PARKS REPORTS CONDITION GOOD IN TERRITORY Improvement Is Reflected Everywhere with Mining Universally Stimulated Mining throughout Alaska has been greatly stimulated this pas summer with the increase in th price of gold and conditione every- where appear much better, accord- ing to former Governor George A. Parks, U. 8. District Cadastral En- gineer, who returned yesterday on the Alaska after an extended trip to various places in the Territory in connection with surveys being car- ried on by his office. Mr. Parks visited Circle, Fair- banks, McKinley park, Anchorage Cordova, Nabesna and other places and everywhere found things show- ing marked improvement. Officials at the park told him a 30 percent increase in tourist travel to the park was recorded this summer and the future looks especially opti- mistic for the great natural outdoor playground. At Fairbanks, with its new bank, city hall and other improvements, the city had an air of definite pros- perity, he said, and other cities re- flected the same condition.

It is expected that both crews will be in the field until well along in November, Mr. Parks said. Another Public Survey office crew under U. 8. Transitman Charles P.

LeFevre of the Parade Com- mittee for the celebration marking the opening df the Douglas Bridge, at the Chamber of Commerce lunch- eon at Bailey’s Cafe today. It is impossible to provide a com- Plete and accurate pragram of the parade, Judge Le Fevre said, as changes and variations arise from day to day. The parade will start from Triangle Place at 1:30 Sunday afternoon and will be led by a Color Guard from the Tallapoosa. A. E. Karnes, Commissioner of Education, who returned yesterday on the Alaska from a two months tour of the Territory, was also a speaker at the Chamber of Com- | merce luncheon. Karnes reported a great deal of building construc- | tion and civic improvement in Nome | and stated that the Matanuska col- onists are probably more contented than people in other localities. *I have been asked if the Matanuska Colonization project will be a suc- | cess,” Karnes said, “and I said that it will—so that's that.” W. A. Pries, of the Annette Is-| land Canning Company at Metla- katla, J. R. Reynolds, of the Saw-| yer and Reynolds logging company, | and L. C. Falkenhagen, sales man- ager of Marshall Wells Company, Portland, were guests at the Cham- ber of Commerce luncheon. ————— LIEF ERICSON DANCE The Sons of Norway Dance, held last night at Moose Hall in honor of Lief Ericson and his discovery of America, was a great success. | A, three-piece orchestra, headed by | Harry Krane, supplied the music | -on, | partment — Roy Hoffman, George state: T Jetter stated in part “The Committee selected by the Industry to conduct this extended campaign consists of William Tim- President of the Alaska Pack- ers Association, ¢f the Associanon of Pacific Fisheries, and Chairman ! the former Code Authority.

P. Wolf,, of the Hood Bay Canning Company, and Vance Sutter, of the Fidalgo, Island Packing Company. “We ask your cooperation in spreading the news of this cam-| paign among Alaskans. The inter- ests .of the Territory are so inter- twined with this industry that any constructive move we make must | have a similar result for you.” JUNEAU FIRE LOSS IS LOW, SAYS GHIEF Mulvihill and F Fire Depart- ment Members Guests | Today.of C. of C. The fire loss in Juneau for last year—$8,000—is the lowest for many years, according to Fire Chief V. W. Mulvihill, who was a guest of honor at the Chamber of Com- merce luncheon at Bailey’s Cafe to- day. There were 92 alarms last year, six less than the precedlng' years, Chief Mulvihill stated. This week, as a feature of Fire Prevention Week, fire drills were held at all the Juneau schools. The grade school was found to re- spond to the fire alarm with the greatest speed, the building being | emptied of pupils in 1 minute and 45 seconds. The high school, the Parochial school and the Govern- ment school each required 2 min- utes to complete the drills. Chief Mulvihill stated that here- |after an inspection of all business| houses with reference to fire haz-| ards will be made once each momh‘ instead of annually as has been the custom. Four members of the Fire De- Shaw, Herman Porter, and W. E. Hendricksan — were also guests at the Chamber of Commerce lunch- | eon. MlLO’S GONE AGAIN U. 8. Deputy Marshals through- out the Division have been advised by U. S. Marshal William T. Ma- heney to keep an eye out for Milo Kapp, 16-year-old Juneau boy, who is reported to have run away from home. He left here October 3, ac- cording to his parents, and he may have gone on the Bandon, they told authorities. Milo has run away be- fore, officers said. ——-———— TO WASHINGTON, D.C. Miss Leonaine M.

Karnes, who returned on the Alaska from an extended trip to the Westward. Except for a need of paint and minor repairs, which will be under- taken next summer, the schools of the Territory are in better than average condition, he reported. City schools register an increased en- rollment, with village enroliments holding‘ to ‘the average of the past few years. Mr. Karnes spent eight weeks in- speeting schools. His itinerary took him along the government and Copper River railroads, over Seward Peninsula, along the Yukon River as \far as Nenana, and the entire length of the Kuskokwim River. The latter part of his trip brought him to Matanuska Valley, where he reports the “travelling teachers” to be enjoying a successful term. This system of education, where- in eight teachers, employed by the grovernment go from farm to farm /in an Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation car, and individually teach the pupils, is the product of necessity, and so far as Mr. Karnes can determinz has never been util- ized before. “We had expected the school- house to be ready when the fall term began,” he explained. “When it wasn't, we found we had eight| teachers on our hands to whom we had promised employment, and a rge number of children for whom schooling was imperative. So we ad- justed our means to our circum- stances, with very satisfactory re- sults.” The school house is expected to be ready by Thanksgiving. Mr. Karnes attended the can Legion Convention in before returning to Juneau. — ., PATCO MAKES MANY FLIGHTS Thomas B. Hayward, Junior Me- teorologist of the Juncau Weather Bureau, arrived Tuesday afternoon from Seattle aboard the Alaska Air Tian:port Patco flown by Sheldon Simmons. ae Patco made three trips yes- t rday.

Al Tilson, fore- | man of the Lake Hasselborg Camp was a passenger on the plane. In the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Rex Early were taken to the Comet Mine. The Patco then flew to Hawk In- let to pick up Hoke for the return trip to Juneau. Today the Patco made a trip at 19 am. to Hawk Inlet with Frank Metcalf, mining engineer, and at 10:30 took off for Tenakee with H. Ardahl as a passenger. The Simmons plane is scheduled to return to Hawk Inlet at 5 pm. today to pick up V. L. Hoke, radio engi- neer.
