Interior Industry Slack Industrial and business enterpris- es which normally give employment to a great many men in interior | Alaska during the summer months | have curtalled their activities ma- terially this year and consequently work there, said Maj. Elllott, who returned here last night after an absence of several weeks. “Things are not as they should be, due to this fact, and to a slackness in the tourist business,” he said. However, there was no actual distress, no breadlines and every community seemed able to care for its own problems. The highway systems of the in- terior are in the best shape in their history, with the exception of a limited section of the Rich- ardson Highway where cloudbursts, during the summer carried ‘away a number of bridges over small moun- |tain streams. These halted traffic for a short time, but temporary |repairs have been effected and next season the bridges will be re- placed.

Elliott said. The wotk au- thorized by him will aid materially in developing the country. In fact, the park reservation will not be allowed to interfere with mining development of the Mt, McKinley region, but park author- ities will encourage prospecting for minerals within its borders, the Major asserted .This is contrary to the general park policy in the States where private enterprise is discouraged in national parks. Open Up Kantishna As an instance, he cited the road programmed through the park to the Kantishna border. This,* he 1.00 1.00 the Kantishna mining district has| m'oa.ch to the Kantishna, a dis- trict rich in minerals and barely scratched on account of inaecessi- bility and the high cost of .trans- portation under éxisting conditions. The region, he -added, is well worthy of development. After the park road is completed, it will be necessary to add to it only eight or 10 miles of new road, adjecent to the park, in order to serve the area. Other Work ' Progressing ‘Rivers and Harbors projects un- der construction are proceeding satisfactorily, said Maj. Elliott. At Ketchikan dredging of Tongass Basin has been co-ordinated with construction of the new Federal | building. Material dredged from the |basin is used in filling the site for the building to be constructed in the near future. The Seward breakwater and ref- uge harbor will be completed with- |in a few days. As soon as this |work is finished, the equipment will |be moved from Seward to the north end of Wrangell Narrows to §1mprove the channel there. Anderson Does Special Work Mr. Anderson, who has spent the summer doing special work for.the Federal agricultural experiment stations, spent several wecks .at Matanuska and Fairbanks. The Matanuska station, he said, |has been well developed by Dr. H. W. Alberts, Chief of the Bervice here, and its organized to cover fully its field. A goodly number of settlers are taking up land in.the |Matanuska Valley. Crops were look- ing good. A ready market has been develop- ed for their produce, especially dairy products. Farmers are receiv- ing 55 cents per pound for butter fat at the Curry creamery, as com- pared to 18 cents paid to dairy farmers in Nebraska. Relief Pastor Presented | Rev. Fenn, who is relieving Dean |Rice for the winter, was intro- duced to the Chamber by the lat- |ter. He said he hoped to keep in close contact with the Chamber \during his stay.
