G. 0. P. COMMITTEE^
HUBERT WORK SUCCEEDED BY
SOUTHERNER AS HEAD OF
NATIONAL PARTY'
WASHINGTON. Sept.. 10, (/P)—'
For the first time in 73 years of its
history the Republican Party Mon- .
day reached into the south for a
chairman of the National Commit
tee selecting Claudius H. Houston
of Tennessee to succeed Dr. Hubert
Work. The new chairman was the
choice of President Hoover.
Mr. Houston is a native of India- j
n?.. reared in Tennessee ,and nov^ a j
resident of New York City. He said j
in his speech of acceptance that I
the work of the National Commit- :
tee must be a year round task and !
not a mere spasmodic campaign j
effort.
The new executive said he was
severing all connection with firms
with which he now holds executive
posts in order to devote full time ;
to the work of the committee and
he intends to move to Washington
to take up the affairs of the Party <
a? soon as possible.
Ralph Williams, first vice-chair- j
man, will take charge of national
headquarters as acting chairman
until Mr. Houston can relieve him.

SAID TO OF PROBLEM
WASHINGTON, Sept., 9, t/P)—
Indian wards of the government
must be trained and equipped to
had jobs in the present-day United
Suites, the Secretary of the Inter
im . Ray Lyman Wilbur, stated in a
lu;ter addressed to Indian -School
Supervisors at the opening session
cu a weeks’ annual conference of
the Department.
The same idea was expressed by
Dr. H. B. Peairs, general superin
tendent of Indian education. The
livest problem in Indian education,
he said, is to find work for the
graduates of the Indian schools.
The young students often get a
good education or learn a trade,
only to return to the reservation
where they find no employment for
their learning or skill.
Obviously the future of such In
dians is not found on the reserva
ton but away from it”, stated Dr.
Peairs.

EDITORIAL
AIR-MINDED ALASKA
The recent merging of the
Wien Alaska Airways, Inc., the
Bennett-Rodebaugh air lines and
the Anchorage Air Transport Co.
by Col. C. B. Eielson, Alaska’s
premier pioneer “ace” and world
renowned aviator who has been
decorated by many foreign
cuntries as well as the United
States government^ should bring
to mind of all Alaska citizens—
those who are not already air
minded—that the Territory has
an air-service which will be sec
ond to none, in the very near
future.
Thru this merger the public is
offered better schedules, every
modern safeguard at all times,
and speedier service. The lonely
outposts are such no longer for
with the large number of airplane
landing fields in the Territory
more than 70 of them—comuni
cation with Fairbanks, Nome and
Anchorage, is but a day off. With
the completion of Seward’s field,
now under construction, this city
will take its place with other
Alaska ai/-minded towns*
WHAT A FARCE!
At last night”s council meeting
it was reported prohibition agent
Boyce ana deputy Reea naa both
enjoined council members for bet
ter policing of hte city; that too
many drunks were running around
loose and that chief Guest spent
too much time driving the fire and
street department trucks. Also, that
a special officer could make his
salary arresting drunks.
So its come to this has it? If con
ditions in town are so bad as these
men paint it why not declare mar
tial law. Immediately following the
complaints a canvass was made of
the city and not one drunk was
seen, Guest said last night.
Another councilman stated he
had never seen the city as orderly
asthesesendh arenct sJuitdinsna
I and so few drunks as the last six
i months. Every citizen knows this is
. true.
| The so-called many drunks will
i he kept off the streets when the dry
| squad man, under-cover men and
marshals perform their duty in
stopping the sale of alleged liquor.
In the meantime the City of
Seward will endeavor to run its
own business in its usual clean
, method without interference from
government men who apparently
haven’t got enough knitting of
! their own to do.
RESURRECTION
VALLEY GARDENS
The greatest surprise tmirists
receive on their first visit to Sew
ard is to see the wonderful growth
of vegetation of every native and
; cultivated variety for miles up
the Resurrection valley.
In numerous clearings in the
timber, as well as on home places
within the city limits, are gardens
of raspberries, strawberries, goose
berries, currants and peas, po
tatoes, beans cabbage, cauliflower,
carrots, and every other kind of
garden plant, which are not sur
passed of luxuriance in any state
of the Union.
We who live here are used to
these growths, but it takes the
surprise of the tourists to remind
us of the tremendous riches we
have in the soil right at our doors.
The area of the Resurrection
I valley alone could support a pop
| ulation of 50,000 on berry and
j vegetable gardens.
