pressing optimism over information
gathered on his trip in Texas and
Arkansas as to conditions In those
two states, Senator Joe T. Robinson
moved today into Tennessee. the
only southern state SO far selected
by Herbert Hoover for a campaign
address.
An even month, however, will
! elapse between the firing by the
democratic vice presidential NOM
| inee of his opening campaign broad
side in the state and the date, Oct
ober 6, selected by the republican
presidential nominee for his address
at Elizabethton.
While Mr.. Robinson has express
ed no apprehension over the loyalty
of Tennessee to the democratic
standard, some regard the state as
doubtful and many republicans have
claimed 1t will be found In the

from there southwark along the

Upon his return from two day
swing into Texas, the senator was
welcomed back to his home state OF
Arkansas by crowd at Texarkana.
AS the train pulled into the station,
a crowd headed by band gathered
around the platform of the private
car and applauded the senator
when he appeared.
Replying to a speech OF welcome
the senator took a rap at the repub-
Iican record on farm legislation, de-
claring that all republicanism had
done IN eight years of power was
talk, talk, talk. about farm relief.

Through the Static

Much could be said in summarize
ing the summer programs Of which
but a few deserve praise while the
rest could stand immeasurab BILE
criticisms, but we shall only talk of
those which were true sources of
entertainment and pleasure to the
majority.
The National Broadcasting COM
pany does without any measure of
doubt deserve much credit for CIV
ing us some of the best and at the
same time some of the most uninter-
esting progra ms via the ether waves.
OF course We realize how difficult
it Is to suot eyeryone's musical
tastes Gf any and while certain

cal entertainment of high nature.
other go into ecstasies over popular
dance melodies and never seem
fully satisfied with the programs!
To remedy this we would suggest
that certain stations present eXclu-
sively popular musical programs
while others give up their time to
classical vehicles of high qualities.
The listeners in could then suit
himself land herself). and pick the
choice Of the two.
Of the programs more WORTH
while, to which we have listened
during the summer months We place
the Philharmonic orchestra in first
place for honors in the symphonic
ensemble group. This orchestra has
beyond any reason of doubt given
us the best in the highest type Of
classical music and We feel that a
majority of critics would agree with
us. In the band concert group, we
make no mistake in naming the
Goldman Band for first honors.
Edwin Frankie Goldman and his
ensemble have indeed given lis the
most interesting and diversified ar
engagements, and the only fault We
could detect was that the programs

source of constant pleasure mas
much as no numbers were ever re-
peated in their programs with the
possible exceptions OF a few which
we didn't notice. The slumber music

name entertaining us with the best

does its best to do SO, yet there re-
main some flaws in the radio

eradicated. The columnist recently
paid a visit to the NBC broadcast

the clock-like regularity with which
the staff and the musicians perform
their work.
One thing We would suggest. and
that is something in the line of sur
prise programs; impromptu enter
tainment by the personnel Of the
broadcasting station, something OF
diversified nature, a little bit of mu-
sic, some humorous dialogues. sing

PROSPECTORS'
 AID POPULAR
 SAYSSTEWART
Many Make Request for Assistance Provided
 Tn Dunn Act

The Prospectors' Aid Act, which was introduced by Senator John w. Dunn of Ruby. and passed by the last Territorial Legislature, and for which $20,0OO was appro priated to carry it into effect, has been received with enthusiasm by prospectors in many parts of the Territory, according to B. D. Stew art, Federal Mining Engineer, who has charge of the working out of the act.
 The act provides that transpor- tation aid, not to exceed $150 each, may be given any bona fide pros pectors whose claims are approved by the local agents appointed by MT. Stewart, by MT. Stewart him. self and by Gov. George A. Parks. into effect each prospector had to pay his own transportation be- fore he might have a claim for aid allowed. This procedure was found to be impracticable, and it is now provided that any transpor- tation company, or individual will ing to do so, may furnish trans portation to the prospector and put in the claim for reimburse ment, certified by the prospector to show that 1t has actually been furnished. The claim is then passed upon as before, by the local agents, MT. Stewart and the Governor.
 Over $4o00 Spent
 Of the $20,000 appropriated last year, S4425.53 had been spent at the end of the fiscal year, March 31, 1928. Vouchers for $1766.S3 have since then been sent to the Governors office for approval, and applications asking for $1730 ac- tual reimbursement are pending approval in the office of MT. Stewart.
 At the end of the fiscal year 10 applications had been received, or over half the number that could be taken care of by the $20,000 appropriation which is to last un- til the next legislature meets, in 1929. From the First Division 13 applications were received by Mr Stewart, from the Second Divi. sion, 27 applications, five from the Third Division and 25 from the Fourth Division. The Second and Fourth Divisions, from which the greatest number were receiy- ed, are the placer mining districts where work is best done in the winter, according to MT. Stewart Alrplanes Used
 Over a dozen claims based upon airplane trips out of Fairbanks to the headwaters of the Kobuk and Noatak rivers have been among the most interesting received by the Mine Inspectors office. For many years this district has at tracted the attention of those in-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-04-26

terested in mining, but was diff ficult and at times impossible to reach, until airplane transporta- ton was available, MT. Stewart declared.
 The 13 local agents appointed by MT. Stewart to help take care of applications, and explain the law to miners in their own vicini- ties, are in most cases U. s. Com missioners, and are located in Nome, Valdez, Mccarthy, Hyder. Fairbanks, Anchorage, Petersburg ketchikan, Wiseman, Chitina, Ruby, Craig and Sitka. When ap- plications are received from towns having no agent, one is appointed.
 Good Law
 A letter recently received by MT. Stewart from George s. May hard, publisher of the Nome Mug get, who acts as agent for the Prospectors' Aid Act at Nome, in- dicates the reception the act has met with, and says in part:
 "The miners and prospectors are beginning to feel that this is a good law, and are working me overtime filling out their blanks and explaining the nature of the law.
 Practically all of these fellows are the salt of the earth-and it falls to my lot to make out all of their papers and vouchers, forms and so forth. They are so pleased when they get assistance that it is pleasure to help them l believe this law is going to do more to get miners back in the hills than anything else"

LOCAL MEN PLAN
 TO RAISE FUNDS
 FOR YACHT RACE

A novel scheme, and one that it's originators hope will prove popular with Juneau people, has been designed by three local men who are making an effort to raise funds to defray expenses of the Capital-to-Capital Yacht Race dur ing the summer.
 Tickets will be sold at $1 each, according to present plans, on a pool which will go to the person guessing the nearest to the time of arrival of the first yacht from Olympia. One guess goes with each ticket.
 Half of the money from the
