Now here is illumination indeed Here is that which win make it plain to everybody When Governor Hoggatt was quoted in the Postnellgencer with the interview which here given press of all Alaska stood amazed AL however reserved for the governor the benefit o doub-a waited for the governor to repudate the inter- view in some at least But now comes the gov ernor own newspaper the Record and reprints the whole thing with editorial endorsement The Record in presenting the interview its editorial coum, says This page has taken the following just as it appears Tn the ntegencer and is certain that the views of Gov ernor Hoggat expressed the interview will meet with the approval of ninetenths of the people who have the terri tory's interest at heart.
 So now we have it straight between the ye-Governor Hoggatt really thinks the people of Alaska approve of this sort of thing that follows In this light read the interview now:

The Reynolds Alaska company went its enterprise in perfect good faithnobody doubts that-but because it failed many another we'll intended enterprise has failed Governor Hogga will to it that they are not permitted to try again
 The Guggenheims who Governor Hoggatt tavors have been trying making appearance of trying for years to build rahoad out of Valdez-where the Reynolds people worked-but THEY FAILED.
