Governor Kinkead of Alaska Desires
Further Legislation for His Territory
Stewards Purchase Not Such Terribly
white Elephant" After All.
BOSTON, MASS, January ,.
A Washington special says: John
H. Kinkead, Governor of Alaska, is in the
city In conversation yesterday Cover
nor Kinkead said that his mission here
is to lay before the President and Con-
gress proofs of the necessity OF some
further legislation in regard to the Dis
trict of Alaska He said:
"There is a great deal of legislation
necessary to make the organic law of the
district effective. The act of Congress
providing civil government for Alaska
is very crude, and further enactments are
necessary to open up the territory and
develop its varied resources. The Ter
Titory comprises an area as large as all
the States east of the Mississippi. At
present the only mode of travel is by wa
ter, and it is impossible to properly
carry on the civil government unless some
provision is made for the transportation
of the officers of the government of the
Territory"
The Governor expressed his confidence
that if proper facilities were afforded to
the civil government, Alaska, through its
would soon prove to be worth to the
United States many hundred times the
paltry sum paid for it,. t
Mr.. Kinkead viii have an interview
with the President and Secretary of the
Interior soon, and will lay before them
the needs of the Territory. He will ask
that q mail route be established, giving
semi-monthly communication with. Port
Townsend, and that monthly mail serv-
ice be established between Sitka, the seat
of government, and Ounalaska, g settle
ment 1,200 miles west of Sitka, which
was made judicial district with a resi-
dent Commissioner and Deputy Marshal.
1t at present has no direct communication
with the seat of government lie wifi
also ask that vessels be provided for the
purpose of transporting tl$e officers of
the civil government from one point to
another throughout the Territory.
Governor Kiukead viii submit his first
annual report to the President in few
days. 1t viii give much valuable infor-
nation regarding the Territory and it's re-
sources and requirements.
The report of the Indian Commissions
will also soon be forthcoming. This re-
port viii give details of the work of edu-f
eating and Christianizing begun by the
Presbyterian Board of Home Missions.
The Governor complains of the neglect
of the Attorney General to comply with
the provisions of the organic act requiring
him to compile and publish and furnish
the officers of the Territory with so much
of the general laws of the United States
as Is applicable to their duties.
