cussion, if any at all, to the particu- lar kind of relief which is to be af- forded. The Territory has suffered so long and the need of relief Is so ur- gent that we may well give empha- sis to the general necessity only, rath- CT than prolong the period of waiting by introducing new elements cf partic. ular discussion or controversy. In any event, it is to be hoped that in these petitions to the higher law?making power, the action of this legislature will be made unanimous if possible, for they will thereby have greater force.
 It is regrettable in the extreme that a larger measure of administrative au- thority has not been granted to offic. CTS residing in the Territory. This means that there should be trans fer of several administratructive func- tions relating to this Territory from departments and bureaus in Washing tion to the proper offices in Alaska. We suffer greatly from nonresident administration more so because the Territory is so distant from the seat of federal government, and be- cause there is a general lack of knowl- edge of our conditions among eXecu- tive officers at the national capital. It is sometimes true that those distant officers are not sufficiently interested in the greatest welfare of the people of the Territory, and are not at all re- sponsiye to proper considerations Of public opinion in Alaska
 It is an mwelcome reminder of our present condition of comparative neg lect and lack of fostering care by gov ernment that the body of law and reg. ulations applicable to Alaska appears, when considered as a whole, patch work of inequalities and conflicts, incapable of being economically or har- moniously administered. Some of the  worst faults are found in the school system, and in the game. fishery, and fur laws; and if is unfortunate that the Legislative Assembly is express. ly inhibited from applying proper rem edies by amending those laws In the consideration. however, of those classes of legislation which have been delegated to you by the creative act of Congress it is my earnest desire to assist you in every way that is per. missible during the remaining short period of my official tenure

EXPEDITION TO LOOK
 FOR MISSING MEN
WALTER F.. CLARK.
 Governor.

An expedition has been sent up the Bremner river to try and locate liar. ry Happle and Johnny Van Iderstein, who were expected out from that coun. try not later than the first of October, and who have not arrived as yet. says the Valdez Prospector
 George Stone and Charles Mayman left Cordova a few days ago with dog team to go to the camp of Hap. pie and Van Iderstein and ascertain the trouble.
 Happle came to the railroad last July and got few supplies, which he took with him up the Bremner He said they would come out in Sep. tember, as they would be out of grub by that time They have not been heard of nor seen since that time and their friends are worried collec. tion was taken up in Cordova and Stone and Mayman were sent to the Bremner to ascertain the reason for their delay.
 Gold was found in the Bremner country in 1898 and many prospectors have gone in each year. Several plac. CT properties have been opened up showing good values.
 Both Happle and Van Iderstein are old.timers in this section and have been prospecting in the Bremner for several years.

those providing for the control of pub. lie service corporations, more econo- mical means of settling estates in pro- bate, adding islander to libel as a crime under the provisions of the pen. al code, imposing tax on transient traders, revising the existing list of trade and occupation licenses, and making delinquent taxes first lien on property. The nature of several of these provisions brings me to the sub- ject of revising our civil and criminal codes.
The Alaska daily empire., 1913-03-03
Labor Laws.

A miners labor-len law to take the place of the act passed by Congress in 1910, the provisions of which are notoriously inadequate and ineffective should be enacted by the Legislative Assembly.
 I warmly support the position of those who would ultimately have eight hours of daily labor recognized as standard throughout the manual trades and occupations. For a long time, however, there must be excep- tions to the eight-hour rule, and in a country of pioneers especially should the subject of eight.hour legislation be approached with caution. Upon most easily recognized grounds of common equity, the eight-hour day must be made compulsory only when special conditions can be assigned rendering imperative a shorter period of daily labor than that which, in excess of eight hours, prevails.
 In this connection mention the sal mon fisheries and canneries as an in- dustry whose representatives should be listened to carefully on the subject of shorter hours of labor; and l invite your attention to the interests and wei fare of more than 4,OOO Indians or oth- CT natives whose principal time of la Dor is already restricted to the short period of salmon fishing each year and whose earnings are measured ex- actly by the number of hours they are employed.
 Excellent measures of legislation other than those which have brief ly discussed herein have been suggest ed from many sources, and among these are several to which some of the members of this Assembly were pledged in the platforms on which they were elected. I do not discuss many of them in detail, but among those most worthy of early consideration are

Health and Marine Hospital Service that under a liberal construction of the laws governing that service, 1t was possible to establish and main tain ouarantines at Federal expense at all interior points in Alaska, as well os at seaports and at places on the international boundary. An officer of that service was accordingly detailed for special duty in Alaska, with in- structions to exercise the usual func' lions of a State or Territorial com missioner of public health, A month ago. however, when the necessity arose of establishing quarantine at two places in Southeastern Alaska, 1t was found that the Public Health and Marine Hospital service had no funds available for the purpose, and no ac' tion was taken. Unless the difficulty regarding funds be soon surmounted and I await further adyices from Washington on the subject-it will be necessary for the Legislative Assem- bIy to deal with this subject. The menace of small pox and other contag' ions diseases should not be suffered to exist without means of check. With ont submitting any particular form of legislation I suggest that Federal orarantine law will not prove eXpen siye to administer if local resident pbvsicians be employed, with com nensation only at such times as pre- scribed duties are actually rendered These local health officers may be au tborized to establish Quarantines in stantly in emergencies and to con time them and to defray the expense thereof under directions from the Gov ornor or other designated officer O the Territory.
 Sanitation and Public Health,
 recommend the enactment of suit abIe provision for sanitation and pup lie health Any law on this suoJec should apply to the native inhabitants as well as the whites. The need ot simple sanitary code is presented most frequently in the native settle monts but is often observed else where. while the danger to white res idepts which comes from the exist ence of unsanitary conditions and m fectious diseases in the native VII loges adjacent to the principal towns is constant.

"There is no law especially ap- plicable to the organization of banking institutions in Alaska and no legal means for their con- trol. It has already been proven that this condition is capable of producing the gravest conse- ouences, and it is not a credit to a civilized government that it should not be permitted to exist. Besides the national banking as- sociations, of which there are two, and which, of course, are subject to the provisions of the national bank act, there are in the Terri tory at least 12 so-called private banks, either organized under the laws of some of the States, or not . incorporated at all. None of these is subject to any supervision by State or Federal authority. It hardly seems necessary to say that this situation should be relieved without delay by the enactment of a simple provision for official examination. The expense of such examination probably should be borne by the banks"
The Alaska daily empire., 1913-03-03
Quarantine.

No legal means exists in Alaska at least outside the incorporated towns for the establishment and enforcement of a quarantine to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. No law exists under which a patient must be iso- lated. The penal code, it is true, pro- vides for the punishment of a person guilty of intent to cause the preya- lence or spread of such (malignant or infectious) disease" but this strange provision rests upon an hy' potbesis as absurd as it is abhorrent
 and which, as matter of fact, never materialized anywhere in Alaska A wear ago I was informed by the chief administrative officers of the Public
