As mayor of Valka, the smaller and somewhat less developed Latvian side of the city, he is particularly happy to see more employment opportunities for his residents.

 Religion In The Days of King Kull
Valka was recognized almost universally in Kull's day as the primary deity.
Thus it is telling that, while 43 of the mentions of Valka's name are from Kull's lips, he is invoked 16 times by Brule and once by Ka-nu, both Picts; once each by Tu, Ridondo, Thuron of The Black Shadow, and an unnamed Valusian; and by two Zarfhannians.
But only the girl Nalissa is there when Kull swears, "Valka, Honan and Hotath!", and they are prisoners of the conspirators, so she's not in a mood to be thinking about whether he's blaspheming or not.

 'Romanticism in Jude the Obscure
The sunburned idler Ed and the fourteen-year-old Valka wandered, arm in arm, scuffing through sand up to their ankles, or lay, arm in arm, on the hot sand by the borax-steeped water, already turning blood-red.
Even if Ed had wanted to follow Valka around to keep her from drinking, he wouldn't have been able to keep track of her in the crowd of something like 150 guests, crammed into the three rooms of Sashka's apartment.
Yet it wasn't Valka's presence was driving him to the razor that October night but rather the absence of some other, nameless woman, or perhaps spirit...

After the demarcation of the Latvian - Estonian border, the 34km section of the Gulbene - Valka line between Ape and Zuldini was left in Estonian territory.
At the end of 1933, the local community council raised the question of the conversion of the Gulbene - Aluksne line to broad-gauge, although this was not regarded as a feasible project, and was pursued no further.

 Gulbene - Aluksne Narrow Gauge Railway   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
The local landlords, who had an interest in the Construction of the railway, gave some support to construction work by providing a local labour force, but most workers were brought in from Central Russia.
Although work did not proceed as quickly as planned, the earthworks were almost ready for track laying and the station buildings had been constructed on the Valka - Aluksne and Vecgulbene - Stukmani lines by the second half of 1900.
As the newly-built line connected with the existing Parnu - Valka railway at Valka, and also the broad-gauge Pskov - Riga railway, it was now possible to transfer freight directly from narrow to broad gauge, and vice versa.

 Zhered-Na (pre-Cataclysmic sorceress)
She was set adrift in a small boat, left to the mercy of the winds and tides, alone, with little food and less chance of survival, on hostile seas and a dubious course at best.
Zhered-Na spent weeks adrift in meditation, during which time Valka paraded visions of Earth's future before her eyes, revealing to her the secrets of the universe and seeing to it that she would live to teach them.
Finally, her boat landed on the sands of the Thurian (the main continent off which Atlantis was located, see comments); she spent the days and nights learning even more from the land, the moon, and the stars, which spoke to her as well.
