transfer the Alaska Road Commis
won from the War Department to
the Interior Department. It develops
that there has been no such order is
sued. However, the transfer is in
* line with the coordination idea of the
Administration, and the War Depart
ment has , recommended that the
% change be made, as the Interiir De
partment is already operating the
Alaska Railroad and the river steamer
service in the Territory, and it is ar
gued that all governmental lines of
\ 'ransportation and rooad facilities
should be under one department. To
transfer the Alaska Road Commis
sion it is necessary that there be
'Congressional action, and it is under
stood that a Senator is preparing a
expected that rivers and harbors
hill for early introduction. It is not
work would he taken from the United
n States Engineer Board.
Complaint comes from Alaska that
the act enlarging the McKinley Na
% tional Park will prove detrimental to
those persons in the park who have
mineral locations or fur farms. There
is a proviso that the passage of the
bill “shall not affect the rights of any
such claimant, locator or entryman to
the full use and enjoyment of his
land.”’
The Senate instructed its appro
'* priations committee to reduce the
total of the amount allowed in the
House bill to the Department of the
Interior hy 10 per cent. This was
done, and in the bill as passed by the
Senate most of the reductions were
v, sustained. As a result Alaska is af
fected,, and the Alaska Railroad ap
propriation was cut from $500,000 to
$450,000. However, a clause was in
* serted to> include “operation and
maintenance of agriculture experi
ment stations heretofore operated by
ike Department of Agriculture on the
line of the railroad.” In making the
appropriation of $34,300 for support
of reindeer stations in Alaska the
following clause was inserted: “Pro
vided, That ne part of this appropria
* ‘Son shall be available for the pay
ment of employees who are not ex
perienced ia animal husbandry.”

An Alaska constituent who has
been receiving $6 8per month pension
for partial disability writes to in
quire what amount in a lump sum
settlement he would be entitled to
receive. The Delegate took the mat
ter up with the United States Em
poyees Compensation Commission and
the chairman ends a letter of in
formation with the following state
ment: “The Commission has found,
from experience, that the payment of
a ump sum in lieu of regular install
ments of compensation is not advisa
ble in the interest of the injured em
ployee. The unsatisfactory experi
ence which has followed where lump
sum settlements have been made has
caused the Commission to practically
discontinue making this form of set
tlement. In the case of an employee
well advanced in years, the payment
of compensation in regular monthly |
installments would appear to be much
more advantageous than the payment;
of a lump sum. It would, at least, i
insure the injured employee a regular;
income which would enable him to be j
self-supporting during the remainder j
of his life and he would not be left j
to the uncertainty of safety investing j
the proceeds of a lump sum pay-1
ment.”
The Senate has reduced the sum I
appropriated by the House for the J
$090,000 to $650,000. The large re
education of natives of Alaska from 1
duction is $25,000 for salaries and
$10,000 for equipment, etc. The rest
is for travel expense and repairs.
There is nithing allowed for operat
ing the vessel Boxer, which is to be
succeeded this summer by the new
North Star, which will be finished and
operating this month. No salary has
been allowed for employees of the
Shoemaker day school, which has just
been completed near Wrangell, and it
is feared that this school will not be
able to open for another year unless
more consideration is given its ne
cessities in the conference between
th Senate and House committees.

The United States eGological Sur
vey, Department of the Interior, an
nounces the completion of a manu-:
srript. report on the Mount Eielson
mining district, Alaska, by John C.
Reed. This is one of the reports re
sulting from ' tthe special study of
mineral resources in the area tribu
tary to the Alaska Railroad carried
on during the field season of 1931.
Three Boy Scouts, who cai-ved the
best totem poles in a nationwide con
test among the members of that or
ganziation, were, on April 13, awai'd
ed prize trips to Alaska. The contest
was held under the auspices of the
Department of the Interior, and the j
awards were announced by Secretary j
Wilbur. The winner of the first
prize, which is to be a trip to Sew
ard, Alaska, Mount McKinley Na
tional Park, and the town of Fair
banks, was won by Blanchard Ken
nedy, of Columbus, Misessippi. Blan
chard is 17 years of age. All his ex
penses will be paid from Mississippi
,to Fairbanks, and return again to his
home. The winner of the second prize
was John Potseh, of icero, Illinois.
His trip is not as ong as that of the
Mississippi boy, since it extends only
to Seward and return. John, .^lso, is
17 years of age. The third prize was
\von by William E. Mueller, of El
Pasco, Texas. William is 14 jpecars of
age. His trip will carry him as far
as Skagway, Alaska, and return.
Grandma—Didn’t your father know
I was coming, Jimmie?
