THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1937 ASSAY STATION GETS RESPONSE AT KETCHIKAN Office to Be Functioning Within Two Weeks, Says Commissioner Stewart Reporting that the new Terri- vial Department of Mines Assay Office at Ketchikan should be ready functioning actively with- in two weeks, B. D. Stewart, Com- missioner of the department, re- mmd to Juneau from Ketchikan yesterday aboard the motorship Northland. Mr. Ste his headquarters here for about six weeks, the first two weeks of which time was spent in Seattle selecting equipment for the office at Ketchi- kan; after which he then took part of his annual leave of absence in order to remain in Seattle while his wife was receiving medical atten- tion. While Mrs. Stewart remained in Seattle, he came north to Ket- chikan two weeks ago, .then joined his wife aboard the Northland to return to Juneau with her. Enthusiastic Reception Mr. Stewart reports that the of- fie at Ketchikan is being received with enthusiasm by Ketchikan res- idents, and that samples for assay already piling up on hand, wuiting for when the office will be ready to function, Some Ketchi- »sidents remarked to him that the office would without doubt be one of the most beneficial services established in that city. he office at Ketchikan is being established in a building that is jointly occupied by the offices of the Tax Collector and the Red Cross Considerable alteration to the building was necessary, Mr. Stewart said, in order to house the assay office also, including the lay- ing of new foundations to support heavy mining equipment. Although the work is still in progress, it was nearing completion when he left there, he said, and he is confident that the assayer appointed to head that office will be able to bring the work to completion without diffi- culty tart Johansson in Charge The assayer appointec o fill the Iictehikan post is Nils Johansson, who for the last several years has been with W. E. Dunkle at the Willow Creek mine group; going there from the oid Kennecott Cop- per mine at Latouche. Prior to that, Mr. Johansson was a chemist for the Superior Portland Cement com- peny, giving him many years of ex- perience in the sort of work the post will require. Mr. Johansson will perform the work of the Ketchikan office alone, for the present, Mr. Stewart stated. The office there will undoubtedly receive a big re- £ponse. Fairbanks Office Flooded The assay office at Fairbanks, which the Territory took over from tne U. S. Geological Survey on July 1, is at present flooded with work, Mr. Stewart declared, and it is pos- tible that nearly 200 ore samples sent there by field men of the de- partment will have to be transferred to the Ketchikan office for assay( when that begins to function. The office at Fairbanks has been oper- ated by the Geological Survey since wart had been absent from - l-:ord, MacBain Cancel Alaska Trip; | Too Much to Do : | to work p!"n;, up,” Corey | and Alstair MacBain, widely | known writers, will not be able to| make an Alaska trip this season, according to a radiogram to Exe-| cutive Officer Frank Dufresne of | the Alaska Game Commission to-| day. i The authors had planned to come up next month for a fishing trip| simjlar to the one they made two| yeads ago, but said in their wire they were swamped with work, but looked forward to another year.

Wiliiam T. Burns, who has been in charge of the office at Fawrbanks will continue in that post, and will continue to be assisted by staff members from the University of Al-' aska, through the co-operation of Dr. Charle: E. Bunnell, president of the University. Going to Nome Stewart expects to leave in near future for Nome, just as soon as he is able to leave his office at Juneau. At Nome he will look into the requirements of the assay| station provided there by the Leg- islacure, and see to its establish- ment. Mr. Stewart stated that he will be unable to tell on just what scale the Nome office will be in- stalled until he has made his inves- tigation there Mr. Stewart stated that he is much gratified with the fine mod- ern type of equipment he was able to secure for the offices while in Seattle, equipment that will do much to enhance the value of the stations. The equipment for the Ketchikan station is now in that city, ready to be installed, he said, while he has obtained an ct knowledge of what equipment is available for the Nome office, and will be able to or- der by wire after he has determ- ined the requirements at Nome. -~ Mr the To Avoid Treason Say ‘Ar-Kan-Saw’ OKLAHOMA CITY July 28.

P. O. Elks at their 73rd national convention at Den- ver, Colorado. For many years Mr. Harl has been active in the a rs of the Grand Lodge of the Elks, having served as Exalted Ruler of his home lodge, Mt. Vernon, New York, and as District Deputy for his district, which comprises the Elks lodges of Westchester County, New York. ive Point Program As national leader of the Elks, he is, for the term of his adminis- tration, directing the civic activities of the Order to a five point pro- gram, the chief features of which are the elimination of un-Ameri- can doctrines, and what is perhaps of more immediate importance, determined effort to reduce traffic accidents. In his initial conference with the delegates of 1372 Elk lodg- es assembled at Denver, he called for the support of the entire order in a plan to eliminate at least one known “danger spot” in every com- munity where an Elks Club is lo- He further stressed the fact that there are few, if any, com- {munitieg that do mot harbor such road hazards which through the in- fluence of local Elks can be elim-| inated “Danger Spot” Said Mr. Hart: “If the ‘;00000 Elks in our more than 1300 com- munities can succeed in doing away with at least one place dangerous to motor traffic, we will have elim- inated 1,300 places of possible acci- dent and death to the people of those communities, and as a meas- ure of good citizenship we should, as a body, work toward that end. We all deplore the rising toll of traffic accidents, but as yet have made no concerted effort to do any- thing about it. By working on the problem of local danger spots, we, s an order, can help effect a sub- tantial reduction of such acci- Death Toll “Since 1925 more than 350,000 people were killed in motor acci- dents, far more lives needlessly sac- our largest insurance companies, there were in 1936 more than 864,000 {motor vehicle accidents. accidents some 36,000 people were killad and more than 900,000 injur- ed.

HITLER ORDERS BIG BUILDING BERLIN, July 28. — Hitler, who has never personally seen a sky- scraper but is reported to have been fascinated by pictures of the New York City skyline, is going to have one built in Germany. He has just given orders for the construction of a sixty-story, 750-| feet high building at Hamburg. The design will be selected from; among those submitted by German architects in a prize contest. Hit- ler, who has a passion for architec- ture will be among the judges. The building, by far the highest ever attempted in Europe, is in-| tended to give a “monumental im- pression of the world importance of Hamburg, according to the wishes of the fuehrer,” it was announced ere. Included in the skyscraper will be an immense auditorium seating several thousand people and a large hotel run by and for the “Strength Through Joy” organization of the Nazi Labor Front. The rest of the building will be given over to offic- es. ‘IRON VETERANS' DUSSELDORF — Two erans” are on display at the Nazi “Nation at Work” exposition here.| One is a set of locomotive wheels cast in Rheinhousen in 1874 which have covered 1,250,000 miles — 50 times the earth's circumference— in 61 years.
