Disappointing But Not Surprising.

(Nenana
The announcement that Secretary Of the Interior
Fall has decided not visit Alaska this year will
come disappointment to Alaskans generally, but
it will not surprise anybody. We have heard new
secretaries and Presidents talk enthusiastically
before about visiting Alaska but of them really
get here, the nearest approach to visit by cabinet
members being the flying trip made by Secretaries
Daniels and Payne year They touched at
Fseveral Alaskan towns and made hurried trip over a
small portion of the Government Railroad; but they
did not Alaska and they not in office long
enough after returning the national capital to do
the Territory any good.
Alaska should be visited by both Secretary Fall
and President Harding, and possible, in
order that they may gather frst-hand information
regarding the needs of the Territory; but it
haps well for the Interior that they COM

the Daniels-Payne visit from it should
be possible to make the trip to Nenana the Gov
ernment railroad. which will enable Washington Off

time. including that part of the Northland which
really needs seeing.
So, after all, should welcome the announce
ment that the secretary has postponed his trip for
this year. But we must not neglect to let him know
that we expect him to come all the way next year.
