
ionally granted and then held
up on objection of the Alaska
Steamship Company.
A battle waged by South
western Alaska for years has
finally ended in victory. It
was announced yesterday that
commencing next spring a
Coast Guard cutter will be as
signed permanently to South
western Alaska for the protect
ion of shipping in those wat
ers. Previously the cutter has
been withdrawn during the
winter months, when the wat
ers along the Alaska Peninsula
and Aleutian Islands are espec
ially boioterotv- and protection
is needed perhaps more than at
any other time.
Delegate Dimond is espec
ially pleased to have been of
assistance to the residents of
Southwestern Alaska in this
matter.
An allotment of $184,700 has
been granted by the Public
Works Administration to the
Alaska Game Commission. The
>:um, it is stated, will provide
14,539 man-days . of labor.
The major portion of the allot
ment will be used to construct
vessels for the A. G. C. One
hundred and ten thousand dol
lars is to be set aside for a
ship to be u'sed in Southwest
ern Alaska. Ten thousand
two hundred dollars is ear
marked for floats, docks and
storehouses and $21,000 for
administration buildings.
In addition the Game Com
mission is requesting $39,000
for a game restocking pro
gram. That money would
have to come from the Emer
gency Conservation Work
Board and if it is granted it is
believed that many natives will
be employed. Men placed at
work on this program will
probably enlist in the same
manner as for the Civilian Con
servation Corps.
A further sum ranging from
$5,000 to $10,000 may bo i-e
qucsted for use in connection
with the experiment with musk
oxen being conducted at the
Alaska College.

Better Stay Away
Times are hard in San Fran
cisco, on the bum in New Or
leans, rather punk in cultured
Boston, famed for cod-fish,
pork and beans; on the hog in
Kansas City, out in Denver
things are jarred, and they’re
beefing in Chicago, that the
times are mighty hard.
There’s not much doing in St.
Louis; it’s the same in Balti
more; conis don’t rattle in Se
attle as it did in days of yore;
| jobs are scarce around Atlanta
and through Texa.s things are
j still, and there’s very little do
I ing in good old Louisville.
There’s a howl from Cincin
nati, New York City, Brooklyn
I too, and in Milwaukee factory
j districts there’s no work for
men to do.
Now, in the face of all these
rumors, it is not amiss to say,
that no matter where you’re
going, you had better stay
away.— Contributed.
