Powers, of Eagle, is now in the Fairbanks Hoscpital, as the re- sult of badly frozen feet. Word of Mrs. Powers' injury was brought to Juneau by Representative and Mrs. Dan Green, of Hot Springs. Mrs. Powers has been in the hos- pital for about ten days, they said, but it was fifteen days before she was taken to the hospital, after her feet were frozen. Mrs. Powers contracted her injury when she set out from Eagle with |a sack of mail to meet her husband [on the trail, while he was making the mail run. A short distance out on’ the trail the mail broke loose from her pack, and, unable to re- xplurn it with her gloves on, and too cold to remove them, she carried the sack in her arms until she be- jcame too exhausted to go further. Goes Down In Snow Becoming sleepy she laid down in the snow, and with the temperature at 40 degrees below zero, slept there all night until her husband found her the next morning. “I'm just as warm as a bug in a rug,” she said, when he revived her, but on return- ing home, she found that her fect | were black. | Not letting anyone see them, she |rubbed them with snow, but it was too late. However, she went on about her work, helping: to shovel snow, and working outside, for sev- |eral days more, cheerful all the while. Finally, when Mr. Powers learned !of her condition, she was taken to| the hospital, but by that time she |had lost her toes and her condition was serious. Four days ago, phys- ans attending her were awaiting |Senator Powers’ arrival before op-| |erating, | Through it all, i'un spirits, and remained cheerful |and uncomplaining. | Because of his wife's injury, Sen- ator Powers will probably be de- a four-year pe- layed in attending the session of | ‘ the Legislature here. - Republicans Plan Rally On Large Commiltee Numetbtt Handle G.

The route is suggested via Chicka- loon to Copper Center, and the Rep- resentative believes it would be a gréat step toward adding to Alas- ka's mining development. The Willow Creek district, Rep- resentative Kennedy says is destin- 2d to become the greatest quartz| nining district in the north. Some | 150 men are now in the district, he reports, but the crying need, he| points out, is more airplane fields, as it is impossible to keep a roaa would not hamper aviation activities if landing tields were established. The Representative believes in the| purpose of the Social Security Act| and will push action for more lib- eral pension laws. He says there are some ploneers who have applied for admittance to the Pioneers’ Home but there is no room for them. | He is pledged to support a program | to take care of these indigents in| a more liberal way. Born in Sitka himself in 1881, Mr. Kennedy speaks the language: of the pioneer because he is one| himself. neau as a lad by his parents and his father, Dan Kennedy, Sr., was | will !open due to the heavy snows "’hmh:'highwnys if a State Legislator has night marshal here for many years and also served as head of the Indian police, having been appoint- ed to that position by Alaska's first Governor, John H.

Incidentally, Representative Ken« Inedy will spot any typographical errors that may appear in this story 4 je because he was a printer himself for many years and worked at his trade , & \ right here in Juneau. He set the type for many an edition of the old Dispatch, the Searchlight and other papers of those days. Kennedy Street is named for his father, so coming to Juneau is like coming home to Representative Kennedy al- though he has been in the Westward for many years now and with Mrs. Kennedy operates a haberdasherys) (¢ | store in Anchorage. Mrs. Kennedy is handling the business while her« <. husband is here for the Legislature but hopes to get away to make a visit here toward the end of the session, he reports. Mr. Kennedy has words of praise for the Matanuska Colony and sees success for the project. He pointed out that the Colonists and farmers of the Matanuska Valley supplied the Alaska Railroad belt with poul-* try, eggs and vegetables when there was a food shortage during the strike and is still doing it. Anchorage, he reports, had a pros- perous year in all lines, particularly, an extensive building program was on there during the season.
