The various departments of the
Federal government have submitted
to the Bureau of the Budget their
estimates of expenditures for the
period from July 1, 1933 to June
30, 1934. This year the bureau eli
minated submission of preliminary
estimates and called upon the de
nartmcnts to submit final esti
m iter. These are now ali in but
ere not revealed or discussed pub
licly by the bureau. Conferences
have started and will continue be
tween the bureau and department
al budgetary officers each morn
ing until the budget is ready to go
before the December session of
Congress.
Alaska is vitally interested in
tne final conclusions that may be
reached by the budget and the
final action in appropriations by
the House and Senate. It may be
stated now that most of the de
partmental heads are agreed that
the allowances for the next year
will not exceed those of the pre
sent year. The Department of the
Interior is now appearing before

the budget in justification of the
appropriations asked for. Many of
these items concern Alaska, a.s may
be understood from the appropria
tions passed at the last session of
Congress ;i£ follows:
For the education of natives in |
Alaska, $650,000; for the Alaska j
Road Commission $494,000; Indian
medical relief $231,800; investiga
tion of mineral resources in Alas

fiscal year 1933; insane of Alaska!
$156,000; support of reindeer sta
tions $34,500; offices of Governor
and Secretary of Territory $33,-1

The recent appropriation passed
by Congress for building and other
projects to stimulate employment
thruout the country, in the sum of
$332,5G0,000, was ordered slashed to
the extent of 10 per cent under the
economy act. For optional public
buildings $100,000,000 was provided
and Comptroller General McCarl
informed Secretary of the Treasury
Mills the other day that this a
mount will be reduced to $90,000.
0G0. Previous to this session of Con
I
i
gross a building program had been
decided on and many contracts a
warded. But there was still alloca- |
tod. to be appropriated, $154,345,
C00 which included buildings at An- j
chorage and Ketchikan to cost
$400,000 each. Under the new ap
propriation the Alaska buildings
can bo taken care of. if Secretary
of the Treasury so decides! There
is not sufficient funds to provide
for ail the buildings allocated by
the Delegate’s office has kept in
close touch with the Secretary and
has urged that the Alaska buildings
be selected for construction, be
cause of their urgent public neces
sity and also to give employment
to the many unemployed now in j
Alaska, a large part of whom have i
gone north from the various states.!
.——-j
Flowers made to order for all
occasions. SYLVIA’S
For some days past the subject of
new construction has been consid
ered by a joint interdepartment
committee of the Treasury and Post
Office departments and on October
9th the Delegate’s office was in
formed that a report had practic
ally been decided on and was in the
hands of Secretary Mills and Post
master General Brown, who will de
cide which buildings are to be con
structed. It was further stated that
the dire need of employment in cer
tain localities will, prove an import
ant factor in making the selec
tions. The dispatch sent to the j
Alaska newspapers on August 27,1
statvhg that the Anchorage andj
Ketchikan buildings were to be in
cluded in the new construction and
that bids would be called for with
in 30 days, was quite misleading.!
No selection has yet been announc- '
ed and so far as the Alaska build
ings are concerned no plans have
as yet been drawn, according to a
statement from the Treasury De
partment. but it is altogether prob
able that the plans will include
provisions for jails, although some'
of the Ketchikan people think;
otherwise. Selection of at least some
of the towns where buildings are to
be constructed are expected to be
announced any day now.

The unfortunate drowning of O.
F. Hill, postmaster at Hyder. made '
neces- try the appointment of an
achng postmaster, and the patrons
of th' office were almost unani
mous in recommending the widen
Loretm C. Hill, who had been as
sistant postmaster. Delegate Wick
ersham secured the appointment of
-Its. J Till and was given assurance
by the Postmaster General that
v< h< n Congress convened her name
would be sent to the Senate for
confirmation as permanent post
master. as this is a Presidential of- |
lice and confirmation is required ■
by the Senate. !

In referring to the recent mys- |
terious disappearance of Col. Ray- \
mond Robins, the newspapers say •
that “he was in the Klondyke rush !
in Alaska in 1898 and acquired a J
fortune”. Even at this late date J
it is hard for the writers to under- »
stand that the Klondyke and Daw- !
-on are in Canada, a short distance |
across the border-line from Alaska. 1

heritage of beauty, a gift of the \

ties as the mountains rise above !
the plains. And it is this realm ‘

BETTER TIMES ARE COMING
Don’t be Discouraged!
Don’t lose the will to win .... don’t join the pessimists who
see naught but disaster ahead—
During a previous depression, the government had to is
sue paper “Clearing House Certificates” as a substitute for
money. Conditions were just as bad, only we have forgotten.
Prosperity has always followed bad times—this is one of the
laws of business cycles.
Now is the time to substitute the word “Reconstruction” for
“depression.”
Don’t be discouraged. Lend a hand to reestablish confidence.
America will see this through and emerge victorious.
Better times are coming!
