MEET OF PACIFIC INTERN AT’L *
HIGHWAY COMMISSION
At the Interior Department it ]
is stated that Ernest Walker ]
Sawyer will attend a meeting at j
Victoria on October 10, of the j
Canadian and American repre- ]
rentatives 6f the Pacific High- <
way Commission. At that time ]
reports of engineering parties ,
will be submitted and studied, \
with the idea of deciding on a j
definite route for the new pro
ject which will connect the ;
States with Fairbanks, by way
of Dawson, Yukon Territory. At
present the northern end of the <
British Columbia highways sys- ;
tom is at Hazelton. From there ;
’o Fairbanks, a road 1,000 miles
long will be built at an esti- •
mated cost of $10,000,000. Of the i
unfinished part, 500 miles are in (
British Columbia,, 300 in Yukon |
Territory and 200 in Alaska. At :
Fairbanks, the new road will |
connect up with 2,000 miles of (
good roads already in Alaska. As i
a representative of the Interior
Department, Mr. Sawyer is giv- :
ing particular study to the prob
lem of getting rid of the annual
ceficits of the government-own
ed railroad in Alaska, thru the
building up of more traffic by
the development of the natural
resources of the Territory. At a
meeting of the Pacific Foreign
Trade Council Convention, held
at Oakland on September 17th,
he delivered a very illuminating
and interesting address on the
untold mineral resources of Alas
ka and the exceptional charm of
its scenic attractions.

JOHN BARRYMORE
1 John Barrymore, who cruised

i;> an outstanding figure in the
American theatre, is the latest
star to advise the District of Co
lumbia Bicentennial Commission

in the George Washington play
to be performed in honor of the
first President, on the Monument
grounds next June, 22 and 25.

DR. BORLAND RETURNS
——x
Dr. W. A. Borland, known in
Juneau and other parts of Alas
ka as a mighty hunter of no fear
of the brown bear, as an angler
for the largest piscatorial speci
mens of the north Pacific, as a
fearless air passenger, and as a
careful driver of a large auto,
spent ten days in Washington,
limping about because of a re
cent accident in the north while
driving his dog team. But early
one evening he met a stinging
defeat while attempting to cross
Pennsylvania Avenue. A care
less driver of one of the renown
ed little bugs ran him down,
dragged him along a few feet,
left him bruisedly stunned, and
with a merry ha, ha, speeded
away. The Doctor was picked
up by a taxi driver and taken to
his hotel, satisfied that the big
city had no regard for a village
physician. After consultation
with Commissioner of Indian Af
fairs Charles J. Rhodes and Dr.
M. C. Guthrie, Chief of the Me
dical Division, Dr. Borland in
duced them to order him to re
turn to his official duties at Ka
nakanak, where he is physician
in charge at the hospital, and to
which place he is now gratefully
speeding.

KETCHIKAN VISITORS
-x
Mrs. M. O. Carter and daughter
of Ketchikan, drove an auto
from Seattle and reached Wash
ington last week, stopping in
Nebraska to allow the former’s
sister to join them. The daught
er has been placed in the Mar
jory Webster School at Rock
Creek Park and Mrs. Carter will
be joined in a few days by her
husband, who is president of the
. citizens’ light, Power and Water
3
Do., at Ketchikan, who is to
nake a btr'nesr, trip to New
fork and Boston before they re -
turn to the West and North.

TRAVEL PAY TRIMMED
-x
The Department of Justice hasi
innounced that effective Octo-j
3er 1st, the travel allowance of
ts employees will be trimmed a
iollar a day. The per diem al
owance in lieu of subsistence
row fixed at $6 is reduced to $5,
ind the limitation on actual ex
Denses of subsistence at $7 a day
s reduced to $6 a day. This or
ler will effect all officers and em •• j
ployees of the Department, in- j
iluding Alaska, and will result in ■
the saving of about $1,000 a day
in the expenditures.

