AND HOUSE
HOLD LOVEFEST

The President of the Senate noti-
fled the Speaker of the House yester-
day afternoon that the Senators de-
sired a caucus with the Representa-
tives, and it came off. The Senators
assembled in the Han of Representa-
tiyes with the members of the House
and w. o. Smith and H. L. Holstein
addressed the gathering to the effect
that there should be as little friction
as possible between House and SEN
ate and that this session should be
one of business and accomplishment.
Members of both houses spoke along
similar lines
w. o. Smith hoped that where mem
bers of either house had occasion to

development, and eventually wound
teach the people of the United States
that right at their doors is a vast coun-
try, inhabited and developed by Ameri-
cans as intelligent as those living in
any state in the union; yet who are
denied the primitive right of self-gov-
eminent. Once knowing this influence
sufficiently strong would be brought by
the public on Congress to give Alaska
self-government and a fair share OF
our rightful dues in the matter of gov
eminent appropriations.
IF the men Of affairs in Alaska
can get together on this proposition
the results will be far reaching and
will come soon. Think it over"
Respectfully submitted,
H. P. WOOD,
Secretary.
