 Major Elliott visited San Fran cisco where he met with the Al aska Committee of its Chamber of Commerce. This is organized on lines similar to the Alaska Depart menu of the Seattle Chamber. It is anxious to cooperate with AL aska chambers and anything re- ferred to it will be received sym pathetically and acbed on intelli- gently, he said.
 The San Francisco Chamber will stage an Alaska trip and go as far north as Fairbanks over the Alaska Railroad, returning to the coast over Richardson Highway he said. Advices received from the Chamber direct by the local or ganization said the party would ar- rive here rorthbound on August 8.
 Getting Highway Data
 There are no new developments $ on the Pacific Yukon Highway project, Maj Elliott said. With his fellow members of the American section-Messrs. E. w. Sawyer and Herbert Rice, they met the Can- adian members in Seattle last Octo- ber They agreed that the project was feasible from an engineering standpoint, and personally the y were convinced it was economically justifiable. However, the informa- tion they had was insufficient to make showing to that effect and Investigations are now being made to assemble, the needed economic data.
 Maxi Reveals Plans
 George Maxi, of the Juneau Radio Service, revealed plans he has worked out for the installation of a 50-watt radio broadcaster in this city. He became interested in hte project several months ago and considerable local sentiment has been disclosed favorable to it, he said.
 The installation, if made, will include remote control connection with local churches and other places from which programs can be had for broadoasting. Electrical transcriptions are now available for use, and he declared it woud be possible to inaugurate sched- ule that would furnish local radio owners excellent programs and make their receivers more valuable than they now are.
 Financed By Subscriptions
 He eStimated the cost of in stallation at about $5.O00 for the type of station under consideration. The cost, he declared. would have to be financed by subscription in the form of stock or bonds. He expected to canvass local business men and if the funds were avail able, the project would be put through. He was confident that it could be made self supporting. MT. Maxi did not ask for the Cham Dsr's endorsement, but merely laid his proposition before it.

said. Last year, Congress appro- priated $800,0o0.
 Economy Is Watchword
 The Government, faced with an enormous deficit this year, has made economy its watchword, he said. Not only is the executive branch insisting upon lessened costs of governmental operation, but Con- gress has shown itself to be equally adamant when it comes to appro- priating funds for next years ad- ministratton. and all appropriations are being closely scrutinized and many of them slashed below ap- proved estimates. e The decrease in the Alaska Road Commissions funds, he admitted, will have a disastrous effect upon some enterprises. Some of them will have to be abandoned at least temporarily, and others will have to be curtaiIed.
 Conditions, said Major Elliott, really are serious. The continua- ton of industrial set-up is uncer- tain and within the next few years striking changes in relations that have existed for years may become necessary. Mechanical processes have advanced to such an extent that production exceeds very large ly the consuming power of the nation. W NGyU Some labor is employed all the time, and much of it has no en- ployment. It may be necessary to adjust the system so that employ ment can be spread out to cover everyone.

Elliott was in Washington when the two hunger marches were staged on the capital The first, sponsored by the Reds, got a cold receptiOn The sscond, led by Fath- CT Fox, of Pittsburgh. was orderly, presented it's program for Federal assistance, and was courteously re- ceived. It's proposals, however. were not acceptable to the Administra- ton and probably will not be adopted.
 Cities and States are making valiant efforts to cope with the unemployment situation. Some of them have provided emergency funds for public works from which the needy earn sufficient to feed and shelter themselves, while others are taking care of the needy with direct charity, he said
 Not Needed Here
 This, he pointed out, has not been found necessary here. The conditions locally are far better than those in the States, However, If later in the winter. such need sh0uld arise, he suggested that public funds be used to provide work, pointing out that Willoughby

rough and unkempt."

DE VALERA WARNED BY
 BRITISH GOVERNMENT

BIRMINGHAM, Eng.-The British Government Friday night warned Ramon de Valera, new president of the Irish Free State, that his inten- tion to abolish the oath of allegiance to the British crown and to withhold land annuities payable to Great Brit ain would cause the Government the greatest concern"
 De Valera has pledged himself to abolish the oath as not mandatory and also to withhold the annuities, amounting to 15,OOO,OOO pounds an- nually. He holds they are not legal ly or morally payable to Great Brit ain.
 DUBLIN.-De Valera, the new president, put into effect the first blanks of his reform program.

Anchorage Times.9

There is the nope that the calamity which recently befel the na' ives along rhe Boring Sea coast when they were washed from their homes by tidal wave, will speed the plans of the
 Office of Indian Affairs to move it's charges from that inhospitable region ito a more desirable location in the Interior. For some time past there ihas been talk of establishing the coastal natives in the Stony river district, where there is timber for comfortable cabins and abundance of game for food, and fairly good trap ping areas when furs are plentiful
 Almost any locality away from the :stormswept Boring coast would inn prove the condition of the aborigines who are now scattered over the low, flat country north of the mouth of the Kuskokwim river, many of them liv- ing in the ground under conditions that almost beggar description. It is "a waste of money and effort to at tempt to do anything for them so long as they remain where they are. exposed to the full fury of the ele- ments. but they might become less of .a liability if they could be indhced to move inland, away from the danger sof flood and the constant menace of famine and disease

 QUESTION COMING CAMPAIGN

The statement was issued through the National Popular Govern ment League.
 Speaking of presidential possibih- ties, the statement said if President Hoover is reelected he would remain "a power trust president"
 Garner and Roosevelt are sconsid- cred favorable to public development of power. Smith is regarded as diff cult to classify on the issue. Gov. Ritchie of Maryland is considered to differ frnm Hoover only in party labels as regards banking and public utility interests.

SMALL
 TOWN ADVERTISING:

Commenting on the depression, one of the country'c greatest publicists connsels merchants and dealers every where to advertise, including those in the smaller communities possessing a local paper. Continuing, he says:
 In many places, notably the small CT communities, the newspaper is having a hard struggle for existence It may be a live sheet, ably edited, but the local merchant in many in stances feels that everybody knows him" and that it is not necessary to advertise; that he "does about the same amount of business anyway"
 "He fails to appreciate what it means to his community to spread the news abroad of its doings, of it's achievements and of it's opportunities for business and newcomers.
 Every new family drawn to the community means at least $1 ,OO0 more spent in that community yearly. Every merchant gets his share of it.
 "In supporting the newspaper by advertising the merchant both helps in his own trade and encourages en- terprise on the part of the publisher, and the greater publicity given the town and district the more rapid the growth.
 The local newspaper is the chamber of commerce and publicity bureau combined. It should have the support of everyone, to the end that the great est amaunt of good may be accom- plished. Thousands of dollars worth of free advertising is given away ev- cry year by the local - newspaper. Every little thing is boosted, and peo- pie abroad are told what. a fine place your town is.
 Only in advertising can the local newspaper find reward for it's efforts. The subscriptions do no more. than pay for the cost of publishing and de- livering the paper.
 "In supporting the paper by adver- Using the merchant is contributing not only to the relief of business de- pression and to his own direct benefit but to the future of the community"
