that there is to be no announce
ment of queen contest rules, prior
to the fair, in respect to actual
method of choosing the queen.
The rules will be sealed in an
envelop, to be opened by judges
the night of the contest.
Board members fixed June 12

to be sufficient proof.

princesses alike, will be guests of
honor at all fair functions and
will participate in all special

building, had found the $150
monthly rental tag too high. The
Matanuska Flectrie Association
asked for a rental figure on the

mayors of all incorporated cities
in this division, to all successful
candidates for office in the terri
tory, and to civic clubs and or
ganizations in unincorporated
communities):
“The community of Palmer is
shocked to learn that during your
absence the board of administra
tion, of which you are chairman,
has unfrozen moneys to satisfy
an appropriation for a new terri
torial building, although the
monies are badly needed for edu
cational purposes of an emer
gency measure.
“Your frequently expressed in
tention to leave this, and other
unnecessary funds, frozen during
the territory’s financial plight, is
convincing of the fact that the
board acted without your pres
ence.
“The people are further dis
mayed to learn that the board has
directed the new capitol building,
as it is designated in southeast
ern papers, to be built in Juneau.
Such action is widely known to
be directly contrary to the wishes
of the legislature and contrary to
the expressed wishes of an over
whelming majority of the people.
The bill passed the legislature
and was accompanied by an un
qualified directive of the house
that the building be built north
of the Gulf of Alaska. Such ac
tion was, of course, not a part of
the act for the reason that it was
intended to reserve some discre
tion to the board, but it constitut
ed a mandate as to general area.
barn, to be used as storage. Board
members voted to rent that one
building for $30 a month.

Yes, the v.-eather was warm in
Palmer this week, weather wom
an Mrs. Oscar Beylund confirmed
today. Monday’s high was an all
season high of 61°, but Tuesday’s
and Wednesday’s high was higher
at 65°.
Regarding precipitation — well,
that’s another matter. Mrs. Bey
lund could find only “traces” r'
precipitation on three separa.
days in May, thus far. Her rec
ords for comparison with other
years were not available, but Mrs.
Beylund was “pretty sure this is
about the driest spring we’ve ever
had.”
“For the board to ignore this
mandate of the people and arbi
trarily select Juneau without any
apparent public justification is an
unforgivable breach of the trust
placed in the board by one entire
body of our legislature.
“Unexplainable extravagance
also is seen in the unauthorized
spending of over $60,000 in tax
payers’ money, including citizens
of Palmer, for land acquisition,
particularly in the face of written
offers of free land from Palmer
and other deserving cities north
of the Gulf.
“All these matters are well
known to the board members and
may be reviewed on inspecting
the record. Protests against this
action and communications favor
ing Palmer are on file from our
neighboring city, Anchorage, as
well as all cities in this Division
and major cities in the Fourth
and Second Division, including
some in Southeastern itself.
“We beg of you to call these
protests to the attention of the*
board with your published recom
mendation that a site be selected
north of the Gulf of Alaska, or
in the preferred alternative, that
the matter be at least held in
abeyance until the people shall
have had an opportunity to vote
on the question, as is the followed
democratic practice.
“With statehood seen in the
near future, the people are en
titled to decide the seat of gov
ernment of the new state. Large
expenditures for permanent ac
commodation of Alaska’s officials,
decided by a small clique prej
udiced in favor of a certain lo- m
cality for undisclosed reasons, is
illegal and undemocratic.
“It may be stated to the board,
in support of your demand, that
the people of Palmer will find it
necessary immediately to call
upon the other cities that have
announced the same sentiment, to
assist in preventing this miscar
riage of public trust, by court ac
tion and all other means.
“Thanking you for your collect
reply to this message, and thank
ing you for your assistance in this
present matter, we remain, re
spectfully,
Valley Chamber of Commerce.”
