Government Dock At Juneau Is Urged By President

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 1o.-
 President Harding has asked Con- aress for an appropriation of S1,o0o for the survey and designing of a government dock at Juneau, Alaska. The War Department has reported that the construction of such a dock there would materially reduce oper-
 ating costs and shipping delays to government vessels.
The Alaska daily empire., 1922-05-10

The effort to secure a government dock here was started some time ago by the Juneau Commercial Associa- tion in cooperation with bureaus whose vessels frequently make this port or have their headquarters here. Sites have been inspected by officers of the Coast Guard Service and naval officers.
 The matter of securing authority and funds for surveying and design ing the dock was taken up with the Bureau of Budget by Col. James G. .Steese and Delegate Sutherland last winter while the former was in Washington At that time it's ap- proval by the War Department was secured and it also passed the Budget officials It was thought at that time, however, that in as much as the army bill had been passed by the House that funds could not be obtained at the present session. It is apparent. said Colonel Steese to- day. that President Harding has recommended to the Senate that the item be included in it's report on the current army measure.

CARL w. RIDDICK
Republican Nominee for United States Senator

In order that Montana's needs as
a new and developing state may best
be served, it is important to elect a
United States senator in harmony
with the Republican National Admin
istration, who can get things done for
Montana.
The biggest business in Montana
and the nation is farming. We need
more men in congress who know the
farmer problems and who will have
a real interest in solving them along
sound lines.
Carl w. Riddick is a republican and
a Montana farmer. His record is
that Of an efficient worker for Mon
tana and a loyal worker for all mea-
sures of benefit to farmers.
Carl Riddick is completing his
fourth year as congressman from the
Eastern Montana district. His whole
record is one of service. He gets
things done. His ability to get re-
suits. his favorable acquaintance at
Washington, and his experience gained
during the last four years all make
him the best man for Montana to
elect to the United States senate.
A necessary qualification for any
man who aspires to represent Mon
tana in the United States senate should
be a record of 100 per cent American
ism at all times. Carl Riddick has
such a record that no Montanan need
offer apologies. He has never been
associated or a sympathizer with trail
tors and the disloyal.
For political effect, certain Butte
and Helena politicians and newspapers
that try to dominate the politics and
voters of Montana, d%enounce Riddick
and his record, and by half truths and
deception seek to make it appear that
he has neglected his work at Wash
ington. Contrasted with those tricky
statements are the public statements

promotion in this work was rapid. He
became supervisor of different national
forests in Montana, dealing with set
tiers, lumbermen, miners, sheepmen
and cettlemen in a cooperative way,
and learning much of the problems Of
all. He left this work after II years,
only because the breaking out of the
great war demanded his efforts in an
other direction, the government asking
him to organize and direct the War
emergency employment service and the
Public Service Reserve for the entire
state of Montana. In this position the
problems of employer and employee in
every line of endeavor within the State
were before him throughout the wal
and during the early reconstruction
period, the opportunity being an excep-
tional n to aQuire a comprehensive
knowledge Of these matters and the
ability to understand all Sizes of such
questions. The day war was declared
he raised a company Of infantry at
Great Falls, but gave this and other
military service up at the request of
the Federal Government that he under
take this war work with the Depart
ment of Labor.
In Successful Business.
Since the war MIR. Leavitt has engag-
ed in the insurance and automobile
finance business, being the treasurer
of the Montana Auto Finance Corpo-
ration, a successful concern which has
paid dividends each year of its exis-
tence, thus giving him that %acquain-
lance with Montana business condi-
tons so necessary to the development
of the State.
Few men have had the opportunity
for personal contact with so many, of
the problems of Montuna's agricultural,
stOckraIsing, mining and business
needs and possibilities, nor with its
public land questions or the field for
the development of it's vast natural
resources. He has taken an active
part in the extension of roads and
irrigation and has been an officer with
out pay in various organizations to
advance these movements.
In Great Falls Scott Leavitt is
identified with various civic move
mentS, being among other things presi-

at a great deal less expense than it

tory of the county.
When elected Charlie Hall promised
an economical administration coupled
with his best efforts toward strict en-

he has fulfilled to the letter. The
voters of Valley county will make no
mistake in returning him to the Of
flee for the next two years.
