Conditions to the Westward and Interior look fine and busi- ness men throughout those dis tricts are looking forward to a good a season. declared Everett Nowel1, representative of Blake, Moffatt and Towne and Ballou and Wright, who returned on the steamer Alaska from a months trip on which he went as far as Fairbanks. a4
 Mining men are coming in on every steamer bringing equipment and plan to open up properties that have lain idle for years. They feel that with the new price of gold many of thse will develop into profitable propositions. There is much activity in the vicinity of Valdez and planes, are kept busy transporting men and machinery into the mining districts near there. Seward, Anchorage and Fairbanks all show the effects of the tremendous interest felt in all gold bearing properties and mer- chants say business is better than for several years he declared. s
 Practically everyone is inter- ested in the Nenana ice-break, and the consensus of opinion is that it will break early this year, due to the mild weather prevail ing in that section" MT. Novel; said.

SONG COMPOSED BY
 JUNEAU WOMAN TO
 BE BROADCAST SOON

On April 25 at 4:45 p. m., Jun eau time, Alaskan radio fans will be given an opportunity on Station KNx to hear on a Pacific Coast broadcast recent composition by Alice Lowe, local songwriter, and one of the earliest of Alaska's pioneers. The song, entitled Tn The Happy Long Ago. has been accepted by the Universal Song Service.
 TunefuI Waltz
 The song has a tuneful waltz melody of easy range, and the words possess an appealing quail ity The opening lines of the song are Just a haunting melody, that fingers in my mind, It's mem'ry .oems with loves sweet dreams, and the joys left behind
 Mrs. Lowe feels highly compli- mented that the song was accepted with only minor changes which were made to increase it's adapta- bility for talking picture studio use.
 On the afternoon of the initial radio presentation of her compo- sition Mrs. Lowe has invited a number of friends to meet at her home at Sixth and Gold Streets as her guests. @
 Other Songs
 Other songs which Mrs. Lowe has composed are Lets Pretend 7 which is spirited in words and mus ic, and is really based on President Roosevelt's efforts through the Ma tional Recovery Act to bring Amer ica back to its normal prosperity; and That Old Home Town of Mine which gains it's inspira- ton from Juneau, the home of the composer most of her life.
 The first composition Tn the Happy Long Ago" is to be sung at the National Annual Reunion of the Sourdoughs to be held in Ia coma next August. At the Sour dough Reunions, the song will be most appropriate in melody and words, and being written by a gen. uine Sourdough it should have added interest for it's hearers.

 Some are paid no more than $1 a year, but they're on the payroll working shoulder -to-shoulder with better paid and less prominent employees to help LaGuardia re- form the city.
 Many other socially outstanding New Workers have gone to work for the new administration But the | nine, by virtue of their inclusion in the ultra-ultra Social Register, represent the very loftiest social stratosphere.

 Langdon w. Post, Harvard, '23,
 campaigned for Roosevelt and La Guardia. He now is Tenement
 House Commissioner, leading La
 Guardia's war on fire-traps. Adolf A. Berle, Jr., when a wee child could quote Latin better
 than English, is City Chamberlain. The Register doesn't list his mem
 bership in the so-called Roosevelt
 brain trust" but it does speak
 of his clubs, the City Midday,
 Cosmopolitan, Colony and the Ma tional Society of Colonial Danes. He also is a Harvard Man of '13 Lawrence B. Durham, who has just a line in the Register on Page 1 239, is one of the Mayors secre- taries. An Alexander Hamilton
