Benjamin Y. Cohen
OF New Deal Team
Gets Pay Boost
Receives Additional
$1,000, Advancing
Salary to S. 900

Benjamin v. Cohen, of the cele-
brated New Deal team Of Corcoran
and Cohen, has received q pay
raise.
The Official Register for 1899, is
sued yesterday by the Civil Service
Commission, showed that Mr.. Cohen,
who is listed as general counsel of
the National Power Policy Commit
tee, has been advanced from 5000
to $1,000 annually.
His partner, Thomas G. Corcoran,
remains at the 1888 figure of $10,-
600, according to the register. Mr..
Corcoran is carried as special coun-
sci for the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, where 10000 Is the

trustee for the Electric Home and
Farm Authority, which carries no

The register is supposed to list

the executive establishments ap-
parently have different ideas what
these include, q noticeable omis-
sion in several cases being the
publicity aides. It includes also the
pay tables of the armed services.
Next to the s75 900 salary of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the best-paid post
is that of Chief Justice Hughes
$40, ,500-$5O0 more than the as

COAST SURVEY HEAD SAYS
ALASKA WATERS NEGLECTED

SEATTLE - Complete surveys of
Alaskan waters are necessary for
national defense as well as for flu
ture commercial use, Admiral L. o.
Colbert, director of the coast and
geodetic survey, told the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
I'VE have lot to do up there
before the job is finished. In Boring
sea there are 10000 miles unsur-
veyed. An area south of the Aleutian
Islands, an ocean domain the size
Of the state of Washington, waits
to be charted," he said.
"Alaska's commercial development
is just beginning and Alaska's gate
way will be the waterfront for many
years to come. That is why it is i'm
portant to complete surveys in AL
askan waters IN advance of the COM
ing of a Commercial era there"
Admiral Colbert came to Seattle
to attend launching of the survey

FAIRBANKS - Two hundred and

district court awarded Robert A.
Clark jr., for mining ground that

by the Alaska road commission for

the bridge approach.
A commission of Ophir district
residents appointed by Judge H. E.

Every Community Needs A Chamber Of Commerce

ishly working for the public well
fare.
Not so long ago the Wrangen
roadway ended at the bridge near
the shingle mill. Its first extension
was to the cemetery but few per-
sons in driving over the highway
past Wrangells beautiful little silent
city of the dead, pause to give
thanks to the men whose efforts
made the road possible. Men like
Johnny Grant. Harry Gartley,
Charles Darwell and others now
sleeping there and Jim Pritchett,
whose last resting place is in the
states. For we forget quickly the
work which has been done for us
These men gave freely of their
time to make Wrangell a more
pleasant place to live, to advance
its interests and every small prog
ress came to the town as a result of
long hours of unselfish work.
1t is up TO the men who today are
still enjoying the great boon of life
of being alive-to carry on the
work of their former comrades for
whom life has closed.
To those of us who have been in
Alaska for the past % years it is
perplexing why Alaska has not de-
veloped faster About twenty-five or
twenty-six years ago Alaska; An
Empire in the Making" was writ
ten. No one reading the book, not
ing the marvellous wealth of re-
sources of this great Territory
could fail to know that it was truly
an empire in the making. Now the
question perplexes US; why has the
empire been so long in being real
lied. And without knowing the an
swer exactly we wonder if it could
not be that as all progress comes be-
cause the right man stands in the
right place at the right time, so Al
aska's development has been hin
dered because at a critical point the
right man did not stand in the right
place at the right time.
We do know this: whenever and
wherever a group Of men meet as a
chamber of commerce, plan and
work for the orderly development
and the welfare of their town, there
stand the right men in the right
place and the town is fortunate
which has such a group and unfor-
tunate 1t 1t has none.

