that the conservation policy that
has tied up the coal fields of Alaska,
would be modified and that some
method would be adopted whereby
coal would be mined in the terri
tory to be used for local needs and
shipment to the United States
proper.
Former Governor Clark explained
how the various island possessions
of the United States have received
the financial aid of the general gov
eminent, while Alaska has been
denied the right to make use of her
own natural resources. The fact
that Canadian coal is being shipped
to Alaska to be used there as fuel,
while the vast coal deposits of the
territory are bottled up by national
authority, was sighted as an in
stance of the narrow policies of the
government.
That the United States has been
drawing upon Alaska's gold, fish,
and fur to the value of hundreds Of
millions of dollars, and had in the
past refused to give anything in re-
turn was the burden of Mr.. Clark S

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. A.
Thursday will be given over entirely
to general debating of the Alaska
railroad bill in the House. This
was agreed upon this morning when
the regular order of business was
taken up. The bill was discussed
at length in the Democratic caucus
last night and is promised a speedy
passage. An effort will be made to
limit the hours of debate. 1t is
predicted that the measure will pass
with a big majority. The vote on
the substitution of the Chamberlain
senatorial bill for that of the house
committee measure which carried
the title of Delegate Wickersham's
bill, is taken as fair test of the
opposition.

WHITES MUST KEEP
OFF THE RESERVATION


White residents of Fort Yukon
have been encroaching on o.. the
Indian reservation there and the
matter was brought before Judge
Fuller of Fairbanks during the
present term of court, by the gov
eminent officials. The defendants
claimed that the settlement had
been occupied by whites before the
Indians settled there and that the
Yukon river had been washing the
bank away necessitating their NOV
ing the buildings. An injunction will
be issued restraining the whites
from appropriating any of the
natives ground.

the national government had re-
fused even to aid the territory to
get adequate laws, and had caused
the laws of Oregon, adapted espe-
cially for the needs of that state, to
be applied to Alaska. For a long
time, he asserted, Alaska had been
without laws providing for the pun
ishment of various crimes.
It was asserted by Mr.. Clark
that the ignorance of conditions in
Alaska has been responsible for the
lack of attention the officials of the
government have given the terri
tory.

The Democrats of the House in eau
Gus last night unanimously went on
record against the creation of a
committee on woman suffrage in the
House. The action of the delega-

universal suffrage, is believed to
have influenced the caucus.

expedite the administrations scheme for the de-
velopment Of the resources of Alaska Senator
Chamberlain has introduced a bill to create an
Alaska Development board. This board would be
similar to the Alaska Road Commission with
broader powers as it would have jurisdiction and
control the government business of the terri
tory which is distributed among the different
departments in Washington. The bill provides for
board of three members to be appointed by the
president.
The principal Offices of the board would be in
Alaska and would have jurisdiction over the
reserved lands, forests, water powers, mines and
other resources subject to national ownership with
the exception of the proposed government owned
railroad and steamship lines. In speaking to the
measure Senator Chamberlain declared that some
plan was necessary whereby authorized officials
who could act for the government necessary in
the territory as the capital was long way from
Alaska and necessitated long delays. 1t would also
relieve the over burdened departments in Wash
ington of the details of the government of the
territory.
Senator Key Pittman has announced that he
will oppose the Chamberlain bill to establish q
board of managers for the affairs of Alaska He
believes it is paternaism of the worst kind and
will serve to retard the development of the terri
torys resources. The territory is we'll qualified to
look after it's own affairs if given the power He
would favor Alaska being given full territorial
powers

He recommends that the government purchase
the existing commercial net work of telegraph and
telephone lines throughout the country at their
appraised value. That Congress should authorize
the postmaster general to issue revocab1e licenses
whereby private individuals, associations, corpora
tons or companies may operate telegraph and
telephone services in such parts of the country
may not be acquired by the government.
The department has been investigating the
telephone and telegraph companies throughout the
country and has presented figures to show that it
would be good business for the government to take
these public utilities, and conduct them in
