RAD|O-TELEPHONE
 SYSTEM PLANNED
 FOR ALL ALASKA

The Northern Radio Tele- graph Company of Seattle has made application to the Fed eral Radio Commission for a permit to establish and main tain radio-telephone stations in Alaska, according to Se- attle news reports.
 The company, it is said, plans to install a number of stations in Alaska by next fall and will ultimately extend radio telephone service throughout the Territory, thereby enab- ling residents of even remote parts of Alaska to talk direct ly with virtually all parts of Canada and the United States, and even with persons in Eu- rope.
 Arrangements have been made with the Northwest Tel ephone Company of British Columbia, which operates ra- dio-telephone stations in Brit ish Columbia and is connected with the Bell telephone syst em, for contact with the pro- jected Alaskan stations, the first of which will be located at ketehikan and Juneau.
 In addition to providing ra- dio-phone communication with outside points, the projected system will ultimately enable. telephone communication be- tween points within the Ter ritory and between ships and shore.

Pawer Company Plans
 Huge Ultimate Development

The ultimate hydro-electric power development contem- plated by the Portland Canal Power Company on Davis Riv- CT is 50,000 horsepower, ac- cording to a description of the plans of the company publish ed in the April 18th issue of Mining Truth.
 Nineteen sheets of maps and plans covering all phases of the huge power project were filed by the company with the Federal Power Commission in connection with it's application for license, according to that journal, which states that the initial installation will consist of two hydraulic turbines hay ing a capacity of 25,000 horse power when the dam is con- pleted to it's full height, so as 70 create head of 500 feet, and will at first generate 15,- 900 horsepower under a head of $50 feet. The completed plant will have four such tur- pines and will develop 50,000 horsepower.
 Following the filing of the maps and plans the company was in frequent communica- ton with the chairman of the commission and furnished him with all the engineering in- formation requested. B. F. Heintzelman of the Juneau Forest Service office checked over the application in the field, the journal says and con- ferred with Willis T. Batchel- Ter, president of the company, regarding the engineering and financial details.
 Concluding the description, Mining Truth says it was plan ned to start construction work within 30 days after the grant ing of the license.

Bone Dry Repeal Bill is Passed

The bill repeating the Alaska Bone Dry Law has passed the Alaska Legislature and has been sent to the governor for final ratification, according to press reports.
 The bill does not in reality repeal the Bone Dry Law but is in the nature of a memorial to Congress requesting the re- peal of the statute, which is a congressional act and, there fore, not open to legislative re- peal.
 The Legislature has also pass ed the Ziegler bill designed to protect the Alaska numbering industry and imposing a 12 cent excise tax on Alaska pro- ducts shipped in fibreboard containers.

M. C. Butler Sells Interest
 Tn M e c alf Grou r

c. l.. Hubbard and D. F.. Skinner of Seattle have ac- Quired the interest of M. C.. Butler, we'll known Seattle mining engineer, in the Met calf and Fendley gold prop erty on Chickamin glacier, it was disclosed by instruments filed in the Recorders office this week. MT. Hubbard now holds a majority interest in the property, the remaining inter- ests being held by Messrs. w.. w. Metcalf, Jos. Fendley and MT. Skinner.
 MT. Hubbard, who has finan- ced the development of the group during the past two years, indicated in a recent letter to the Herald that the property will probably be in- corporated and it is the inten- tion to continue development work.
 MT. Metcalf is now in charge of the development activities.

FEDERAL FLOOD
 CONTROL SURVEY
 IS UNDER WAY

The long anticipated fedora flood control survey of Salmon River, authorized by the Fist Congress, is now under way under the direction of Mir. G. J Truitt, associate engineer of the United States Engineers off ice at Juneau.
 MT. Truitt arrived in Hyder Tuesday and has already ac- compolished a considerable portion of his task, which will include a survey of the river along the same general lines suggested in the preliminary report submitted to the wal department by Major, Nal colm Elliott in April last year. He will also prepare an esti- mate of the cost of construct ing the engineering works re- quired to control the recurrent floods on Salmon River which have ieopardized the town since its foundation and neces- sitated the expenditures of more than $24,000 by local in- terest in the prevention of dis astrous inundations of the Fly der townsite.
 Under the improvement plan suggested by Mayor Elliott in his preliminary report, the cost of the proposed Improvements will approximate $80,000 eighty per cent of which, ,$72, 900, would be provided by the federal government and the remaining 20 per cent, $8,- 900, by local interests of the Territory of Alaska.
 The work of the survey is eX- pected to be completed within a period of 20 days. From the data obtained by MT. Truiti detailed plans for the contem- plated engineering works and the cost estimates will be pre- pared by the district engin~ eer's office in Juneau. This work is expected to be com pleted some time next fall, af- ter which the plans will be sent to Washington for submission to Congress early next year.
 In the event that the propos- als are promptly approved by that body, the contract for con struction work will probably be let next summer.

