which you are interested and the changes and reforms which you de- sire instituted are for the most part taken care or by the administration and yb the Cabinet officers who are here for the purpose of making the necessary investigation; but it may be that there are some fundamental changes in which you will be inter- ested which will require legisla- tion by Congress. I presume, though I do not know, that when the Presi- dent invited me to join him on this trip he had an idea that 1t might be we'll that someone from the leg islative branch of the government should also come here in order to obtain first-hand impressions. At any rate am very glad to be here and have already enjoyed immense ly the few days we have spent in Alaska. have been particularly interested to watch the people. I heard all kinds of stories as l came northward For instance, I heard that men here bought their land from the Indians for bottle of whiskey and that since the Volstead law good many of them were trying to swap back on the same original theme.

 certainly l have seen no evidence ot its truth. l have, however, been struck by the energy, enterprise, fn- tellgence and attractiveness of the people. I have admired the healthy looking children. the handsome girls, and the vigorous and enterprising ap-
 bearing men. So I assure you shall go back with a more favorable impression of your magnificent re- zion, not only of it's tremendous ex- panses, but also of the hopefulness of it's people. Of course all you will want in legislation is merely that which will be just, and can prom. ise you for myself that I will not> only be in favor of what is just, but l will favor justice tempered with partiality and good will''

It is fine thing to see the children coming on because if you should fail to make an empire of Alaska I know they will sue ceed, and I am happy to say I be- lieve the Government is going to be more helpful to them than it has been to you.
 Pleased With Greeting
 "For you sake 1 am sorry it is raining. but for our sake I am rather glad. We have heard about rainy Alaska, but this is the first time rain has fallen while we have been within your borders. and I rather think it accentuates the sincerity of your welcome to have you come out in a rain such as this to extend to us your cordial and smiling greet ing.s The reception you have ac- corded us has made us all very happy.
 "I did not Qsme here to make you speech. have come to Alaska to learn and not to talk; but I do want you to know how rejoiced we are to be here and how compensated we feel for the long journey we have undertaken. NPersaps I shall noi speak toyou of Juneau again, and therefore, I desire at this time to assure you that as President I wish you the best of good fortune and the most happiness that can come to any people in all the world"
 Seeks Practical Course
 A practical course of administra- tion is sought by the Department of the Interior rather than a theor- etical one, declared Secretary Work, who spoke briefly following the Pres ident. He said:
 'It would not become me, per haps, to refer to this weather as being favorable to any religious sect. would not do that now certainly: but immediately after we landed at the wharf I said to some of my friends, This must be Presbyter. ian country. for. we believe in pab- tism by sprinkling' 0aughter)f
 Some of you may know that the Department of the Interior is my particular responsibility. and it is true. believe, that the Department of the Interior has moNs activities in Alaska than any other depart ment of the Government.
