BILL AUTHORIZES REFUNDNG
OF ORIGINAL INDEBTEDNESS

WASHINGTON,D C. - In order
that municipal corporations and
public-utility districts in Alaska
having bonded Indebtedness subject
to redemption may have the benefit
of low interest rates that are now
in effect, Delegate Dimond on April
20 introduced a bill in the House
to authorize such towns and dis
tPicts to refund the original indebt-
edness through issuance of new
bonds bearing lower rates of inter-
est,
The Delegates purpose in intro.
ducing the measure is solely to re-
duce the debt burden of those
towns and districts in the Territory
that issued bonds for construction
of schools, street improvements, and
other public works when the pre-.
vailing rate of interest was higher
than 1t now is, and in order tt
guard against any manipulation o.
bonding activities that might MOI
work toward this economic end, thu
bill carries provision that the to
tai debt of the municipal corpor
alton or public-utility district shall
not be increased by such refundint
operations"

HYDABURG PARTY RESCUED
AFTER BOAT FOUNDERS

A saga Of the sea was happily
ended by the coast guard cutter
Alert Tuesday morning when II
picked up tn fifth survivor from the
gasboat Oakland. of Hydaburg,
which sank Saturday off Cape Cha
con, according to the Ketehikan
Chronicle.
Four men and a 14-year old boy
were on the boat coming to Keteh-
ikan from Hydaburg when 1t sud
denly sprang a leak when near the
navigation light off the cape. They
were Willis Bell, skipper and owner
of the boat, David Skulka, Robinson
Beatty, John Thomas and Harold
Dilts, IA.
They managed to get ashore in a
skiff they were towing. It was about
a. N. Then they tried walking up
the beach in the direction of Nc
Leans arm, but it was hard going
and a long way.
Without Food
By Monday afternoon they were
exhausted and hungry, three candy
bars being their only food for over
two days. Thomas, who seemed to
be in the best condition, was still
hiking toward McLean's arm, where
he thought he could hail a boat, the
rest built a fire on the beach,
Noting the smoke arising from
the beach, Einar Role, of the hall
but boat Reliance, investigated and
rescued the four about 1 o'clock
Monday afternoon. Then he looked
for Thomas, but without success.
Arriving in Ketchikan late that
night, the Reliance notified authori-
ties and the coast guard set out at
midnight in search of Thomas. They
found him the next morning at Nc
Leans arm, where he had hailed the
fishing boat Gravina, skippered by
John Corklin.
II. o. Nelson, executive officer of
the Alert, praised Role of the Re-
lance for taking the trouble to see
why a fire was burning on the or
dinarily uninhabited beach. Other,
wise the four might have been in a
serious condition before aid finally
came. Although all suffered some
what from exposure and hunger,
none of the group was seriously i'll.

UNIQUE SCIENTIFIC VALUES
GLACIER BAY AREA PROTECTED

WASHINGTON, D. c. - A proc
lamation signed by the President
on April Is extends the southern
boundary of Glacier Bay National
Monument to include 1,414 addi-
tional square miles in the Monu-
ment. The original area of the Mon
ument as established by President
Coolidge in 1925 totaled 1920 SO.
miles. so the enlargement will al
most double the size of the Monu-
ment.
The Monument was established to
provide protection for the scenic
and scientific values in which it is
said to be in many ways absolutely
unique. Several tidewater glaciers of
first rank, including the famous
Muir, make striking scenic spec
tacle backed as they are by ma
jestie mountains. Particular scien-
tific interest is occasioned because
only within the last two centuries
much of the lower area in the Mon
ument has been exposed by the rapid
| recession of glaciers. Here one may
witness the incursion of plant and
animal life as 1t progressively fol-
lows the retreating ice sheet. Pre-
glacial forests are also evident as
the ice recedes.
The proclamation contains a
warning ito all unauthorized per-
sons not to appropriate, injure, de-
stroy, or remove any feature of this
monument and not to locate or set
tie upon any of the lands thereof
However, protection for existing
homestead and other entries is pro-
vided in the proclamation in that it
is effective Subject to valid exist
| ing rights.
Mining Entries
Mining entries may also be made
and prospecting undertaken in the
enlargement of the Monument, as
well as in the original area set up,
because due to the foresight of Dele
gate Dimond in defeating the Act
approved on June %, 1886, to per-
nit mining within the Glacier Bay
| National Monument, there is the
phrase, 'or as it may hereafter be
extended" with reference to the
monument.