Follow through the days Of the
men of the Wrangell Chamber Of
Commerce aud you will find them
filled with hard work, perplexities
and harrassing details which beset
all business and professional men.
Nevertheless they are making mis-
take in not resuming regular weekly
meetings of the Chamber It was a
mistake to discontinue meetings early
In the summer as the rush of the
fishing season drew near and pre-
vented many of the members from
taking time off from business to
attend meetings Of any kind.
However, 1t is better to carry on
with a small attendance than to stop
meetings and Wrangell men have
proved many times what can be &C
complished by a small group work
ing as a unit. Projects, such as ex-
tension of the fishing season one
year, as but one instance, have been
pushed through, making a difference
of many thousands of dollars in
Wrangell income, because the pro-
iect had the support of an organ
lied group.
Seven men constituting a quorum
can accomplish much as a unit, but
those seven men could go to their
offices, and as individual business
men write letters and send kilograms
with the only result being polite
answers of evasion and refusal
It would be altogether different
II the same project were backed by
the same men but under the full
power and strength of a Chamber
of Commerce.
During the World War, the old
Commercial Club was disbanded at
Wrangell. It was recognized few
years after the close of the war and
has done valiant duty in promoting
the progress and welfare of the
town.
It is good to contemplate the fact
that busy men will put aside their
business cares and personal interests
and meet together to further the
common good. If their sacrifice of
time and effort is actuated by the
desire of gratitude by the commun-
ity their work is In vain for graft
tude ie a human attribute exceed
inkiy short-lived. The reward to
community minded men comes
through the satisfaction of unself-

MINING NEAR EAGLE TOPS
EXPECTED GOLD PRODUCTION

JUNEAU = The Woodchopper
and Coal creek dredges under the
management of Dean Patty are doing
marvelously well and far beyond
original expectations, according to
J. ]. Hillard, deputy collector in
charge of customs at Eagle, who has
arrived in Juneau to spend the win
ter at headquarters here.
In the Fortymile, mining is pick
ing up surprisingly, Hillard said.
Drag line scrapers and hydraulics
are giving way to tractors and bull
dozers, four of the latter having
been shipped into the section this
summer. Jack Wade creek is being
rejuvenated, with Whitney's dredge
on Lower Jack Wade doing we'll.
The Central Development company
and Oliver and Dodson are using
caterpillar and bulldozers in the dis
trict and have done we'll The Can
yon creek dredge under the direction
of Donald Steel also reports good
gold production.
Hillard said passenger and freight
traffic on the Yukon is up to av-
erage. Natives, he said, are in a bad
way this winter, with no game in
the hills all summer and the run of
salmon almost a complete failure.
The deputy collector reports that
all freight for the Forty-mile coun-
try now moves in over a road from
Dawson to Jack Wade, maintained
in part by Alaska road commission
funds.

By Carolyn Evans, home economist
It has been said that one of the
chief requisites of a good cook is
punctualityl Certainly that quality
looms large on the horizons Of
hungry families when dinner time
arrives-for autumn appetites are
clock-like in their punctuality.
There was a time in the history
of family cooking when the prepare
ton of dinner was a time-eonsum-
ing task, but in this modern day,
cooking, like many other phases of
housekeeping, has come in for it's
share of stream-lining. So the clever
modern home maker, who properly
utilities the shortcuts, modern meth
DDS afford. can have saYory dinners
for guests or hungry families on the
table on time with a minimum Of
effort and an exceedingly short
time spent in the kitchen.
One such boon to modern cooking
is Alaska's canned salmon. This
ready cooked seafood is one Of Al
aska's most important products, and
throughout most of the world it is
starred in scores of simple-to-pre-
pare, savory hot dishes, or served
heated with a simple sauce.

HELsINKI OR HELsINGFoRs?

Are you confused by the variations in spelling of Finnish towns? It's because most places in Fin land have two spengs, Finnish and Swedish
 For many years Swedish was the official an- guage of that part of Scandinavia which, after the World War, became the Republic of Finland (the Films call it Suomi1
 Now, however, Finland uses the Finnish language designations for her cities In you have trouble in squaring the correct Finnish names with the more familiar Swedish ones, here are number of examples, with the Finnish spelling given first:
