AS AN FASTENER SEES MATANUsKA

recently as representative of the National Editorial Association had an opportunity to see the Matanuska colony briefly while in the north and visited With some of the Wisconsin coloniss who are on the pro- iect Back his home town Publisher Conrad Of the Medford Star News wrote his views of the colony ol the Milwaukee Journal and some of his findings are interesting to Alaskans well those in the States Here are some excerpts:
 
 believe man who can make a success farming in the United States can make success farming in the Matanuska Valley of Alaska.
 believe that if the management of the coopera- tive good and the cooperation of it's members is good the colony succeed beyond the average of farming in the United States proper
 There are farmers who have left the colony be- cause of dissatisfaction with the valley with the colony management There are still some dissatisfied residents who probably will leave for various reasons
 But here IS significant incident:
 On our southbound boat was one of the original Palmer colony farmers returning to his home in Minnesota with his wife and three children His principal reason for leaving was illness from tlbercu- losis and family tendency toward that trouble, Matanuskas dampness making him worse, so the government paying the expense of his trip back home. Neither he nor his wife wanted to re- main regardless of the tuberculosis.
 But the farm relinquished by them is being taken this month by man and wife who also were among the original government colonsts Dissatisfied in Matanuska. the wife had persuaded the husband to quit the colony and go back to the old home in Minnesota. They returned to Alaska this spring with decided change of heart after having gained a new perspective, and have since been asking the colony manager to take them back The leaving of the other Minnesota couple because of tuberculosis has given this couple the second chance and they are glad to take it.

MRS. ROSE DUCCAN | INJURED BY FALL
Meadow Street Resident Slips on Icy Walk, Goes
 to Hospital

Warning against coasting in the streets was given today by Police Superintendent William J. Roach. He said that numerous complaints have been received from motorists that children are coasting on many heavily -traveled streets and endan- gering their lives.
 No list of coasting streets has yet been given by the board of alder men, and Superintendent Roach said he is without power to designate any such streets.
 Waterbuvy's first reported pedes- trian accident from the snow came yesterday when Mrs. Rose Duggan of Meadow street, suffered injuries to her back and side when she fell on an icy sidewalk at Grand and Bank street. She was taken by police to St. Mary's hospital
 Many complaints have been re- ceived about sidewalks not yet hav- ing been shovelled. Police have is- sued a number of warnings but no arrests have yet been made. The coasting problem is grave one, Superintendent Roach said. In several sections, he said, children have been using sleds on streets used by bus, truck and passenger car traffic. Police have been on duty on some streets to forbid coasting, but there are still many danger points 1 he said.
