 Of all the victims of Cooks astounding deception none deceived than the Danes Their record and fam arty with Arctic exploration should have made them the hardest of all to deceive and the with which they fe or the Doctor largely responsible for his subsequent elsewhere and especially in this country Since his fesson the Doctor has frequently been challenged to return to Copenhagen the suggestion of his placing himself in reach of his Danish dupes being judged humorous But the Doctor either has of humor he the greatest hmor of a He not only returned to Copenhagen but he actually tempted to give lecture there That his appearance almost precptaed riot that he had to be rescued by the police and made his escape from the hall by the back door will prise one but the doctor

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.

Now that President Taft has completed his swing the country and returned to the seat of he vii undoubtedly give much time to the preparation of his to Congress By of the general agitation corning Alaska is fair to that he will give serou thought to the questions that perex people and tard the development of the territory.
 Secretary of the Interior Fisher made his trip
 Alaska at the request of and the personal representative of the President He of strong convictions those of Codova who accompanied him trip to the interior strongly AS result of his investigations and observa ons Alaska he has drawn conclusions and most likely has thought out many remedies for existing cond tions These will likely be impared at length to the President That they will have considerable weight may be assumed from the utterance of Mr. Taft before the American Mining Congress- when he said:
 f Secretary Fisher strai ghen out the Alaska su aon you believe he will win my undyng personal grati tude well official approbaton He further said he hoped there Hull in the undertaking and unnecessarily sharp criticism of those who seeking to develop Alaska and that the bureau of mnes created recently would be able to lend hand to the adjustment of the situation there
 And Secretary Fisher has observed wisely in connection with his plan for opening the coal fields shall expect his views reflected in the of the President calling upon Congress to make liberal appropriation for roads, trails and bridges protect life and property by aordng adequate aids navgaton to extend surveys throughout the dsrct create territory with full powers by elective legsa

The Chitina leader., 1911-11-18

There really to be good for believing that at this coming session Congress will enact legislation favor able to Alaska There many saws to indicate which the wind blowing but possibly of the most encouraging IS the announced statement that Senator Miles Pondexter is in sympathy with the administration the see relief afforded to the people of the norhnd Senator Pondexter IS pretty clever politician and he has been credited with the ability to the handwriting the wall about the time the first few strokes drawn And if he is anything certainly Is opportunst His past record indicates that he IS quick to jump into the craft that is drifting with public sentiment For time he of the most ardent SUD- porters ot extreme Pinchotsm but the changes he is gradually becoming ukewam in his advocacy of the
 measures that dear to the heart of poor Clifford
 though he will continue give the latter kind words The President has declared his policy in harmony with the views of Secretary Fisher the gentleman whom the Senator came to Alaska to discred but b. and behold list unto the enlightened words of wisdom that Senator Pondexter expression to the other day in Spokane:
 l am delighted to that Secretary Fisher with the approval of President Taft out sauarey in favor rail and water therefor Secretary Fishers proposition identical with what and others have been contenng delighted with the prospect of securing the powerful support of the administration for this If have the support of the president and the secretary of the interior for road from Resurrection bay to the Matanuska coal fields will cooperate with them to that effect the best of my abity.''
 And just to show that there is nothing slow about him the going get credit out of the affair." for he thus early to the front with the that he will present Congress the next definite pro- posa for the opening the coal lands and the construction of railroad from Seward to the Maanska coal fields and probably the valleys of the interior Pondexter proposes the removal of equipment and from the Pana practical for tie work the proposed railroad in Alaska All of which gratifying for it indicates that the believes that Congress really going do something for this territory. .
