Senator Harding was one of my
earliest candidates for the nomina-

Clyde Coombs of Cordova is on hunt for some department of the Government which can lease one of the many small unnamed islands in the Pacific belonging to Alaska. The island he wants is about 80 miles from Kodiak.
 He communicated with Washing ton, D. C., says a recent number of the Juneau Empire, and was told to see the land office at Juneau. He visited the land office at Juneau, as we'll as the forest office and other offices of representatives of the Gov ernment, but it could not be deter mined definitely whether the island he wanted to lease was under the jurisdiction of the forest depart ment, the fisheries department, or some other department, and he was finally advised to go to Seattle and consult with the head of the United States fisheries department located there.
 He wants to lease the island for fox raising, and he wants assurance that after it is leased some other person will not be given a permit te occupy it after he has spent small fortune there on improvements.
 Coombs told about another resi- dent to the westward who leased al island for fox raising, and later tht forestry department gave some othe person permission to use the timber Since the timber was essential t. the industry of fox raising, the fo: farmer, who thought he was in un disputed possession of the island b. virtue of his contract, upon learning of his mistake has been "talkin in his sleep" about the multiplicit of interlocking government bureau and their methods of doing bushes in Alaska. :.~.
