manufacturers. Such guarantee would not be unfair to the Govern ment nor more than is justly due those investing money in Alaskan enterprises.
 NIT. Uderwood's conclusion is grave enough to be given serious consider ation. Summarized, it is to the eff. feet that if the Harding administra- tion, even through its bureaus, pur- sues the policy already initiated of granting leases on oil lands, or coal lands, or timber or other natural resources in the Territory to legiti- mate investors and those investors make reasonable profits, everything being considered. an attack is sure to be made on the administration by the so-called conservationists who have money and know the pub licity game" If such a state of af- fairs is to develop, no matter what the outcome of it may be for the Harding administration, it is bound to injure the Territory. Money is shy about entering a field in which it cannot be reasonably protected, and people with capital will be slow about investing it in Alaskan enter prises if there is any reason to con clude that the near future will wit ness a repetition of the undertaking days of a decade ago.
 IL is to be devoutly hoped that MT. Underwood is allowing resentment or disappointment over the opposi-
 ton which has developed against the Curry bill to overshadow ma ture judgment and influence him in
 to arriving at an exaggerated eSti- mate of the real situation. Alaskan can do nicely without recurrence of the Ballingcr-Pinchot row. Empire

Tn 1865 he closed out his livery business and bought the biggest hO- tel in the city, the Western, at See ond and Morrison streets, the north west corner. He purchased it from Muck-a-Muck Smith. whose Eeirs still own the lots. He ran the husi- ness for a year and sold back to lIuck-a-Muck. This hotel was later and for many years called the Occi- dental.
 l.. P. W. then took the Lincoln ho- tel, at the corner of First and Wash ington streets. a very fine house for those Gays and large for the town having I75 rooms. He ran that estab- lishment for 12 years and with sue cess.

 I will now go back to 1865 and tell of the marriage between l.. ?. ". and Amelia West, daughter of Col. West, who established the Wells Far go business between San Francisco and Portland. The wedding cere- mony was performed by q Baptist clergyman, Rev. MT. Atkins, at the West home, on Morrison street, be- tween Fourth and Fifth.
 Six children were the result of this union, three boys and three girls, two of whom are dead. The living are Daisy (3Irs. l.. Q. Swetland Lot tie N. (AIrs.

Quimby died in this city in 1912. There are but two grandchil- dren living.
 In the fall of 1878 L. P. ". went into eastern Oregon and established a ranch for breeding fine horses. He purchased so acres in Grant county, now Wheeler county, the so now be ing the site of Fossil, county seat Of Wheeler county. Here he had about 175 head of grade PercherOf mares and several stalliOns. He never was scrub" horseman. He has always had as great love for a good horse as any Kentuckian that ever lived.
 In 1882 L. P. W. got back into the hotel business, Dr. Wilson erecting for him q hotel that soon became famous, the Quimby house. occupy ing the block bounded by Fourth, Fifth, Couch and Davis streets. This hotel had the first passenger elevator installed in Oregon and was q cara vansary of which Portlanders were proud. It had 175 guest rooms.

BONE Is CONFIRMED

the appointment Of Scott C. Bone, as Governor of Alaska took the action that had been expected by AlaskanS for several days. No one in the Ter r.tory had expected any fight to be made on his appointment in the Sem ate for the main reason that there exists ro basis for opposition unless possibly the fact that he is not q resident of Alaska might be consid- cred as such. At least that has been the view of Alaskans generally who first of all desired an Alaskan for their Chief Executive, but. who fail ing in that. accepted the nomiua- ton of Mir. Bone with good grace if not with open enthusiasm.
 The attitude of Alaskans sojourn- ing in Washington has been for the most part that of their fellow citi- zeus remaining in the Territory. There k apparently one exception to ,h.s view in Washington if Jack Un- dcvwood has been reliably informed. AC,oT Nr Bones name had been S"u; 10 in" Senate. Mir. Underwood in an article m the Seattle Times said that the appointment had re- suited in harmonizing Alaskans at the capital. On the day following Nr. Bones nomination. Mir. Haze ie- called at the Whitel House and thanked the President for his many ruurtcsieS and assured him that he would work whole-heartedly in sup port of the Presidents nominee. Col. W. T. Perkins. said Mir. Underwood. accompanied by an Alaskan news pun"rmau" who had supported him 10. the GOyernorship took similar action.
 There was sO,sa c.iort tn create opposition to AIr. Bone by an elem eUt hacking another unsuccessful candidate" according to the Seattle correspondent. who said;
 An element that was backing
 another unsuccessful candidate
 for ',:n place. and which is be-
 lievcd to be supported by the
 Canadian Pacific Steamship Con-
 p1ny. does not find Mir. Bone as
 satisfactory as tfey could desire.
 and already the word is being
 whispered into the ears ul prom
 iHeut senators that NJ. Bone IS
 the agent of alleged sinister in
 tcrcst5 which have their head
 quarters ia Seattle and are )lan-
 ming to loot Alaska. ThesI libel
 louS whisperings presase m ef-
 fort to defeat Mr. Bones confirm
 ation by the Senate. but it ;s not
 likely to get very far at IL res
 ident's nominee is pe:saralIy
 known 10 nearly every nmbcr
 of that body.
 If such an etur' ,o made. it was hopelessly Iu..l,. As a rumor it would go unnoticed and made IS a charge it would be so redirulous as to make it's sponsors the laughing stock of those to whom it was llade.
 Mr. Bone is the personal choice of President Harding and as such will have the ear of the Administra- ton. With his wide and varied eX- perience gained in many years of newspaper work, he should be able to grasp the problems of the Terri tory without much delay. In f.s eff forts to solve them he will have the aid and cooperation of all Alaskans who desire most of all to accomplish. the development of the Territory Empire.

