SMALL HOPE FOR
LEGISLATION OH
MAJOR SOBIECTS
_
Short Session of Congress
Forecast Preventing Ac- J
tion in Big Questions.
That there is but little hope for;
any important legislation affecting
Alask.. to be passed by the Congress
which convenes next December was!
learned today. This, it was said.j
is the concensus of opinion of Ad-,
ministration leaders and was voiced j
by some members of the Presldentail j
party who are close to President!
'Harding.
The fact that the session which
is expected to be a short one which
will probably be laced with Import
ant legislation affecting national in
terests is regarded as sufficient to
prevent Congressional action on Al
askan matters of any great import
ance. This view is in accord with
that held by Gov. Scott C. lions'
who believes, however, that it will
be possible to get action on matter*
not regarded generally as being of
major importance.
Congress, It is believed, will be in
session from December until March
and will not likely take up major
Alaskan matters, said Governor
Bone. There are some tilings, he
added, that will tie brought to its
attention and there is every reason
to believe they will receive favorable
consideration, he said.
MYLES F. M'DONNELL
WILL LEAVE FOR N.Y.
END OF THIS MONTH
Myle* F. McDonnell, who has been
e resident of this city since the be
ginning of 1920, has accepted a
position with a large New York
manufacturing concern and he and
Mrs. McDonnell and their little girls
will leave here the latter pant of
the present month for the metrop
olis.
Mr. McDonnell came to Juneau in!
January, 1920, as the representative I
of the American Paper Company, j
Hater, after the death of Sidney'
Jacobs, he was also made Alaska;
representative of the Swift parking;
house products. In both positions hej
made good, and he has made friends
fcr himself and those who he rep
resented throughout the North.
Hundreds of friends of Mr. and,
Mrs. McDonnell in Juneau, as well:
as Mr. McDonnell's friends through ;
out the Territory, regret that he has
been called away from this Terri
tory. None ever more quickly be
came Alaskans lu every sense of the
world notwithstanding that they;
came to this frontier country dl ,
rectly front the great metropolis.
The New York manufacturing |
house which at last has secured Mr.
McDonnell's services has been mak
ing him offers for a long time andi
urging him to join It. At last anj
offer was made that was so attrac
tive that he could not refuse it.
“I dislike to leave Alaska,” said j
Mr. McDonnell, "I like the country
and the people 1 have met here. f|
have unlimited confidence In the.
future of Alaska. It is now a good!
country and will grow better. 1]
like the people whom 1 have been;
doing business for and with. 1 have
been treated iine. 1 am leaving1
simply because 1 have been offered
business connections that 1 cannot
refuse."
