in itself shows that there is some thing wrong about the administration of Alaska.
 Mature made Alaska a great store house of wealth, but according to the conservation theory we must not tap that storehouse. We can only talk about it and write about it and felici- tate ourselves on what a great heri- tage it will be to hand down to re- mote generations. With veins of coal 40 feet thick in Alaska we are i'm porting coal from Wales Not only has the development of Alaska s coal resources been blighted by the conservation policy, but the same thing holds true with reference to water power and other resources which Alaska possesses in the most remarkable degree.

TIMES TO BE ENLARGED

Daily Times will be enlarged to a ten-page paper, and will for the pres ent be issued in that form, with an occasional twelve page edition on Saturday. This course has been decided upon in order to accommo- date increased advertising and also to provide for a number of new fea- lures that are shortly to be added that will make the Daily Times one of the most metropolitan papers pub lished outside of the larger cities in the states.

HELPING ALASKA

President Harding on the senate com President Harding on the senate com. mittee on territories, is warm ad vocate of opening the resources of the north by congressional aid. He con, ferred with President Harding a short time ago on Alaska.
 The president believes that the surface of Alaskas natural resources has hardly been scratched He is op- posed to the. exploitation of Alaska s resources for the benefit of special in terests, but he is ardently in favor of the development of those resources for the benefit of all the people. That as to be the keynote of his Alaskan policy.
 He regards as significant the fact that Alaska's population actually de- creased. during the last decade, not withstanding the population of the United States proper showed a large increase and it was an era of pros- perity everywhere excSbt in Alaska.
 From the presidents viewpoint what Alaska needs is to be unlocked. Whatever may be done. conservative ly and with proper safeguards by administrative action to unlock the territory and maks it's resources avail able for human needs will be done If administrative action will not suf- flee he will recommend to congress whatever legislation may be required. It is significant that he is coming to Alaska to get information by personal observation in regard to conditions
 In carrying out this policy of un, locking Alaska, President Harding will have the ardent support of the junior senator from his own state Frank B. Willis, whose appointment on the committee of territories paved the way for his active participation in the development of Alaska
 Senator Willis also is planning to come to Alaska this year to make a close study at close range with a view to the sponsorship of whatever legislative measure may be needed to attract people to Alaska and make its resources available for use ot mankind. According to Mr. Willis views what ails Alaska is the policy of extreme conservation that has held its natural wealth inaccessible from the public.
 Alaska is not dead" said Senator Willis, "but it is dying and it will continue in that state just as long as 1t remains in the grip of the ultra conservationists. The census statis tics reveal that it's population de creased during the last decade, which

The fight over appointment of an Alaskan governor is having a discour- aging effect upon the people of Alas ka, who had been led to believe that the territory would receive i'm mediate attention from the present administration. Therefore the delay in appointing new officials so that the federal administration can get into stride in the territory leaves it's af- fairs under control of democratic of ficials who are not in sympathy with the present administrations Dispatch.

have heard and investigated, despite
her oft reiterated declaration that
she never heard anything after she
once went TO sleep.

looking down into its depths. 1 fol-

"Of course, child" he answered,
coming back TO himself with an evil

minutes we worked hurriedly, but
methodically, transferring the bund-
les that filled the top Of the big
trunk to a temporary resting place
upon the bed.
When the last layer had been re-

big sheet OF brown wrapping paper
which had separated my own things

silent. Then with a swift movement
