nor John Franklin Fort, chairman of

at the State House today and issued
the following statement upon the
shooting OF Colonel Roosevelt:
with all liberty loving Ameri-
cans, l regret the attempted assassi-
nation of Colonel Roosevelt. I
earnestly hope he may speedily re-
cover without any permanent physi-
cal injury. The American people
love Colonel Roosevelt and they
have much cause for their affection.
ITO me this attack, like others OF

Fiction upon our republic. That
attempts upon the lives of u rulers
and great men should be made Is a
sad commentary upon our boosted

ALASKA ADVANTAGES

To the mind of the average congressman, and this means senators. too, Alaska is a great white waste, over which dog teams travel and the natives live in igloos and subsist on whale blubber and hooch. We confess a sometimes fondness for hooch, but default on the blubber
 If by a strange mischance some stateman of the east should pause long enough in his investigations of the crook edness of his own members and the judiciary 10 read up on Alaska, he could inform him self that right here in Ketclli- kan the weather very seldom gets down to zero, and when il does it remains there but a few days. There is not snow en- ough during the winter for a decent toboggan slide.
 Furthermore we want to bold ly make the claim that the peo- pie Of Alaska have more bath rooms per capita, more elect ric lights, take more magazines read more newspapers, and have more intelligent class of citizens than any state in the United States-This even to his toric Boston.
 The people here are healthier stronger. have less worry, more independence, more to eat and more to wear per capita than any city in the United States. With apologies to Skagway Alaskan.
