Cordoua Mining
 District Enliuened

Not only the Mckinley lake min ing district, near Cordova, but oth- CTS, as we'll, are displaying excep- tional activity and interest these days, remarked Chas. Goodall, Cor dova business man, visitor here for the past few days.
 The future for that entire region appears quite promising, he said, and next spring will probably see a return of mining and prospecting reminiscent of earlier days.
 Work on Cordova's new aviation field has been progressing in fine shape and residents anticipate the airport will aid greatly in develop ment of traffic to and from. that city. .
 MT. Goodall loaded 600 tons of Alaska coal aboard his big barge Lawrence for his bunkers at Cor dova; lump and nut. Another 100 tons of sacked coal will be taken to the Cliff mine, near Valdez, by Capt. Heinie Berger, of the MS Discoverer, which is also towing the big barge.

Alaska Line and Airways Service
 In Traffic Pact

Perfection of a traffic agree ment between the Alaska Steam ship Company and the Pan-Amer- ican Airways, Inc, with its Alas ka division known as the Pacific Alaska Airways, Inc, was announc-. ed last week in Seattle
 This means the far-flung system of Pan American Airways will rep resent the Alaska Steamship Go. in all cities touched in eastern United States and throughout Gen. tral and South America, as well as in the interior of Alaska, through Pacific Alaskan Airways. This agreement is reciprocal so that, the steamship company will represent the air transportation system in all the cities where the Alaska Steam ship Company maintains offices.
 American Airways is one of the worlds largest air transporta- tion systems, operating from ports in the United States to foreign countries. Recently Pan-American acquired a substantial interest in the National Airways of China. | The Alaska Steamship Company feels that the new arrangement will be highly beneficial in aiding the development of Alaska and in attracting tourists who by the joint steamship and air service can make remarkable speed in see ing interesting points and getting back to their homes.

GRAND JURY
 SUBMITS FINAL
 REPORT, JUDGE

The final report of the Grand Jury for the general AEril, 1883 term for the Third Division, in session last week at Valdez, fol- lows:
 To the Hon. Cecil H. Clegg, Judge of the United States District Court, 3rd Division, Alaska:
 We, the Grand Jury, duly en- panelled and qualified for the General April, 1883 term of the U. s. District Court, 3rd Division, do hereby respectfully submit our final report:
 We have been in session for five days. We have returned eight True Bills and two Not True Bills. We have examined IT witnesses.
 We have examined the condi- tion of the Federal jail at Valdez, and find the management there of satisfactory. We would recom- mend that padded cell be install ed for the use of violent insane cases.
 We have investigated the condi- tion of the Federal building at Valdez, and would recommend re- pairs to the roof, painting the ex- terior of the building, and repairs to several rooms and railways that have been damaged by water.
 We feel that the present fee sys- tenn of feeding prisoners in the outlying Federal jails has proved unsatisfactory, and would rec ommend that cost system be ar ranged.
 In our opinion the proposed re- duction in the working hours and wages of United States Marshals will have serious effect on law enforcement in outlying districts.
 We have also examined the con- dition and management of the Federal offices in Valdez, and find them conducted in a satisfactory manner.
 We have visited the Post office at Valdez and find that the ser vice is good, and the business is handled in an efficient manner.
 Our attention has been called to conditions around Cape White, shed, near Cordova, and would recommend that the Light House service place light in this vici- nifty, for the protection of fisher men and clam diggers who work in this section during the winter months.
 We do not believe that the fees for jurors and witnesses do not cover actual living expenses in Alaska, and especially in the case of witnesses, would recommend the fees be increased. We urge that the old fees of S5 and S4 be restored.
 We strongly recommend that the headquarters of the Federal court of the 3rd Division, be retained at Valdez, Alaska.
 Dated at Valdez, this 18th day of October, 1883
 John H. RossWog, foreman ot the Grand Jury
 Hugo c. Johnson, secretary of the Grand Jury.

