BALLAINE VISITS INTERIOR
TO BOOST CUMMINS BILL
John E. Ballaine, pioneer resident
of Seward and prominent Alaska
operator, arrived in Nenana from
the coast yesterday, by way of
Broad Pass, and addressed a meet
ing of citizens last night relative
to Alaska legislation now pending
before Congress. He explained that
he had returned to Alaska from
Washington for the express purpose
of gathering data for presentation
at the hearings to be held shortly
on the so-called Cummins bill, which
provides for the establishment of a
line of Government ships to con
nect with the Government railroad,
and gives to the President direct
supervision over Alaskan affairs,
with power to inaugurate reforms
intended to speed the development
of the resources of the territory.
The bill has already been introduc
ed and the hearings in committee
will start as soon as Mr. Ballaine
returns to Washington.
Mr. Ballaine explained that he
had made the trip to Alaska merely
as an Alaskan interested in the de
velopment of the territory and in
the enactment of legislation that
make development possible. He said
he believed the Cummins bill would
do that and that its passage can be
secured easily if Alaskans will get
behind the measure and boost for
it.
Mr. Baliaine said that he wanted
data showing1 what amount of ton
nage might be expected for the
Government railroad in the event
of the establishment of a line of
Government ships and a materia!
lowering of freight rates. He wants
to be able to show the committee,
upon his return to Washington,
that the adoption of a liberal fed
eral policy will stimulate mining,
increase interest in farming, build
up new industries and attract new
people to the territory. He thinks
’t will be possible, with the proper
data and the backing of the ad
ministration to induce Congress to
pass the Cummins bill and to make
liberal provision for inaugurating a
real development program. There
will be opposition, he says, some of
it having developed already, but
the fact that the President is be
hind the bill, he believes, will car
ry sufficient weight to put the
legislation across.
Mr. Baliaine asked those present
to assist him to prepare the desired
data, showing present costs of
landing supplies in Interior Alaska,
probable tonnage that would result
from a substantial reduction in
rates and such other information
as will tend to show that develop
ment will follow the adoption of a
liberal policy toward Alaska.
Mr. Ballaine went to Fairbanks
this afternoon to interest the people
of that district in the pending legis
lation. and will return to Xenana
during the week, enroute back to
the coast and to Washington.
DARING NAVIGATOR PLANS
VOYAGE TO SOUTH SEAS
LOS ANGELES, July 16—Harry
Pidgeon, who single-handed sailed a
34-foot yawl from Los Angeles
harbor to Honolulu and back last
summer, is preparing his craft for
a voyage to the South Sea Islands.
3,000 miles southwest of here. He
plans to set sail within the next
month or so.
Pidgeon is an amateur mariner
Without previous experience, he put
his boat together. He got his plan
from the 25-foot yawl “Seabird”
in which Thomas Fleming Day made
a trip across the Atlantic 12 years
ago. but made his own boat nine
feet longer.
When he had finished his ship
building last summer, he obtained a
sextant and picked up a little navi
gation Then he set sail alone and
made Honolulu in 26 days after a
fairly rough trip. He also sailed the
boat home, but took a shipmate
along to give him a better oppor
tunity to sleep.
Pidgeon plans to take supplies
and water sufficient for two or three
months, to carry him through the
doldrums in the South Pacific. A
sea anchor will furnish a valuable
part of his equipment for use in
heavy weather and when he sleeps.
Peter Jensen, an oldtimer of the
Ruby district, arrived in town on
the steamer Tanana and want to
Fairbanks today.
Forest fires along the railroad be
tween North Xanana and Fairbanks

mission for a time this week.

Deputy Marsha] Frank Miller, of |
the Tolovana district, who arrived
from Fairbanks yesterday, reports
that low water in the Tolovana

of water throughout the district is
also acpte and mining operations
are at a standstill in consequence.
Mr. Miller returned to Fairbanks1
today and will make his way back to
