Douglas Island news., 1905-08-09

The Washington correspondent of
the Seattle p. l. says: What Mr.. Taft
said in a speech at Honolulu about the
ssheme for handling Alaska govern
ment affairs was no news in Washing
ton. He believes that the great trouble
with federal matters pertaining to AL
aska is that nobody in particular at the
seat of government is responsible for
them. To your correspondent MIR. Taft
said a short time before he left for the
Philippines: 81 wish could do some
thing to help along Alaskan affairs
Col. Edwards thinks there should be a
special bureau for Alaska affairs, and
in general way think he is right.
Some member of the cabinet ought,
nominally at least, to be responsible for
everything pertaining to the territory.
1t could be brought about by proper
legislation that Alaska matters should
be placed under the insular bureau,
but the insular bureau has about all 1t
can handle now. But there certainly
should be some arrangement OF that
kind" 1t is significant that the Porto
Rico people are complaining with
much less to complain of just as the
Alaska people are. They think they
are not receiving fair treatment, and a
native correspondent has written hot
letter to the New York Sun saying that
things unpleasant are going to happen
in Porto Rico if Uncle Sam doesn't do
something. Yet the Porto Ricans are
much better off than the Alaskans.
They are simply little less patient.
William Sulzer, dean of the New
York City congressional delegation, one
of Alaska's real friends in congress,
Just before his departure from Seattle
for this district, in an interview said
Alaska is Gods country. He favors an
Alaskan exposition and permanent eX-
hibit at Seattle. He said: 81 goto AL
aska every summer, combining busl-
ness with pleasure. | believe Alaska
to be the grandest country on earth
Gods country. Seattle owes much to
Alaska-more than she can ever repay.
Nobody can describe Alaska. Combine
all the pictures in natures art gallery,
think of all the mountains, all the
snow capped peaks, all the valleys, all
the cascades, all the torrential streams
rushing tumultuously seaward, all to-
gether, and you have a faint glimmer
of the wonders, the greatness, the glory
and the inexpressible grandeur of AL
aska. Of course 1 am heartily in favor
of an Alaskan exposition, being friend
of Alaska and believer in that coun-
try. L will do everything in my power,
both in congress and out Of it, to for
ward that enterprise. An Alaskan eX-
position will give the people OF the
country generally some idea of the
wonderful resources and vast posslblll-
ties of the great district of Alaska. In
my opinion Alaska will produce more
mineral wealth in the next 80 years
than any three states of the Union.
Nothing would give the people better
idea of the wealth and resources of
Alaska than an Alaska exposition held
in Seattle. L think the government
and many of the states would contrib
ute toward an exposition, and anything
that can do to make it success will
be done cheerfully OF course, you
know the Jamestown exposition will be
held in 1907, and | would say that the
Alaska exposition should be held in Sc
attic in 1909"
