12TH YEAR OF ALASKA COL
LEGE TO BE 25 PER CENT BET- j
TER THAN ANY FORMER YEAR
COLLEGE, July 18.—Although the
best information from Washington
indicates that the Federal land grant
college funds may not suffer a reduc
tion of 25 per cent, the fact is, never
theless, that the Director of Experi
ment Station and the Director of Ex
tension have been directed to prepare
their budgets for the year 1932-1934
upon a 25 per cent reduction basis.
At a meeting of the Board of Trus
tees held on the 3rd of July President.
Bunnell submitted a plan of reorgan
' ization to meet a reduction of §12,500,
or 25 per cent of the §50,000 received |
annually under the provisions of the j
Morill Act. The plan was adopted, i
Since practicaly all of the fund of
$60,000 has been used tq pay salaries
of members of the faculty it was a
fuestion of either reducing all sal
aries or of reducing the number of |
the faculty in order to be within the ;
limit of $37,500.
The Board of Trustees in preparing
its budget for the 1933-1935 biennium
cut all salaries 10 per cent. The Ter
ritorial Legislature accepted this bud- j
get and made appropriations accord
ingly. It was not thought advisable
to make further salary cuts, so the
alternative of dropping some mem
bers of the faculty and increasing the
duties of those retained was adopted.
The department of civil engineer
ing and mathematics will lose In
structor Fred Beeler. This means
that Professors Duckering and Huber
will have to carry increased teaching
loads. Mr. Beeler has been an in
structor in this department for two
years and has rendered a very effi
cient service. He was graduated from
the College in the class of ’31. For
■Mr. Beeler it simply means that he
will begin post graduate work a year
earlier than he had formerly planned.
He will probably enroll at the Uni
versity of Michigan.
Professor Cecil F. Robe will enter
the graduate school of Harvard and
work for a doctor’s degree in history.
Professor Robe has been with the
College four years in the capacity of
professor of history and social scien
professor of history and. social
science. Graduated from the Uni
versity of Oregon in 1932, he re
ceived his master’s degree from the
University of Washington in 1929.
Both Professor and Mrs. Robe will be
greatly missed in the faculty group.
Two year leaves of absence have been
granted to Professor Robe and Mr.
Beeler.
Professor F. M. Potts, head of the
business administration department,
is on leave of absence, li has been
decided not to make an appointment
to in. this vacancy. For the coming
year Carl M. Frank!))., who s
as instructor in accounting, ■ will n
fact be the head of the department.
He will be assisted by other members
of the faculty to whom some of the
courses scheduled in this department
will be assigned.
To succeed Miss Cecelia Robinson,
who for the past three years has been
dormitory hostess and instiuctor in
Spanish, President Bunnell announced
the appointment of Miss Mary
Walker, of Walla Walla. Miss Walk
er, a graduate of Whitman College,
has her master’s degree from Wash
ington State College., Miss Walker,
in addition to her duties as dormitory
hostess, will carry a teaching load in
cluding the history courses formerly
taught by Professor Robe and such
courses as may be assigned to her in
the business administration depart
ment.
Courses on the regular schedule
and not provided for by the appoint
ment of Miss Walker will be taught
by Professors Wilkerson, Ryan, Hon
rjckson, Franklin, Dean Patty, and
President Bunnell.
In order to effect this adjustment
there will be no lack of cooperation
on the part of faculty members. The
proble marises not only for the Alas
ka Agricultural College and School of
Mines but for every other land grant
college.
The problem as far as the Alaska
College is concerned is solved, and all
students are assured that a full mea
sure of service will await them with
the opening of College on the 15th of
September. As a matter of fact the
measure will be heaped up for this,
the twelfth year of the College, in
spite of a 25 per cent cut in Federal
funds, is going to be at least 25 per
cent better than any former year.
KLONDIKE KING OUSTED
FROM CONTROL OF MINES
(Apchorage Times)
One of the biggest lawsuits ever
hel din connection with mining in the
Northland was concluded on June 23
when judgment was rendered which
eliminates A. N. C. Tread gold from
management of the Yukon Consoli
dated Gold corporation, controlling
practically* the entire Klondike gold
fields and involvin gmillions of dol
lars.
Treadgold for more than 30 years
has been the biggest figure in the
Klondike, and organized the fifteen
million-dollar corporation of the Gug
genheims, which worked out 100 miles
of placers on Hunker, Bonanza and
Eldorado creeks in that famous camp.
Later he organized the present com
pany, which has a fleet of six dredges
working on another 100 miles of the
pay gravels of the creeks. According
ousted, and A. E. Austin, well known
to present judgment, Treadgold is
Fairbanks dredge man, who formerly

was in the Kondike with the Guggs,
and later in Iditarod and other Alaska
camps, is now manager of the new
' company.
Treadgold was ousted in a tral last
year ,but the court reporter who took
down the official notes in the hearing
died before the notes could be tran
scribed, thus necessitating another
trial this year. The verdict was the
same in both cases. The Dawson
News reports the decision in the last
trial in its issue of June 24 as fol
lows :
“A wire has been received by C. JL
McLead, local solicito rand director
of the Yukon Consolidated Gold Cor
poration, Limited, that judgment was
rendered on June 23 in the case of
Patton et al. vs. Treadgold at al.
“By the judgment the plaintiffs and
the company gained complete victory
against Treadgold, all of' whose,
shares in the company were canceled.
Furthermore, certain assets and
moneys which Treadgold had appro
priated were found to be the property
of the company.
“The case was tried before Mr. Jus
otice Davis in Toronto, and ran cua
tinjuousiy from May 20 to June 23. It.
will be recalled that a similar judg
ment was rendered in March, 1932, by
Judge Raney, the new trial having
been ordered because of the death of
the court reporter who took the evi
dence at the first trial.
“In anticipation of the favorable
result of th eaction the bqad of direc
tors of The Yukon Consolidated Gold
Corporation has appointed £. A. Aus
tin as general manager of the com
pany .with R. E. Franklin as assistant
manager. With the elimination of
Treadgold fro mparticipation in the
company’s affairs it is expected that
a development program along sound
and construcive lines will be laid out.”
