Notes Fresh Progress resh civic progress was nolod‘ here by Mr. McDonald, who bi-| ennially visits Juneau as Super-| visor of Chugach National Forest.| Every time, he said, he came here hr. saw evidences of development, such as new streets, additional| school facilities, new busine: '!ru(‘,-" tures, etc. “The most nota ad- dition to the town I see this year is the splendid new Federal build-| ing just completed. I am sure that the Chamber of Commerce has had| much to do with all these im-| provements,” he added. | He extended greetings from the Cordova Chamber and voiced an assurance it would continue to work in harmony with Juneau and other Alaska communities on a srogressive development program, Outside of a mysterious lizard,’ | he said, referring to the rare pike whale specimen discovered near Valdez and at first thought to be som> relic of unrecorded antiquitv.| “Cordova has had o normal year.”| No Funds A.ailable No funds for the establishment of an air mail route between South- east Alaska and Seattle are at pres- ent available, said a Delegate Sutherland, who, at the request of the Chamber, conferred with Post Office’ Department offi-| cials on this project. He was ad- vised the route would be considered when the Department makes up its cstimates for the next fiscal year This matter, the Delegate added, would be turned over to his succes-| sor, Judge James Wickersham. The Chamber today voiced its ab]ccuon to the Government per- mitting the importation from Rus- sia of pulpwood and soft wood| produced by enforced labor. It en- dorsed a measure now before Con- gress prohibiting such importation | and telegraphed Delegate Suther-| land regarding its position on the| matter. Libby Employing Alaskans Libby, McNeill & Libby, in re- sponse to a telegram from the| Chamber, replied it would employ | more Alaska labor this year than cver in its salmon cannery opera- tions. The Chamber has asked all| canneries to employ all labor in the Territory in making| up its crews and before hiring non- residents. The Libby interests wired the| Chamber as follows: “While we do not intend running all of our cannerles in Alaska this| year to full capacity, we are figur- ing on hiring more help in Alaska | kans for the 1931 season. Our Taku George Inlet and Craig canneries will hire approximately 200 Alas- kans fo rthe 1931 season. Our Taku cannery has already arranged to employ approximately 40 people| from Juneau and immediate v\cln-] ity. This does not include Yaknu- tat and Kenai. These two canner- ies use all the unemployed at these points each year.” ‘The Chamber is listing the un- employed here and will be able to furnish all the canners with in- formation needed if they follow| the local suggestion.

Kvale, the only Farmer- Labor member of the Lower House the smallest in population. The fact that he is the only Farmer-Laborite in Minnesota's Congressional delegation, all the other members being Republicans, and that the legislature which makes the reapportionment is also of strong Republican sympathies, may also count against the chances for his district. Even though he may lose his dis- trict, however, Kvale is regarded as a strong candidate for re-elec- tion in 1932 because of strong Farmer- Labor sentiment in areas which may be absorbed, and in which he would continue as a resident. He is expected to occupy a key position in the organization of the next Congress because of the near balance of power between Demo- crats and Republicans.
