ALASKAN WANTS TO
 DRIVE DOG TEAM TO
 PORTLAND FROM NORTH

That Portlanders may become ia miliar with the trade possibilities of Alaska, J. J. OLeary, of Gold Run, in that territory, agrees in a letter re- ceived from him by the Chamber of Commerce this morning to make a run down here by dog team with letters from judges and other officials of Alaska, telling all about the great northland, says the Portland Daily Telegram. Mir. O'Leary asks the Chamber to bear the expense of his expedition. If his plan should be ac- cepted the Alaskan is to cover good part of the distance by dog team and the balance of the way by steamer ana train. He states that a native will accompany him. The writer says that a steamer line from Portland to Alas ka would prove a most welcome ar rangement to the northeners. On the way to Portland he says he also will stop enroute and stake out mining claims in Alaska. The mining indus try up that way, he states, is in a flouriShing condition.

in every county of the state. From q
few counties only the majority OF the

gives Harding a lead over Porter OF