nerves and he hiked to Frisco.
 "Water Works" Purchased.

Then he went into the water busi- ness bought water route" and the water works" the latter consisting of decrepit horse, rickety wagon and leaky hogshead. The water to serve his customers he had to buy from the jobbers and wholesalers of that commodity, and he disposed of 1t at retail, charging a small family $1.50 a month and some of the big gest customers, like saloons, as much as $25 a month. As he paid at the wells, on Market and Jackson streets $25 week for his supply, it can be seen that he was more or less q prof iteer!
 The big mission school building was about to be erected and he took the contract to furnish the bricklay- CTS and plasterers. the water needed for their workH He discovered not far away a slough that had plenty of "second-class water' and he put in a pump and little piping and pumped by hand, the days's supply before breakfast, often making S25 just as mornin's exercise, Talk about Yankee thrift and ingenuity
 He remained "on the water wagon for something like year and quit with bank roll, or rather a sack of nuggets, amounting to $2,000. Then he bought livery stable on SansOme street. near the old pOstoili2e. and continued to prosper. lie branch ed out into the restaurant business. pur- chasing an eating house on Market street, at the intersection of Mont gomery street, for which he plankcd down gold to the amount of $2,5O0 and sold the livery stable plant for the same as he paid $2,OC9 He prob ably would never have left Califor, nia had he been able to get title to real estate. but the old Spanish grants were filling the courts wiJl litigation and it was almost !mpossi' ble to get d good title to lot in Sln Francisco.

grants were nllllnS the courts WILL! litigation and it was almost !mpossi- ble to get q good title to a lot in San Francisco.
 Next Move NOrthward.
 So he decided to go up to Oregon. to Portland. and sold out most of his holdings. save about 1000 barrels of flour which he had stored in q ware house on speculation. He had to wait six weeks to get 9 boat and early in February took passage on the Broth CT Jonathan, with about 1000 other passengers. Almost every resident of Oregon and California will recall that ill-fated vessel, which afterwards went down near Crescent City, on her run from San Francisco, Portland bound. with a loss of 200 lives. That was in July 1865. It was the most sanguinary happening on the Pacific coast until 10 years later. when the steamer Pacific was wrecked.
 On the trip to Portland. when L,P. w. came on the Brother Jonathan, the passage was not gentle one. Coming in over the bar at the mouth of the Columbia the passengers were all kept below the deck and the cap tain was lashed to the rigging. It was bitterly cold and the bay inside the bar was covered with drifting ice. After reaching Astoria and com ing up the Columbia the crew ire quently had to go overheard and cut away the ice around the vessel.
 On February % the vessel reached Portland. That was in 1862 and L.P. W. began his long residence in this city. Most of the passengers arriv- ing with him were bound for the Ida ho mines and he concluded 10 make a trip there. So he bought a pack train and took q "cargo' of provis ions for the Boise basin.. Among his merchandise he had q case of pickles The miners were afflicted with scur- " and is such demand were his cu- cumber pickles that they went like the proverbial hot cakes" at low price of one ounce gold per small bottle! He sold out shortly, very shortly, then sold his pack train and came back to Portland, with quite a snug fortune in his jeans, aside from the $5000 worth of flour stor- ed in San Francisco.
 Business Started Here.
 His first business venture in Port land was the purchase of an interest in w. II. Bennett's livery stable, at the northwest corner of Fourth and Morrison streets. Bennett was the first United States marshal in Ore gon. He did a general livery. truck ing. forwarding and storage busi- ness. He had hauled several loads of provisions from Portland to Salem on the ice on the Willamette river. l.. P. W. paid $7OOO for half of the business and took the management. One of his first moves was to install the first platform street scales in Oregon, which came from the Fair banks establishment at St. Johns- bury, Vt, near L. P. W.'s old home.
 Soon Bennett sold his interest in the business to John White and the new firm of Quimby & White bought the livery business of Sherlock & Ba- con, who owned the block where the Chamber of Commerce. building now stands-that is on its south half.