Road Outlet From
 Unuk Section Proposed

A recent issue of the Prince Rupert News brings the inter- esting announcement that eff forts are to be made to open road communication with the British Columbia section of the Unek River district, located a short distance beyond the northwestern borders of the Hyder mining district.
 The News states that A. $. Skellhorne, well known Can adian mining engineer, has taken options on mining prop erty in that section and has interested the British Colum- bia government in road con- struction work there, with the object of making the district accessible. As the only feas- ible route for an outlet ex- tends along the lower Unuk valley and through American territory, it is said the British Columbia government is will ing to spend an amount equal to the United States govern ment in opening up the Unuk country with an outlet to the coast.

Mrs. Arthur Moa sustained a severely bruised and cut leg as result of falling down a stairway in her home on Pre- mier Avenue last Sunday morning. Although of incapa- ciating character, the injuries are not serious and Mrs. Moa is recovering nicely under the care of Mrs. o. F. Hill at the latter's residence.
Hyder weekly herald., 1931-05-02

while the route farther east would necessitate a consider ably longer construction.
 MT. Rolston said that in view of the controversy in British Columbia regarding the route to be taken, it was necessary to bring all possible pressure to bear to induce building of the Highway as far west as possible. The speaker said he realized that Alaska is Q magic word to the tourist and the fact that the Hyder dis trict is the closest and most easily accessible section of the Alaskan territory should be g strong influence in determin- ing the location of the High way. MT. Rolston also recited the scenic attractions of the Hyder district and the large government expenditures fol highways here as added req sons why this section should be opened to tourist traf- fic over the Highway. The fact that the government has spent such a large amount on the To- cal roads should provide an added incentive to make as much use of them as possible
 Concluding his remarks, MT Rolston said that 125 miles of new road construction would put the Highway right into Alaska at Hyder. Some 30 or 40 miles of this road is already constructed and passable to automobiles and would need but little improvement to place it in shape for large traffic. MT. Ernest Blue, Hyder at torney, responding to the re- marks of MT. Rolston, pointed out that the American High way commissioners were evi- dently strongly interested in bringing the Highway as close | to Alaska as possible. This is shown by the map issued by them, he said. MT. Blue offer ed the opinion that the decid- ing factor in the location of the Highway would probably be the desire to develop Bri- ish Columbia. He also advised against overhasty efforts i'll seeking to influence the loca- ton of the Highway until such time as the survey engineers had designated their findings. MT. Blue endorsed the sugges- tion that Hyder people should use all possible influence to bring the Highway as close

LAWMAKERS IGNORE
 DEFICIT PROSPECT
 IN APPROPRIATIONS

The prospect of large trea- sury deficit and the need for conserving Territorial funds have apparently been forgot ten by the present Alaska Leg islature, judging by the way the lawmakers are handing in bills calling for substantial ap- propriations.
 Included among the numer- ous appropriation measures so far introduced are the radio subsidy bill, for two stations, one north of, the other south of the Gulf ofAlaska, S10,0OO; for Iditarod River improve ments, $12,500; for a cause way at Seldovia, $3,000; for hydrople mooring at Cordova, $3,000; Seward Peninsula ship subsidy, $1O,OOO; for radio telephone installation at Nome $10,000; school at Matanuska, S10,000; for Alaska exhibit at Chicago Worlds Fair, 1883, $10,000; to advertise Pacific Yukon Highway, $1,000; for survey of road between Kas- aan Bay and Klawock, S1,500; to reopen the Ketchikan fish hatchery, $20,000 for preda- tory annual control, S5,000;to aid in financing an all-Alaska Chamber of Commerce, S5,- 900. These measures alone in- volve total of $96,000 and represent only a portion of the total number of apropria- ton bills, exclusive of regular appropriation measures, to be passed upon before the session closes. Bills re- gently submitted include one limiting speed on Territorial highways to 20 miles an hour on curves and eliminating the maximum speed law. The measure also adds a $10 li- cense fee for delivery trucks and motorcycles. A measure by Johnstone makes the term of the Territorial Auditor 4 years instead of 2 years. A senate bill provides for a com mission to prepare plans for a new Pioneers Home to be con- structed in 1883, and another creates the office of superin- tendent of public works, to be filled by the highway engin- ger at an additional salary of S1,000 a year. Another senate measure appropriates $5,O00 for predatory animal control.
 The Lomen labor bill, re- quiring contractors on public works in Alaska to maintain going wage standards and pro- viding that subcontracts shall be reduced to a day wage bas- is for computation purposes passed the senate.

