RETURNS TO START
DISCUSSES RESULT OF WORK OF
CONGRESS AS APPLIED TO
ALASKA
General Manager Noel Smith, who
returned from his annual trip to Wash
ington Saturday, believes that pro
gress has been made as the result of
legislation passed by Congress. Mr.
Smith believes that among the most
important measures, aside from se
curing his appropriations, are the
creation of a centralized board, com
posed of representatives of the Interi
or, Commerce and Agricultural Depart
ments. This board will have the pow
er of disposing of many matters that
now must go to Washington for con
sideration by the Secretaries of the
three departments affected, with the
idea of expediting transactions be
tween the public and those who con
trol conserved natural resources.
It is Mr. Smith's impression that the
members of the departmental board
will be named from men now identi
fied with the various departments in
Alaska and not selected independent
of this personnel.
The other measure which is looked
y
to to grant relief from a hitherto in
tricate situation is the law permitting
of the purchase of five-acre tracts of
the public domain. This will permit
those desiring a site for store, saw
mill, etc., to acquire a title by pur
chase at $2.50 per acre. It was Mr.
Smith’s impression that the law was
applicable to any part of the public
domain not included in the right-of
way of the Alaska Railroad. Hitherto
holders of such sites did so only as
squatters.
Discussing his season’s program, Mr.
Smith says it will be confined to the
continuance of rehabilitation of road
bed and construction of steel bridges
to replace wooden structures, and fill
ing in trestles.
Asked if he contemplated discontin
uing the commissary, from which
employes of the railroad at outlying
points are supplied with the necessi
ties of life, he said said the commissa
ry would remain as it is.
Among the improvements contem
plated was that of the river steamer
service. The boat leaving Nenana
will go to Marshall every other trip,
and the boat to Holy Cross with main
tain the same kind of schedule. The
N. C. company boat will maintain reg
ular service between Marshall and St.
Michaels. This allows of opportunity
for sleeping ashore at Marshall be
fore proceeding.
COURT OF MLS HOLDS
CLUB DECISION IS OKEH
CHICAGO, March 28. (£>)—’The Unit
ed States District Court of Appeals up
held the decision that cafes and night
clubs may be padlocked on the
grounds that prohibition officers
smelled liquor and say set-ups were
furnished.
“Bob” Willis, who for several mon
ths has been employed in the grocery
department of Brown & Hawkins,
Inc., has severed his connections and
has entered the ranks of the local
dock employes.
Sovet Russia proposes building a
$65,000,000 canal to connect the Don
and Volga Rivers, and has asked aid
of American engineers.
There will be no more silk pajama
parades at the Florida State College
for Women in Tallahassee. Eeac
term, the girls have paraded in the
moonlight, clad in beautiful pajamas,
made and bought especially for the
occasion. The parades were confin
ed to the campus and immediate vi
cinity. Now, however, college offi
cials and students have decided that
the celebrations should be eliminated.
“First find your type. Then dress
accordingly.”
If any girl will remember this axi
om, she can dress well on a very
small sum of money, says Madge
Kennedy ,the actress.
“The main idea is to find the best
there is about you, play up these and
submeage your defects,” she explains.
“If a girl has pretty legs, one can
hardly blame her for weearing knee
length skirts, but if she hasn’t she
shouldn’t wear short dresses just to
be in style.
