Some means should be provided to afford the Eskimo associations an income with which to properly care for their herds and furnish them some of the advantages of ownership,” said Mr. Baldwin.

These properties, eontrolled by the Hallum family, adjoin the Ebner property on the west. As the Ebner is now controlled | by the Alaska Juneau under a working agreement with the Unit- ed States Smelting & Refining Company, the new deal gives the company a large additional area) to its own holdings. The company plans immediate exploratory work on the Dora and} Hallum ground, Mr. Metzgar said. A camp is now being established and a crew of 12 men will be em- iployed at work. It is planned to drive tunnels and do some cross- cutting. A compressor for air drill operations will be installed at once. The permanent work that will be done in development of the ground will depend upon the showings of the exp]gratory campaign, Mr. Metzgar said. {SENATOR DUNN ILL | CONDITION GRAVE Senator John Dunn, veteran Fourth Division Legislator. was rushed to St. Ann’s Hospital this afternoon seriously ill, and his- con- Idmun was at first considered dan- | gerous. Later this afternoon his| | physician, Dr. W. W. Council, said | there were indications of improve- ment but it would be a day or two before he could be said to be out| of danger. Senator Dunn suffered from a| severe cold for several days at the opening of the present term of the Legislature, but had thrown this off. This morning when he arose in his room at the Bergmann' he fainted, later recovering con-| sciousness and was able to !back to his bed unaided. Attend- ants at the Bergmann discovered his illness early this afternoon \and he was rushed to the hos- | pital. get | vesterday stressed the importance President for the Fourth Division, presided.

Put Up to Chambers Nome, Fairbanks. Anchorage, Sew- ard, Valdez, Cordova. Wrangell and Juneau had delegates at yester- day's meeting and in J. E. John- son, Ketchikan had an “unofficial observer.” Only two groups were at liberty to pledge their own or- ganizations for affiliation with the Independent Re publicans and Democrats Are Agreed, Says Hull central Chamber. These were Nome and Seward. Senator Alfred J. Lomen, Vice-President for the Sec- ond Division, was first on the floor to assure the delegates that Nome was ready to go ahead with its share of the undertaking, and Rep- resentative Cal M. Brosius made the same pledge for Seward. The outcome of the movement is problematical. Delegates yesterday were instructed to advise their Chambers of the status of the or- ganization and ask for a final de- cision on affiliation. If a majority of them will perfect membership on the plan of two years ago, it is certain that the centraliza- tion movement will go through. Fees Are Light It is estimated that the revenue available from membership fees and assessments would aggregate about $1.000 per year. Each Chamber af- filiating is required to pay a sml membership fee and is, in addi- tion, assessed $1 for each member of its own body. The income would be used in employment of a part time secretary and finance as many other activities as possible. Two years ago, all of the Cham- bers with the exception of Ketchi- kan which declined to enter the organization, expressed a willing- ness to affiliate. Only two, how-{ over, Juneau and Nome, offered to| carry out the final step. G. H. Walmsley, Secretary of the local Chamber. and Mr. Brosius of perfecting the central Chamber plan. The former pointed out that it could not be entirley fi- nanced by the membership plan. | List of Delegates Delegates attending yesterday's meeting included: R. E. Robertson, G. H. Walmsley, Henry Roden and Allen Shattuck for the Juneau Chamber; Alfred J. Lomen, Clff] M. Allyn, Andrew Nylan, and R. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 14. —Ambitious Democrats and Inde-|is making a thorough study of the| pendent Republicans, working to. ward a union of ideas in hope of getting political supremacy in 1932| by- underground courtship, broke out again today. United States Senator George W. Norris thinks the country needs a Progressive President but said the only hope for this is through the Democrats. Senator Cordell Hull, Democrat of Tennessee, agreed that the Democrats and Independents had the same ideas. Both concede the Republicans will nominate Hoover, he said. Senator Hull did not commit himself on a Presidential nominee but Norris wants “another Roose- velt in the White House.” Senator Thaddeus H. Caraway, Democrat of Arkansas, said if the Democrafs do not choose Senator Joseph T. Robinson as a candidate for the Presidency, he favors Gov- ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt, now of New York State. - - DEMAND NOW terday afternoon by Dr. H. D.
