THE WORK OF COLONEL sTEEsE

While discussing Alaskas assets, let's not forget Col Steese. By spend ing four months in Washington. he succeeded i'll getting a proposed ap- propriation of S500,000 for Alaska roads increased to $900,O00 and he got $500,000 appropriated for WrangeI Narrows. This was at the rate of $225, ,000 a month-and it does not take into account $40, 1000 for the Nome har- Dor and other smaller items.
 It would be difficult to measure the obligations Alaska is under to this in- defitigable official. Col. Steese has all but worked miracles ill the way he has impressed Congress with a sense of the Nations duty to contribute to Alaskan development He has gotten larger appropriations for the Terri tory than ever were made before, not Withstanding the determination of the President and leaders ill Congress to AC1ICGloC l1AS GONCIHIl6Ill 6ApCuStS that tax reductions might follow.
 Of course the Government has not done more than it's duty to Alaska The Nation is the largest property owner in the Territory. Federal policies have prevented the appropriation and development of natural resources by private individuals. The Government has thereby closed the door to poten- tial territorial income from taxes, ac- quiring a normal obligation to make liberal contributions to aid develop ment
 However, We have not always been successful in bringing appreciation of this obligation home to Congress and the Departments. Col Steese has done so. The results from his work speak for themselves. They oblige the Territory to him to an almost in- calculable extent. He is a very val uable and useful citizen-Juneau Elm pire.

ed over to the Chinese government The situation was relieved by the intervention of Jacob G. Schurman, American minister to China, with the result that the revolutionary leader withdrew his threat.
 An effort then was made by Dr. Sun to bring about conference of all the warning factions. He sug- gested that America initiate the move as the United States, he said, was the only power the Chinese people regarded without suspicion.
 Dr. Suns health began to fail dur ing 1924 and on several occasions his death was reported. In Novem- Der Peking was captured by revolu- tionary forces under General Feng and when the defeated General Wu abandoned his plan to recapture the city Tsao Kun resigned the presi- dency A de facto government was formed with Yuan Chi-Jui as chief of executive power. Fighting had ceas- ed and a general conference was called at Peking of the various politi- cal leaders.
 Did Not Want Power Dr. Sun, invited to this conference issued a pamphlet upon his arrival in Peking, declaring that he did not want political power and calling up- on the people ito save the country" :" He likened the Chinese people to the status of colonists in foreign countries. Thirteen years ago." he said in his pamphlet, "I turned the Manchus out and gave freedom to the people, but the Manchus had sold that freedom to the powers by the enact ment of unequal treaties.'" In dealing with the career of Sun Vat Sen, it is essential to note that practically all of his best work in the overthrow of the Manchu Emper- ors and the various revolutions which followed was done when he was thou sands of miles from the. shores of China

 There are few parts of the world

to which he was a stranger. Wher- ever there were Chinese he had been, always with the same mission, the same appeal-a Chinese Repub- lie. 4 small, quiet, stoop-shoulderH ed man, with a thin grayish mus tache pointing upward at the ends, Dr. Sun moved about the world hold ing his life in his hands every mo- ment of the day and night, for it would have been worth $200,000 to any one who could plant a knife be- tween his shoulders. This reward, offered originally by the Manchu government, was standing for nearly twenty years. While in New York during 1911, Dr. Sun was dining in prominent club with number of in ternational bankers. They were in- clined to minimize the accounts of his constant danger whereupon Sun asked that they accompany him to one of the upper rooms, fronting on Fifth avenue. There, standing in the dark, they were able to look out upon the street and distinguish three evil-looking Chinese skulking in the shadows. When Sun left they disap- peared.
 Perhaps his narrowist sescape was in Canton in 1895. One of his plots to assassinate the Manchu officials and seize the city was betrayed and roundup of the leaders was set in motion. Dr. Sun fled with band of hostile soldiers at his heels. Sud- denly a door opened and he was drawn inside. The door closed as

A friendly servant in the house of a prominent Mandarin had made the rescue Three days later the fugitive watch ed from a window of that some house as 15 of his followers were put to death with all the refinement of torture in which the Chinese ex- cell.
 Another time, while in London, h. was kidnapped and held prisoner in the Chinese Embassy. While awaiting special steamer which was to take him to Peking and death by the axe, he managed to get word to his friends on the outside. High officials of the British government obL4ined It's release.
 He has made his way thrCugh China in every known form of dis guise, and by every conceivable me thod of transportation. As coolie laborer, a Mandarin, a fisherman, Q, jinrikisha runner, a soldier, a sailor and a student, he has fitted about the great Chinese nation, always hunted and bounded, even when he occupied the high office of Pres ident.
 Dr. Sun, although few of his as sociates knew it, was a Christian He was born in Honolulu in 1862 and received his medical education in Hong Kong College. He was married quite early in life and was and a daughter.
