Peterson, of Teller, is seeking to impress the Government engineers with the importance of improving Grantley Harbor, alleging many advantages which would accrue to the com- merce of Seward Peninsula. In considering the matter Major Gen- eral Yytle Brown, Chief of En- gineers, suggests that nothing can |be done at present because no surveys have ever been authorized of Grantley Harbor. He says that consideration of the question of improvement may be inaugurated inclusion of an appropriate item in the next river and harbor bill calling for an ex- ment at Government expense ap- pears to be warranted. Reside in Washington Two well known characters in the early days of Dawson and Fair- banks are now residents of Wash- sels, in the Division of Appeals, Veterans Bureau, and Fred Mc- Farland, Manager for the Regal Shoe Company. They are always interested in any visitor from the north and have many happy re- collections of early experiences. Cordova Wants Attention The Chamber of Commerce is very desirous.of having their har- bor improved so as to create a shelter for small boats. This mat- ter has been agitated for several years and in the River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927, pro- vision was made for the preliminary examination and survey of Cordova Harbor. The District Engineer made an examination and recom- mended the removal of part of Spike Island shoal to a depth of 20 feet, and the provision of a harbor for small craft south of the City Dock and approach, at an estimated cost of 164,000, with $10,- 000 annually for maintenance. The question then went to the Board of Engineeers for Rivers and Harbors, at Washington, who reviewed the report and decided that while the contruction of a safe harbor for small boats would be a great con- venience yet the benefits derived would not be sufficient to justify the United States in contributing to the cost of the improvement. This report was submitted to Ma- Jor General Lytle Brown, Chief of Engineers, who added*his endorse- ment to it and on November 25, 1929, submitted the report to the Secretary of War for transmission | KPDP—P.

After a residence of nine years in Alaska he came out as a mem- ber of the National Executive Com- mittee of the American Legion, to! attend the annual meeting at In- dnanapolis the middle, of May. He was the only representative from Z. the North and from all accounts talked and preached Alaska to|, such an extent'that the National officers will soon be arranging an excursion party to visit their breth- ern in the Territory and enjoy the great charm of the northland. Mr. Adler was designated by the con- vemtion to take up with Secretary Wilbur the matter of Child Welfare and was very pleasantly received by that official. He also had an interesting visit recently to the White House and the Executive of- fices, thanks to Secretary Lawrence | Ritehie. About Col. Hughes . 1. J. H. Hughes, who will be refiembered as an oldtime resident of Mnterior Alaska and who was asspeiated with Col. Lee Landis in 1 in the management of the Al Railroad, was a Washington visifor recently. He now makes his headlquarters at Wichita, where he is ight and passenger agent for theg Wichita and N. W. Railway, of wi Col. Landis is Receiver. The latter, who was formerly General Mapager of the Alaska Railroad, to Congress. The aid of the Dele- gate is now sought to have the Board of Engineers take a more favorable view of the necessity for this harbor improvement. Kodiak Harbor Survey E. W. Griffin, President of the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, has filed an appeal from the findings of the District Engineer, who re- make a survéy and further exam- ination of Kodiak harbor. The Dele- gate is informed that the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Har- bors will hold a hearing on this appeal at their meetfng in Wash- ington this month, if the matter can be reached then, otherwise it will be held a month later, And the latter is more likely as the ap- peal was only filed a few days ago and many other cases precede it. Radio Applications The Federal Radio Commission has recently granted applications . for service (other than broadeast- ing), in Alaska, as follows: KHV—Northwestern Fisheries Co., Uyak, granted license coastal and KNP — Columbia River Packers Association, Chignik, granted li- cense as above.
