Picture of a President.
(New York World Telegramo

-f
 One of the finest pictures of President Roosevelt is that of him standing before the drought stricken farmers. His suit is soled from the dust clouds through which he has ridden inspecting the dried up lakes and ruined farms. The sweat runs down the dirt cakcd on his face. His quick smile i, missing as he looks into the faces of the men who were so recently prosperous grain farmers and stock men but are the dole
 They want Missouri River dam to store the future waters They want the Government to build It. They want the President to promise
 The President is human. He wants to promise anything that will give hope to these victims
 And the President is politician. These men are voters and they are dsgruned Obviously political gesture is. called fora campaign promise
 So the President stands there, looking into the;r worn but expectant faces Then he Speaks very slowly and without oratory; Tt is a problem. would not try to fool you by saying we have the solution of it. We don't I believe in being frank ana ana what can tell you from the bottom of my neart IS this:-Ifiit is possible for us to solve the problem we are going to do it."
 So there was no easy promise by demaeopue no political trickery no quack with a crre-aI Vel the disappointed drought victims cheered < It w,s their tribute to honesty in high office

CONSTRUCTION WORK FOR SEASON STARTED Fr ON (. N. RAILWAY

Andrew McCulloch, railway con- struction engineer, and number of assistants arrived in Stewart the first of September to start Season construction work on the Can dian Northeastern Railway, according to the Hyder Weekly Herald
 The amount to be expended this year will not exceed $30,O00, and the work will extend over a period of three months. This is in con- formity to the terms of the charter granted the mining company by the Provincial Government of Brit ish Columbia. The, projected line is expected to ultimately connect with the railroad lines in the Peace River district and would thus link Hyder and Stewart with the trans continental railway system. The charter provides for the extension of the line as far as Fort Grahame on the Finlay River within five
 
 years.
 Activities this season will be di- rected to extending the grade along the upper Bear River valley, and to surveying for future extensions toward Bear River pass. A con- struction camp capable of accom- modating from 60 to 70 men has been started at American Creek, utilizing buildings existing at that point. It is stated that 23-mile extension of the present grade will carry it through the Coast Range to the interior. This extension will include a tunnel of undeterm- ined length at the summit Of the pass.

AID FOR STRICKEN NOME.

Meager details received in Juneau last night Gas this wrtten) indicate that Nome has been stricken by of the most disastrous conflagra- tions in it's history Practically the entire business district has been wiped out and the flames were spreading into the residential district and had not been brought under control Food supplies for only about seven days were available. Hundreds are homeless The loss will run well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 All Alaska regrets this disaster, major catas- trophe to the Boring Sea metropolis, and that will seriously affect its prosperity and well-being this Winter. Aid is already being arranged for Gov. Troy today taking steps to relieve any human suffering and to prevent want. The Amer ican Red Cross, always ready to lend helping hand has communicated with B. M Behrends Chairman of the Juneau Chapter of that organization asking what is needed Everything that be done will be done. Alaskans individuals through the Ter ritorial Government and through civic and other organizations will be found ready to help out their fellows in their hour of need
 Emergency relief work will be done quickly as communication and transportation facilities will permit Already United States Coast Guard vessels on the Boring Sea patrol are on their way. The steamer Victoria with some food and other supplies is enroute from Seattle on a regular trip Other vessels can be dispatched with needed supplies
 The serious problem is in reconstruction of the necessary buildings to house the population and businesses and industries, during the coming Winter The time is short Within six weeks or So the Arctic ice will move south and cut off ocean transportation the only means of getting the neces- sary building material and supplies Before Winter comes much must be done if serious suffering is to be avoided. Both the Territorial and Federal gov- ernments will be called on for assistance in this work. Both we believe, will respond promptly in every possible way

CONSOLIDATION OF CODES.

In the hectic days which immediately followed the approval of the National Recovery Act by Pres dent Roosevelt in June, 1883, Gen. Johnson pro- pounded the question: Can get all employers in America to do about the thing at the same time when they know that by doing it they can bring this country of out of this depression and lift this deadening load of fear and dread from the peoples hearts?"
 That was IA months ago. Since the beginning of the march of trade and industry in Washington III response to the appeal to the Nation, 96 per cent of our 24000000 wage earners in 1929 have been covered by MIRA codes Business is improving Un- employment is less. Fear is passing and the Blue Eagle is the cooperative symbol of most of America
 With all but fraction of industry codified the next phase of NRA has already been entered into. This is the work otsssnsoidations of codes Every effort now is being made to bring related trades and industries under fewer codes than were neces- sary in the earlier stages of the recovery program This consolidation is undertaken in the interest of economy on the one hand and greater efficiency in administration the other In fulfillment of this principle the number of codes will be steadily re- duced. while at the time the problem of administration will be simplified.
 Thus the whole system under MIRA is to be kept elastic and subject to change wherever and whenever experience points the way in adjustments on the interests of greater efficiency And just now the emphasis is being placed upon consolidation as a vital step toward the complete realization of General Johnsons idea of all the employers in the United States doing about the same thing at the same time By this means will progress continue and recovery become permanent h'
