SPREADING ACCURATE INFORMATION
 ABOUT ALASKA

Mayor Nerland of Fairbanks, in the city for the air mail celebration points out again the seriousness of the unemployment situation in that city as more and more job hunters pour into the north.
 ,rhey have been coming steadily all spring and it has gotten to point where we don't know just what to do with them" the Mayor said sounding warning of condition that exists in most of the major communities of the Territory From Ketchi- kan north there is little exception, although J. S' Rood of the reindeer service in from Nome yesterday reported the migration had not reached there yet but it is expected with the first boat which leaves Seattle around the first of June on the Nome route As is generally conceded, the best weapon and about the only which can be pressed to advan- tage against this unfortunate transient migration is widespread dissemination of accurate information about Alaska in the States. The Territorial Chamber of Commerce the Juneau Chamber and, earlier in the year the Juneau city officials did effective work in this direction Excellent cooperation received from newspapers and other media of nformatlo Outside. But the task was not finished Perhaps it never will be so long there are human beings and Alaska beckons but must be renewed with fresh vgor again if we are to avoid critical situation in the north True all persons looking for work not be kept out of the Territory, but many can be discouraged and saved from great hardship if every civic raternal and VI movement TOW started to spread information in the Ctates.
 If those groups as well as every individual would enclose in the letters they send Outside clipping of the statement issued the other day by Gov. John w Troy, or give the information in substance, a vast amount of information would reach the States and no doubt would have excellent effect
 Here is the Governors statement which sums up the true picture in few words:
 "The continuation of the influx of unem-
 ployed into the Territory in search of work is
 creating an alarming labor situation in the
 major cities of Alaska. On every boat from
 the South there is a large number of job
 seekers from the States, most of whom appar-
 ently were led >to believe that work is plentiful
 in Alaska, whereas the opposite is true.
 "There many bona fide Alaskans
 out of work and the demand for labor, both
 skilled and unskiled be readily filled
 from among the ranks of the residents of the
 Territory. The situation already is serious
 because of the large number of unemployed
 and unless the influx of job seekers ceases at
 the Territory will have a major relief
 problem on it's hands within short time.
 Any one coming to Alaska from the States
 in search of work should be provided with
 sufficient funds to maintain himself for several
 months and for return transportation to the
 States"

THE BIG ROAD MAKES PROGRESS

The International Highway proposal is making definite progress The House of Representatives yes terday placed it's approval on a bill authorizing the President to appoint a five-member Commission to carry on negotiations with Canada The measure now goes over to the where it is reported to have a fairly good chance of passage and where no reported barrier has arisen thus far
 The concensus in Congress as well as generally in this country and Canada appears to be favorable As Congressman Warren Magnuson of Washington aptly put it. and doubt voicing large amount of interested public sentiment: This highway remains today the most feasible public works project on the whole continent Tine benefits that would arise from it's construction are inestimatable"
 The greatest hurdle has been cleared when public sentiment in both countries is admitted to be favor able There are other barriers, of the major one naturally enough being money. but where there's a will there is often found way. The words of President Roosevelt to the Governor in sending con- gratuations on the air mail be applied equally well in connection with the highway: We in Wash- ington welcome every development which brings Alaska closer to us" There is growing proof that not only the President but Congress feels that way about it.

Beavers May Be
Put To Work

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 23-(UP)
Employment of a new force of
workers on the job of preventing
soil erosion and thus improving
the ranges in Arizona mountain
districts is under consideration by
Huling Ussery, district grazer for
the U. S. Department or the In
terror.
These workers have been put to
work on conservation in Idaho
and have produced wonders with
their efforts, Ussery said.
They are American beavers and
there are still many of them in
Arizona.
The grazing service has tried
them out in Idaho during the las.
two years, moving the animals from
streams where their work was OF
little value to other water courses
where their dam building opera
tions are calculated to check soil
erosion and store up water sup
plies beneficial alike to vegetation
and the wild life of the region.
"The animals are expert dam
builders, serenely unmindful OF
such economic problems as the
prevailing rate of wage, hours OF
labor, or child employment sta
tutes," Ussery said.

Operators Assn
Has 213O Members

j. S. Coupal, fled secretary OF
the Arizona Small Mine Operators
Association, has started on a. tour
of the state covering meetings of
the forty-siX councils that have
been organized since the beginning
Of the year
The report from State Headquar-
ters Office is that the organization
now has 2,130 members enrolled
and is starting an aggressive cam
paign for correction of some of
the problems which have handicap
ped the small mine operators of
Arizona. Getting new capital into
the state for mine development is
a primary objective. W. j. Graham
is state president and Charles F.
Willis is state secretary. The or
ganization is an association of the
forty-Six councils, each council be-
ing independent, self-governing
units but coordinated through the
state headquarters office.
Word has been received that the
Arizona organization plan, which
has proven so successful, is being
adopted by portions of other states,
notably Colorado, Washington and
California, and a number of other
western mining states have been
making inquiry into the details
with a view to organizing in a
similar manner.
