Interior City Wants Mbney
to Erect City Hall—P.
W. A. Till Depleted
WSHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 18 —
(Special Correspondence)— Under
consideration by the legal depart
ment of the Public Works Admin
istration is the application oi
Fairbanks for a loan and grant in
the sum of $50,000.
If allotted, the money would be
used to build a new city hall, which
also would house the fire depart
ment., and to repair and construct
sewers and sidewalks.
Administrator Ickes today an
nounced that the PWA till is
practically empty. Allotments have
been made apace since an addi
tional half billion dollars was re
cently appropriated by Congress,
and now only $4,000,000 remains. It
Is expected bonds held by the
PWA will be sold to the Recon
struction Finance Corporation to
obtain additional cash.
Gi aening Takes Office
The change in the directorship
of the new Division of Territories
and Island Possessions of the De
partment of the Interior, has come
about even sooner than was gen
erally anticipated. Major Earl
Landreth, temporarily assigned as
director, has been succeeded by Dr.
Ernest H. Gruening.
Dr. Gruening is a specialist in
'■Latin American affairs. Untff
cently he was editor of the New'
York Evening Post. Previously he
was managing editor of the Na
tion, liberal w'eekly, publisher and
editor of the Portland (Me.) Eve
ning News and managing editor of
the Boston Traveler. Dr. Gruening
is a graduate of Harvard—the Pres
ident's university—and is 47 years
old.
F. H. A. Is Delayed
Not until the Federal Housing
Administration has organized its
campaign in the States, in order
to take full advantage of building
possibilities this fail, will consider
ation be given to the matter of es
tablishing administrative agences in
the territories. This policy was out
lined today by an official of the
FHA after Delegate Dimond had
requested a statement with refer
ence to prooedure in Alaska.
This does not mfean that Alas
kans cannot apply at once for
modernization loans to their banks
or other qualified agencies. They
can do that in the same manner
as anyone in the States. The sole
difference is that state and region
al directors have been appointed in
continental United States to speed
up the program, while such officers
will not be named In the territor
ies for the present at least:
Modification Is Sought
If a recommendation which Dele
gate Dimond made to the Treas
ury Department early in the sum
mer and which he has renewed at
frequent intervals since, is adopted

Coulee Project Aids Northwest

.JfcL-**' ,
View of the turbulent Columbia river in Washington.
Another unit in President Roosevelt’s far-fiung line of power projects
is arising on the Columbia river in Washington where two huge
dams, composing the Grand Coulee project, to cost more than $246,
000,000 will create a huge artificial lake bringipg irrigation water to
thousands of parched acres and generating almost two and a half
million horsepower to help electrify homes and aid industry in the
great northwest._ Dr. Elwood Mead, U. S. reclamation, chief, is
' supervising the work./'
gold miners will be freed of an in
convenience which, it seems, was
caused inadvertantly by a section
of the provisional gold regulations.
The regulations provide that
none without a license may re
tort gold. This has been construed
to mean the small miner who per
haps does his retorting in a gold
pan as well as the larger operator.
It is obiously not practicable for
the man who may produce a few
hundred dollars annually to go to
the trouble of securing a license,
and to make the situation worse
the regulations were not generally
understood in many parts of the
Territory at the time miners went
to the hills for the season.
The Delegate has proposed a re
vision of the regulations so that
gold may be retorted so long as
retorting is not carried to the
point where the metal could not
be identified as being newly mined.
A decision on the part of the
Treasury, was expected some time
ago, but the attention of the de
partment has been centered on
questions having to do with silver
to such an extent in recent weeks
that it has not been possible to
obtain a decision with respect to
altering the gold regulations along
the lines proposed by Mr. Dimond.
Bell Confirms Reports
Returning yesterday to Wash
ington, Commissioner of Fisheries
Frank T. Bell confirmed reports
published on the west coast to the
effect that he intends to close
Bristol Bay to fishing next year.
Commissioner Bell said he con
siders the step essential to prevent
future depletion of salmon and to
stabilize the market.
His term having expired, Major
John C. Cotwals will soon com
plete his duties as engineer com
missioner of the District of Colum
bia. He then will be retired from
the army because of physical disa
bility. Major Gotwals is well re
membered in Alaska by reason of
his connection with the Alaska

FOOTBALL FUSS
NORTHLAND, Sept. 10.—Here’s
first intercollegiate football argu
ment of thp season, even before a
single moleskin has been taken out
of the mothballs!
University of Washington fans
feel the University of Oregon war
a little too technical in demanding
a year of eligibility be lopped ofi
the varsity term of Burl Bufkin,
star Husky back.
Bufkin left Washington last
spring after receiving an appoint
ment to West Point. He attended
the Point's summer camp but de
cided he’d rather be at Washington
and returned.
Oregon, of course, was within its
technical rights in insisting Buf
kin lose a year of competition, but
Husky fans hold the Pacific Coast
conference would have overlooked
the transfer because Bufkin did
not even report for the academy
football team.

edge were made available effec
tively are listed by Dr. Tiaoma;
Parran, Jr.. New York state health

The infant mortality rate can
be cut in half.
Two-thirds of the present 13,000
maternal deaths can be prevented.
The increasing incidence of the
venereal diseases can be changed to
a decreasing progression.
The tuberculosis battle is only
half won.
Cancer can be better controlled.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—Work and
worry without relaxation are send
ing the successful business man to
his grave at fifty, depriving the
nation of the bast type of trained
'ecdcrship, in the opinion of Dr.
Karl Meyer, internationally known
urgeon and chief of staff at the
Co k County Hospital. He said:
“Unreasoning worship of the
gods of money and success, with
out regard for the human body,
brings death to a constantly in
rrca'in? number of men at that
age. Man must learn to play more
and work less if he would avoid
premature death.”

Dr. John Radcliffe,, eminent Lon
don physician, one of whose be
quests resulted in the Radcliffe
Observatory at Oxford.
