LET POST DO FISHING SAYS
 WILL ROGERS
Humorist Wants to Get to Nome to See Eskimo
 Lasso Reindeer

Wiley Post, the short, stocky avia- tor who thrilled everyone with a solo flight around the world and who now is a Juneau visitor, can do all the Alaska fishing he wants But he'll do 1t without Will Rogers the noted motion picture comedian who arrived in Posts plane yester- day
 That was the smiling humorist' $ reaction to an offer to take advan- tage of the famous salmon fishing near Juneau.
 Nope, I guess I ain't fisher man." Rogers said. There must be something wrong with me. I don't hunt. either"
 Then someone mentioned that Juneau fishing was different than most other types of the marine sport. Up here it Is called "strip fishing it was explained.
 Strip fishing2' the comedian asked. Say, what is that? Some thing like poker9 Who strips, the fish or the fisherman?"
 Asked just what his sporting am- bitions here in the Territory would be, if he refused the fishing offer Rogers repeated his statement made in Seattle that he guessed he would be glad to stand by the air plane with a club to keep the wolves off while Wiley was out hunting"
 But. finally, the chewing comedian-who, incidentally, hasn't been seen chewing any gum since his arrival--said what his sports desire in Alaska was.
 T want to see an Eskimo at Nome rope reindeer" the former cow-puncher said.

TO BE CONSIDERED IN
 AIR BASE SITE
Chamber Informed of News by Telegram m from
 Army Corps Chief

Juneau will be given chance when the selection of Alaska's Army Air Base is made. Tha. announce ment was the business feature Of the Chamber of Commerce meeting held in Bailey's Cafe this noon, at which Will Rogers, noted humorist, appeared.
 The encouraging aviation news was given the Chamber when Sec retary Curtis Shattuck read tele- gram received from Benjamin C.. Foulois, Chief of the Army Air Corps.
 The text of the telegram:
 Juneau will be afforded an op- portunity for consideration as a possible site for a base if the es- tablishment of bases is authorized by law. Selection of sites cannot be made until after completion of studies now being initiated"
 Ask Area Opening
 The message came as reply tO the telegraphic appeal to consider Juneau and the offer of assistance sent recently to Washington, D. C.. by the Juneau Chamber.
 Two business details were acted upon. A resolution. authorizing the Chamber to petition Alaska Dele gate Anthony J. Dimond to work for the opening of the Glacier Bay National Monument for mine pros-I pecting. was passed unanimously.
 Then, in ballot which was close enough to require a standing vote,3 the Chamber moved to table the, request of the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce relative to petitioning the Biological Survey for 90-day migratory bird hunting season in Alaska. The Chambers action was taken after the Biological Survey had announced a 30-day limit on the season this year. However, al minority of members felt that Ju- neau should take a stand, inasmuch as Wrangell had requested one. The motion to lay the matter on the table was made by Allan Shattuck.
 Confer With Douglas
 Judge H. B. LeFevre reported his committee had interviewed Gov John w. Troy relative to the date of celebration for the opening of the new Douglas bridge Gov. Troy, the Judge reported, in- dicated that he felt that no cere- mony should be held until the road connecting Douglas and the bridge had been completed. Judge LeFevre said that he and Henry Roden would meet with a committee from the Douglas Chamber Of Commerce soon.
 Filler Hansen, superintendent of the Pioneers Home st Sitka, and l the Rev. John A. Glasse, pastor of 1 the Northern Light Presbyterian Church, made brief speeches.

MEMORIAL FOR
 PIONEERS OF
 ALASKA URGED
Filler Hansen Sees Irnmed- fate Need for Erecting
 Permanent Monument

Time will have a natural tenden- cy to cause coming generations to forget the pioneer and that is one of the reasons Filler Hansen, Super intendent Of the Alaska Pioneers Home at Sitka, thinks the time is now opportune for erection of some sort of memorial to the Alaska Pio- neers. Here on business in connec- tion with the Sitka Home, M.. Hansen, in discussing the plan, said:
 Tn the two years I have been Superintendent of the Pioneers Home one of the thoughts that has been uppermost in my mind is a Memorial. to the Pioneers of Alaska. There are nov 470 Pioneers buried at Sitka. The remains of other thousands are scattered through cemeteries in various parts of the Territory or crumbling away in un- marked graves along trails and creeks. The recognition of the serv- ice of the Pioneer to the Territory of Alaska can only be fulfilled by the erection of a permanent and fitting Monument.
 Pioneers Passing
 Probably every true Alaskan will concede that such Memorial should and will be built. It is my opinion that the initiation of this project should not be indefinitely postponed. The Pioneers of '98 are gradually diminishing in number If this matter is constantly left to the future the day may come when the people of Alaska will forget their debt of gratitude to the Pio- neer and the Memorial will not then be built
 My belief is that the proper body to start this project is the Pioneer Igloo of Alaska. If they will appoint Committee to decide upon the cost, nature and location of the Monument it will unquestionably receive the support of individuals and organizations throughout the Territory

Wiley Post and Will Rogers made short. pointed talks on The En- pire's broadcast time last night over station KINY. The two were intro- duced by Walt Woodward, The En- pire's reporter. The gallery at the station was packed by those not only to listen but to see the two visitors of the evening.
 Among the terse things Rogers said were the following:
 First Visit Here
 T have never been here before and ought ot be ashamed of my self, It ought to be in the Consti- tuition that everyone had to come here.
 T am not up here on any com mission. Wiley and I are like a couple of country boys in an old Ford-we don't know where we are going and we don't care.
 Amelia Earhart was out to my place couple of Sundays ago. She ought to be an authority on that sort of thing and she said she thinks Post is the greatest pilot in the world.
 T expect to be here a while. will have to buy an awful lot ot rain coats and rubber boots it will take me all morning to buy all those things.
 Roosevelt Sure Shot
 T think Roosevelt will be elected by bigger majority than before
 This here reporter has been telling you about some Senatorial commission that is coming up here or something. Well. want you folks to know am not on any Sena- torial commission; I'm paying my own way around these parts.

