WASHINGTON, D. C. (By W. A.
S.)—The General Manager of the
Alaska Railroad has i?atisfactorily
explained to the Secretary of the
Interior his order limiting employ
ment to those under 50 years of
age, with selective employment to
those over 50.
It was deemed necessary to for
mulate some rules to govern the}
employment of maintenance forces |
during summer months, as many i
old men had come up from the j
States looking for work. There have
been approximately 100 men over j
the ages of 50 and 60 employed since 1
the order was issued.
General Manager Ohlson, of the
Alaska Railroad, states that positive
instructions have been issued to
the effect that aliens must not be
employed, and when it was discov
ered that some one got by through
misrepresentation, elimination im
mediately followed when the faces
were learned.

Residents of Livengood have writ
| ten the Delegate in appreciate n uf
I his efforts to secure a wagon road
I from Fairbanks to Livengood A
| survey is now being made oy Haw
'ley Sterling on the line from Fox
i to Olnes and across the Ghataniko
River and on to Livengood. It is
1 hoped that eventually this road
! may be extended to Rampart and
I across the Yukon river to the Koy
jukuk and Chandalar sections. To
do that, however, the Delegate is
expected to secure a large approp
riation from Congress.

Since the Postmaster at Valdez
resigned there have been two ap
plications for office, and now a
third writes that he is competent
and desirous of securing the place.

Alaskans generally will remem
ber that popular officer, Maj. John
C. Gotwals, who served from April
1920 until March 1924, as Engineer
Officer for the Alaska Road Com
mission and U. S. Engineer Depart
ment. Although his headquarters
during that period were in Juneau
his official duties took him all over
the Territory, and he became a wel^
| known figure. From Alaska he was
| transferred to St. Louis, where he
was engaged in engineering work
for six years. In July 1930 the Major
was given the position of Engineer
Commissioner for the District of
Columbia, being one of the three
Commissioners who are entrusted
with the responsibility of managing
the business affairs of the city of
Washington.
At present Major Gotwals is tak-!
ing a much needed rest and vaca
tion from the duties that have prov
en quite trying on the health of a
man who lived much in the open in
Alaska and thrived on the great
out-door life.

i The residents of Rampart write
that they are greatly disappointed
because their petition “for building
two bridges across Big Manook river,
^nd the repair and extension of the
Government road to meet the pre
sent Hot Springs highway at Eure
i ka,” has not received more sub
stantial attention.
I
| The Alaska Road Commission is
| building a small bridge at the
! mouth of the Little Manook, but
| the residents say this will be of
1 little service to any of the other
' creeks as it is inaccessible to Hoo
j sier, Hunter or Manook Junior. The
I -request for the building of a high
! tv to Eureka v.-^uld first have to
! be reported on by the engineers as
I a new project and the money then
I provided for it. It is hoped that
; this may be done next year

The residents of Circle have been
| put at their ease through assur
ance from the Signal Corps De
i - » * ir.ent here that the “reported”
contemplated removal of the Signal
; - -a station from Circle to an
other town was nothing more than
a “rumor”.
