THIRD DIVISION NOT STAMpED|NC FOR SUTHERLAND
 i 1Exs
Constructive Criticism Lack ing in Anchorage Speech
 Offers Nothing New. SENTIMENT FOR CRlGSBY Anchorage's Prospe nty Due To Encouragement Given
 By Administration.
Special to The Daily Empire)

(Srecial to The Daily Empire)
 ANCHORAGE. Alaska, Sept. IT, If Dan Sutherland has nothing better to deliver than what was contained in his Anchorage speech. there is little likelihood that the Third Div ison will stampede to his standard It is the opinion of even his most ardent supporters, and personal ac- quaintances, that aside from the di- version offered in his entertaining speech, he fell far short of expecta, tions. Anchorage had expected things with which MT Sutherland is supposed to be familiar and with which he will be called upon to deal would be discussed. Aside from dwelling at length upon Lincoln s rhetorical bestowals embracing hu man rights, he secuted even the Re publican platform.
 MT. Sutherland covered the field rsually within the purview of terri torial legislation. and even in this regard was unable to deliver one syllable of construrtive criticism. satisfying himself by reading ex- cerpts from a far Eastern news paper accrediting Gov. Riggs with alarmist statements to the effect that Alaska was on the point of being conquered by the Bolsheviki.
 No Stampede Likely
 Whether or not his supporters in Anchorage had given him counsel to scout national issues as affecting Alaska, is not known, but it is known that it would take a very clever politician to nullify the effect of the recent visit and utterances of Gov ernor Riggs, Secretary Payne and Secretary Daniels. Anchorage has not forgotten and is just now feel ing the effects of the visit in re- newed confidence in the present and future. And the district is not likely to stampede from realities to prom ises
 Steps are under way for the or ganization of an active flying squad ron with a view to catching up the flag ends allowed to drag through a spirit of self assurance. Hence the Sutherland visit was beneficial in more ways than one. ~
 The effect of the visit of Gov Riggs and Secretaries Payne and Daniels has been magical. It is reflected in almost every line of business endeavor and the confidence engendered thereby has resulted in home Identification, and spirit of permanency has supplanted the air of transiency so pronounced a few months ago. Money has been freer and new enterprises are springing up, while mining activity is greater than in many years past.
 Administration Trusted
 And following in the wake of this renewed confidence is the deep con sciousness that it is an earnest effort of the administration to meet and solve the many problems of the Ter ritory that has brought this stability.
 Among the latest new enterprises is prospecting with the drill for cil almost within the city limits. A small rig is being set up and It is planned to secure sufficient depth to get a log of the formation beneath the glacial silt and gravel.
