likes to drink and when she
drinks, she runs around with
men. | want you to let me
know what TO do about her
Ans: Don't take her serious
lY as long as she drinks and

his own but dislikes US very
much. Is there anything we can

ments 10 wed and arrived in
Chicago the 18th OF July. We
were 10 marry Immediately. He
put IL off. day by day for a
week so packed my things
and came home Did | do right?
Ans: Indeed you did. He did
not live up 10 his promises
and you were wise TO break

To the Members of
 The 18th Territorial Legislature, Juneau, Alaska.
 We respectfully submit for your attention and support the program for Alaska and for the Second Di- vision in particular, adopted by the Legislative Committee of the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce, and the Development Committee of the City of Nome and vicinity
 We realize that this Session ne- ceSSitateS greater effort to obtain for our Division our just propor- tion of the benefits offered.
 War conditions have prevented recognition of just rights due our Division.
 Our Territorial Government is not justified to undergo any un- warranted program of economy As matter of fact, Alaska, and our Division in particular, have not been under the stress of excess taxation. The record proves that no new Territorial taxes or levi 9s have been imposed or collected foi a number of sessions save the Vet erans' special tax passed by the extraordinary session.
 The facts are: being so close tc the seat of war, conditions have been such that Alaska, and our Division in particular, has been prevented any possible form of de- velopment. AS in the case of min ing, it was handicapped and in many cases entirely discontinued
 Therefore it is evident that we must urge our legislature to con- slider the facts and wholeheartedly adopt program of liberal devel-

sioner of Mines be furnished with more funds to carry out the pro- gram. The development of much needed strategic minerals which has had the attention of both the Territorial and Federal Bureau of Mines during the war period has been seriously curtailed. This leg islature should adopt the program which embraces prospector's aids and a plan to regiment the devel- opment of strategic minerals by employing veterans, and educate personnel to replace the old pros pector.

IL IS now the time for us to -,aOpL a cooperative attitude and aGuuy toward the Native problems.
 Rebuilding of the Reindeer In dustry Is vital. The returning of Ieer to the natives should have our assistance and announcement. he more individual herds are es- .aollshed, the sooner the industry will reach it's former magnitude.
 The Arts and Crafts Industry Wh4ch furnishes a large portion of ne living to the Native should re- celve attention. Is the industry economically sound with good flu .ure prospects? Are the Co-Opera- i've Stores based on sound prInci- 2les? Is the development of same beneficial to the industrial life of he Territory? Is the life of the Natives and the life of the Whites economically so related that they will assure a prosperous growth? No. 22-We earnestly urge you 10 make a study and take necessary action in the maintenance and the building of small new aviation fields at strategic points. In the absence of roads inc airplane is he miners and prospector's only means of transportation.

No. Fish Survey of Boring Sea

No. Fish Survey of Boring Sea
 Following the favorable reports of MesSrS. Anderson and Carlson, representatives of the Fish and Wild Life Services, the Delgate must be petitioned to introduce a bill, appropriating $125,OOO.0O, re- quired by the report to build a boat for the survey of Boring Sea fisheries. This amount includes maintenance and manning for a term of three years. Copies of pe- titions should be furnished the Fish and Wild Life in Juneau and Washington. Also resol u t o n s should be adopted by the Alaska Legislature.

No. l6-Hatcheries for Salt and
 Salmon Lakes

The reduction of the catch of salmon from these lakes, the nat ural spawning ground of Bering Sea, demonstrates that the unre- stricted fishing for the last forty years has finally done its damage. It is suggested that the Fish and Wild Life Service be requested to investigate the situation, and if found possible, a hatchery be es- tablished.

