Congressman J. Joseph Smith of this city, sure of renominatlon to that office by democrats next month, said sorae- thing along these lines Sunday afternoon out at the Italian democrats outing in Quassapaug. He said, Business has been brought out of It's bankruptcy by the measures sponsored by President Roose- welt, the country's banking structure has been placed on a sound basis and the sav- ings of the people have been made safe, the farmer has been rehabilitated, the working mans wages are higher, the families of the unemployed have been kept from starvation. ." This Is not idle boasting; they're true facts.

STUDIED PROSPECTING
lFairbankg News-MInerI

Alaskans are awakening to the value of the mining short courses of the University of Alaska as wit messed in the fact enrolment at the university and in extension classes in various cities of the Territory already exceed 500 and the number is sure to be appreciably increased by the time the classes in the vari- ous cities get down to work.
 When these courses were initiated they attracted only a handful ot the more ambitious. Now men throughout the Territory are re- spending to their appeal.
 The conviction is spreading that in order to prospect inreIlIgently one must possess some knowledge Ot rocks, minerals and formations. This is why the classes are rounding out and thinking young men and old sters are applying themselves
 The hordes of men who form the transient army that annually comes into this region and treks out with full wallets to the states to idle away their time and money and re- turn in the spring worse off than when they left. Those who remain and go in for practical prospecting or take definite course such as is offered in the university short min ing courses get somewhere. They let out link and step ahead-acquire new knowledge, make themselves capable in new line, something in dispensable in order to score a suc- cess in the world. It is strange how many never awaken to the necessity of doing just that-and they are the kind who stand still while the world marches on and others are enrolled as successes.
 Tue opportunity is open new Tor every man in the Territory not oth- erwlse occupied to take these cour- ses.

JUNEAU SLIDE RELIEF COM.
 MAKES REPORT ON WORK

The Juneau Slide Relief Commit i tee met recently reports the Elm pire. with John Newmarket. Chair man. and NJ. H. Sides. Secretary of the Juneau Chapter of the Red Cross for a discussion of the joint problems of the two organizations.
 It was reported that the hospital bills of those injured had been paid to date as well as the funeral ex- penses of all those killed who left no property. In addition. funds have been provided for food, clothing, etc. for all those who were made desti- ute by the disaster of November %. The Red Cross paid some of the bills, and the Relief Committee paid the remainder.
 The S5,000 which was set aside by the National Red Cross has not been received by the local chapter but it is still available in case of necessity. The Relief Committee re ceived from subscriptions over S14.- 900 and there are still a few sub seriptions which the committee ex- poets to receive shortly.
 Of the amount subscribel, oyer $500 was received from corpora tions in the States, doing business in Alaska
 Tke larger part of the disburse- ments so far have been on account of pay roll workers and trucks em- ployed in clearing away the debris in search for the bodies.
 H. L. Faulkner and John New marker, the chairmen of the two committees, stated that it would be impossible to give a detailed report of all the expenditures until all the work has been finished, and all bills paid. There are still some of the injured under treatment at St. Ann s Hospital, and others, who lost all their possessions, who will be cared for until they are able to take care of themselves.

EAGLES LODGE CAMPAIGN FOR
 OLD AGE PENSION INCREASE

Ketchikan members of the Fra ternal Order of Eagles, through it's old Age Pension Committee, this week mailed out letters to prac- tically all organizations in the Ter ritory enlisting their aid in obtain ing signatures to the accompanying petitions. Their objective is to se- cure legislation embodying certain minimum requirements for aged AL askans.
 Harry G. Mccain is chairman of the Eagles old-age pension commit tee assisted by D. W. Brown, Percy c, Charles, H. H. Henning, and Er- nest F. Jones, Secretary.
 The petition reads
 We, the undersigned citizens of the Territory of Alaska hereby re- spectfully petition and urge that old-age pension legislation be en- acted by the thirteenth session of the territorial legislature to embody the following provisions:
 izen 65 years of age or over who Il. That there be no excluded per sons or classes. That every aged cit izens 65 years of age or over who needs it be given a pension.
 "2. That every aged citizen who needs a pension be paid not less than forty (4O) dollars per month. This allows only $1O a month for rent, and one dollar a day for fuel, clothes, food, medicine and all other incidentals-and it is little enough. No sourdough can live decently on less
 "S. That the period of residence in Alaska required to entitle an aged person to receive a pension be fixed at more than ten 1O) years.
 "Our aim is to prevent there be- ing an excluded class" said Chair man Mccain.
 Urge Territorial Support
 In the form letter accompanying petitions the following explanation is included:
 No doubt the social security act will be before the legislature. But whether the social security act is adopted by the legislature, in whole or in part, there are certain min imum requirements due our aged Alaskans. It is the earnest desire of the undersigned committee that we may have your cooperation in bring ing the sentiment of the people on this subject to the attention of the members of the senate and house.
 "We feel that $40 per month is the absolute minimum amount which an aged citizen can live de- gently in this northern territory.
 We also feel very deeply that there should be no excluded classes ; that every aged citizen who needs pension ought to get it. If there are any persons or classes of per sons excluded by the social secur- ity act then the legislature ought to pass additional legislation to pro vide pensions for such persons or classes"
 The form letters are signed by the entire committee.

FIVE NEW FAMILIES COMING
 SOON TO MATANUSKA COLON I

Five new families are coming to the Matanuska colonization project as soon as transportation is made available, bringing the project to it's full strength o1 IT families, ac- cording to Ross SheeIy, Manager of the colony, who arrived north on the Princess NOrah after a trip to Washington to report on progress of the budget committee. The maxi mum capacity of the project at this time is I'll families, Sheely said, having been cut down from 200 families.
 SheeIy said he was a little sur prised to hear what Senator Elmer Thomas had to say about the sure failure of the project. He said he talked to Thomas in Washington and while the official did not appear over enthusiastic, he did not indi- cate he was dead against the colony as indicated in his last statement from Florida where he said he would oppose any further appropriations for such undertakings.
 ''He probably just talked to, some body who gave him the wrong in- formation" Sheely remarked.
 Senator Thomas headed the Sena- torial investigation committee which came up here last summer.
 Things are moving along in good style at the project, Sheely reported, and all the colonists are happy and satisfied.
