ANCHORAGE WANTS
IMMEDIATE ACTION
-x
The Chamber of Commerce
committee on adjustment of
freight and passenger rates on
the Alaska railroad met recently
to discuss the matters assigned
for their consideration. In the
course of the meeting it became
clearly apparent that all pres
ent were of the opinion that this
matter, as well as the matter of
securing the immediate con
constructicn of a federal building
in tne city oi nncnorage requir -
ed personal attention of someone
representing the city at Wash
ington. It was pointed out that
the matter of the federal build
ing has reached the point where
preliminary plans and estimates
have been made by the office of
the supervising architect of the
treasury so that it is even de
finitely known where the various
offices will be located. The sum
of $400,000 was requested of
congress for this purpose, but
with other important measures
it was lost in the last minute
filibuster during the last session.
Harry Morton, sent as a dele
gate will have Judge Wicker
sham assist in the above plans.
WHITE SWANS MOVING
INTO KLAMATH LAKE
-x
Flying in long lines of waving
silvery white, large flecks of
Alaskan swans are moving in to
winter quarters on Upper Kla
math Lake. Their raucous cries
are now heard day and night.
Thousands of these large
birds wintered on Upper Kla
math Lake last year, the first
time they had done so in more
than twenty years. The white
pelicans for which Klamath is
famous are beginning to move
out to migrate to the South.
