Nine Children In
Cooper’s School
Andrew Wilcox, who is chef
for the Forestry trail crew on the
Quartz creek project, has his fam
ily—Mrs. Wilcox and their three
bright children, all from Wyoming
are. now domiciled in the Anderson
cabin at the Lower Landing.
One of the children is enrolled
in the public school, presided over
by Miss Phyliss Downing. Mr. and
Mrs. Simpson, whose homestead is
at the Kenai lake end of Quartz
creek trail, have also moved to the
Landing and entered their child in
school. This brings the enrolment
to nine. Miss Downing is on her
third term as teacher.
WIND DID DAMAGE
The windstorm, which on Sep
tember 3 lashed Kenai lake into a
cauldron of seething spume, test
ing the strength of lake craft
caught in its fury, struck as far
west as Russian river. It scattered
Lou Bishop’s haystacks and lifted
some of the metal roofing from
his new house.

CAPITAL INTERESTS
By Bob Bartlett i
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 2, — I
Seventy million dollars was setj
aside by the Public Works Admin- i
istration for rivers and harbors (
| projects. Numerous Alaskan pro-:
i jects were approved.
According to information given j
by John Collier, Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, immediate action
wll be had on the building pro
gram in Alaska. The following
program was submitted by Dr. P.
W. Gordon, Director of Education,
and was approved by the Commis
sioner:
Buckland—school and teacher
age. $9,000; Tetlin, school and
teacherage, $6,600; Quigillingok,
$4,500; Unalakleet $15,000; Diomede
$10,000; Douglas, community cen
ter and school, lower grades, $9,500.
! With freighting and other nec
I pssary expenses the total sum
j amounted to $60,000, but since the
! Program was approved the Office
| of Indian Affairs was informed a
j deduction of 10 per cent must be
made and Dr. Gordon will revise
the program in accordance with
the new figures. Local labor will
be employed wherever possible
and local materials will be used 1
wherever they are available.
; A definite ruling as to whether
the National Industrial Recovery
Act applies to Alaska has been
asked of General Hugh S. John
son. NRA Administrator, by Dele
j gate Dimond.
The assumption all along has
| been, of course, that the act does
not apply. However, publication of j
press dispatches from Honolulu j
indicate there was at least a belief
there that NRA was not extended
I to Hawaii led the Delegate to
, take the matter up with the chief
‘ counsel of NRA. That official gave!
j it as his opinion that the Terri-!
; tories of Alaska and Hawaii come i
! within the jurisdiction of the act,!
but so that there would be no
, doubt whatever. Delegate Dimond
is going direct to General Johnson
. for a ruling.
! Time, the news magazine, in I
i the issue of September 4, devotes ‘
‘ over a column to the meteoric j
, rise in public life of Emil Hurja.i
’ right-hand man of Postmaster;
General Farley, narrating among!
! other things, the start of his car-1
err in Alaska as a reporter.
Opposite Grand Central Termi-j
j nal in New York on 42nd Street in 1
New York City, one of the busj !
town’s busiest thoroughfares, is
the ticket office of the Pan Amer
ican Airways,
For the past week an Alaska !
| exhibit in the window of the of- ;
j fice has attracted crowds, so much
so in fact that the policeman on
the beat has had a real traffic
problem on his hands. The exhibit
.is to be kept on display another
Week.
i In the ticket office on temporary
| assignment is Don M. Parker, Jr., I
; who until June of this year was
in the traffic department of Pacific
Alaska Airways at Fairbanks. One
other Alaskan by adoption in New
York is Lowell W. Lee, also former- j
ly with Pacific Alaska.
At Pan American offices the {
statement was made that Joe j
Crosson ana Jerry Jones were ex-1
pected soon en route to Miami, Fla.,
from where they will ferry fast
Fleetster planes to Fairbanks, to
be based in the service of the
Alaska company. It is probable j
that Joe Barrows, operations man-,
ager of the Pacific International
Airways until that firm was taken
over by Paifii Alaska, will fly one
of the three Fleetsters north.
Kenai river is rapidly falling,
bringing the bars into view, per
mitting residents to snipe for gold 1
with short “toms.” Many residents
are laying up a winter’s grub-stake.
Bob Carlson and Alex Hoagland
| have just returned to lower Kenai
, lake from prospecting in Juneau
j Flats. They report they will not
I know the value of their discover
! ies until they get assays.
