CHARGE AGAINST ARC. DISPROVED Elliott Subn(itl Data Show- ing Oldtimers Are Not Being Slighted (Special C spondence.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 21.— There has been some complaint, especially from the Copper River district, that the aska Road Com- mission discriminates st pio- ‘white collar boys in the selection neers in favor of from the outside,” of men to do road work. The matter has been taken up with Major Malcolm Elliott, President of the Commission, Who writes to Delegate Wickersham: “I am heart- ily in sympathy with your idea that the old time askans should be given employment where possible. If you were to go over our roads and persc ly see the men at work, you would be entirely satis- fied that we are observing our pol- jey. 1 also understand that your constituents expect you to aid them in rectifying their grievances, and you may be assured that all such to our attention will cases brought receive careful consideration As you are aware, the working pro- gram on the lower end of the Richardson Highway is decreasing in volume from year to year as the improvements are completed and the road approaches a strictly maintenance status, and this in- evitably means a reduction in our working force Major Elliott of all had a list employees in the Chitina district compiled as of July 1, 1931, giving the name of each employee, the number of years residence in Al- aska and the number of seasons employed by the Alaska Road Com- mission, from which the following summary has been prepared Length of r over 40 years, 20-30 year 10 years, ‘Total 172; dence in / aska Number of seasons worked for A.

C The evident intention of the National Park Service to give en- couragement to the proposition of McKinley National Park, rise to the fear on as given the part of THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, OCT. 9, 1931 miles of the park that the park may be enlarged and extended farther north, so as to include many who would be subject to bureau regulations. But the service in Washington knows of no such intention. Director Horace M. Al- bright has not yet returned from his recent visit to Alaska, where he had to be treated at the hos- pital for appendicitis, and who may have some important an- nouncements to make concerning the future glory of the park. The Post Office Department has ordered the establishment of an of- fice at St. Timothy, more particu- larly designated as Tanana Cross- ing, with E. A. McIntosh as Post-; master. A petition for the estab- hing of a post office at Galona, half way between Ruby and Nulato, is now being considered by the de- partment. The Department of the Interior has had printed and is now cir- culating a very attractive leaflet with the Alaska flag printed in blue with gold stars and a de- scription of the design. It also contains an illustration of totems, with a “Story of the Chief's Daugh- ter," and “Story of the Raven.” W. Hawkesworth, ac- by his wife, has been Charles companied in Washington the past week and | will remain until about the 20th. He is the Acting Chief of the Al- aska Division, Office of Education and Indian Affairs, with head- quarters at Juneau, and is giving his views in connection with the necessary budget to be agreed on.

The logwood brown skins {brought prices as follows: Regular |skins ranged from $14.75 to $32.50, with an average of $19.84; scarred and faulty skins ranged from $12.50 to $21.50, with an average of $16.09; and No. 111 skins sold for $5.75 to $8 per skin, the average being $6.90. The recent death of former Con- gressman Judge William C. Hous- ton, of Tennessee, has caused much sincere regret among his old col- leagues at the National Capital. His memory will always be held in the highest regard by Alaskans who know of his unfailing support of all measures that had to do for the benefit of the Territory. He was in Congress from 1907 until 1921 and was always a strong sup- porter for such measures as civil government for Alaska, the Alaska Railroad, the establishment of the Agricultural College and School of | Mines, etc. Commissioner of Fisheries Henry O'Malley has returned from Alaska to resume his official duties at his | headquarters in Washington.
