Announcement was made ofn Nov,
29 of the death of Richard Stanley
Ryan, at the home of his brotmer-in
law at Berkeley Springs, West^ Vir
ginia. “Dick” Ryan will be renKem
bered by all the early Alaskans, \as
he was prominent in the settlement
of Nome and later was a figure in the*,
Ballinger-Pinchot controversy over J
the coal claims at Katalla. He mar
ried about fifteen years ago and es-j
tablished a home near New York
City, where he had a stroke about
three years ago and from which he
never ful yrecovered.
John D. Morgan and Larry Lan,
both reidi at m erhtxzfi zfifl zfiflff flo
both residing at Cordova, have de-1
vised a pan that they believe would
effectually relieve all. future suffering
caused by unemployment and destitu
tion from old age, if it could be made
effective. This plan has been submit
ted to Delegate Wickersham, who in
turn has referred it to Walter S. Gif
ford, chairman of the President’s or-.
ganization for unemployment relief. |
The plan provides that all wage earn-1
era of both sexes be compelled
through the proper channels of legis
lation to contributeSTA$0O fw fwyb
lation to contribute a small portion of'
their monthly wages to a fund to bfe
known as the “free givers’ fund.” It
is contemplated that contributions
would be made as follows: those earn
ing from $50 to $100 per month, to
pay 25 cents; from $100 to $150, 60
cents; from $150 to $200, 75 cents-;
from $200 to $300, $1; fro m$300 tb
$400, $1.50; from $400 to $500, $2;

An official of Alaska has written
the Delegate urging that some favor

act. so as to allow farmers of the

at - all interest cost.
Ihi Interior Department has de
. ■ d that the lease of Unit No. 2 in
•> ' Matanuska coal fields will be al
lotted to the highest and best bidder,
after due advertisement has been
made. This unit adjoins the coal de
velopment that has been done by the
company of which Bartley Howard is
president.
John L. Sleek, formerly mayor of
Valdez, but who now makes his home
in California and New Yorok, is
spending a couple of weeks with Mrs.
Steele in Washington, having busi
ness before the Interior Department
concerning certain coal lands in
Alaska.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry F. Morton, of
Anchorage, arrived in Washington &
few days ago, and expect to remain
sever a weeks in the city.
The Postoffiee Department has ap
pointed B. Y. Grant postmaster at
Wrangell, effective when his bond is
submitted and approved.
The Alaska Territorial Chamber of
'Commerce has taken a referendum
‘.among its chamber members on the
Proposition of the Government sell
in ig the Signal Corps system, and the
ojnly chamber favoring sale was that
off Seward. The chambers were unan
imous on the desire to secure 60 per
cynt of the annual revenue derived by
tine Government from the operations
off the seal fisheries of the Pribilof
lislands. Another referendum on
which the chambers were unanimous
i», the desire for adequate legislation
bjy Congress to authorize the U. SL
4trmy and Navy to establish adequate
a'viation stations and landing fields in
AJaska, and to maintain one or .more
squadrons of airships at all times in
th e Territory so as to be ready to re
spond to call when needed. The re
sult of these referendums was sent to
Dglegate Wickersham, which coincide
with his views and desires on the re
spective subjects, on the latter two
of which he will introduce bills in
Congress.
Several days ago the Delegate pre
pared his list to whom the Congres
sional Record will be sent during the
coming session. Every newspaper in
the Territory will receive a copy and
they no doubt will be avaialbe to the
residents of the respective towns who
may wish to refer to them. They will
also be sent to a limited number of
individuals who reside in remote sec
tions of Alaska, and these will also be
available to neighbors who may wish
to read them.
John A. Fleming, acting director
and member of the International Po
lar Year Commission, and who also is
connected with the Carnegie Institu
tion of Washington, has sought the
interest of the Delegate in the effort
to get an appropriation from Con
gress for the compel ion of the Zep
pelin airport at Fairbanks. A pro
gram is now being arranged, for 1932
33, and Mr. Fleming states that in
view of the participation already del
nitely arranged by many other gov
ernments it is a matter of interna
tional concern that our government
should take part as proposed in the!
occupation of the station mar Fair
banks. A bill making provision for
such participation was submitted too
late at tha last Congress to be favor
ably acted upon by boUabouses. How
ever, it had the commendation at
President Hoover; and! wM. be resub
mitted for prompt and) favorable con
sideration at. the. coming session.
i TOPI A LOOMS FOR DRIVERS;
INVENTOR RUNS CAR <ON AIR
LCS ANGELES.—Roy J. Meyers,
inventor, predicts motorists may soon
refill their tanks with air instead of
gasoline.
Meyers yesterday demonstrated, an,,
automobile, with a six-cylinder radial7,
e : g.ne, minus the .usual'earhur-'
a d ignition and .cooling system- ,
„u„ equipped with a compressed.-'air
tank fi.ied to "500 prunds pressure.
He pulled a lever and the car piek
d up speed quickly ;and smoothly;,
with a slight hiss of .air from .the rex->
haust valves. The motor -.was .geared
so the maximum speed reached was
35 miles per hour, ibut Meyers said
that, with a gear shift and a higher
pewered engine, speeds equal to .'.®r
higher than those of gasoline^driven
may be attained.
As the air goes through the engine,
forcing pistons up and down, much of
it i* recaptured and recompressad,
Meyers said. The cooled air returns
to the pressure tank, which is heated
by electricity from batteries and a
generator.
This heating, he explained, itx
pands the air in the tank, increasing
the pressure.
In Iditarod in the spring of 1912,
A. B. erguson, now gone to rest, pre
dicted that the next worthwhile camp
struck in the Northland would be. 20
years hence. In other words, in 1932.
Well, Jack Mutchelr has been read
ing the stars of late and a short time
ago waved “good-by” from a steamer
Alaska bound. He was on his.way to
airbanks, which is his did stamping
grounds, and before leaving confided
in the writer that he swas going to
be on the gground for this ne wstrike.
There are more prospectors in the
hills this winter than for many years j
past, and we trust that Long Fergy's i
prediction may come true.
Jack Mutchler has been on the Out
side for the past four years. How
ever, he pined for the call of the ptar
migan and for the healthy atmos
phere of the North. (Known through
out the Dawson and Fairbanks coun
try—where he pioneered for oven 20
years—Jack will have uuite a joyous
time renewing -the friendships, form-,
ed in the Northland. His brother.
Dave returned to Jthe North this
summer, and George^ another brother,
makes his h»me within a short jaunt
of Fairbanks. In the early days of
Dawson and Fairbanks the Mutdhler
boys were actively engaged in the
freighting business. They had one of
the finest outfits in Che North.—Alas
