agGmonG has been making anX- iouS inquiries about him, fear ing that he has met with some misfortune.
 Radio Medical Aid
 For the past ten years the Public Health Service has been giving medical aid by radio to vessels at sea. The Surgeon General recently announced that through the cooperation of the U. s. Coast Guard, medical advice will be given from the Marine Hospital at Port Town send, Washington, through the local Coast Guard base radio station located in that vicinity. The establishment of this addi- tional station will provide fa- cilities, the need of which has been recognized for some time, , especially for vessels in Alaskan waters and the North Pacific.
 Mineral Survey
 A systematic and persistent effort is about to be put forth by the Interior Department to arouse the interest of the min ing and investment forces of the United States to the great industrial resources and oppor- l tunitieS in Alaska. At the same time plans have been completed ] for the expenditure Of the $250,- coo appropriated by Congress for continuation of mineral and other resources of Alaska, , along the Alaska Railroad. In addition to the amount named which has been placed in the hands of Secretary Wilbur for the purpose of investigation, the Geological Survey will expend their usual amount of $65, 5000, divided over various sections of tho Territory.
 i Tourist Excursions Promoted Wide publicity is being given to the purposes as outlined by the Interior Department. Over 2,500 newspapers in the United States vii on April 20. set forth the obie $ sought to be attain ed. Tn {, :1ition various eXcur- sion agencies and Chambers of Conner ,, from the A ..,nlic to the Pacific states, will take the the matter up with thousands of individuals, in the effort to pro- mote excursions to the north of men with capital to invest and who might give aid in the encouragement of prospectors snd mining men to go to the north. This commendable work of publicity is being directed by Ernest Walker Sawyer, who is thoroughly conversant with the resources of Alaska and vitally interested in their development.
 Investigate Coal Resource
 One of the major projects in the investigation about to start will be an examination of the Anthracite Ridge coal field in The vicinity of the Alaska Rail- road, on which $127,000 will be expended. There will be detail- ed surface investigations, in

Old Age Pension Laws

A Washington newspaper has published an analysis of old age relief laws as prepared by Miss Miley M. Pope, Director of Social Welfare, state of California. She starts out by saying: Tn 1915, when Alaska enacted a law for aid to aged pioneers in their homes, national movement toward old age assistance was initiated. Similar laws have followed in various States, until at the present time we find IA states with legislation for old age assistance. Tn 13 other States similar proposed laws are before the 1881 Legislatures for consideration. Many of the earlier projects showed an ex- perimental attitude, but all agree in certain basic points. Need is the first requirement. in every State, as the applicant

known veins more than 50 feet thick, to cost $27,000, while the sub-surface core drilling of about 4,OOO feet will cost $1O0,- 900. The sum of $60,0O0 has been allocated to Willow Creek, i Fairbanks, Copper Mountain, Girdwood, KantiShna and Moose Pass districts, and a party will operate in each of these dis tricts.
 Four parties will do prelim- mary exploratory examination, at a cost of $24,OO0, in the West Fork of Chulitna, Valdez Creek, Talkeetna Mountains and Vent na districts. There has been G5,000 set aside to investigate, test, and report on non-metaic minerals, such as clay, lime stone, mari, etc, in the railroad belt.
 i A representative in Alaska, with headquarters at Anchorage will be maintained throughout he year by the Geological Sur vey, to work with prospectors and mining companies, and make available to them and the general public the results of the i individual investigations within ! few weeks after the field work of the parties has been complet- ed. This representative will al- so be a medium of coordination between the railroad and the other agencies engaged in this program. The General Land Office will aid in making surveys of the areas investigated.
 Federal Building for Fairbanks
 The people of Fairbanks are very anxious that construction of their new Federal building start during the mild season of early summer and have asked i the Delegate to exert his inf1u- ence to that end. Delegate Wick ersham visited the office of the Supervising architect and learn ed that some changes in the specifications had recently been made and that this would cause 8 delay for advertising for bids until the first half of May. After the bids are received, checked over, contract awarded, bond arranged and approved, several weeks will be consumed. Tech .nical officer George o. Won Ner- 1 ta states that it is very improb- able that actual work on con- struction can start before some time in July, altho efforts will be made to hurry things along as much as possible. The build ing is to be of concrete and will cost $400,000.
 Nine Billion Years Hence
 The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, through MT. w. D. Lambert, gives out the startling information that the i life of the world is being c.tt in half by Boring Sea, between I Alaska and Siberia. The impli- cation of calculation by MT. Lambert indicates that the TO- I tation of the earth on it's axis is slowing down, and that ap- nrcximately nine billion years hence the globe will make a complete revolution only once 9
 month and the month itself will be much longer. This condition will be brought about by the ac- cumulating effects of friction by the tides. But in the meantime Alaska has quite 9 few serious problems that must be first worked out.
 Will Tour Mckinley Park
 Mrs. Charles Sheldon, of Mil ton, Mass, is arranging to tour Interior Alaska this summer, her particular interest drawing her to Mckinley National Park. There it was that her now de- ceased husband spent his early years in exploration work and promotion of the Park as one of the great tourist charms of the United States.
