J working program on the lower
'end of the Richardson Highway
is decreasing in volume from
year to year as the improve
ments are completed and the
road approaches a strictly main
tenance status, and this inevit
ably means a reduction in our
working force.”

ing the name of each employee,

EXTENSION OF NATIONAL
PARKS
-x
Tlie evident intention of the
National Park Service to give
encouragement to the proposi
tion of establishing a modern
hotel in McKinley National Parx
has given rise to the fear on the
part of those people residing
within a few miles of the park
that the paik may be enlarged
and extended farther north, *o
as to include many who would
be subject to Bureau regulations.
But the Service in Washington
knows of no such intention. Di
rector Horace M. Albright has
not yet returned from his re
cent visit to Alaska, where he
had to be treated at the hospital
for appendicitis, and who may
have some important announce
ments to make concerning the
future glory of the Park.
TANANA CROSSING POST
OFFICE
-x
The Post Office Department
has ordered the establishment
of an office at St. Timothy,
more particularly designated as
Tanana Crossing, with E. A. Mc
Intosh as postmaster. A petition
for the establishing of a postof
fice at Galena, halfway between
Ruby and Nulato, is now being
considered by the Department.

ALASKA LEGENDS
-x
The Department of the Inter
ior has had printed and is now
circulating a very attractive
leaflet with the Alaska flag
printed in blue with gold stars
and a description of the design.
It also contains an illustration
of totems, with a “Story of the
Chief’s Daughter,” and “Story of
the Raven.”

PAINTERS’ PAY IN JUNEAU
Assistant Secietary of the
Treasury Ferry K. Heath has ad
dressed a letter to the Delegate
stating that the complaint of
the painters of Juneau that the
contractors for the interior paint
ing of the new Federal and Ter
ritorial Capitol building were
not paying prevailing wages,
iad been investigated. The con
tractors contend that they are
paying painters from seven ,c
•n dollars and that local wag
es are from nve to eight, and
that they are not employing any
helpers. They further state
that they are paying laborers
to move furniture and clean up
the building at a rate of three
dollars per day while the cus
todian at the building pays but
three dollars and thirty-three
cents for the same type of help.
The Custodian of the building
confirms the statement of the
contractors as to the wages paid
painters but adds that laborers
receive $4.25 and up. As a con
sequence, Mr. Heath feels that
the painters are being fairly
treated but has directed the con
struction engineer to take the
matter up with the contractors
and insist that laborers be paid
the prevailing wage.

FRIEND OF ALASKA DIES
-x
The recent death of former
Congressman Judge William C.
Houston of Tennessee, has caus
ed much sincere regret among
his old colleagues at the Nation
al Capital. His memory will al
ways be held in the highest re
gard by Alaskans who know of
his unfailing support of all mea
sures that had to do for the ben
efit of the Territory. He was in
Congress from 1907 until 1921,
and was always a strong sup
porter for such measures as civil
government for Alaska, the Alas
ka Railroad, the establishment
of the Agricultural College and
School of Mines, etc.

O’MALLEY WORKING ON FISH
STATISTICS
Commissioner of Fisheries
Henry O’Malley has returned
from Alaska to resume his offi
cial duties at his headquarters
in Washington. At present he is
busily engaged with the budget
bureau and has not yet had time
to confer with Delegate Wicker
sham on the suggested regula
tion to open the mouth of the
[Yukon River for limited com- |
mercial fishing, which idea has
been vigorously opposed by those
residents of the Interior who live
along the river.

OFFICIAL VISITORS LIKED
ALASKA
-X
The Washington Star the oth
er evening had the following to
say about some of the recent vis- 1
itors to Alaska: Eight Govern
ment officials, including two
United States Senators (Walcott 1
of Connecticutt and Norbeck of
South Dakota) and one member
cf the House, Representative '
Carter of California, are bub
bling with enthusiasm over the
summer farthest North. The
others were Henry O’Malley, com
missionef of Fisheries; Assistant
Attorney Generals Charles P.
Sisson and Charles B. Rugg;
Paul Redington, Chief of the Bi
ological Survey, and Carl Shoe
maker, secretary of the Senate
Committee on Wild Life Re
sources. The party left Seattle
on June 28 on Commissioner
O’Malley’s inspection ship, U. S.
S. Penguin. Putting in at Met
lakatla, Alaska, the wayfarers
proceeded in turn to Ketchikan, ,
Anan Creek, Juneau, Western
Alaska, Bristol Bay, the Pribilof 1
Islands, Walrus Island, Unalas
ka, Kenai Peninsula and McKin- •
ley Park. At Anan Creek they
saw something to make a fisher
man’s mouth water—one of the
many “counting weirs” which
the Bureau of Fisheries main
tains in Alaska and under the
White Law, providing that there
shall be a 50 per cent escape
men to spawning beds. Some
350,000 fish were disporting
themselves in the first iy2 miles
of river at the time. At the Pri
bilof Islands, the Washingtoni
ans gazed upon a herd of a mil
lion seals. Senators Walcott and
Norbeck went to Alaska to brush
up on wild life resources. Messrs. |
Sisson and Rugg wanted to \
survey Department of Justice <
activities in the Territory.” /
