PRESIDENT WIRES GOVERNOR
 OF PLANS FOR ALASKA TRIP

The News has been advised by Governor Scott c. Bone, of the re ceipt yesterday of the following telegram from President Harding:
 The White House.
 Washington, D. c My dear Governor Bone :-
 You can be sure that the disap- pointment of Mrs. Harding and my self over our inability to come to Alaska this summer is vastly great CT than the disappointment of any of the Alaskan citizenship. We had been counting upon 1t for more than a year, believing it would afford us great individual pleasure and satis- faction, on the one hand, and en- able me, on the other, to get an official understanding of the re- sources and conditions and the needs of the Territory that could not be so fully impressed by any other pro cess than that of a personal visit.
 need not tell you that it is only an expectation deferred. If all goes we'll there will not likely be any extraordinary session of the Con- gress next summer and I can we'll believe it will be convenient to get away for the trip in June. Though it is a long way off ,e VII be mak- ing our plans to that end.
 am very glad to have your re- port of very favorable conditions in many sections of Alaska. I regret, with you, the depression which is felt in certain spots. am sure that sentiment in Congress Is friend iy to that development in Alaska which will best promote it's pros perity and reveal the Territory as a great asset to the United States. have already assured you of my desire in that direction.
 With very best regards, I am
 Very truly yours
 ~": WARREN c. HARDING
