Now at that time the water used to run
short at the dry season in certain pond
not over large, in which there were
good many fish. And a crane thought on
seeing the fish:
Il must outwit these fish somehow OF

And he went and sat down at the edge
Of the water, thinking how he should
do it,
When the fish saw him they asked him

he was serving the development of the Territory. He
had good legal advice, and every reason to believe
that he was violating no law.
But the grand jury indicted him. The case
against Frost and his associates closely parallel
to that much more famous in which Clarence Cum
ningham was involved. In the Cunningham case it
was finally ruled that the lands had been sought by
fraud and the claims to them were cancelled.
Alaska cannot be developed under the laws that
now control it. There must be adoption of some
policy looking to development-no to locking up the
resources of the country. So long as laws are as
bad now they will prevent development, and yet
it will be impossible to convict who violate them.
The need of Alaska is the provision of Government
transportation, the absolute prevention of monopoly,
and the establishment of land tenure system that,
while preventing the alienation of title from the Gov
ernment will permit the fullest development on con-
dtons assuring capital chance for fair returns.
