H
 President HardingsAanay not deliy- CT an address in Seattle on Friday relative to Alaskank policies. Ac- cording to William Il. Curry, Wash ington, D. C. correspondent for the Seattle ines, newspapermen with the President in Alaska. believe that this is possible. The dispatch in the Times. from Curry under Wash ington date line of July Is says;
 Special dispatches to Eastern newspapers by correspondents with President Harding now plans to make his big Alaska speech in New York, August 2S. tie evening after he lands from PoAo Rico at the conclusion of his trip
 If thisa be true it means that while President Harding will make an Al askan speech in Seattle on July 27 from the North, it will not be the kind of speech he had ill mind when he left Washington on June 20. At that time he believed he would get hold of all angles of the Alaskan situation in such a way as an announcement of definite Al askan policy.
 Washington now believes, if the .ews from the North Is authentic, flat the President has found it will ae a physical and mental impossi- bility for him to sort out, arrange. classify and digest the great mass of information that has poured upon him during his stay in Alaska much of which is tinged with bitter parti- sanship and local dissensions. during the time il takes the navy transport Henderson to make the run down to Seattle.
 If the correspondefits are correctly the President is desirous of giving the subject great deal more study than will be permissible on the voyage out" He therefore Tn Seattle will. 1t is said. speak in general rather than specific terms and touch lightly if at all upon ap- and legislative mat ters. He sails from San Diego for the East Coast on August ,. and with the exception of short stop in the Panama Canal Zone and a day and a night in Porto i Rico, will have until August 27 or 28 to check over the things he | has seen and heard in the great l northern Territory and to arrange l his own ideas

YUKON MAY
 GET LIQUOR
Whiskey May Cross Alaska as Medicine-New Loop
 hole Is Discovered.

VICTORIA. B. C., July 25.- Liquor board officials have dscov- cred an apparent loophole in United may make it possible for Yukon Territory to secure the liquor it has ben waiting for since it's stocks ran out moro than year ago. The dis covefy may also lead to the creation of an enormous business in liquor with the United States on legal basis
 Statements made 10 the liquor board by wealthy operators of Chi nose distilleries gave the clue. and this will be followed up when the board seeks information from the United States consular service.
 Enter for Medicinal Purposes.
 According to the Chinese distill- CTS, vast quantities of Chinese liquor are shipped into the United States for medicinal purposes.
 Whether or not this practice con- stitutes fringment of the United States dry laws and creates the pre- oedent for shipping Scotch and other
  liquor from British Columbia across the border for medicinal purposes" does not concern the liquor board so much as does the possi bility of being able to ship liquor across the Alas kan strip of land into the Canadian Yukon.
 Previous Exports Have Failed.
 Although without prohibition laws and nominaIly wet, the Yukon has not been able to replenish liquor stocks for many months owing to the fact that all shipments must pass through dry Alaskan territory to get there. Repeated efforts have been made to get the liquor through to the Yukon in a legal way, but so far they have been without success Meanwhile $100.000 worth of liquor is in Vancouver warehouses await ing the lifting of the bars into the Yukon.
