SECRETARY LANE.

inc TetlremenL or Secfetary O1 the Interior Franklin K. Lane from the cabinet of President Wilson will remove from a position of helpful influence man who has shown himself to be sincerely interested in Alaskan development and con- stantly on the alert for opportuni- ties to assist in Northern progress He was first among the Presidents advisers to call attention to the superf1uity of red tape in all mat ters pertaining to the administra- tion of Alaskan affairs, and during the time that he has been at the head of the interior department he has given the question much pub licity in his efforts to eliminate hurtful restrictions and straighten out the tangle of bureau control at Washington. He has accomplished much, and would have continued to be held to Alaska had he remained longer member of the Presidents official family.
 Secretary Lane knew something of Alaska before his appointment And he made it his business to learn a great deal more as soon as he assumed charge of the interior department At the very outset he realized the vast importance of the Territory as land rich in natural resources; and likewise. he was quick to perceive the obstacles in the way of territorial development and as quick to recommend re- forms, for which hs has campaigned persistently throughout the seven years he has served as secretary.
 One of the first recommendation made by Secretary Lane. in report submitted to the President seven years ago, was that the Government undertake the building of railroad from tidewater to the navigable riv- CTS of Interior Alaska; and he has been in charge of that work since its start. It was believed by the secretary that such an enterprise would expedite development in Al aska, and he is of the opinion still that the railroad is development project fully justified by the prom ise of increased population, the set clement of farming lands. and the development of mineral resources on a scale hitherto impossible.
 The regret is that Secretary Lane will not now be able to carry on to completion the work which he has started in Alaska-the danger that someone less interested in the future of Alaska will be selected to succeed him, with a consequent loss of influence at Washington and d slowing down of helpful govern mental activity in the Territory.
 Perhaps we will find a friend in Secretary Lanes successor, but however friendly he may be, there is much that new secretary, who- ever he may be, must learn about the Territory before he can make requests for Alaskan aids in the intelligent manner in which similar requests have been presented by Secretary Lane.
 Under the circumstances, Alaska IS very fortunate in having MT. Mo- Pherson in Washington as special representative of the Alaskan Engi- neering commission and spokesman for the influential Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.

Cooper Proctor, millionaire soap manu-
facturer and admitted contributor of
$500,N00 to Gen. Leonard Woods presi
Dental nomination campaign, here today

Butler for the latter's alleged statement
that Woods campaign was backed by
financial gamblers"
THAT statement is maliciously false, -
said Proctor.
mo contributions were made to Gen.
Woods campaign besides those l men
toned in my testimony before the United
States senate Investigation committee.
"Dr. Butler is trying to square the old
guard for what they did to Wood.

he said that the candidate would be nom

DEPT. OF STATE
Last of That Branch Who
Acted During War.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-With the re-
tirement Of Frank Lyon Polk as under
secretary Of state today. the state depart
ment was stripped Of all the high Of
ficiaIs who conducted American diplo-
macy throughout the war.

ing, who was q member 0f tAe original
American peace commission. Pe3k has had
the greatest experience in negotiating for
settlement the various intricate aud tan
gled problems incident to the conclusion
of the war OF any officials OF the state de-
partment during the war period.
Polk was succeeded today by Norman
Fl. Davis. until recently assistant secre-
tGry Of the treasury in charge Of foreign
loans.
Besides Lansing and Polk. other war
time officials who have left the state de-
partment are william Phillips, as as
slstant secretary OF state. and Breckin-
ridge Long, as third assistant secretary
OF state.
Phillips some time ago was appointed
minister to the Netherlands, and Long
has Just resigned TO push his campaign
for United States senator from Missouri.
Three American diplomats here on
leave are regarded as possible successors
to these posts.
These ENJOYS are Hugh s. Gibson. min
lister 10 Poland; Roland s. Morris am
bsssador to Japan, and Ira Nelson
Morris, minister TO Sweden
Although Gibson IS known to be de-
sirous OF returning to Warsaw,
he may be chosen to fiji the vacancy
of assistant secretary of state because Of
his knowledge OF western European ar
fairs over which Phillips had turisdlc-
ton.
Longs special work was on far eastern
questions and Ambassador Morris is re-
garded as qualified to take up these
duties.