"Oh, we're going to stay un-

 upon being asked what his
 plans were, shortly after the
 famous aviator and Will Rog-
 CTS, humorist, stage and screen
 actor arrived at the PAA float
 yesterday afternoon in the red,
 lcw-wing plane flown from Se- attle.
 We will study the map of
 Alaska, then flip coin to see
 where we will go next" replied
 Rogers to the same question.
 Wiley just fills the gas tank
 and we're off,"
 Post and Wiley, after taking off from the Benton airport, near Se- attle, shortly after o'clock yester- day morning, arrived in Juneau at 4:35 o'clock yesterday afternoon on a nonstop flight north.
 Welcomed By Crowd
 Hundreds lined the adjacent wharves and watched the red plane, guided by the PAA service boat to the PAA float, and cheers rent the air as the two celebrities landed. The two men received further re- cognition from the crowd held at the gate at the top of the runway to the float by police officers, lined along Willoughby avenue as they passed on their way to the Gasti- seau hotel.
 The plane circled over the city at the completion of the flight rom Seattle, flew down the chan lel some distance, turned back and alighted and taxied to the float.
 Joe Cr0ssOn, Greeter
 One of the first to greet the fli- ITS was Joe Crosson, PAA pilot and 'eteran Alaskan flier. He and Post hunted together last year in the interior and the two discussed the present. flight last May in Los An ,eles.
 Post wore no coat when he step- 'ed from the plane to the float

Twelve-year-old Bob Chaney realized a cherished ambition last night when he crashed the gate" at the Governors home and actually saw Will Rogers.
 Bob was busy at play when Wiley Post and Will Rogers ar rived in Juneau yesterday af- ternoon and did not know they were here until they had gone to the Governors home. He first learned that they had arrived when he inspected the register at the Cas;-neau Hotel.
 Bob said: q saw three en- trance doors. I tried the front coor and the maid said couldn't come in. went to an- other door and the same maid came to that door tco. but after explained how much I wanted to see Will Rogers, she let me go into the kitchen and look at Rogers eating. I had to be careful, so whenever he looked my way I ducked."
 Bob said he sells papers in Yakima, Wash. He and his mother Mrs. Josephine Chaney are in Juneau on a vacation. They have been here about two months and expect to return to Yakima soon.

Its National Disgrace You we No Route to Coo

NOTED WIT TALKS
 FOR 25 MINUTES
Philosophy, Humor Mixed in Variety of Subjects
 in Informal Talk

Will Rogers, Americas unofficial Ambassador of Good Will. spoke before one of the largest groups ever to gather for Juneau Cham Der of Commerce luncheon at Ball. ey's Cafe this noon.
 For twenty-five minutes the gen. ial comedian--who claims to be the only politician who Is intentionally funny-kept more than 60 persons in constant laughter as he touched philosophically upon a variety of subjects, including Alaska, politics, President Roosevelt and aviation.
 T sent little dispatch to $50 newspapers in the United States after my arrival here yesterday" he said. T told 'em what swell place you got. As a last line, added that I'd met your Governor and that he was Democrat--but a gentleman at the same time.
 Pay Pliers Compliment
 Wiley Post and I--did sorta figure on taking a hop to Skagway today. But the weather grounded us So Wiley and Joe crosson went down to tinker on the engine and I come up here to talk to you fellows.
 You know, l want to pay you people a compliment. You've got 10000 alleged white folks up here, and 65 airplanes. That's a darn good average. But it's a national disgrace that you aren't connected with coo-coo land with an airplane route. But I guess that's coming pretty soon.
 Speaking of pilots, you've got a great bunch up here They have to be good. They don't need no Government tests up in these tough channels. Just send a new pilot out. If he comes back, he's okeh."
 Roosevelt Lauded
 Switching to politics for 8 mo- ment, Rogers paid high compliment to President Roosevelt as a man and as Government executive.
 You know, Roosevelt is like a magician in vaudeville show. He's arrived at the theatre, only his special properties and luggage aint arrived yet. So he's got to borrow somebody else's magic hat. Well, he goes ahead and does his tricks. But when he reaches in the hat to draw out rabbit. he doesn't know himself whether he is draw ing out rabbit or skunk. That's like most of these New Deal schemes. He's got to hold 'em up for public view, regardless how the idea turns out.
 But he's great guy, Roose- welt is.'
 Turning to Alaska politics, the visitor said, T understand you've got a Senate with eight members. and a House with 16 All the Sen- ators are Democrats. and so are l5s of the House members That's all right, I'll get Farley to workin' on that other guy"
 Then the speaker mentioned business conditions.
 Things are pretty bad down be- low-thats what they say" he said "As matter of fact. conditions
