The call was not unexpected. for Mr.,

promise. As Canon Nelms. the rector
OF Ascension parish. said in commenting
upon II. Il have never known of a young
priest of the church ordained to the
priesthood within less than six months

Realizing the great loss he would suf-

ALASKA POPULATION
IS NOW FALLING OFF
Territorial Governor Walter E. CLARK
Makes Annual Report to Secre-
tary Of the Interior.

The speedy enactment or legislation
permitting the working of the Alaska
coal lands was urged in the annual report
of Territorial Gov. Waiter Z. Clark to
tie Secretary Of the Interior, which was
made public yesterday. With regard to
these coal lands. the report SAYS that
the distressing need of cheap native fuel
Tor the development of the territorial re-
sources has been even more strongly
emphasized by the prolonged period of
inaction by Congress" and that the resi-
dents Of the territory generally are will
ing to accept any measure which will
cause the fuel resources to be opened
to development-so much so that the
comparative advantages of a fee system,
a leasing plan. or government operation
has almost ceased to be a matter of
discussion
The Governor reported a marked de-
crease in the population of the territory,
attributing this condition to the falling
off of placer mining in the interior, and
to inadequate land laws. He also bitterly
attacked what he called the remarkable
public calumnies about Alaska" which
he said, have been spread broadcast by
the press and have kept capital without
its borders-and the failure of Congress
to lend a helping hand in developing a
virgin region.
The action of Congress in prohibiting
the killing of seals for a period of five
years also came in for criticism at the
hands Of the Governor. He stated that
the fur seal was a polygamous animal
and that permission to kill the bachelors
of the herd on land would in no way
have interferred with the growth of these
animals, while it would have added about
100000 to the annual income of the
territory
