In addition to direct Congressional appropriations, the Federal Government since the beginning of the present Administration has allocatéd through the various branches of the NIRA for expenditure in Alaska, $4,319,820. Most of this has been expended and all of it allocated. This total does not include moneys expended or allocated to the Lighthouse Service and perhaps other agencies in the Ter- ritory. That this vast sum has been a great assistance in maintaining such a degree of prosperity as we 'have had is obvious. Approximate distribution of these funds granted to the Territory of Alaska by the Federal Gov- ernment during the last biennium, beginning in 1933, is as follows: FOR RELIEF (Winter 1933-1934) CWA ALASKA ROAD COMMISSION ........ $ 536,629.00 For Air Field ... .. $ 96,000.00 Mt.

Alaska has made applications for various specific projects exeeeding six million dollars. This sum includes Alaska’s part of the International Highway amounting to approximately $2,000,000. PROGRESS MADE The year just closed has been fairly satisfactory from a material standpoint, notwithstanding that we got off to a bad start due to the strike which interrupted shipping gegirming about May 10 and continuing for about sixty ays. The increase in the value of gold through the action of President Roosevelt from $20.67 to $35 an ounce had a marked effect on prospecting and development work in the gold fields, both quartz and placer. In a lesser degree the increase of 100% in the price of silver con- tributed aid to the situation. Unfortunately, there has been no improvement in the price affecting mining for copper and other base metals. They are still in the doldrums. The salmon pack was largest in the history of the Territory, indicating success for the efforts to maintain the fish supply. The benefits from the advanced prices of gold will become more apparent in the future than they have been in the past. It takes time to make gold discoveries and prose- cute development to the point of utilization. People are now searching for opportunities to make mines, to develop prospects into mines and to increase the development of existing mines. Full use of this advantage ought to be furthered in every possible way. Our greatest hope for immediate improvement in Alaska is through the develop- ment of gold and silver mining. We are right now on the bé‘mk of opportunity so far as this problem is con- cerne ALASKA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE AND SCHOOL OF MINES Every year the valuable work being done by the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines is be- coming more apparent. It is a Territorial institution that deserves well at the hands of the Legislature. It must not be permitted to deteriorate, but must be aided in bringing about further growth and improvement. PIONEERS’ HOME Another institution in which Alaskans all justly take pride is the Pioneers’ Home at Sitka, ancient capital of Alaska. The Territory’s Pioneers’ Home Building Fund having reached $225,000, the last Territorial Legislature appointed a building commission which was charged with the erection of the new Home. Mr. William A. Hesse, Territorial Highway Commissioner and Superintendent of Public Works, was named as Chairman of the commis- sion. Associated with him were Mr. Frank A. Boyle, Ter- ritorial Auditor; Mr. James S. Truitt, Attorney General for Alaska; Mr. Walstein G. Smith, Territorial Treasurer, and Mr. Anthony E. Karnes, Territorial Commissioner of Edu- cation. This building was started in the early summer of last year. The pioneers were moved into temporary quarters, pending the completion of the building. They were moved into the new building January 10, 1935. It is a fine structure, a substantial and economical building, and presents a very attractive architectural agpenrflnce. There is some work yet to be done, including the furnishing of HIT SHORE WON'T HOLP YORE 'LECTION NOHOW | .

ThlS is a matter for congratulation and is a token that the work started by the First Alaska Legislature to provide a home for pioneer residents of the Territory will continue to be) a feature of government in Alaska. This larger and more| ’ commodious home will add to the cost of maintenance, but I am sure that the Legislators will cheerfully grant; that. ! AENURE OF TERRITORIAL TREASURER i At the first c: the year a perplexing problem arose | as to whether or not the Treasurer’s tenure of office should | cease at the first of the year and his successor take office, or whether it should continue to April 1. Mr. Walstein| G. Smith was elected for a four-year term beginning April 1, 1931. The Territorial Legislature advanced the date{ for the beginning of the Treasurer’s term of office to| January 1. The perplexing question referred to was whether Mr. Oscar G. Olson should assume the duties of | the office January 1, or whether Mr, Smith should continue until April 1. The Attorney-General was consulted and the Admxmstratlve Board. They decided that Mr. Olson | should take the oath of office immediately at the first of | the year and Mr. Smith should continue as Treasurer until| April 1 with Mr. Olson in the office with him. The Admin-| istrative Board decided to ask the Legislature to make an| appropriation covering Mr. Olson’s salary from January | 1 until April 1 when he will assume the duties of the| Territorial Treasurer’s office. The Administrative Board is of the opinion that the! terms of all of the Territorial officers should begin April 1 and terminate March 31. This would enable those in charge of the office, while the Legislature is in session, to be familiar with the work and conditions of their office and would be more ‘valuable to the Legislature, than if new people took charge of the various offices practically at the same time the legislative session began. COOPERATION It is worth while to make record of the splendid coperation of the various Territorial and Federal Officers and Boards functioning in the Territory, and the Govern- ment at Washington. 1 look forward to working with the Legislature for the next sixty days in the intefest of Alaska as a priv- ilege, and whatever we do let no one of us forget that Alaska is one Territory and its people one people. Let us not permit sectional ambition or rivalry to divide us and let us eliminate quarreling and bickering and strife. Respectfully submitted, JOHN W.

Ward 1s one of the best remem- bered for he played on the first champlonship Giant teams in 1888 and '89. McGraw always thought kindly of Bill Dahlen for he play- ed short on McGraw's first cham- pionship club in 1904. Bartells Spirit Dahlen was a shortstop much on the order of Dick Bartell, a scrappy fellow with a penchant for Becoming involved with the op- posing players. But Bill could play a lot of ball and McGraw was not one to hate a bit of scrappi- ness in his players. Fletcher was rated as McGraw’s best shortstop until Bancroft came along—then it was a toss-up be- tween the two. Jackson showed the spark of greatness but was annoyed by leg trouble much of his career. Bartell is just the type of ball player who can revitalize the Giant team which failed so completely in the final stage of the 1934 pen- nant race. Mild-mannered and quiet off the ball field, Bartell is a different man once he feels his spikes dig into the diamond. Then every ball game becomes a personal bat- tle, worth spending every possible effort to win. Often his enthusiasm gets him into hot water. His unwillingness to give way to any man on the base paths was responsible for his fracas with Linus- Prey, of the Brooklyn Dodgers, and has earned and Johnny Vergez, who changed uniforms in the trade between the Phils and the Giants, have been fast friends since boyhood and played together on the same high school baseball team. ———— e GOV.
