n'ONGRESSMEN BACK FROM HURRIED TR!P
 T0 INTERIOR
BUT FEW HOURS SPENT AT ANY ONE POINT-ALASKANS ARE
 DISAPPOINTEO

The Congressional special which was scheduled to return from the h. terior, arrived last night about 700 o'clock, and hurrying aboard the trans port left about an hour later for the south. It is reported that the towns along the Alaska railroad in the Inte- rior were greatly disappointed at the speedy return of the delegation, as elaborate preparations had been made at both Anchorage and Fairbanks for their reception.
 The party remained at Seward long, CT than at any one point, and were here not to exceed four hours. It is said they were delighted with the scenery along the Alaska railroad and also the accommoda tions but were so pressed for time they had little op- portunity to hear the needs of the country
 At Fairbanks the party remained during the afternoon, leaving at II D. m. for Nenana, where an hour and half was spent. From Nenana the party left for Anchorage, securing a wonderful view of Mount Mckinley on the way. Two hours were spent at Anchorage and the party came thru to Seward.
 Seward was canny and sent a dele gation composed of Mayor L. V. Ray and w. H. Whittlesey, president of the chamber of commerce, with them to the Interior, and in this way some good propaganda for Seward was spread
 It was unfortunate, however, that the party coming so far to view con- ditions first hand, could not stay longer.
 The Gateway will have an account of the trip, written by one of the members, in Mondays Gateway.

GRAPHING PROCESS GIVES
 PERFUME oDoRLESS PLANTS

PARIS, June 9.-Professor Daniel Of Rennes appears to have discovered a process which will cause to come true Shakespeare's verse, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
 By taking two plants of the same species and grating one on the other, notably wormwood on chrysanthe- mum, he found it acquired the smell and it's flowers gave eff perfume even more powerful than the chrys- anthemum.
 Perfumed flowers were grafted on to plants that had no scent at all and the result of tne grating has been that the product smelled like the ori- ginal flower.
