EXPOSITION LETTER.


From THE AxERIcAS's special Exposition
correspondent
Valdez daily prospector., 1915-03-08

The above message was received yesterday by the Prospector from its correspondent and when posted in the windows of the Big Place created a feeling of optimism among the. resi- dents of Valdez. The people of Val deg have adhered to their faith that the advantages of the Valdez route from tidewater to interior Alaska would not be overlooked by the en- gineering commission.
 During the past few weeks when rumor has been rife that other coast points had been favored as the ocean terminal by the commission the resi- dents of Valdez have not been down. cast but have assayed the rumors at

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 BADLY NEEDED
Resolution In Senate Asking Cover nor To Name Attorney To As
 sist In Preparing Bills.

JUNEAU, March 8-Senator Sulzer has introduced resolution in the Senate asking that Governor Strong appoint an attorney for the legisla- ture with a salary not to exceed $500 per month to act as advisor until the federal government provides an at torney general.
 The resolution has been introduced in anticipation of the failure of three bills now before the house providing for the appointment of an attorney general. Senator Sulzer has also in- troduced measure providing for com- pensation for Dr. P. Wilberforce for services last summer during the out break of smallpox among the natives at Hoonah. Dr. Wilberforce's services are valued at $500.
 Senator Sulzer has introduced a measure providing a bounty of $15.OO for timber wolves and $1.0O for hair seal. He asserts that the wolves are destroying the deer and other game in Southeastern Alaska and that the hair seal is very destructive of food fish.

any degree of authority as to the rec concentrations of the commission ex- cept in so far as the Alaska North ern was concerned.
 At no time have the residents of Valdez lost faith in the ultimate se- lection of the route from Valdez bay to interior Alaska. The natural ad- vantages are too we'll known and too decided to permit of being passed up by any commission of competent en- gineers without careful consideration. Army engineers, picked from the most capable body of engineers in the world, years ago decided that Valdez was the natural gateway to interior Alaska from the coast.

KING WILL FORM ANT|!WAR CABINET
PopuIace and Press of Greece Are De. manding That Country Enter
 War Against Turkey.

LONDON, March 8.-It is regard ed as almost certain that Greece will be forced into the war by the popu- lace of the country despite the ef- forts of King Constantine to preserve neutrality. The action of the cabi- net in resigning in a body is upheld by the press of Greece and it is pre- dicted that the king will experience difficulty in selecting an anti-war cab inet as the people are strongly in favor of war.
 Late dispatches from Athens ex. press the fear that a rebellion will follow the formation of a new cabi. net by King Constantine as the army par4y openly asesrt that the king is under Teutonic domination, and would side with Germany If permitted to do so.

 AT CARRANzA Believed Foreigners Will Be Permit ted To Send Relief Expedition

WASHINGTON, March 8.-The State Department has asked Provis- ional President Carranza for permis. sion to allow foreign nations to pro- vide help for the starving populace of Mexico City. Carranza has also been requested to make provision for the distribution of the food in order that it will not be seized by the army un- der General Obregon.
 Secretary Bryan expresses the belief that Carranza will grant the request as dispatches from Mexico City re. ports friction between Carranza and General Obregon. It is reported that General Obregon is angry at Carranza because the latter failed to sustain the special tax which Obregon levied on all residents of Mexico City.
 Carranza has also interferred with Obregon's plans for wringing the $500000 ransom from the Catholic church from the native Mexican priests now in prison. The belief is expressed that Obregon will break en- tirely with Carranza and will start an independent insurrection.

 The residents of Valdez are not sell fish in the matter. Naturally, they would welcome the selection of this town as the terminal of the trunk line but they realize that when the gov ernment railroad is built it will be mainly for the purpose of providing transportation for the great interior of Alaska and not to create a city on the coast Should Valdez fail to be the choice of the commission after the advantages of all the routes had been carefully considered the resi- dents of this town will enter no pro- test.

LONDON, March 8-The passengers of the French liner La Touraine have been landed in British port by one of the steamers which went to her assistance when the alarm was sound. ed Saturday that the vessel was on fire.
 The Rot -erdam, which was also en route from New York to Liverpool. was only few hours steaming from the La Touraine when the signal was received stating that the liner was burning. The Touraine's passengers were taken off by the Rotterdam and later transferred to another steamer, he Rotterdam remaining to act as convoy for the disabled liner. The fire in the hold of the ship damaged the hull and caused her to leak, but the pumps are reported as being able to control the flow of water.

 The interview of MT. Roland, in the New York Sun, in which he states that negotiations with the gov ernment for taking over the Alaska Northern railroad as part of the pro- posed government trunk line had been dropped, can be regarded as in no way an expression of the sen timents of President Wilson, Secre- tary Lane or the commission as to the selection of other routes.
