 A recent caller at the Delegates office was J. G. Molineux, who was in the Government service in Alaska from 1919 to 1928. His mother is now a resident of Sitka. MT. Molineux is with the Farm Credit Association here.
 It. Albert Hickey, U. s. N., re- newed his acquaintance with the Delegate the other day. It. Hickey came East with the battle fleet for maneuvers on the Atlantic Coast. He is a son of MT. and MS. Ross Hickey, who lived for many years at Chickaloon but who now are located in California.
 Two Alaska possmasterships were filled during the past week upon of MT. Dimond. Mrs. Kathryn Knight was appoint ed Postmaster of Circle to succeed C. w. Alexander, resigned, and J. L. Jean was named Postmaster of Goodnews Bay. He succeeds D. Bernard Bull, who also resigned.
 Hopeful of interesting Jne Fed cral Emergency Relief Administra- tion in a cooperative colony, A. A. Steiner, oldtimer of the Northland, has been in Washington for some little time. His plan is to borrow enough money from the EZRA to establish the colony, which would repay the loan over period of years. Colonists. according to MT. Steiners plan, would be recruited chiefly from Minnesota, where he has been living recently. He says that already enough people have signified their eagerness to go to Alaska to create a good-sized com- munity MT. Steiner was in the North from the Klondike days un- til 1921 and since then he has been living in the States.
 E. A. Tonseth, Chief Deputy Clerk of the District Court for the Fourth Division, and Mrs. Tonseth started their journey homeward for Fair banks some days ago after visiting in Washington with It. and Mrs. Thomas H. Tonseth.
 To mention once again the de- ficiency appropriation bill, that last minute ".catch-an" has an item proposed by Delegate Dimond and accepted by the committee and the House providing for the payment to former employees of agricultural experiment stations in Alaska, Ha- waii and the Virgin Islands of cash in lieu of accumulated leave.
 In Alaska many of these em- ployees had leave with pay due them about the time the Agricul- tural Department made ready to close some of these stations and turn others over to the Alaska Col lege. But in view of the fact that many duties had to be performed in connection with the withdrawal none of the employees received their vacation and they left the service without either vacation or money. The present item will serve to give these persons the money that is rightfully theirs.
 One more Alaska young man has been commissioned an ensign in Uncle Sam's Navy. He is Henry L. Miller of Fairbanks, who grad uated few days ago from the Naval Academy. He is now on a short vacation, at the conclusion of which he will report for duty on the battleship Texas. Two of his sisters, Miss Albina Miller of Chi cago, and Miss Josephine Miller of Washington, attended the grad uation exercises.
 AS it passed the House the de- ficiency bill carried an appropria- tion for $650o0, 900 for public build ings previously approved by Con- gress. It will be remembered that sl00, ,000, ,000 available for such con- struction last year was impounded,