Resolutions should be forwarded
 to Delegate Bartlett and the United
 States Engineers, urging for a breakWater or sea wall in front of Nome. The experience and losses which Nome has suffered in past years justifies the effort to be made to obtain the relief. The breakWater should also be extend ed on the West Side of Nome to prevent the waves from going over the Sandspit and filling in the river. At the same time it will re- claim and protect a considerable

 first set of experimental timber jetties would not withstand the movement of Bering Sea. Several years ago these timber jetties were replaced with concrete which since have proven satisfactory.
 The law provides that depth of eight feet at mean low level should be maintained, but this has not been possible, and costly de- lays have been the result. The dredging equipment has been ex- perimental and proven inadequate and expensive in operation. This dredging equipment must be re placed with modern methods; an eight-inch suction dredge could easily do the work in one-third of the time and cost. At the same time the tailings could be utilized to build and fill around the basin, to make room for the extension of the harbor and the housing area. The fishing development would require harbor and dock facilities, cold storage and cannery sites. A change in the harbor dredging fla cilities would provide all this.
 The original project also pro- vides the dredging of the basin Wh ch has not been commenced al this time. It is now imperative that this will be done to make room for the numerous crafts and lighters in the harbor, especially in bad weather.
 The dredging of Snake River to the Army Base is necessary in or der to save rehandling army sup plies, being hauled by trucks on clrcuitOus routes to the base, whereas at little expense the chan nel could be deepened to reach the Army Base and discharge directly in the warehouses.

 No. 6-Endorsing the Delegates entire Alaska program.
 No. 7-Roads
 The most important problem for the development of Northwestern Alaska is roads. Roads are neces- sary not only for the mining and economic development, but also for military needs. The program urged by the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce is as fol- lows:
 CD The completion of Nome Teller road.
 CD The completion of the Bun ker Hill-Taylor Creek road.
 (3) The rehabilitation of Seward Peninsula-Bunker Hill tram road incuding replacing the section of road removed by the army, to bring the road to Nome Harbor. f (4 The immediate building of a shortcut road from Fort Davis via Osborn, Beaver and Shovel Creek to the Solomon river.

No. l0-Housing Program

No. l0-Housing Program
 The effort of the last session of the Legislature was made in re- pect to housing. A Housing Au-I thority was created. Efforts should be made to obtain cooperation and appropriation from Congress and the Alaska Legislature should adopt housing program of it's own. This will be the only method that will get results and an early start to cope with the housing shortage in Alaska.
 No. l0-Resolution to endorse the Alaska Development Board and urge that the program submitted be adopted, together with the recom- mendationS including the selec- ton of an assistant manager, an appropriation of S120,O0O.OO for the next two years be made. NO. ll-OCnCClS
 Extra effort should be made tt obtain for Nome an appropr .atio. for a larger school to accommo- date the growing population. Also to establish limited facili- ties to take care of the housing of high school children from outlying points, and also to house teachers. No. l2-Small Town Governments
 The present deplorable plight O. the towns in the Second Division is principally due to the lack of L coordination and the lack of some form of self governing agency.
 No greater incentive to the growth and permanency of the community can be devised than the opportunity to have a vo ce in the affairs of the town in which you live.
 We suggest that Section 2481 of the Compiled Laws of AlaS'Ia be liberalized to permit the organiza- tion of smaller groups. Nome is the only incorporated city in Northwestern Alaska. We suggest that bill be introduced amending said act permitting 20 or more persons to petition for an incor- porated town of third class, with only three members to constitute a council.
 Funds should be provided to as- Sist in the organization. This will assist immensely in the prepara tion for the new State.
 No. l3-WoH Menace
 The increased bounty and othe, assistance given by other depart ments have been beneficial in con- trolling this pest. We recommend that the present law and amount of bounty be continued.
 No. l4-Liquor Problem
 The liquor question in our Divi- sion is bad. Several attempts have been made to arouse dealers to regulate their business, control abuses, and follow the law. But such has not happened. IL is there fore evident that the only solution to control and protect tn Nat we People is to place the Second D. vision under Territorial control the profits of which will form good source of revenue for the Territorv and fha Citu of Nop,a

Elaine was quite unconscious
of his look. She was still sitting

cheerfully, "Oh, well, in the sort

had, he could have been within
twenty feet of us and none OF us

What few homes were left in the
