ARMY ENGINEERS
FAVOR MOOR!NC
BASIN IN JUNEAU
Recommend Development
of Site Just North of New
Douglas Island Bridge

Favorable report on the develop
ment of a mooring basin for small
boats on the Juneau side of Cas-
tineau Channel just north of the
Douglas bridge has been made by
the U. S. Army engineers, accord
ing to communication from Col
Thomas M. Robbins, Division en-
gineer at Portland, Ore.
The letter said the engineers re-
ported unfavorably on proposed
sites in Juneau and Douglas and
that the adverse conclusions were
based on the following.
THE essentially residential char
acter of Douglas. the impracticabil-
ity of expanding the proposed site
at Douglas, and the considerable
expense of removing large guam
tity of rock from the proposed site
at Juneau"
Tests of the channel in the dis
trict just above the bridge were
taken several months ago by Army
engineers following the hearing
held here last summer by Col. H.
j. Wild OF the Army engineering
corps.

SKETCH WAY
 TO FREEDOM

PITTSBURGH, Jan. Is. - Laszlo Gabor, art teacher at Carnegie h. stitute of Technology, sketched his way out of an enemy prison camp in the World War.
 An Austrian Lieutenant on the Eastern front in 1916, he was cap- tured by the Russians and intern cd with 250 other officers in a camp in the Ural Mountains.
 He helped publish a newspaper, printed from type another prisoner carved from wood, and illustrated by Gabor's woodcuts.
 That enterprise attracted the at- tention of an official in a nearby town, and Gabor was taken to the village to sketch posters.
 He won the friendship of a Rus sian girl who brought him a genu- inc passport to copy.
 With the forged papers and a river steamer passage booked by the girl, he reached Ufa, got aid from the Danish Consul, and final ly made his way across the German border, then to Austria.

With it's complete membership present for the first time this ses- sion, the 18th Territorial Legislature passed its first bill this afternoon when it approved the deficiency bill known as House bill No. l. The measure, which calls for $58,000 to pay the deficit in the various bounty funds, including wolf and coyote, and $1000 for auditing, now gees to the Senate where it is ex- pected to get early action as daily appeals are being made on the Ter ritory by those who have bounty money coming.
