HOUSE AND SENATE TO
 COME TO THE RESCUE

Was 'ington, Feb. 5-It is practi- cally assured that congress will take some action to nullify the failure of the house to retain in the army ap- prOpriation bill the $35O, ,000 for Alaska roads. Immediately the action of the house in cutting this appropriation from tho bill became known the ad ministration was appealed to for as- sistance, and now plans are under way to care for the road fund.
 The suspicion yet maintains that thoro is something crooked in the manner in which the road fund was eliminated from the bill, but Alas kans have been promised that If there ia no othor way the senate and the, house will pass q bill carrying the original appropriation. The war de- partmcnt is taking m active interest. in the affair.

 Seattle business men are joining with the Alaskans in their effort to obtain the money for the road work, and the Washington delegation to congress is being urged to get into the fight.
 In charging Senator Nelson with being the cause of the trouble Alas kans declare that he has always had q grudgc against Alaska, and tn ey say that if he did not take the initia- tive in the affair, he is now doing all possible to prevent the reinstatement of the appropriation.

ALASKAN BUREAU
 MOVES TO SEATTLE
Work Of Assembling Exhibit For A-Y-P Will Proceed
 With Expedition

Seattle, Jan. 23-Special corros- pondence-Headquarters of the Alas ka commission for the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition have been estab- lished in Seattle and the work of as- sembling the exhibit of the Northland will be commenced at once. Exhibits from all parts of Alaska will soon begin to arrive in Seattle.
 "All the work that could be done in Alaska has been accomplished" said J. c. Mcbride, of the commission, "and the work of assembling and pre- pairing the exhibits will be finished in this city. feel justified in saying that Alaska will have many surprises for the visitors at the fair and the work of the special agents has been entirely satisfactory and even sur prising in many instances.
 "rhe work of getting the Alaska exhibit really begins now for we will have it coming here shortly from every point ill the North, and added to what we have already got here it will keep our staff busy receiving, classifying and putting the articles together. In southeastern Alaska we hn every point of view and will make a showing of the resources of that country that cannot be paralleled.
 "While there is yet much to receive from Alaska, our agents have repor- ted so concisely on what to expect that we can go ahead about as well as if it was in the preliminary work. We have number of big exhibits to secure outside, sucn as private colec- tions of birds and curios, and this will take up some of our time.
 "Mrs. Mary E. Hart, special woman commissioner, has also returned from Alaska and will be associated with the commission in its work in this city.
 "Wherever I went in Alaska met with such hearty response to the calls l issued," said Mrs. Hart, "that it urged me to do my utmost. I believe the women of Alaska will make such a showing at the fair that it will even astonish the people from there. In Seward, Valdez, Cordova, Katalla, Sitka, Skagway, Juneau, Douglas. Treadwell, Petersburg, Wrangell, Ketchikan and Metlakatla clubs have been formed and the women have entered into the work almost as q unit with zeal that promises much and where the men have not taken real active interest they have encour- aged them to work for the exposition.
 "The native women of Metlakatla will have one of the most unique exhibits ever shown at an exposition and every visitor of the fair will be impressed with the manner in which the women of Alaska have contrib uted to the exhibit of the northern country.n
