THEMUKLUK TRAIL
By J$; D. Bartlett
WASHINGTON, June 12—One of
th&Mn.ost * yerpleKing- problems, in
Alaska for several years past, insofar
as the Federal Government is con
cerned, seems to have been the tein
deer industry, and that it has not
been solved entirely to the satisfac
tion; of the new administration is in
dicated by the fact that the Depart
ment of the Interior has detailed ah
investigator, to go to Alaska . and
make another study of the industry.
He is Roy Nash, and he will make an
exhaustive survey of the whole rein
deer business; JVIr. 'Nash’s headquar
ters will be at Nome, but. he will
travel widely about Seward Peninsula,
the Kuskokwim .and; other points)
where herd sare .located. It will be
remembered that .only last year Mr.
Gilman and Mr. Trowbridge were in
Alaska on a similar ipisstion, their
study having followed hearings be
fore he Kendrick committee.
The Capitol was a scene of excite
ment last Saturday night as an effort
was y made to adjojjrh the Congress
before the opening of the World Eco
nomic Conference in. London today.
After both houss had been in session,
from 10 a. m. until;,almost midnight
the adjournment' effor was dropped"
as the Senate refused to approve
without further study a last minute
Presidential request .for extensive de
partmental reorganisation;
The National Reeqyery Act, in
which is incorporated the Public
Works Act, passed the Senate with
Alaska fully protected- • as ^regards
highways approprjfttii&g* As origin
ally dr awn, there^wasmo^question but
that other kins of -pu^liq-work* could 5
he carried on therejiu-iThe ffthighway
section, however, was a matter of
grave doubt. The Delegate Secured
he cooperaion of several Senaors, and
the bill aspassed by the Senate makes
it possible for roads in Alaska to be
iconstructed, repaired or improved
from public work s appropriations,
and it is not thought likely that this
section will be changed in confer
ence.
_A recent caller at Delegate Di
mond’s office was Charles V. Leckie;
A brother-in-law of Judge1. Oveffield,
he was deputy clerk of court at Fair
banks from 1912 to 1915 under Judges
Overfield and Fuller, and laterlived
on the coast. He was last in Alaska
in 1929 and came to Washington the
following year to live with his invalid
mother.
Three Alaska nominations weE&
confirmed by the Senate Saturday..
William A. Holzheimer was named; as
United States Atorney in ther. Hirst.
Division, and Ralph Jt Rivfers -as
United States Attorney in the ■Fbftrtlr'
division. Joe McDonald hecijnues

The steamer Tana arrived at Me-.

All is in Teadinrss for the big

L/O-ifilK)N—The American delega
tion to the World Economic Confer
ence made a startling move which
[mugr delegates interpreted as serv
| ing formal notice on. the assemblage
| to the effect that the United States
will not consider the stabilization of
| the dollar before the conference
adopts Roosevelt’s program for re
moval of international trade barriers^
This new move was made by the of-j
feting' of a resolution by Cordell
Hull, heading the American delega
tion. and acting under instructions;
froxn Roosevelt. The motiomcalls for
the removal of trade barriers.
The opinion is freely expressed in
the lobbies that this motion by Hull
is America’s answer to the fierce
campaign which France and other
gold Use countries have been waging
to fine the United Sates to stabilize
Hie dollar before the conference deals
with other subjects.
