Faulker Takes
Alaska’s Fight
To Mine Parley
J
Nearly 2,f00 delegates to the
American Mining Congress, one
of the most potent industrial
groups in the United States, re
cently applauded a speech made
by attorney H. L. Faulkner of
Juneau when he presented to the
congress the problems of Alaska
under progressing withdrawals
of land from public domain.
Faulkner returned on the Aleu
tion after several weeks in the
States during which he attend
ed the Mining Congress annual
session at Colorado Springs,, tak
ing his seat as delegate from the
Alaska Miners’ Association,
i To this body, whicr lawmakers
consider one of the most power
; ful retarding influences in the
l path of ill-considered national
legislation, Fauiknr presented an
argument that “the policy of the
present Secretary of Interior is
to use Alaska for experimental
purposes and to experiment
there with things whicji have
been tried before and which com
mon experience has demonstrat
ed to be impractical.-’
ICKES POLICY
Faulkner held, up as glaring ex
ample of Ickes policy the with
drawal of “approximately 2,000,
000 acres in Glacier National
Monument, where prospecting
may be carried on only under re
strictive regulations of the De
partment.”
The well known Juneau attor
ney also declared, "The Secre
1 tary is contemplating reserva
| lions of large areas in Southeast
ern and Southwestern Alaska to
be sot aside to conduct experi
j ments on behalf of the Indians
1 in canning salmon, at public ex
pense and under government su
1 pervision—at the expense of pri
■ vate industry already establish
! ed.”
Licensing System
l The Department of Interior
plan for instituting a licensing
: system for Alaska mines, per
mitting operation on a royalty
basis without title a’so drew
Faulkner’s fire, as did the propos
! ed measure in Congress, sponsor
i ed by Ickes, that would with
draw all lands within 80 rods of
! any water in Alaska from public
i entry or location.
Of this bi'l Faulkner said: “In
■ the Territory with its 25,000
miles of coastline, where most of
the settlements and ihdustries
are on tidewater, with its vast
, system of rivers and streams, its
millions of lakes, it is difficult to
find land of any description
whi::h is not within 80 rods of
some water."
Eternal Vigiance
'ulVv'o’’ H *n
sion of his address, "Eternal vig
ilance is the role which must be
played by all those who own any
thing in Alaska or contemplate
, acquiring anything. The Secre
! tary in a statement made public
: last fall, referred to those of us
who live in the Territory and
: have any interests here and who
j are a'ive to the dangers apparent
j on the face of his schemes and
proposals, as a group of monopol
ists attempting to preserve their
monopoly, which, according to
him. must exist through our own
ership of one-half of one percent
of the lands of the Territory."
Faulkner said the congress was
better attended this year than ev
er before and that exhibits of
mining machinery and other mat
erials topped everything in the
past.
Corcoran Quits
Thomas G. Corcoran, dynamic
i political half of the famed Cor
coran-Cohen brain trust team, is
quitting his government job—-but
j not the New Deal.
In fact, he is going to be more
active in it than ever. "Tommy,”
; as the President calls him. will
: resign from the FRC legal staff
: to become one of the generalissi
; mos of the independent cam
1 paign organization to be headed
by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia
1 and Senator George Norris.
This outfit will operate inde
I pendently of the Democratic Na
tional Committee. It will set up
J its own state committees and
, raise its own funds. Corcoran
[will function in the organizations
! headquarters, located in the Ho
| tel Roosevelt in New York City.
One of the major activities of
! the organization will be a trans
I continental speaking tour by La
| Guardia and an extensive mid
we t:r campaign by Norris. Un
der plans already completed La
Gmrdia will make major address
es in Chicago. San Francisco, Los
Angeles, and possibly Seattle.
Norris will tour Wisconsin. Min
nesota, Iowa. North Dakota and
NHaraska.
Corcoran is entering act:vely
into the campaign at the express
request of Roosevelt. Until re
cently the braintruster was busy
with RFC legal matters involv
ing defense, but when it was do
ided to set up the Progressive
campaign organization, Corcoran
was asked to take an executive
position. Benjamin V. Cohen, his
ion-politcal sidekick i« continu
ing in his government post as an
Interior Department attorney.

HOME ARTS CLUB ORDER
PLAYGROUND FQI IPMENT
The Home Arts Club whir, is
the local chapter of the General
Federation of Women's Club., has
just closed its third successful
year as spomsor of the Nome
Playfield. It has spent several
hundred dollars in gravelling
this playfield for the children of
Nome moving the old equipment
formerly at Barracks Square and
adding new swings and trapeze
rings.
The past season the Club un
dertook a new angle of the pro
ject and maintained a part-time
playfield supervisor, Mrs. Char
les Esch who reports that attend
ance average between thirty and
forty children until the rainy sea
son began, showing that the child
rein and their parents responded
favorably to this project.
The Club is planning to have
more supervision next year with
play indoors on rainy days. More
playfield equipment has beem or
dered to be shipped on the first
boat. This order includes new
teeter-totters, and, a giant stride
which is considered the most pop
ular piece of playground equip
ment made and used today.
To date the Home Arts Club
lias raised through its annual
Tamboree over a thousand dol
lars, all of which has been spent
on the playfield. As long as the
children have a place to play
they are not in danger on the
streets or in other places where
they should not be.
The 1940 Jamboree, to be held
in November is in the hands of
a committee who promise many
new features of entertainment
and a grand program.
