INTERESTING FACTS
WASHINGTON TRIP
VIRILE ALASKAN IS ALWAYS AC
CORDED HEARTY WELCOME
AT WASHINGTON
The unofficial Alaska Ambassador
^to Washington,, the greatest single
handed worker for .the betterment of
the Territory the country has ever
produced, Jack McCord, who honors
Seward by calling this home, was a
guest at yesterday’s luncheon and
business meeting of the Seward Cham
ber of Commerce, of which he is a
member, and described In his usual
interesting and clear-cut style, his
observations throughout the States
and gave a brief glimpse of'the work
ings of Congress and government de
partments, relative to matters of
concern to Alaskans.
Mr. McCord’s gave expression to
his personal happiness to have been
able to begin the New Year with his
home-folk, and thereupon launched
forth upon his brief talk.
Upon leaving Seward with Mrs. Me
Cord a few months ago, they journ
ed East by, what was for him, a new
route-th© Southern-and he was quite
glad he did for the reason he encoun
’ tered many new 'people interested in
r Alaska.
Upon his arrival at the Nation’s
, Capitol he was accorded a conference
with President Coolidge, particularly,
1 on the matter of larger appropria
I
tions for the U. S. Geological Survey
in Alaska which for some years, ever
since the war, have been hampered
in this important work, by having in
sufficient funds at their command.
He believes the Chief Executive
was interested. The fact that Mr. Me
' Cord is the “father” of the Alaskan
. grazing bill, was not unknown to
the President who presented Mr. Me
Cord with the pen used in affixing
his signature upon the bill making
it a law.
Referring to the Geological Sur
vey Mr. McCord said he had urged
members of the Cabinet that the an
nual appropriation be increased
to at least $115,000, instead of the
$50,000 appropriation effective for
some years. He seeks to have the
pre-war appropriation restored and
he said the suggestion seemed to be
looked upon with favor. As the situ
ation now exists the government may
possibly lose the Alaska members au.
this department, men who have de
voted, or combined, an aggregate of
100 years to this most important of
Alaskan work, due to being hamper
