PROBLEM IN ALASKA.

Urges Development by Nation of Nat-
 ural Resources and Full Territorial
 Form of Government.
 A duty faces us with regard to Alas ka which seems to me very pressing and very imperative; perhaps should say double duty, for 1t concerns both the political and the material develop ment of the territory. The people of Alaska should he given the full terri torial form of government. and Alas ka. as a storehouse, should be unlock ed, One key to it is q system of Fall= ways. These the government should Itself build and administer. and the perts and terminals it shauld itself eoRe eFel in the interest of all who wish to use them for the service and deveI- epment of the country and it's people.
 But the construeHen of railways is only the first stap-is only thrusting in the key to the sterehouse and throw ing back the lock and opening the door How the tempting resources of the country are to be exploited is an other matter. to which I shall take the liberty of from time to time calling your attention. for it is policy which must be worked out by well eonsid= cred stages, not upon theory but qnan lines of practical expefieneE. It is part of our general problem of con servation. We have freer hand in working out the problem in Alaska than in the states of the Union. and yet the principle and objeet are the same wherever we touch it. We must use the resources of the eenntry. not lock them up.
 There need be no conflict or jealousy as hefWean state and federal authorf= ties. for there ean be no essential diff

7. N, c. A. Report Shows Growth

The interesting report just sent out
by the chairman of the County Com
>aittee of the Young Mems Christian
Association shows the growth and
wonderful possibilities in the four
fold work undertaken by the County
Committee. The effort to develop the
clean all round man is we'll iilustrat-
ed in the Mountain hikes, team games,
and athletic sports for the develop
ment of the physical life; the practical
talks, educational trips, debates and
mock trials for the educationa life;
the banquets socials and camp fire
councils to administer to the social
life; and the Bible Study, Religious
meetings and Triangle League to de-
yelop the religious life.
That boys will study the Bible when
presented in an interesting way is
answered by the 102 boys who were
studing Old Testament Heroes 80 of
whom took Intel national examina-
tions covering their work.
The field of the Association in the
promotion of cooperative effort is
illustrated by its work with the varions
agencies as the School Principals in
their County Athletic League, The
County Superintendent in his work
with the boys Corn Clubs the Minis
sociation; the Civic Interest of locaI
communities in their "Clean Up
programs.
The degree of interest of the loca
leader seems to be the determining
factor in Q given community and som
OF the best young men of the count.

rendering valiant service.

After 81 Years.

A gentleman of this county pur-
chased some merchandise at Broad
way, Va, fifty-seven years ago. He
failed to pay for it, before he entered
the army. He was severely wounded
and has been cripple since. Life
with him has been struggle and II
required strenuous efforts on his par,
to meet the expenses of his family.
He, however, never forgot that be
owed this debt. Having learned that
one of the heirs of the man from
whom he purchased the goods was
living, he this week made the journey
to Broadway, q distance of nearly
forty miles and discharged this debt.

LOSES GIRL DESERTS NAVY

New York, May 24.-Lester 8.
Walker, of West Moorefeld, Va,
was arrested today charged With de-
sorting the navy and also on the
charge OF stealing 1000 in jewelry
from girl telegraph operator at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. Back OF
Walkers arrest is said to be an
Unusual story OF a black sheep.
Walker is 20 years old and ex-
ceptlonally fine-looking. He quit his
Southern home and Joined the Marine
Corps, and on February p last he is
said to have deserted from the Brook
lyn yard.
The desertion followed the shatter-
ing Of Walkers romance. Last fall
when the war feet assembled in the
Hudson he was stationed on one OF
the vessels. A Girl who lives at
Washington Heights and who comes
from a moderately wealthy family
was visitor aboard ship, and the
two became acquainted. Walker
called on the girl and their court
ship was progressing smoothly, when
the girls parents investigated Walk
er's life in Virginia. AS result
Walker, it is said, was forbidden to
pay court to the daughter. He is
said to have fed from the navy.
About month later, attired in
clothes, he is alleged to
have returned to the yard and, en-
tering the Office OF the commandant,
forced the desk of Miss Alicir Fitz-
simmons, telegraph operator. and
stole three diamond rings.
Chief Magistrate Kempner ordered
that he be turned over to the navy
yard authorities. Sun.
Some years ago Walker, while at
tending a Normal School in this
was arrested, upon the charge
Of burglary, convicted and sent to the
penitentiary.

INDECENT" Veterans
and GETTYSBURG.

The act OF the last Legislature, per-
hitting supervisors to appropriate
county funds to send Veterans to the
Gettysburg reunion uses the word
'indigent veterans" Many boards
over the State have authorized the use
of money in this regard, but some Of
them think the act limits them t.
helping paupers, the question being
one OF definition of the word "inoi-
gent" The result is that in some
counties veterans were about to be
deprived of the money and the trip, or
{else be classed as paupers.
In reply to an inquiry on this point
the Attorney General thus defines the
meaning Of the term "indigent :"
Richmond, Va, May I, 1913.
Hon. Alden Bell, Culpeper, Va:
My Dear Sir :-Replying to your
letter of April. 80, l am of opinion
that the act Of the Legislature TO
which you refer, which authorizes the
boards of supervisors of the several
counties in the State to appropriate
money to defray the expenses of GER
tain INDECENT Confederate Veterans to
the Gettysburg celebration, should be
literally construed, in order to carry
out the evident intent of the Legisla-
ture, and that the word should under
all circumstances be SO construed as
to include all Confederate Veterans
who are in such financial condition
as to make it hardship on them to
lpay the expenses of the trip, and ]
think that the boards of supervisors
should give the act this liberal con-
struction.
The word INDECENT" in this law
should be construed to mean poor, as
it was construed by the Court of APP
peals of Virginia in the case of City
of Lynchburg VS.. Slaughter, IS Viz
ginia, 757.
am yours very truly,
(Signed) Samuel w. William,
| Attorney General of Virginia.