CHAMBER COMMERCE
 ID MAKE STRONG G
 URGE FOR HIGH WAY

The Hyder Chamber of Com merce is preparing to launch an immediate and energentic effort to draw to official and public attention to the highly important fact that Fly der is the most accessible point in Alaska that can be reached over the Pacific -Yuk- on-Alaska Highway and also that the Hyder district pre- sents scenic attractions excell- ing those of virtually every other section of Alaska.
 The decision to undertake a determined campaign to place these and other import ant facts concerning the Hyder district and it's close proximity to the projected international highway before the world was taken at special meeting of the local organization held in the Chamber of Commerce Hall Wednesday evening. The meeting was called primarily to discuss the highway ques- ton with representatives of the Stewart Board of Trade with a view to concerted ac- tion toward bringing a branch of the big highway to Stewart and Hyder.
 The Stewart delegation in- cluded H. w. M. Rolston, E. Love, R. E. Haack, H. P. Gib- son, w. R. Tooth, w. D. Smith and P. s. Jack, all leading business men of Hyder's near est communal neighbor.
 MT. Rolston voiced the views of the delegation and present en a clear and concise descrip- ton of the highway situation, pointing out that there is at present an impression in the minds of the British Columbia officials that the route of the big highway will be located some 30 or 40 miles farther to the eastward of Stewart than is expected locally. MT. Rolston then outlined on a map of British Columbia the sev- eral routes which will be con sidered by the American and Canadian highway commis- sioners when they meet to dis cuss the big project and point ed out that of the three most prominent ones, the western most, extending by way of Kit wanga over to the Mass riv- CT, would strike closest to this section and would serve the most territory, but would cost somewhat more than a so-call- ed central route running a con- siderable distance to the east ward.
 MT. Rolston said if we can induce the construction of the most westerly route to the Mass and northward close to Meziadin Lake, it will bring the Highway within a compar- atively short distance of Stew art and Hyder.
 There is one more important objection to this route, the speaker said. Being close to the mountains, there would be more snow and a resulting shorter season for travel. This fact combined with the added factor that a route some what farther east over lower and more level country would cost less might result in the more easterly route being selected. A short spur some 30 or 40 miles long would connect us

EXPECT BATTLE

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, Oct.
29.-Sa turday's intersectional
clash between "Bo" McMillin's
Kansas Aggies and Greasy"
Neale's West Virginia Mountain
eers should produce the most COL
orful and exciting game ever
played at Mountaineer Field.
Football fans who viewed last
years battle between these
elevens at Morgantown went away
to the man vowing that the bat
tie was the most thrilling ever
seen here. The meeting If the
same elevens is bound to be even
more spine chilling this year.
Aggies Powerful
The Kansas AggieS are more
powerful than they we're last year
at this time, and in fact have not
lost a football game since their
appearance here on November 8,
1880. The famous "Bo" McMillin's
eleven went back to Kansas and
proceeded to trounce Missouri 20
l3; Iowa Ttate, 1870; Centre, 27-O;
Nebraska, 10-9.
This season the Aggies have
defeated in order the Pittsburg
(Kansas) Teachers, 28-7; Uni
versity Of Missouri, 2O-6; Uni
versity Of Kansas, 13-O; the
University of Oklahoma, 40.
Greasy" Neale's Mountaineers
are also more powerful than last
year and a more devastating and
deceptive attack has featured
every game in which the West
Virginia eleven has played this
season. Spectacular scoring plays
have thrilled the Mountaineer
followers in every encounter save
cle, the early season clash with
Pitt. Both Neale and McMillin
throw caution to the winds when
their elevens are behind, so most
assuredly there will be scoring
and fireworks galore in the an
nual West Virginia Day game
Saturday afternoon at the Noun
taineer Field.

Friedman May Leave
Yale at Seasons End

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct. 29.
Benny Friedman undoubtedly will
finish his career as Yale coach
at the end of this season.
The great ex-collegian and pro.
fessional star, does not seem to
have been as happy at Yale as
was expected. His first move
toward a return To other pur-
suits was when he asked and
received permission to engage in
professional football games this
season, as a side-issue to his regu'
lar job at Yale.
This was granted and Friedman
returns to the pro ranks on Sun
day.
