AVAILABLE FOR
ALASKAN NEEDS
Gov. Bone Predicts Money
Soon to BeeAccessible for
Alaskan Development.

Capital for investment in Alaska,
so necessary for the development of
its resources, will shortly became
more readily obtainable than for a
great many years, according to Gov
Scott c. Bone, who returned yester
day from an extended absence in
the States. Business and industrial
conditions are, more promising than
/ can remember for many, many

experience an era of prosperity of
pronounced magnitude" he said.
The result of these conditions in
the States will be reflection in an
abundance of capital for investment.
Money will be looking for chances t.
earn good returns which. he said,
will be found beneficial to Alaska as
it will lead to investments being,
made in the Territory which would
hardly have been possible under less
favorable conditions.
Little Legislation
Except as the Territory is interest
ed in the various departmental ap.
preparation bills, there will be little
legislation passed by Congress during
the present short term in which
Alaska is interested. Gov. Bone said.
Chances for extension of the Fed.

were not very favorable. 1t is pos

however, as Secretary Gore, of the
Department Of Agriculture. assured
the Governor he would try to get il
through.
Owing to the shortness of the term
and the press Of regular supply
measures involving a great amount
of Congressional work. it is not pro
bable that general public buildings
bill will be introduced. he added.
