SOLONS FROM NOME LOATH TO RECEIVE
 OFFER OF SENATE

It isn't often that a Legislator hesitates when something is offer cd him for nothing. Yet that is a distinction that can be claimed, if they so desire,l by Senators Ander- son and Sundquist of the Second Division.
 Yesterday the Senate was con- sidering measure by them au- thorizing the Territorial Road Com mission to cxpend $2,500 annually for the next two years to relieve the City of Nome from its share of the expense of maintaining the Nome Harbor project. Senator Hess suggested the desirability of amend ing the bill so as to make it per- manent He pointed out that a similar bill had been passed by three or four Legislatures and un- doubtedly future legislatures would be called on to do the same thing. He presented an amendment legal izing the desired expenditures for ever, or until the law should be repealed by some future session.
 Senators Dimond and Frame of the Third, expressed a willingness to vote for it, if 1t met with the approval of the Second Division delegation. Only Senator Benja- min voiced opposition. Senator Sundquist was doubtful of its de- sirability. Nome, he averred, is only small part of the Second Division, and other sections might not like such measure. Senator Anderson was in quandry. He seemed to think it wouldn't be pos- sible to get any money this year if the bill were amended as sug- gested, although assured by Sena- tor Hess that it would be a simple matter to assure that it would.
 In the end, at the request of the Second Division solons, the bill was continued until today to sort of look into the mouth of the gift horse"

DR. BUNNELL
 ARRIVES HERE

Dr. Charles E. Bunneli President of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, arrived in Juneau on the steamer Yukon, to appear before the Territorial Leg
 islature regarding appropriations for the College.
 The College is in excellent shape, pr. Bunnell said The students have been enjoying the unusually heavy snow by taking up winter sports in their leisure moments. The heavy snow also presages well for the mining season, as it is as surance that there will be plenty of water for use for mining pur- poses.
 Dr. Bunnell returned to Fair banks a month ago after having spent several weeks to good advan- tage in Washington, D. c. During the time he was in Washington, he secured the extension of the bene- fits of the Hatch and Smith-Lever Acts, regarding Agricultural experi- ment and extension work in agri- culture and home economics to the Alaska College. This will mean an additional S25,000 a year to the College, Dr. Bunnell said.
 Fairbanks was very interested in the recent round trip of Noel Wien to Siberia, and his load of valuable furs, which were shipped south on the Yukon, Dr. Bunnell said The value of the 1900 skins was esti- mated at $125,000 and their approx innate weight at HOO pounds.
 He conferred with Gov George A. Parks for some time this morn ing and was one of the guests of the Juneau Chamber of Com merce at it's weekly luncheon today.

Commissioner Dougherty said that he
had no knowledge of it until picture

TREASURY PLEDGES
FARM RELIEF COST
Proposed s50o,o0O,0Oo Ap-
preparation Easily Made
Available, Officials Report.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Though the farm bill approaching
passage in Congress calls for a huge
sum of money, 100000, 900, the Treas
ury is ready to take care of the expendi-
ture should it be decided to make the
appropriation available at once
Treasury officials said today that pros
poets of Congress approprlatlng oha
money before taking its recess would IN
no way disrupt the financial plan OF the
Government. The appropriation i 10 DE
provided for The use of the Federal Farm
Board in the purchase and storage OF
surplus crops until 1t can dispose OF
them.
Clause in Bill Interpreted.
This appropriation, the bill says, shall
be made available by Congress as soon
as practicable" after the tarm bill Is
passed The provision has been inter-
nreted bv some members of The Senate
as meaning the entire sum must be
made available at once, and they nave
expressed the belief that President Hoo
yer will recommend that the whole
amount be appropriated as soon as the
bill becomes a law.
Treasury officials, looking at the ad-
ditional expense only from the tinan-
clal end or proNldmg tne lulos, Say
that even though the money was MADE
available at once, it would not be with
drawn from the Treasury and spent be-
fore the end of the fiscal year, on June
80. They expressed the belief that the
Federal Farm Board could hardly be
organized and begin drawing funds be-
fore the first of July and that even
then it would not be necessary for the
Treasury actually to provide the entire
sum in cash at one time.
View of Treasury Officials.
From the Treasury point of view the
additional expenditure means only that
the Treasury plan for providing for
Government expenses will have TO be
expanded, and in case there is not
enough cash on hand to meet the needs,
additional certificates of Indebtedness
can be issued as the farm board spends
Its appropriations.
Taking the view that none of the
money can be withdrawn from the gen.
eral fund before July !, officials say the
action of Congress, if it makes the fund
Immediately available, will in no way
endanger the indicated surplus in Gov
eminent funds for the fiscal year end
ing June 80. This surplus now is ex-
pected to be more than $100,o00,000.

Hundred Years, 1827-1927."
This biography, principally in the
form of dialogue, is the result OF adroit
questioning of remarkable Iowa CEN

youngest daughter-in-law. Through her
association with her father, who was
one of the early settlers in the North
west Territory, and her grandfather, a
compatriot of Gen. Israel Putnam,
Grandma Browns span of life embraces
practically the whole of our history as
a nation. Pioneer days in the West,
the abolition movement, the Civil War,
Western migration and farm develop
ment, the temperance question, the
Chicago Worlds Fair, down through the
World War, are but a few of the many
landmarks in the country's history sur

law had become a historical person.
age-symbol of the pioneer age in the
development of the country-decided to
record permanently the chronicle of
the typical experiences in the life of
an American woman. Recording her
story in pungent speech, Mrs. Brown
endeavored to catch and preserve the
flavor of Grandma'S personality, her
aspirations, her achievements, her limi-
tations, her innocent vanitieS, her low
able animosities and her patient en-
beavers. After the manuscript was
written, Grandmother Brown, on Janu-

in simple and natural way the story
