He returned to the Nome country last spring and was about to establish a store at the mouth of Taylor creek, in the Kouga, rok country.

ALetter to Alaskans

The following is a copy of a self-ex- 1 planatory letter which will be received by several hundredinfuential Alaskans including mem bers of the Legislature, Territorial officials and many others ! whose cooperation is being sought. KERN CREEK, MILE n, AKAsKA,
 December IS, 1915. My DEAR SIR:-
 Knowing your loyalty to our terri torial interests to ba beyond question, your judgment wise and uuselHsh, and your influence correspoudingIy helpful am writing you with a view to ascer- taining your individual opinion touch- i ing the admission of Alaska to state hood; and, so far as you have observed, the general sentiment of our fellow citizens in your section of the territory with reference to that issue. Also, of course, any opinion or suggestions you may care to advance in respect of the other matters and things touched upon in this letter will be highly valued.
 There appear to many good and suf- fcient reasons for believing that the time is at hand when the agitation for statehood should be intelligently and compreheusively begun and systemati- cally continued; the chief reason for which, it seems to me, is that To further delay the matter will correspondingly delay the acquisition of material, DO litical and social benefits which state hood would bring; and which it is idle to suppose or hope we will ever enjoy until statehood is attained.
 We all realize, of course, that a very considerable period of time will cer- taiuly elapse before we can secure the passage of an enabling act even after all are convinced and admit that we possess every necessary qualification for statehood.
 Then, yet more time must pass before we could expect to agree upon a pro- visional constitution acceptable tc congress.
 In other words, to become state al all we ourselves must take the initia- tive, and under the most favorable con, ditions statehood cannot be attained until long after we deserve it.
 
 Furthermore, if the agitation be not commenced. and maintained with viRor it is inevitible that a Development Board, Administrative Commission, or some similar coutrivance will be foist ed upon us, the adoption of which will most assuredly tighten tbe claws of bureaucratic government upun out people and thus postpone selt-goveru- ment indefinitely.
 Indeed it seems to me, tbis i9 the most pressing danger of the momenti
Douglas Island news., 1916-01-05

and expediency would suggest that we continue little longer to bear the ills we have, intolerable as they are, rather than fly to others we know not of.
 feel entirely confident that the Am ercan people our brothers, our kin dred, our friends, will not long delay us the rights of freemen; but, should we sit still now, and com placeutly sub init to some new, untried, experiment. al device being yoked upon us, you may be sure that the people of the Re public will require of us that we give it what it's sponsors will speciously designate fair trial.
 This would mean simply continu- ance for an indefinite number of years under a new name and form, but in the main under the same men-of the administrative ine6iciency, industrial stagnation and political dependency from which we now suffer and have suffered until our hearts are sick. The odor of a skunk is not improved by changing it's name, and we may be sure no governmental makeshift will mater ially improve our interests until the agents who gouern us are auswerable directly to US. For my part 1 refuse to be deceived into accepting aoy other solution of our prablem.
 Now to give effective impetus to statehood agitation it has occurred to me that a convention of representative citizens favorable to the idea could be arranged and permanent organization be effected under some such name as Alaska Statehood League, or other designation indicative of it's object and purpose, and provision be made for recurring the co operation of all Alas kans in sympathy herewith.
 If you favor this idea, please indicate your preference as to time and place, and if your name may be signed to call for such convention. When I shall have received your answer aud the answers of substantial number of the other influential citizens through out the territory to whom am sending similar letter, l shall mail you a detailed summary of the responses and also a copy of a thesis in behalf of statehood which l am preparing, and which, in addition to its main purpose, will attempt in a modest way to antici- pate aud answer such adverse argu- ments as may be presented.
 Thanking you now for such consid- eration as you may give this communi- cation, remain, with assurances of the highest esteem, sincerely yours,
 THOMAS B. DRAYT0N.
