Former Residents Send
Greetings From Soviet Land
J. D. Littlepage and Richard
Olson, former Hyder residents,
send to local friends from Mos
cow, capital of the Soviet Re
public, their greetings and best
regards, according tio a letter
received last week by the Her
ald from Harold Hjortnas, of
•Lokken, Denmark. Relative to
the long-distance greetings,
Mr. Hjortnas wrote as follows:
“I have had several letters
and a wire from Dick Olson.
He was then in Moscow but
was going back to Siberia
again. He said things were
improving fast over there, but
also that there ‘ “is plenty of
room for improvements” ’ at
that.
J. D. Littlepage, who is also
in the employ of the Soviet
government, was in Moscow at
the same time and they btoth
wanted me to give their best
legaiu.?: evci^unc in uci
and Stewart.”
Mr. Hjortnas, who was form
erly associated with Dave All
en in the Cottonwood Cafe, is
now engaged in' commercial
fishing from Danish ports, op
erating a large diesel-piowered
trawling ves el. He wrote that
the business is going good but
added, “it is certainly a dog’s
life, especially at this time of
the year, when we work from
daylight to dark, about 20
hours a day.”
He also extends regards to
all local friends.

Secretary Roper Boosts
Alaska in Radio Broadcast
One of the finest bits of pub
licity Alaska has ever received
was given recently by Secre
tary .of Commerce Daniel C.
Roper in a radio adress from
Washington following his re
turn to the capital from a visit
to the Territory.
In addition to recommending
Alaska to vacationers, Secre
tary Roper expressed the opin
ion that more and more people
with the pioneering spirit will
seek permanent homes in the
Territory.
Mr. Roper said further that
his inspection had convinced
him that there should be out
standing developments in avi
ation throughout the Territory
during the next few years and
declared that the principles
and purposes of the New Deal
have been consistently and suc
cessfully applied in the Terri
torry, citing the changes in the
fisheries regulations permitting
individual fishermen to fish in
waters formerly closed to them
as an example.
At the same time monopolis
tic advantages are being con
trolled to a considerable ex
tent through gradual reduction
of the number of traps in areas
previously closed to small fish
ermen, the secretary said.
He also expressed disfavor
toward “a continued paternal
attitude” on the part of the
federal government.
