THE PRESIDENT’S VISIT
The present indications are that
President Harding and several mem
bers of his cabinet will visit Alaska
in July, and that their stay in the
Territory will be more prolonged
than at first anticipated. It is evi
dently the intention of Mr. Harding
and those who accompany him says
the Valdez Miner, to make a study
of Alaska’s needs that they may in
telligently direct legislation believed
necessary for the development of
the Northland.
Naturally there will be many peo
ple ready and willing to advance in
formation, which, of course will be
the individual views of the parties,
and herein lies the very difficulty
which has long been dentimentai
to the Territory. The views present
ed will be as diverse as the num
ber of individuals presenting them,
and can only lead to confusion. To
avoid this it is essential that the
information given the 'President be
the views of the majority ar.d this
can only be done by representative
bodies from the different sections
of the Territory getting together
and first settling among themselves
what legislation will produce the
best results for the entire Terri
tory, The views and recommenda
tions of individuals through will
not bring the desired result out of
the different sections.
A proposition to form an all-Alas
ka Chamber of Commerce has been
advanced, and has mere with but
little encouragement, but it is only
through some such organization that
we may expect results. Recommen
dations coming from such a body
would have great weight in that it
would represent the sentiment of
the majority of Alaskans all over
the Territory.
The time is short until the Presi
dent is due to arrive here, yet with
dilligence much can be accomplish
ed even ir, the short time that re
mains. It is time to get busy if we
want the visit of die President of
the Nation to mean anything more
than an advertisement of the Terri
tory as a tourist resort.
Robert Scott, for many years dry
goods salesman and broker in Alas
ka with headquarters in Juneau, has
sold his stock, closed out his bus
iness and will leave with his wife
and young son on their Admiral
Rogers on her next southbound trip
for California, where they will make
their future home. Mr. Scott has
not been in good health lately..

TRANSFERRING CONNECTIONS

ployed by the Admiral Line for the
past year in the Juneau office as as
sistant to Agent J. H. Kline, has

ALASKA ROAD COMMISSION
CENTERING AT ANCHORAGE
Removal of the executive and
administration office of the Alaskan
Road Commission to Anchorage was
announced by Col. J. C. Gotwals
on the occasion of his recent visit at
Juneau. The transfer is to be made
about the middle of June. The move
involves three of the six members
of the clerical force in Commisssion
offices at Juneau.
The fiscal offices of the Commis
sion its headquarters for work in
Southeastern Alaska and headquart
ers of the Rivers and Harbors dis
trict will remain in Juneau per
manently and the offices in which
the Commission is located v ill be
maintained, said Col Gotwals. The
removal of executive and adminis
trative records and files he. added
is made necessary by the increased
duties of the members of the Com
mission in connection with the Al
aska Railroad which, demand a large
part of their time, en that enter
prize.
Col. Gotwals will make his head
quarters at Anchorage, says the
Juneau Empire. His duties in the
field are so pressing- that it has been
found impossible to continue head
quarters here. Col. Steese, he said
will divide his time betvrween An
chorage and Juneau, probably spend
ing as much time here in the future
as he has been able to do in the
past.
O. A. Hall, bridge engineer for
the Alaska Road Commission, has
already been transferred to An
chorage, The members of the cler
ical force to be transferred will
leave within three weeks. Those to
be moved were not named.
Col. Gotwals returned to the
Westward on the steamer Alameda
and will meet the Congressional
delegation at Seward and conduct
it over the Alaska Railroad. He
does not expect to be able to return
to Juneau again this summer.
Rev. R. S. Nickerson, pastor of
the Cordova Presbyterian Church,
recently received a wire from the
Home Eoard. transferring him to
Wales. Alaska, a mission about 160
miles northwest of Nome, where
there is an Eskimo village of about
200 inhabitants and a church with
65 members. Rev. Nickerson w ill
leave Cordova shortly for San Fran
cisco, where his -wife is taking a
course in a hospital, to be of sen-ice
in his new mission work. From
there he will go to Spokane to at
tend a meeting of the Synod. Rev.
and Mrs. Nickerson will leave Se
attle for Wales the latter part of
July.
Charles E. Ruthenberg. of Cleve
land, leader of the Communist party
of America, who was recently found
guilty of violating the crimnal syn
dicalism law, and is now facing a
prison sentence of ten years, or a
fine of five thousand dollars or both,
was a former resident of Nome, in
the early days of that camp but he
“got that way” since going outside.
Rex Beach, the widely known and
successful author and short story
writer, who was a pioneer of the
Yukon and Nome, and Mrs. Beach
are now living in a beautiful home
at Dobbs* Ferry, New York State.
JUNEAU IS MAKING PLANS
TO ENTERTAIN PRESIDENT

cording to telegrams from Washing
ton, that President Harding will
leave Seartle for Alaska on the

ing will intervene to alter the plans
of the chief executive of the nation
says the Empire, Juneau is taking
steps to receive him and his party
in a suitable manner and ito that
end Mayor Isadore Goldstein has
named two committees, one from
the ranks of citizens, the other from
members of the city council, to co
operate with Governor Bone and
himself in properly welcoming our j
