The United States George
Washington Bicentennial Commis
sion, of which Herbert Hoover is
president, has requested Delegate
Wickersham to present to the
Governor of the Territory of Al

of the Daughters and Sons of the
American Republic. The bust has
been shipped to Juneau and Miss

Attorney Sherman Duggan has
been notified that his client Ged.
Weiss, of Ketchikan, has complied

The Navy Department is releas
ing or changing to other stations
19 men from the Eyak (Cordova)
radio station, which action has
brought a protest from the Cordo
va Chamber of Commerce. But

The original funds made availa
ble for the maintenance of flood
control work at Lowell Creek, Sew
ard, are about exhausted and
there is no money at this time un
der the control of the Alaska Road
Commission for any further re
pairs that may become necessary.
An effort was made at the last
session of Congress to authorize
the Secretary of War to submit
for the consideration of Congress
such estimates as are necessary for
the proper maintenance of the
flood control works at Lowell
Creek. The bill failed of passage
and will likely be again introduced
next winter.
As the last session of the Terri
torial Legislature provided a Com
mission to determine the proper
place for the erection of a new
Pioneers Home, and the status of
the title of the land upon which
i the permanent home is to be con
Istructed, and the proper means
| for acquiring title thereto, the
i question of the title of the present
; location of the home is now under
| consideration. The land is owned
' by the government and title has
never been transferred to the Ter
ritory. It will require an act of
i Congress to transfer the title and
| if the Commission, composed of
the Governor, Highway Engineer
and Superintendent of the home,
request the Delegate to introduce
the necessary legislation to give
title to the Territory he will intro
duce a bill to that end at the next
session.
