Ickes Considering Nome
 Rehabilitation Needs

Recommendations for the re- construction of Nome, insofar as the Public Works Admins tration is concerned, have been placed on the desk of Admins trator Ickes by Col. Elmer w. Clark, who recently visited the fire-razed town, according to a statement from the Washing ton office of Alaska Delegate A. J. Dimond.
 Col. Clark, who is an eXecu- tive assistant of the PWA, be- lieves S275,000 ought to be ex- pended in the construction of a Federal building. Estimates are that the municipality will require $150,O0O in the form of loan for various projects.
 Delegate Dimond is actively cooperating with Col. Clark and other PWA officials so that approval of the program may be expedited.
 Not only is MT. Dimond talk ing an active part with respect to securing the purely federal allotment, but he will prepare and hasten through Congress a bill authorizing Nome to issue bonds. This will be done when the Nome city government has decided on the exact needs.
 During the course of his trip to Alaska Col.Clark took occas- ion to make a general study of conditions there. He is con- vinced that Territorial devel- 0pment will be materially hast ened b y preparation a n d adoption of a road program ex- tending over a period of years and airways aids.

Alaska Juneau Has Produced
 Over 50 Million Tons of Ore

During the forty years of it's existence the great Alaska Jun- eau mine at Juneau, the largest low grade mine in the world, has yielded 48,627,978 tons of ore and metal values totaling nearly 37 million dollars ac- cording to figures presented recently in the Juneau Alaska Empire.
 The exact value of the min- erals produced was S36,841,- 856, of which gold represented slightly over S25,0OO,OOO, the remainder being made up of silver and lead values.
 During the first two decades of operation both operations and production were on a limit ed scale, as indicated by the fact that no more than 507,- 254 tons of ore was mined; from which was recovered gold to the value of $707,73O
 Since 1913, production has steadily increased as the com pany expanded it's mining and milling capacities, until the production of ore last year amounted to 4,102,000 tons; from which was recovered gold silver and lead valued at $3,187,O0O.
 Over the entire period of the mines productive existence the ore values have averaged only S1 per gross ton of ore pro. duced.
 The underground workings of the mlne comprise about 50 miles of drifts, crosscuts, raises and other subterranen excava- tions. The payroll shows a per- sonnel eff TAG employees daily and the annual local expendi- lures average slightly less than $2,000,000.
 Additional ere bodies of large extent were discovered beneath the original ore depos- three years ago and have de- veloped commercial ore in quantities sufficient to add many years to the productive life of the property. Ore is now being produced from this new ground and is said to av. craze considerably better per ton than the ore worked dur ing the past forty years.

Platinum placers in the Good News Bay region near the mouth of the Kuskokwim river were centers of considerable development activity this year, according to reports received in Juneau.
 Six outfits had men in the field during the past season and some placers have been producing, at least one profit ably. This one was that of the Northern Development Com pany, an Alaska-owned firm.
 A drag line outfit and 15 men were employed in work ing the ground.

 fact that one member of the
 present Territorial legislature, Representative Joe Green, of
 Hyder, has long advocated a similar legislative system for the Territory through the abo- lition of the senate, which he contends is an unnecessary legislative appendage that or iginates little important legis- lation but habitually exercises an unwarranted, dominating and frequently reactionary in- fluence over house legislation. His views are shared by many others who point out that all too often the upper house and it's eight members have dis played a marked penchant for preventing legislation unfavor- able to powerful special inter- ests.

Canada Yields Large Output
 Of Platinum Metals, 1883

Canada produced last year 55,795 fine ounces of platinum, palladium and other platinum group metals, valued at S1,- 502,633, as against 64,956 fine ounces in 1882.
 The output came almost en- tirely from the copper-nickel ores of the Sudbury district or northern Ontario.
 Of the platinum production last year, Ontario contributed 24,746 ounces and British Col umbia 40 ounces. Ontario also produced 1000 fine ounces of palladium, rhodium and rid ium.
 World consumption of these metals last year was estimated to have been about 175,0O0i fine ounces.

Nebraska Making
 Notable Experiment

The results of Nebraska's re- cent decision to abolish the two-house legislative system and establish a "unicameraP legislature will be watched with close interest by political students throughout the nation and may be the forerunner of numerous similar changes in present legislative methods, in- cluding those of the federal government.
 Suggested by Senator George Norris, who considers it the most important achievement of his long and distinguished po- litical career, the voters of Ne braska endorsed the one-house proposal by a majority of 85,- 900 in the recent state elect ion; wiping out the state sen- ate off 33 members and the house of representatives, with 100 members, and substituting for both a single legislative body of 50 members.
 The experiment is given add ed interest by reason of the fact that Senator Norris has in- timated an intention to ask Congress to reorganize it's sen- ate and house into a single body.
 Norris, whose 'lame-duck" amendment to the Constitution was one of the most important and far-reaching legislative changes in our history, holds under the bicameral or two- house system there are actual ly three houses, the third being t h conference committee, which whips into final shape all legislation on which there is disagreement between the two houses and usually in- cludes all important legisla- tion. The conference con- mittee frequently returns a piece of legislation bearing lit tie resemblance to that origin ally passed and more often than not it is accepted without protest by both legislative branches.
 Norris contends that the uni cameral system will eliminate such procedure and make the machinery of government more responsive to popular will.
 The Nebraska experiment should possess particular inter-

