new bureau. 1
The Delegate was stricken, with an
attack of acute appendicitis yester
day afternoon. Within less than an
hour after the ailment had been diag
■ nosed, his. appendix had been re
moved. This morning he was resting
easily, but. it will be tea days or two
weeks before he is able to leave the
hospital. The surgeon who .performed
the operation said it was done none
too soon,, as the appendix was ready
to burst. Mr. Dimond had not heen
feeling, well for some time, hut his
illness... did. not-takeya serious turn
until the day.,of ..the operation. Friends
of.. Alaska, both in the House and the
Sknate. have kindly. Rromised to pro
tect the .Territory’s interests during
the Delegate’s, enforced., absence.. j
Delegate Difon^L projected himself,
into the roughiand tumble.* of. House
debate Thursday and Friday, of last,
week and-succeeded in hi3 efforts to!
have Alaska included, withirn thecpro
visions of the bill, to protect owners
of small homes.
The bill as originally drawn did not
specifically exclude Alaska, but the.
Delegate was fearful that the Terri
tory might be so excluded hy admin
istrative decision and that his his
tears .were justified, he found out.
after first failing to have the amend*
ment adopted.
Hjs original amendment, included
Alaska, Hawaii,., Puerto Rico, the Disr
trict of i Columbia and the Virgin
Islands. Shortly before it. was readi
a-Republican member who had been
attempting to get, the floor to explain
an amendment he was sponsoring
was forced to resume his seat upon:
Democratic, objection,, and. the.- Repuht
lican promptly retaliated by object
ing thereafter .every time; a Democrat
arose. Unfortunately Delegate Di
f
mond met the same fate as many an
other, and he had no opportunity
whatever to tell the House why his
amendment should be accepted. In
the din of the chamber it is probable ,
that not more than a handful knew
what the amendment was about when
the vote was taken.
After the session had ended the
Delegate, upon the advice of Repre- ,
sentative Luce of Massachusetts, who
proved himself most helpful, talked
to the president of the Farm Loan
Bank Board and was informed that
ihe Territories would be excluded un
less the bill did contain a specific pro
vision to the contrary. Immediately
the Delegate got busy. He drew an
other amendment, including only
Alaska and Hawaii, so that a point
«f cider could not be made when he
got the floor. Also he did much mis
sionary work among leading mem- '
beis, explaining the matter to them
and receiving assurances of support.
When Friday came the Delegate
^nanaged to get his amendment ,
through, which means that owners of
small homes in Alaska, who find
themselves pressed in paying for
them, will be. entitled to a. measure
of relief through, the Federal Gov
ernment..
Mr. Dimond. spoke, on the amend
ment for several minutes and whan
he had finished with his argument
there was no objection, to. its adop
tion^. —
Two positions in the federal service:
are open for pharmacists, if there be
apy such in Alaska looking for em
inent. The job of junior pharmacist
pays $2,000 annually and that of as
sistant pharmacist aide $1,620 a year.
The applicants must be under 3S
years of age, unless they are vet
erans. Full information may be se
cured from the U. S. Civil Service
Commission.
