HIASKA ITEMS OF
INTEREST AT THE
MIL CAPITOL
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 23.
By W.A.S.)—One of the Chambers
•of Commerce in Southeastern Al
aska was under the impression that
the Secretary of Agriculture had
issued an order that the funds
available for road and trail con
struction in the Territory should
be reduced 50 per cent, and that
by reason of this reduction in avail
able funds the construction of work
'would be greatly reduced. * Forest
-'Service officials, however, say that
the report of curtailment of funds
is unfounded and that the sums
originally allotted are to be ex
panded.

W. Hawkesworth, of Juneau, the
garden party given one afternoon
recently by Mrs. William N. Doak,

their home, Notre Nid, Fairfax, Va.

At the Interior Department it is
stated that Ernest Walker Sawyer
was to attend a meeting at Vic
toria of the American and Cana
- dian representatives on the Pacific
International Highway Commission.
At that time reports of engineer
ing parties will be submitted and
studied, with the idea of deciding
on a definite route for the new
project which will connect the
States with Fairbanks, by way of
Dawson, Yukon Territory. At pres
ent the northern end of the British
Columbia highways system is at
Hazelton. From there to Fairbanks,
a road 1,000 miles long will have to
be built at an estimated cost of
$10,000,000. Of the unfinished part,
500 miles are in British Columbia,
300 in Yukon Territory and 200 in
Alaska. At Fairbanks the new
road will connect up with the 2,000
miles of good roads already in Al
aska. As a representative of the
Interior Department, Mr. Sawyer is
giving particular study to the prob
lem of getting rid of the annual
deficits of the government-owned
railroad in Alaska, through the
building up of more traffic by the
development of the natural re
sources of the Territory. At a
meeting of the Pacific Foreign
Trade Council Convention, held at
Oakland on September 17, he de
livered a very illuminating and in- j
teresting address on the untold!
mineral resources of Alaska and the |
exceptional charm of its scenic
; attractions.

John Barrymore, who cruised
| with his wife in Alaskan waters
| during the past summer, and who
! is an outstanding figure in the
American theatre, is the latest star
to advise the District of Columbia
Bicentennial Commission of his
willingness to participate in the
George Washington play to be per
formed in honor of the first Pres
ident, on the Monument grounds
next June 22 to 25.
Mrs. O. M. Carter and daughter,
of Ketchikan, drove in their auto
from Seattle and reached Washing
ton last week, stopping in Nebraska
to allow the former’s sister to join
them. The daughter has been
placed in the Mjarjory Webster j
school at Rock Creek Park and Mrs.
Carter will be joined in a few days
by her husband, who is president
of the Citizens Light, Power and
| Water Company at Ketchikan, who
is to make a business trip to New
York and Boston before they return
to the West and North.

j The Department of Justice has
| announced that effective October
i 1, the travel allowance of its em
| ployees will be trimmed a dollar a
I day. The per diem allowance in
lieu of subsistence now fixed at $6
is reduced to $5, and the limitation
on actual expenses of subsistence '
now fixed at $7 a day is reduced
to $6 a day. This order will effect
all officers and employees of the
Department, including Alaska, and
will result in the saving of about
$1,000 a day in the expenditures.

ver Progressive Republican Thomas
R. Amlie, Elkhorn attorney, was
elected by the first Wisconsin dis
trict to fill the unexpired term of
the late Cooper.
Unofficial returns gave him 14,
200 votes. His closest rival was
Bouma, who upset the forecasts
and was given 7,200, the largest
ever given to a Socialist candidate
by that district.
Herzog, Democrat, was given
3,400 and Sikat, Communist, was
given 500. The Republicans now
have 215 members in the House
and the Democrats 214. There is
also one Farmer-Labor and five
seats to be filled.
