CAPITAL INTERESTS.
.(By Bob Bartlett)

Assurances were received by Dele gate Dimond that in the immediate future Secretary Ickes will take the action necessary to release and m a ke immediately available tn e funds already allocated for public work projects in Alaska.
 The papers are now on his desk for inspection and signature. Once he has given them final approval construction work to alleviate un- employment and provide muc h needed projects can get underway at once.
 Alaskans who regret that funds were not released immediately af- ter passage of the National Re- covery Act so that full advantage could be taken of the short season can count the Delegate among them
 But those who think that the Territory has been unfairly dis eliminated against should remind themselves of these facts.
 1. There have been several shifts in organiza ton of the Public Works Administration. Only recently was it finally decided that Secretary Ickes should take complete charge Organization is not yet perfected This has naturally acted as brake on speedy distribution of funds.
 2. It appears that Alaska will re- ceive it's preliminary allocation of funds just as soon as any other political subdivision.
 3. The above statement does not refer to money made available un- der the federal highway aid plan Congress determined the amount to be spent in that manner and the Public works Administration is without authority to lessen the ap- portionment to any state. Even SO not all the states have received funds to start road building under this provision of the MIRA. Alaska does not come within the pro visions of the federal highway aid act and the fact that allocations for roads were speedily made tC the states and Hawaii may have created the incorrect impression that Alaska was forgotten.
 4. The Administration is moving with exceeding caution in approv- ing public works. After all, S3 ,00O,-
Seward daily gateway., 1933-08-14

OOO,OO is not an inexhauStible sum. Every effort is being made to au- thorize only worthy projects. That takes time. AlaskanS know the roads they wish to see built, the air ports they are anxious to see constructed, the buildings they want to have erected and other public works per- formed fall under the category of meritorious projects. The Adminis- tration cannot be expected to have the same immediate understand ing. It first wants time to investi- gate so that there will be no waste of public money.
 5. The administration has no in tention of allocating the $3,00O, ,0O0,- GOO in a lump sum. It must save some to inject into the commercial veins of the nation in the coming months. To change the figure, it would do little good to run the motor at full speed for brief time and then have it quit for lack of fuel.
 In view of those facts, the ob- server will realize that Alaska has not fared badly at all There is ev- cry reason to expect more money will be forthcoming in the future. AS he has ever since the MIRA be- came law, Delegate Dimond will en- deavor to demonstrate that great deal more could be profitably used now without any suggestion of pork barrel.

ENGINEERS DEPART

N. G. McRae, mining engineer, ac- companied by another mine expert, left yesterday for Falls Creek and Moose Pass to inspect quartz mines in those areas. The mining engin- eers were accompanied by Mel Hor- ner, of the Overland Hotel, who will conduct the engineers on his pro- perty at Falls Creek. It is stated that one of the engineers has pre- viously looked over the Falls Creek property and that he comes to make a reaxamination this time.

dark marks beneath his eyes.
He brushed a rueful hand across
his hair; he supposed he would
soon fill out and look respectable
again; Sondra had often told him
that he vas handsome now in COM
parison with what he had been
when she met him at the boat.
He would not soon forget that
morning-the time had seemed TO
drag after they told him the coast
was sighted, but it had ended at
last, and he had heard Sondra's
voice in the passage outside the
sick bay, where he had spent the
voyage.
She had looked white and wor-
ried, poor darling -. Mark sighed
and went heavily back to his chair.
Sometimes even now he thought
she looked i'll. No doubt it was a
great strain upon her, coming to
and fro every day to the hospital.
She hadn't had any real fun for a
long time-well, soon he would be
able to make up to her for what
she had sacrificed for him.
Women were wonderful; if they
cared for a man there was moth

Even his mother had at last been

he remembered-she had told him

Anderson was to tell her about
the job in Italy.
Sondra would be delighted;
Mark hoped she would tell Ander-

flushed, his eyes eager.
Here she was at last, but it was
only the nurse.
"Your mother is downstairs"
she said. "Shall | bring her up?"
Mark sighed; his mother rather
wearied him; she was a little too
laxative, too affectionate, and at
the back of his mind there was a
half knowledge that she vas jeal-

yesterday she had admitted-not
very readily-that she could find

AN OLD FRIEND

Katherine Anthony's Marie An toinette' is none of your diffuse performances, where the character being drawn vanishes in a mist of background detail. Miss Anthony wants to show clearly what life did to one of Marie Therresa's least important children; how it made her queen and a great tragic figure in spite of the probabilities.
 So she has eliminated almost all speculation, all of the background except enough to silhouette her characters against, and all literary "stylishness." She merely writes a direct story of Marie Antoinette's bitter life, beginning to end. She also has written fine tragedy which may have been her purpose all along!

FAMOUS WINTER SPORT M

With a fine trail now leading half way up to Mount Jumbo, skiing has suddenly become one of the major winter sports for the people of the Island. The trail, recently completed for the purpose of hauling a supply of lumber up to the Treadwell ditch, is about four feet wide, and well packed, and except for the curves it would be a perfect ski track, a mile and a half more in length.
 Quite number of people tray- eled the trail yesterday and those with skis had plenty of fun. Spills were frequent and forced plunge into the bank of snow on either side of the trail occasionally to avoid the on-coming horses haul ing lumber, added zest to the sport.

PRISON TORTURE: IS REVEALED BY SINCLAIR LEWIS
In Latest Book, Ann Vick- ers,' Author Handles
 Enemies by Handful
By JOHN SELBY


 NEW YORK, Feb. 27. - In the past Sinclair Lewis has crusaded against a considerable collection of enemies, usually one at time. In Ann Vickers" he takes them by handsful.
 There is one major enemy in Ann Vickers," however, and thai is prison torture. Some of the most horrible pages in modern lit erature, horrible because so evil dently inspired by truth, are those describing what Ann found in Copperhead Gap prison.
 But prisons are only part of the things that pass in review. There are sharp jabs at religion, organ izeo and otherwise; the suffrage opposition is given raking over; college and other aesthetes are transfixsd; journalistic apathy to- ward reform is lampooned; organ ized and other charity is consid- cred. There is thus exhibited an overwhelming knowledge of move ments as well as movers.
 All of which does not, by some euious alchemy, keep Lewis from making person of his heroine fortunately, for Ann Vickers" is his first attempt to draw a full length portrait of a woman. Ann begins a strangely direct little girl. She ends triumphant over a life time of harsh experience, welcom- ing her husband home from prison. And between there are few mo- ments when she is not a breathing person, tangible and understand able.
 It is inevitable that some of the incidents that mould Ann should be less pointed than Ann's reaction to the incidents. Enthusiasms or hatreds refuse to stay at white heat indefinitely