Valdez News Notes
By special correspondent

VALDEZ, Alaska, oct. Z8, -C. J.. Todd, newly appointed Marshal for the Third Division, is busily en- gagged in acknowledging the con- gratulations of his many friends. He brings to his office the mature judgement resulting from life of sagacious political observation, and it is generally felt that his ad- ministration will be marked by smoothness and efficiency.
 Harvey P. Sullivan, who has held the position for the past several years, announces that he and his family will remain in Valdez, and that he may possibly go into some form of mining activity.
 V N s
 Pilot Gillian flew into town Sun day with several passengers from Fairbanks, and on Monday made round trip to Copper Center. The Gillian Airways has been awarded the winter mail contract for the Copper River and Northwestern railroad area, and one of their ships has been assigned to that work.
 Attorneys T. M. Donahoe and Joseph H. Murray, of Cordova, and L. V. Ray of Seward, are in town in connection with the present term of court. MT. Murray and Frank Hoffman, popular Anchor age member of the Marshars staff, who is now in town, were the local custodianS of law and order in the early days, the former as police judge, and the latter as city pa trOlman.
 E. E. Whiteley, formerly assist ant manager of the Calumet and Arizona Mining Company of Ariz- ona, and now consulting engineer with offices in Los Angeles, recent ly came up from the Cliff mine where he is now stationed to sup ervise the transportation of boil CTS and other machinery to that property.
 J. M. Elmer, placer operator from the Interior, earned the dis tinction of being the last person over the Summit, when he recent ly walked about 20 miles over Thompson Pass after the road had been officially closed because of snow conditions.

FARLEY ON CHILD
HELP SAYS RELIEF
UNITS MUST LEAD
Welfare of 100000 in
Needy Families Discussed
at Session Here.
DESTITUTION THREATENS
HOME LIFE, REPORT SAYS
First Claim on Emergency Funds
Asserted for Minors by Speak
ers at Conference.

Federal, State and local emergency
relief organizations were charged yes
terday with primary responsibility
for the protection Of the health and
welfare of the 100000 children in
families now receiving emergency re-
lief. so that none Of the children will
be forced to leave their homes, at q
conference OF child welfare agencies
held under the auspices of the Chill
dren's Bureau of the Labor Depart
ment.
The conference was attended by
representatives of State welfare de-
partments and public and private
child-caring agencies from % States
and the District.
The conference grew out of re-
quest of the Child Welfare League of
America to President Roosevelt to de-
termine what is happening to depend
ent and neglected children during the
depression. and to make recommended
tions for their care during the emer-
gency.
A summary OF the situation made
for the President by the league and a
survey by the Children's Bureau. both
confirmed by the conference, revealed
the following facts:
The unprecedented amount Of family
destitution and reductions in State and
local appropriations and private con-
tributions have endanged the welfare
Of many children.
Health In Danger.
In many cases emergency relief now
given is insufficient to protect the
health of the children and prevent their
removal from their homes.
Return of the system of sending chill
dren to almshouses, forbidden by some
States as long as go years ago, has
been resorted to in some instances.
In some States children who have
been removed from their homes be-
cause of neglect or cruelty. have been
returned to their homes where condi-
tions are not improved, and others are
allowed to remain in homes where
neglect. cruelty and depravity exist.
Funds are inadequate for the support
Of homeless children. and institutions
are becoming overcrowded because OF
the lack of employment for boys and
girls reaching 16 years Of age.
The conference asserted the claim
that the children should have first
claim on public emergency relief
funds.
Permanent Body.
The conference set up a permanent
body which will from time to time
confer with the Federal Emergency Re-
lief Administration, other Federal au-
thorities and congressional leaders tt
insure adequate need for needy chill
dren.
Attending the conference from the
District were:
George 8. Wilson, director Of public
welfare: Rev. John O'Grady, secretary
of the National Conference of Catholic
Charities; Aubrey Williams of the
Federal Emergency Relief Administra.
ton; Eugene Kinckle Jones. adviser on
Negro affairs of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce; James l.

tions of the American Red Cross; Miss

his registration card and his pocket
