 Alaska has room for more people, an indefinite multitude of people who will not exist as stream or float ing population, but will be a pros porous people having their occupa- tions and homes permanently fixed in the Territory.
 The Alaska fisheries and placer mining, are by their nature seasonal activities, the one flourishing the few months of the year during which the fish runs take place, and the other depending for it's existence upon the summer months during which water for placer mining opera tions is obtainable. It is undoubted, ly true that the great majority of those who follow these vacations do not have their permanent homes in Alaska but come or go from the territory as the season for their work begins or ends.
 Lode mining on the other hand is not a seasonal industry and may be, and is, carried on the entire year around even in the interior where the winters are the most severe. Hydro-electric power can be gener- ated both winter and summer if the conditions are at all favorable A successful example of such a power plant may be seen in ef- ficient operation at a town in the interior of the Copper River valley, the plant supplying power and light to the town during thecoldest win ters. Alaska is very fortunate in the number and extent of her lode deposits and it is through the de- velopment of these into mines giv- ing continuous employment to great number of miners that we can ob- tain the increased population we de sire; as the lode mines are developed so will farming increase and prosper the mines furnishing the market fo1 the farmers produce.
 A great many of the mineral lode districts, especially those in the in terior of Alaska, are remote from any present system of transporta tion and the cost of landing sup plies to them is so high that very little development work has beer done upon any except those few de posits where the ore was of bon anza richness and could thus stand the high freight charges. The building of motor truck roads into these now remote districts, linking them up with already existing road! or connecting with cheap base Q supply will make them accessible and so lower the present excessive freight costs, so that development work can proceed. While at frs only such ore deposits will be mined

which contain a product sufficiently valuable to withstand the haulage charge, deposits of a lower grade will receive some attention and if their size and character justify 1t, powerful companies will acquire con- trol of them and eventually construct railroad to them
 It is at least 50 per cent cheaper to move supplies in the summer sea- son with truck on a fair road than to transport them on the snow in the winter time, providing the quantity to be moved is small The cost of winter sledding equipment is greater than summer haulage equipment, and thus makes the over- head charge on small quantities of winter freight high. Where large quantities of supplies are to be moved this is not so and in that case winter sledding on snow and ice is by far the cheapest method. In the early development stages of a lode camp the supplies needed would not be of great quantity, and a motor road to transport them on would make possible a saving of 50 per cent in freight cost, and this saving might very we'll mean suc- cess instead of failure in the camps development.
 The Alaska Road Commission ap- pears to be fully aware of the great need for roads to these remote lode mineraal districts in Alaska and the benefit the territory will derive from their development, but is blocked from taking action for lack of con- struction funds. I would like to suggest that the territory of Alaska itself might furnish money neces- sary for a thorough examination of these undeveloped lode districts that can be developed by road building, an examination to be made by cap- able mining engineers and geologists who will estimate as near as possible the annual value of the mineral wealth which such district may be able to produce when fully developed, appraising not only the known de- posits in each district but also the obability of other finds of inn portance will require men of excep- tional ability and large experience if any degree of accuracy is to be ob- tained The U. S. Geological Sur. vey has among it's members many who would fill the requirements as to ability and experience, among others such men as F. H. Moffitt and $. R. Capps, who are familiar with Alaska and have a large fund of knowledge of the territory gained through their years of service in it.
 An estimate of the productive value of a lode district, once made, should make it easier for the president of the Alaska Road Commission to pre- sent the estimate to Congress and tell it's members that the certain sum of money invested in the build ing of a road will develop a dis trict that will produce this other certain large amount and besides give employment to numerous min CTS and will open up farm lands along the road route upon which farmers will settle and cultivate the soil, marketing their crops at the mines in their vicinity.
 By all means let us have roads to our mountain mineral districts, roads \ down which mining, farming and a greater population will march along together towards the goal of a more prosperous Alaska.

II, although the indictment gives
April 10 as the date Of the alleged
plot.
The fire was first reported by a
woman living next door to Stephen
sons home. She told police and
firemen she, saw a light in the house
about IL y. m. and heard a loud
explosion about 1 a. m.
Capt. ID. w. Hill, Pumper Com
pany 25 at the time said he found
gas jets in the kitchen turned on
but unlighted. He said he found an
open ten-gallon can Of mixed
gasoline and oil under the stairway
downstairs; another ten. n.gallon can
Of the mixture in the closet upstairs,
and a number Of one-gallon cans
scattered about the house.
Indications at the time were that
a six-gallon can had exploded in the
dining room, shooting flames all
through the downstairs portions Of
the house.
Fire department officials at the
time said that it would have been i'm.
possible for one man to have carried
gasoline and oil through the house
without assistance.
Garage Visited
When police arrived they reported
finding the garage in the rear Of tho
home well equipped and furnished.
and that the bed had every appear
ance of having been occupied only
short time before.
Stephenson, who wes at liberty at
that time on bond, in connection with
the alleged attack upon Miss Ober-
holtzer, said that he first received
news of the fire about a. m., when
Eph Inman, his attorney. called him.
Stephenson said that Butler, who
was with him at the time made the
remark that it was another act for
humanity's sake"
Stephenson's home has about
twenty rooms. The flames destroyed
an overstuffed chair in the dining
room and swelled and cracked the
hardwood flooring. The interior OF
the room also was badly damaged.
Flames leaping through the windows
burned the outside Of the house.
