Chamber Luncheon

The regular Tuesday noon luncheon of the N. w. Alaska Chamber of Commerce was held at Cavey's Bakery with a nor nal attendance present.
 Visitors included Arthur J. Baldwin, noted New York attor- ney, and a heavy investor in the Lomen Commercial Go, enterpris- $ in this section; Captain Arthur Joachim. Captain Savin Craft, and MT Trail, members of the U. s. Board of Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers, and Carl J. Lomen, National Counselor at Washing ton. D. C., of the Chamber.
 Following the reading of the minutes of the last meetings, Chairman Morcom called upon National Counselor Lomen for a report on the activities in the cap ital. MT. Lomen, described at some length the work necessary to bring about legislation for Al aska, and pointed with pride to some of the achievements, which the Northwestern Alaska Cham Der of Commerce had effected of recent years. The credit for much of the work was given to the many friends of Alaska in Wash ington, D. C., and New York City.
 O. S. Weaver. a returning mem Der of the Chamber on the first boat declared he had carried the banner of Alaska and Nome, dur ing the past winter, on his trips about the States.
 Members of the Board of Steamboat Inspectors spoke brief ly of their work in Alaska and illustrated some of their points with humorous anecdotes.
 Arthus J. Baldwin, who is wis., iting Nome, was called upon and dwelt at some length on the great future destined for Alaska, point ed to the vast areas and possib- ilities for development. He de- clared he had thoroughly enjoyed his trip through Alaska to Nome, and expected to remain here for some time yet before returning to his duties in connection with his law firm in New York.
 Leroy Sullivan drew attention to the passage by Congress of a moratorium bill for assessment work, stating that this year AL aska was believed to have been included. He suggested wiring Delegate Dimond to ascertain de- finitely if assessment work in AL aska was suspended this year. The secretary was ordered to communicate at once with the Delegate.
 No new business before the meeting, the session was adjourn ed to meet again the second Tues day in July.

Tie recent rains of the last two days have been a God-send to the mining industry in this section, many of the smaller mine operat- rS and some of the bigger opera .ors were forced to suspend min iag operations temporarily. But it will be necessary for this section 10 become good and wet if the mining operators and employees are to get in a good season. If we don't pray hard for lots of rain. we may have to send out side for a rain-maker.

RIVER
BAY PROJECT
S5OO,OOO Project To Open
Channel Between Bay and
Atlantic Ocean
STATE NOTABLES THERE

The man, who fifty years ago
advocated a link between the In
dian River Bay and the Atlantic
Ocean drove the first steel sheath
ing that started the actual con
struction work Monday on the In
dian River Inlet project near Re
hoboth which is expected to bring
new industrial and resort life to
this coastal area. He was Charles
w. Cullen, chairman Of the Della
ware State Highway Commission,
and owner of The Hawks Nest"
bautiful estate on the Indian
River above Oak Orchard Many
years ago he even headed a CO
operative movement to open the
inlet in bringing new marine life
to the inland bays along the coast.
Standing beside Mr. Cullen as he
drove down the first steel sheath
ing were W. w. Mack, chief en-
gineer of the State Highway De
partment, Chauncey p. Holcomb,
secretary of the commission, John
r. Kitchens, division engineer;
Frank E. Wright, federal engineer
of Philadelphia in charge of the
work, and r. w. Pollard from the
U. S. engineers Office in Philadel-
phia, his assistants. At exactly
three o'clock the whistles on the
cranes blew and Mr. Cullen, in the
presence Of at least 100 notables
from the state, struck the blow
that really started the S500000 in

CONTROL GAME
AND MOSQUITO
Move For Cooperative AssO-
citation For Control of
Each Seen
BOTH FOR PUBLIC GOOD

"A proposal for setting up new
state organization to combine the
cooperative interests of mosquito
control and game conservation in
Delaware was made Monday by
Anthony Higgins of Sussex Coun-
ty, former vice-president of the
State Game and Fish Protective
Association. He would call the
new body the Mosquito Control
and Wildlife Cooperative Associa-
ton" Mr.. Higgins offered his
resignation last Friday as an offic-
er of the game and fish association
when other officials refused to co
operate with mosquito control
heads at a heated controversy in
Dover. w. S. Corkran, executive
officer of the Delaware Mosquito
Control Commission, had attempt
ed to convince game conservation
lists that his control methods had
not been detrimental to Wildlife as
some had claimed and Mr.. Hig-
gins had supported his contentious.
Mr. Higgins believes the two inter
ests can be combined for the eco
nomic welfare Of Delaware and
feels immediate steps should be
taken to insure the continuance of
mosquito control, conducted for
the past four years by CCC labor.
"A cooperative organization, he
said, would have great weight, 1
think, in bringing about a new CO
operation between the agencies
now temporarily at odds with each
other" Under federal ruling, the
mosquito control work in Delaware
in the two camps at Magnolia and
Leipsic is destined to end. The
camp at Leipsic will be placed on
game conservation under the u. S.
Bureau Of Biological Survey on
March 81. The bureau has al
ways opposed mosquito control
methods in Delaware. Comment
ing on the controversial situation
now existing in the state as a re
suit Of this action on the part of
the government, Mr.. Higgins says:
There is an immediate need for
some organization that will be rep
resentative of all the people, that
VIII consider the rights of minor
tiles as well as majorities, and find
the common ground on which the
greatest good for the greatest
number win result. Since the Bio
logical Survey does not condemn
all mosquito control as SUCH and
since the Delaware Mosquito Con
trol authorities have cooperated
Where practical an agreement be-
tween both agencies would seem
timely. The welfare of wildlife is
only one Of the important aspects
of mosquito control. Its primary
uuty Is to safeguard the comfort,
nealth and economic security of
thousands of human beings. Such
a cooperative organization would
nave great weight in bringing
ABOUT new understanding be-
tween the agencies now temporar-
ny al odds with each other"
