(By W.A.S.)
Mr. and Mrs. John L. Steele,
formerly of Valdez, returned to
New York after a sojourn of a
month in Washington. Mr. Steele
has been interested in securing
leases from the General Land Of
fice for certain coal land in the
Bering River country. He succeed
ed in that and says he has capital
available to open up these proper
ties, mine the coal, crush it, and
make shipment from Comptroller
Bay to California, to be used for
making coke.
•X* X* *>r :i:
At the last session of the Terri
torial Legislature, a memorial was
passed calling upon Delegate Wick
ersham to secure the passage of
what is known as the Smith-Hughes
Act, as made applicable to Alaska.
During the past two months the
Delegate has given considerable
thought to this measure and has
conferred with representatives from
other States and Territories, but is
not vet satisfied that the Act would
be workable and beneficial in Al
aska. As a consequence he has
taken the advice of Dr. J. C. Wright,
Director for the Federal Board for
Vocational Education, and referr
ed the matter, with all the data
gathered, to Governor Parks and
the Territorial Board of Education.
The Act provides the minimum of
$10,000 for agriculture, $10,000 for
trade, home economics and indus
trial education, and $10,000 for
teacher-training, to be furnished
by the Federal government and
matched by the State or Territory
taking the benefit of the Act.
In the cases of Hawaii and Porto
Rico, the Governors of the respect
ive settlements made a request up
on the Federal board to make a re
port on the need for the extension
of the vocational program. This
report was endorsed by the Presi
dent and Congressional action fol
lowed. In a conference with Di
rector Wright, he suggested that
the Delegate advise with the Gov
ernor of Alaska or the Territorial
Legislature, before Congress should
I be asked to enter into cooperation
and a study made of the need for
J such a program, and whether or
j not the program could be carried on
; efficiently. He states: “It is my
! understanding that there are no
cities in Alaska of more than 5,000
population. We have found in the {
States that it is impracticable to ;
maintain a day trade school in a
city of 5,000 or less except in cities
where a considerable number of
people are employed in some manu
facturing industry. I am also mind
ful of tlie fact that in Alaska about j
one-half of the population con- J
sists of natives who receive their j
education under the government
directly, and for which the Terri
tory is not responsible.”

The Juneau Radio Club officers
have written the Delegate com
plaining of the present interference
in getting a good reception over |
their radios because of the inade-;
quacy of the Signal Corps trans- J
mission line, and asking that ef
forts be made to secure the erec
tion of a proposed wireless station |
about nine miles from Juneau. In '
taking the matter up with the War !
1 Department, it was found that
j there is no appropriation available j
i for the erection of the new station ;
j and. not likely to be from the pres- 1
j ent session of Congress. However, t
i a larger transmission plant will be j
[sent to the Juneau station, which ,
it is expected will obviate ail inter- [
ference.
