 Needs Road Badly
 Skagway needs a short stretch of road badly to promote tourist travel, declared MT. Ashley. It realizes that the cost of the project would be too large for completion in a single season, but he urged that a portion of it be built each year, beginning at once. The de- velopment of the tourist trade, he asserted, is as necessary as that of any industry and it should be giv- en as much encouragement. The Forest Service has allotted $60,000 for bridge over Skagway River to be constructed next sea- son. He expressed appreciation for that move but stressed the road need He asked the Chambers CO., operation in the matter.
 MT. Gallwas, who visited Los An geles last year after an absence of 30 years, declared that city's great growth in that period was due en- tirely to the activity of it's Cham Der of Commerce and other similar organizations which took advantage Of it's one reSource-climate. It had nothing else to offer, but it did make the most of that.
 It is upon the aggressiveness and activity of such organizations that communities become great and prosperous.
 The advisability of cleaning up the city, premises of business and residence houses, vacant lots, streets. etc, was urged by Allen Shattuck before the Legislature convenes next March.
 There is no necessity for a gen. eral cleanup campaign now, as only a limited number of properties are in need of it, he said. The city ought to be spick and span when the Grand Igloo of Pioneers meets here on February 25, and for the Legislature, he said.
 The Entertainment Committee was instructed by President w. w.. Council to make preparations for entertaining the grand officers of the Pioneers of Alaska when the Grand Igloo holds it's sessions here. The Gavel Club was in receipt of a letter from the Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church relative to a price on it's local property in connection with the proposed improvement of the capitol grounds. The Board will make a decision at it's next meet ing on February g.

good will as a community asset took the form of a personal experi- ence in and friendly criticism of this community. In 1926, he related he headed the vanguard of the Wilkins-De Arctic Expedition composed of II persons, three Alaskans and eig ht cheechakos From the time they left New York until they took off into the wilds from Nenana with the ill-fated snow-motors, they were the reef pients of many courtesies at every stop of more than 10 minutes There was one exception. That was in Juneau. Here they were met by one official acting in an un- official capacity. This, too, despite the fact that the Alaskan members had claimed Juneau as their home. F, Juneau, as result, he said fared rather badly in the publicity sent out to the North American Newspaper Alliance which had sym dicated the expeditions story. After the project had been abandoned and the party returned to the States, one of the members, he said who was a prominent lecturer, went to California for one month as the guest of a tourist travel bureau in- terested in Alaskan trips. He was asked by it what towns in the Ter ritory could be expected to CO., operate with it and Juneau had fared only lukewarmly.
 Good will is one of the great est factors for the good of any community. It costs nothing. It is

 Pictures Drought Areas
 A graphic picture of the drought stricken section of the country was drawn by MT. Heintzleman for the Chamber. The enforced idleness of laborers of all classes, including the so-called "white-collar" class, in that area has added human mis- cry to the suffering and want that followed in the wake of the most severe drought that has ever visited the eastern part of the United States. It extended from south- ern New Jersey and Pennsylvania as far south as Georgia and on the west to Arkansas and Oklahoma.
 Even where there was no drought visitation, every city has it's bread lines and all regular and many emergency charitable organizations are working overtime to meet the situation caused by unemployment,
 In the drought area, corn was burned up before it could even sprout ears, and a great majority of it was not even fit to harvest for fodder. Vegetables were also scared and that source of food sup ply wiped out. Farm wells, springs and creeks dried up. Many small cities and some larger had their water supplies depleted and little villages were forced to haul their water in barrels. Livestock was sold off, or died, because of the lack of both food and water. Fall fruit was stunted and worthless for food.
 Money in Banks
 There is a great need for con- fidence throughout the country, he asserted. The psychology of fear is having a baneful effect on fi- nances, business and industry. The banks of the country are filled with money, but bankers and heads of investment corporations say they are powerless to lend for new con- struction or expansion of industries because there is ample production of everything to meet the market demand. More buying is necessary in order to bring about a release Of money for financing new projects.
 The public cannot buy without money, and the banks cannot make loans unless there is revival of buying, and thus there seems to exist a vicious circle" which the country is now trying to work it's way out of, he declared. The stab- ilizing effect of confidence, he said, was one of the great needs.
 Given Vote of Thanks
 Expressing it's recognition of the valuable service that MT. Heint- zleman has rendered to the Terri tory by his efforts to stimulate the production of pulp and newsprint in Southeast Alaska the Chamber extended a vote to thanks to him for his work, and the personal as well as official interest he has shown.

University Elections
In Hands of Students

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 30.-Se-
lection of class officers at the Uni
versity of North Dakota has been
placed entirely in the hands of the
student body after two years of par
tial control by the faculty commit
tee on students affairs.
Under the new plan, each class can
90 ahead any time it chooses and
elect an unlimited number of Off
GERS. The only regulations still main-
tanned by the faculty committee are
that candidates for choregus shall
have the sanction of the music de-
partment and that all elections be out
of the way by Dec. Is. The winning
candidates for choregus will direct
their classes in the Carney song con-
test held annually in connection with
the Founders Day celebration Feb.

During the last two years, faculty
members have either selected secret
committee of students to nominate for
class offices or else made the nomina-
tions themselves. The candidates
were not announced until the morning
of election day.
