ALASKA PROJECT IS
ATTRACTING MANY
Applications Being Recenred
Daily From the States.
Basin, Wyo. Colonists on the wide
ly 'publicized Matanuska project in
Alaska now are for the most part well
satisfied with their lot, despite rumors
to the contrary, Don Irwin, agricultural
.director, wrote A W. Koons of Basin,
a friend.
Despite wide publicity given some
complaints, there are many now In
the United States who are eager to
take their places. Irwin, former resi
dent of Basin and at one time a mem
ber of the Wyoming legislature, re
vealed that he was receiving dozens
of letters In every mail from persons
asking to be allowed to take the places
of colonists leaving the project
"Despite the stories being circulated
to one here on the ground it would
appear that things have gone very
well," Irwin wrote. "True, we could
have made better progress had the ac
tual construction werk been started
earlier In the season, as It might well
have been. Since It has started, how
ever, It is going forward with a rush."
At the time of writing, Irwin said,
600 men from transient camps in the
United States, 200 carpenters and la
borers from the towns along the Alas
ka railroad and 175 colonists were
hurrying to complete the houses and
get people and live stock under cover
before winter set In.
. uXp da.te we have either completed
or have under construction 107 houses,
with eryetto build," Irwin said. "1
think It safe to say that 25 per cent of
the remaining hdmes will be under con
struction. In the next, two days.
; "The colonists are working hard, are
.considerate and expect to stay and
jmake .thls xhelr home. They are well
clothed, well fed, are being supplied
twlth nice homes, ' furniture, good
stoves, sewing machines, power wash
ors and good radios. It Isn't ploneer

PERQUIMANS 'WEEKLY. HERTFORD,
iCFiiEGTlABlE FORT.-. - '
TO HOLD U. Si GOLD
Vault Will Be Built of Steel
and Concrete. -
Washlngtoa The government award
ed the contract for construction of lt
monetary fortress at Fort Knox, Ky
to the Great Lakes Construction com
pany of Chicago. The gold fort will
cost $468,274.
The vault Is to be built on Specifi
cations prepared by the Treasury .de
partment. These were designed to
make the storehouse as Impregnable
as the skill of man could devise.
: The vault also wilt be suspended in
the middle of a square building with
floors,- roofs, and walls two feet'
thick. ' The walls and roofs are to be
faced with granite.
Use Steel and Concrete.'.
The vault also will be two feet thick
and of unusual construction. Steel
colls are to be laced Into one another
within the walls with steel rdds run
ning through the coils to hold them
together. The colls will be Imbedded
in concrete.
Thus, according to the designers,
even though, much of the concrete Is
removed, the steel colls will remain
as a barrier against the passage of
even a man's hand.
The vault will be 40 by 04 feet and
extend through nearly two stories of
the completed building. The space
allowing for corridors would be suffi
cient to house f 19,000,000,000 In gold.

Knox was selected as the site of the
storehouse because It Is behind the lat

Appalachians 2,100 miles from the
Pacific coast and 650 miles from the

The vault is to be open to continual
inspection on all four sides and top

ALL-TIME HIGH SET
l FOR U. S. PRISONERS
Record Roll Attributed to Liq
uor Tax Evasion.
; WasnlngtonThe Increase In prison
terms for violations of the liquor tax
law, narcotics traffic, counterfeiting
and motor vehicle thefts and the antl'
crime offensive of the Department of
Justice brought the federal prison
population to an all-time high this
year.
On July 1 the prisons had the high
est total ever recorded at the close of
a fiscal year. On July 19 the total had
climbed slightly to 15,612, according
to figures of Sanford Bates, director
of the federal bureau of prisons, after
which there was a slight seasonal de
cline. Federal prisons, reformatories anl
camps received from the courts during
the fiscal year 1935 a total of 11,000
prisoners, as "compared with 8,775 In
1838 and 8,007 in 1934.
Liquor law violations are now send
ing to federal prisons virtually as
many offenders as they did during the
peak of prohibition enforcement For
the fiscal 4 year 1935 there were 4,405
commitments. The treasury drive
against violations of the Internal rev
enue. laws tithe chief reason for the
sharp upward movement
The treasury offensive against coun
terfeiters, conducted with little pub
licity by its secret service, has also
contributed to the current expansion
in the federal prison population. Dur
