TO THE VOTERS OF NOME
AND THE SECOND DIVISION
Due to a death in the family, my presence
is required in California for the next several
months. I will therefore be unable to return to
my home at Nome in time to actively participate
in the Primary Election of April 30th.
As I again seek reelection to the House of
Representatives of the Alaska Legislature, I
again ask your support at the polls. As in the past,
1 I have no axe to grind, am not beholden to any
j special interests, and will continue, if reelected,
to serve the best interests of the majority of our
people. !

EXPECT TO FIND
BETTER LIFE IN ALASKA
TACOMA, April 22—A modern
Columbus, admitting “more nerve
! than experience,” got under way
| for Alaska in a 40-foot home
•made boat named the “ARK" in
which he hopes to carry his wife
seven minor children and himself
to a better life than being on re
lief in Virginia.
Paul Satko, 49, a former ma
rine, sailed at 4:30 p.m. Sunday
while 20,000 onlookers roared
good wishes. The boat anchored
overnight off Maury Island be
tween here and Seattle.
The youngest child is two and
one-half years and the oldest 18
years. The family’s destination is
Homer, on Cook Inlet, where the
parents hope to homestead 160
acres.
Citizens here gave him grocer
ies an alarm clock, and a cap
tain’s cap.
Waterfront circles doubt the
seaworthiness of the craft draw
ing three and one-half feet of
water powered by a 1926 truck
motor, an eight foot beam and is
but nine feet from keel to deck,
Seattle, April 23 — Spurning
Coast Guard and fishing vessels
assistance, the Paul Satkow fam
ily set about getting their top
heavy and home-made cruiser
Ark off a shoal under Magnolia
Bluff where it grounded today,
“We got it here ourselves and
we’ll get it off ourselves,” the
father confidently told passing
boats, while the family of eight
huddled below deck from the
rain.
The Ark had anchored over
night near Alki Point because
“charts show this spot was about
1.0 feet deep. I guess I didn't
know the tide would go out so
far.” The boat lay in less than 12
inches of water as he spoke.
Seattle April 24 —Paul Sarvj
accepted Coast Guard aid which
pulled his little ship Ark off the
beach and proceeded toward Ev
erett, with his seven children
singing the Hawaiin song “Fare
well to Thee, Aloha Oe.”
Seattle, April 24 — Declaring
the “Ark isn’t safe,” Captain
John Fox, secretary of the Mas
! !er, Mates and Pilot local said he
' would ask juvenile authorities to
! take Mr. and Mrs. Paul Sakow’s
seven children off his home-made
boat to keep them from sailing to
Alaska.
The Ark is now anchored in
the sheltered waters of the Lake
Washington ship canal today
awaiting calmer weather.
Fox said he believed juvenile
authorities could act because the
: children are not receiving school
ing and said attorneys are being
' consulted.
JUST OLD FRIENDS
SAYS PRES. ROOSEVELT
WARM SPRINGS, April 24 —
President Roosevelt authorized
i his secretary to say his visit with
! W. L. Mackenzie King, Prime
Minister of Canada, to the little
1 White House has no political sig
inificance and “no question of
American-Canadian policy is in
volved.”
William Hassett, presidential
aide made this statement shortly
after the Dominion’s Prime Min
i ister arrived to be a guest. The
two had lunch in the President’s
cottage then went to the admin
istration building of the Infantile
Paralysis Foundation where they
talked with several Canadian pa
, tients.
Hassett said: “The President
authorized me to say this visit
I literally means nothing; that
they are old friends and have
known each other 30 years.”
Chinese City Is Recaptured

CHUNG KING. April 25— The
Chinese central news agency re
ported Kaifeng. in Honan prov
ince was recaptured, the first pro
vincial capital reverting to Chin
ese hands since the war began on
