Noyes learned of the death of his mother at Oneida, New York, and immediately went there to at- tend the funeral. Mrs. Noyes is also at Oneida, having gone there some time ago because of ill health. Col. Noyes reports her as being much improved but will probably ke in New York for some time yet. In Washington the Colonel ap- peared before a Serate sub-com- mittee which was considering In- terior Department appropriations. The House had cut road funds of ARC $1700,000 for construction and $700,000 for maintenance and Col. Noyes presented the ARC pro- gram in defense of restoration of the funds. Before going to Washington inf April Col. Noyes had started on a survey trip of ARC road work in the Territory. He was as far as Whitehorse when called east. He plans to carry out plans for his survey trip within the next few days. “I am also greatly concerned over when the car ferry will start between Juneau and Haines,” he said. He said the Haines road is in very good condition. W. J. Niemi, chief of operations, division, Col. Noyes said, has re-, turned from a trip to the interior where he was engaged in scouting a route for a proposed new read between Tok and Eagle. The route took him four days to cover, due to terrain.
