CAPITAL INTERESTS
(By Bob Bartlett)
Residents of Alaska’s coastal
sections who are accustomed to
rain would have found plenty of
it in Washington last week. A ter- j
rific storm, beating up from the
Tropics, struck this city and in the
24 hour period during which it
lasted the rainfall amounted to
5.8 inches. A high wind accom
panied the rain and throughout
the Washingtnon, D. C., section a
great deal of damage was done. j
* * * *
Preferring to remain in Wash- j
ington to take part in the econo- :
mic rehabilitation of the nation i
now underway rather than embark I
upon a diplomatic career by ac- i
cepting appointment as U. S. Min- !
ister to Finland, Emil E. Hurja was
named last week to be administra
tive assistant to Harold lr. Ickes in ,
the latter’s capacity as P u b li c
Works Administrator. This ap- I
pointment places Mr. Hurja, who is ■
a former Alaskan newspaper man, i
in one of the key positions of the |
government. He was formerly per
j sonnel officer of the Reconstruc- !
i tion Finance Corporation.
An invitation to visit Alaska was
extended to Will Rogers, the sage
i of Beverly Hills, by Mr. and Mrs.
Hugh Wade recently. They had a
i conversation with Will during the
course of a visit to Washington to
• size up things in the city of “cod
j itis.” as he terms it. Rogers ex
pressed a desire to go North and
i told Mr. and Mrs. Wade he had
! gone so far last Spring as to make
inquiries as to whether he could
travel directly from Seattle by air
. plane. His informant told him
: there was no regular service, so
he postponed the journey but told
Mr. and Mrs. Wade he would make
: it before long.
' Victor Ross, chief pilot for the
Northern Air Transport, of Nome

went to Chicago and then to Alas

Following distribution of the re
1 port of the International High
way Commission by Delegate Di
mond, commendatory letters have
commenced to come in. The follow
ing one received from Frank Sei
berling, president of the Sieber
ling Rubber Company is typical:
“I have your letter of the 14th
; with a copy of publication of the
International H i g hway Commis
; sion. I am very much in favor of
the project and am writing the
1 President as you suggest.
“If this highway can be built,
it is destined to open up enormous
; natural resources in Alaska that
otherwise will remain undevelop
ed for many years and in view of
the policy of our Government to
extend its public improvements_
evidenced by the projects which
are now being put under way—you
have reason to expect that this
Alaska highway project will re
ceive the favorable support of the
Government authorities.
“Success to your efforts!”

I At the Office of Indian Affairs
J the arrival of Miss Christie Sather
j from Juneau is being awaited.
Miss Sather, secretary in the Alas

ilar duties. Miss Sather is a Nome

Among the former Alaskans liv
| ing in or near Washington is Mrs.
i Bennett Jones, formerly Miss Mar- j

hter. Mr. Summers, who was in the j

vice. Mr. Jones has also been in
Alaska as a member of the Coast

‘ Nothing would please me more

few years.
“Will do what I can to accom
