ANTHONY J. DIMOND
At a meeting of the
Committee on Territories,
of which Alaska’s Dele
gate Anthony J. Dimond,
was a member, the Gover
nor of the Territory of
Alaska, Ernest Gruening,
was a visitor, and was ask
ed to make a few remarks
to the committee.
“Alaska,” he said, “is
now of the greatest im
portance to our national
defense. Billy Mitchell
was the first to proclaim
Alaska’s importance,’’ the
governor continued, “and
Alaska’s Delegate An
thony J. Dimond, never
ceased to call attention to
the defenselessness of
Alaska.”
“Alaskans are hard
workers, energetic and
self-reliant, v independent
and straight thinking,”
said the governor, ‘‘and we
need no better illustration
than the fact that they
have for the past 12 years
elected and re-elected An
thony J. Dimond as their
Delegate to Congress.”
The foregoing remarks
fit the grove of thought
for every true Alaskan.
The people of Alaska hold
their beloved “Tony” Di
mond in the highest of es
teem and admiration, for
splendid service during his
tenure of offee as Alaska’s
Delegate to Congress.
Tony has fought dili
gently and unstintingly for
his territory, so much so,
that the people hardly
realized they had a vote
less representative in
Congress.
The fish traps were one
of his greatest bones of
contention, bitterly oppos
ing them, he made every
effort to have them abol
ished.
The Alaska Legislature
ten years ago, spent a

great deal of time and ef
fort on the fish trap ques
tion, with arguments pro
and con on the most im
portant bill of the session.
Mr. Dimond also went
all out for “Statehood”
for Alaska, and never tir
ed in his efforts to win
over opponents to the idea
of Alaska home rule.
Today our “Tony is , U.
S. District Judge of the
Third Division, at Anchor
age, andi we know that the
people under his jurisdic
tion wiill receive the same
care and jurisprudence, as
he exercised in the dis
charge of his office as
Alaska’s Delegate to Con
gress.
Although he is no long
er Alaska’s Delegate,
Alaska still has a great
champion in the one and
only “Tony” Dimond.

1,116 tons of freight per train in