NO CHANGE OF DUCK SEASON
Two weeks ago, Delegate Wiok
ersham again took up with the
President the matter of chang
ing the season for shooting wa
ter fowl from September to Oc
tober in Alaska. President Hoov-!
er referred the question to Se-j
:retary of Agriculture and on Auj
gust 26th a letter from that of
ficial was received by the Dele
gate, in which the request was
denied. Among other things the
Secretary said: “In prescribing
the month of September for the
bunting of waterfowl in Alaska,
we were convinced that this pe
riod would give the sportsmen
throughout the Territory shoot
ing opportunities comparable
with those in the Northwestern
States. We regret, therefore,
that we cannot accede to the re
quests of your constituents for a
later open season. The Depart
ment does not contemplate mak
ing further changes in the sea
sons this year.”
ALASKA GAME REGULATIONS
-x
Frequent complaints have been
received by Delegate Wicker
sham that the present game re
gulations of the Alaska Game
Commission are working a hard
ship on many Alaskans, includ
ing trappers, traders and pros
pectors. A recent petition has
been received from the Fourtn
Division, with 326 signatures ol
residents from Tacotna, McGrath
Beetles, Alatna, Tanana, 7<ok
rines Flat, Shageluk, Healy, Fork,
Anchorage, Hurricane, Rampart
Pv.hy, Tolovana and a few scat
tr’ing locations, praying fo^ the
repeal of the present law and
the enactment of Congressional
legislation that would protect
the game and fur-bearing anim
als and which would meet with
the approbation of the people oi
the Territory. A letter received
in connection with the petition
complains that the most “obnox -
ious” part of the present regula
tions is the personal sealing
clause, as in many cases the ex
pense of sealing costs more than
the value of the catch. The De
legate has taken these matters
up with the various Departments
and Committees interested and
hopes to secure satisfactory
changes in the present laws and
regulations.
-x
POSTOFFICE BUT NO MAIL
--x- '
A most unusual situation in the
postal service exists at Kantish
na. An office was established
there four years ago; Chas. A
Trundy was appointed postmas
ter and has continued to pay the
annual premium on his bond
but the office continues without
mail service. It is expected that
the Department will soon remedy
the deficiency.
-x
SEWARD FISH PROTECTION
-x
The City of Seward has been
seeking additional protection for
the salmon of Resurrection Bay
waters, and after investigation
Commissioner of Fisheries Henry
O’Malley has promised some re
lief. When the new regulations
are effective on January 1st
next, it is expected that the pre
sent regulation prohibiting com
mercial Ashing for salmon at all
times within 1,000 yards of the
mouths of Bear Creek and Re
surrection River, and within 1700
yards of the mouths of these
streams in the period from June
7 to August 25, will be modiAed
to read substantially as follows:
“Commercial Ashing for salmon
is prohibited at all times in all
waters north, of a true east and
west line crossing the head of
Resurrection Bay from the mouth
of Lowell Creek to the opposite
shore at 60 degrees 6 minutes 9
seconds north latitude.” Due to
the depths of water, this pro
posed new regulation, Mr. O’Mal
ley states, would practically pre
vent the use of anchored gillnets
and would compell the commer-j
cial Ashermen to drift their nets,!
thus giving the salmon a better
opportunity to enter the spawn- j
ing streams.

PAY FOR FOXES

Last spring, Mrs. Nellie Yager *:
Lamson suffered the loss of same j
of her foxes, at Lower Tonsina, j
due to blasting by a crew of the
Alaska Road Commission. The *j
matter has been looked into by J
Major Malcolm Elliott, who has ;<
recommended to the War De
partment that Mrs. Lamson be !|
reimbursed to the amount of her .j
claim, which is for $325.
A COTTAGE BUT NO BRIDE <
-X- - •
Adolph Stock, who has been in ;
Fairbanks for the past four years *
and who has been in the United
States for nine years, has a cot- i
trge prepared for the reception «
of his future wife who is ready to *
come from Germany so soon as >
she can secure the necessary <
passport. But Adolph was in- >
formed that this could not be se-Jj
cured for a couple of years and j ■
has appealed to the Delegate to.j
'■id him in his dire distress. Mar- j<
ters are being straightened out j
and it is expected that Miss Mary ;
Guth will come to America and I
Alaska in the course of a couple ;
of months, in company of
Adolph’s sister, Mrs. Carl Brand
stetter, who has been a resident
of Fairbanks for 22 years but
who is now visiting in Germany.