S. $. Van Dine's super shocker, The Dragon MurGer Case" heads splendid double feature program at Warmers State theater today an tomorrow.
 The first murder of the series takes place at the Dragon Pool lionaire scientist where guests party. At an evening bathing party one O. the guests and the tiance of the sister of the scientist, a part played by George Meeker, dives into the natural pool of water and fails to come up.
 Police are secretly notified. which brings to the scene Sergt. Health, District Attorney Markham and Philo Vance. The pool is drained but there is no trace of the miss ing man, although there is seem ingly no way the body could have been washed out. On the bottom of the pool are great tracks as though made by the talons of a prehistoric monster.
 To add to the eerie situation. the half demented mother of the scientist tells of tradition of a dragon occupying the pool, suck ing down its victims and then fly ing off tJ some secret lair with the body.
 A new Philo Vance comes to the screen in the person of War ren William and he carries out the part of the polished and some- what supercilious detective with an easy fortitude. Sergt. Health Is again Eugene Pallettte and Rob- ert Me Wade has his old role of District Attorney Markham.

An immortal classic of the English language by Robert Louis Stevenson with these two stars and the addition of Lewis Stone, Lionel Barrymore and Otto Kruger make it a worth while at traction.

 The first feature on the program will be Paris Interlude featuring Madge Evans, Robert Young.

CTS and distributes free to welfare aid recipients and finished prod ucts.
 The town of Millville is just what it's name implies, a mill vil- lage, and virtually deserted vil- lage" before Uncle Sam moved in and started the wheels to turning again.
 The EZRA knitting mill project here has been in actual operation nearly month. Jobs have been provided for A girls and four men, and the place is in every sense a manufacturing plant, mak- ing. cloth and turning it into finish ed garments.
 The products are athletic shirts for men, and brother and sister, suits for children, They are be- ing shipped into state headquar- ters in Boston, and by next month will have reached the 28 ccm- missaries being established by the ERA. There they will be distri- buted free to relief clients.
 No Competition Involved.
 The goods are not to come into competition nthe regular maj ket at all, says State Administra- tor Joseph P. Carney. They are to be given to relief recipients who haven't any money to buy such things and aren't getting them fro mthe government.
 Here is town that was as flat as founder. It~~had acres of abandoned factory buildings on which nobody bothered to pay the high tax rate any more. Stores were closed, houses were empty. citizens Were moving away.
 Once it had 5000 population. Now it has 2OO0. Even the fire department has been abolished, its place taken by a volunteer force. Street lights do not go on at night. But nobody has any money to go anywhere after dark, anyway, so that doesn't matter.
 Nearly Everyone Idle.
 Except for dozen sor more who worked at the Famb knitting mill, a few who had jobs out Of town, and few farmers who worked for themselves, nobody was working. CWA came along, and helped for a time. Then S5 per cent of the towns working populdtloh was dSdln lu1e.
 Something had to edone. Carney did it. He went to Wash ington personally and sold his idea to Harry Hopkins, federal relief administrator.
 He leased the Famb knitting plant. Then sewing plant was needed where the knit goods could be made up into garments. One was found in Foresters' Hall, which had been taken over by the town, along with 155 other pieces of property, for unpaid taxes.
 It was made to order-a long, high. well-lighted room for power sewing machines, space for cut ting, stock, and shipping rooms. The town agreed to furnish the building and the power. Then the project was approved. Everything Put to Use. The hall itself was the picture of deso!ation. The floor still bore basketball court markings. A piano stood at one corner of the deserted stage.

 Henry F. Mccarthy
Named General Passenger Agent - Appointment
 Marks Start of Drive to Reclaim Lost Business

Appointment of Henry F. Me Carthy as general passenger agent of the Boston & Maine railroad and the Maine Central railroad was an. nounced last night by President E. $. French The appointment, the announcement stated, marks the start of an intensive drive by the two roads in an effort to reclaim lost passenger business. General Passenger Agent Fred T. Grant of the Boston & Maine, and General Passenger Agent Joseph J. Doane of the Maine Central Railroad will continue to serve in those capaci- ties.
 The newly appointed General Passenger Agent of the two roads is a native of Portsmouth, N. H., and a graduate of the schools in that city. He brings to his new po- sition not only a wide knowledge of traffic, gained in various fields through an intensive educational study of the transportation prob- lem, but an entire familiarity with northern New England people and northern New England problems. Among other accomplishments, he won, in countrywide competition, appointment to the Strathcona Eel lowship in Transportation at Yale university.
 Mccarthy was graduated from Harvard college in 1927. and shortly afterward became associ- ated with the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. In 1929, he resigned to continue his studies of traffic prob- lens under the fellowship he won at Yale. He then became connect ed with the St Louis Southwestern lines, where until he resigned to take his new position, he was as- sistant general traffic manager.
