ALASKA MAY
 HAVE SPECIAL INDUSTRY LODE

Word has been received in Wran- gell that while a few weeks ago Delegate Dimond was officially ad- vised that the National Recovery Act would apply to Alaska, he is now informed there is considerable doubt on the part of the Recovery Administration as to the form and ex- tent the act should cover the terri tories of Alaska and Hawaii and the insular possessions because of condi- tions differing from those in con- tinental United States.
 In view of this surprising change in administrative intent, Delegate Dimond has wired Governor Troy of this new development and has re- quested an expression of opinion from all parts of the Territory so that the views of Alaskans may be presented immediately to the Re- coYery Administration. The sugges- tion has been made that because of the distance of the Territory from the United States, a fact which has im- portant bearing on both labor and capital. separate codes for Alaska industries might be drawn. Again. the national codes might be adopted with notifications for Alaska. Or perhaps the people of the Territory desire to have the national codes put into effect without any change. The Delegate will follow the wishes of the majority. The Recovery Ad- will, of course, have the final decisisR.

PROSPECT0RS RE" "CUED FROM
 STARVATION BY SEAPLANE

H. S. Graves, Juneau business man, Jack Marsh and Fred R. Pat rick, whose delayed return frQm q aroapeeting Frlp Qn which they left Juneau June Is, caused considerable anxiety among their friends and families, were picked up last week about twelve miles up the Alsek piysr py Eliot Msyripg with the seaplane Baranof, reports the Juneau Empire.
 Fhe three Men plainly showed the hardships they had endured and were gaunt and weak from hunger and exposure. The last food they had was five days before the arrival of the plane. It consisted of flour and water made into a paste and baked over an open fire. Previous to that goat meat meat and two grouse sHstained Fhem for slsyen daXs:
 Lack 9f food supplies was caused by the washing away of a large cache of food and supplies that had been flown up to designated spot six weeks after the men started on the trip. On August 20 severe earthquake shock was felt. This they believe freed the waters of size able lake and subsequently, shifted the main coAfsg gf the river and washed away the entire cache, which they had been confident they would find to provision them for the bal snce of the retRrp jSanney.
 Prospect Rough Country
 The three prospectors were landed at Dry Bay en Jung E and from there walked and presRected forty miles back. All their supplies were carried with them, and the country was rough and difficult to traverse.
 A raft was built for transporta- tion down the Alsek River for a portion of the return and en this the party travelled te the point where the plane found them. Fhe changing of the rivers course and swift waters made the going so hazardous that the men decided to make an attempt to get over into the Haines country and come out that way. They climbed a 3,0O0-foot range and worked out onn a glacier. Hers a storm overlook them. and after spending the night pn the glacier concluded that it would be impossible to go on and despite their exhaustion, again eross- ed the range and reached the Alsek where they were found by the plane.
