Selection of Juneau as the next convention for the Alaska Department of the American Legion, & move anticipated before the gathering at Seward, gives the capital city of Alaska an excellent oppor- tunity to show what it can do in a convention way. The 1936 Legion session in Juneau can be one of the greatest conventions in the history of the de- partment but it will require the concerted effort of every member of the Alford John Bradford Post here and the full co-operation of every citizen not affiliated with the Legion. Anthony E. Karnes, of Juneau, Commissioner of Education, has been fittingly honored by being nam- ed Commander for the coming year. Several other Juneau men and women have been chosen to serve as officers in the Legion and Auxiliary. Mrs. R. J. McKanna, former President of the Auxiliary here and wife of Bob McKanna, ex-Commander of the Juneau Post, has been named to head the Depart- ment Auxiliary. With these excellent selections, the groundwork has been laid for a ’36 convention par excelence. It will now be a matter of whole- hearted support in carrying the event through to a successful conclusion. Juneau has potentially, if not in actual member- ship, the largest Post in the Territory. It can with full backing of the community establish Juneau as the best convention city in Alaska. That should be the goal. It means work, lots of it, and it can, not be started too early. Let's make it Legion Year in Juneau. NOME CARRIES ON. The fortitude of “Alaskans in times of distress| afid their determination and success in always weathering the storm has often been revealed but no finer example can be found than the courage with which the residents of Nome have carried on during the last year and the spirit with which they are looking forward to the future. Due to delay and contributing causes, mainly unforeseen, building through public works funds has been a litle slow at Nome this summer, but that progress has been made, with residents of the northern city looking forward to next summer with nope and courage for completion of the program, is evident. The Nome Nugget paints the picture in these words: Today, looking backward for one year, we see the progress, inspiring initiative and enterprise of the business people of Nome. They have erected new buildings; streets have been straightened out; blocks have been re- allocated in lots to make a business district lished themselves and are again doing busi- ness, in most cases, in modern well-built, and efficiently equipped stores. ‘The period of progress in Nome has beer ever toward advancement during the past year. Business conditions have been better than of recent years. And, as if to repay for the terrible damage done September 17 last year, this summer has been one of the most promising for mining in many years. Water—the crying need of the miner has been plentiful this year and at no time has it been so short that operations have had to be curtailed. The outlook for the Nome section this fall is far in the lead of a year ago. Better mining, better business, with the resulting benefit to Nome is not just a dream or a phrase—around the corner—it is clearly in- dicated in the conditions in Nome itself. Two days before the fire last year Nome had already recognized the lift that both business and living conditions had exper- ienced. Nome was preparing for a busy winter and an even greater season of mining in 1935. But—Nome experienced a fire which set it back in its march to increased pros- perity, and a new sphere of life. Looking at the conditions as they are today—we have every optimism that Nome is firmly established on the road to perma- nent recovery. It is no haphazard judgment which says that with the disasters of a fire behind us, we look forward with greater anticipation than ever before to the march of recovery and the advancement of all lines for human work and endeavor in this section, The nation welcomes the news from Moscow that Senator James Hamilton Lewis is recovering from an attack of pneumonia. The colorful J. Ham has won undying fame with his pink whiskers but there isn't even a tinge of red about his sterling Amer- icanism, even if he is on a visit to the Soviet. Al Smith's right. Communionism is a much better tonic for human ills than Communism. An expert, says Tenakee Tim, is a man 100 miles away from home who gets $100 a day. WHAT CONGRESS DIiD, 1935, The longest session of Congress since 1922 has come to a close and a wide range of important legislation was enacted into law. In an effort to give a more thorough in- sight into the various measures adopted, The Empire is presenting a series of summaries of the major bills passed into law.

The functions of the City Government—its fire fighting system; drain; wide, spacious streets and sidewalks—are even now under work of rehabilitation. Undaunted, those who were completely wiped out by the fire have, with great fortitude and determination, reestab- engaged in mining, milling or smelting ores.

Drake saw them die of poisoning, placed the bodies in an automobile, and allowed the machine to plunge off the pier, he told the police. Drake said that his aunt and un- cle “keeled over” from poison in their home last PFriday night. He denied that he had administered the poison, but offered no explanation as to how they came to their deaths. Condaffer said Drake told him he kept the bodies in the house more than four hours before he de- cided to take them to San Pedro and plunge the automobile carrying them into the water. He said he did this because he was ‘“panic- stricken.” Condaffer said the youth would be held on suspicion of murder without bail. Drake confessed that he had forged his uncle’s name to checks and that he was the beneficiary un- der his uncle’s will and also bene- caping a prison term for the theft of an automobile and feared this disgrace would have caused the|Of the Norlitemen, organization of | death of his aunt and he determ- ined to kill her. {DAUGHTER BORN TO' | MR.
