THE LAST LEC|SLATURE
House Bill No. 25 The Probate Bill

of Attorney General John Rust gard, on March 18th. It was referred to the Judiciary Com- mittee of which Joseph Mur- ray was chairman. On April 11th it was still in that com mittee, having had no consid- eration whatever. Perhaps the fact that it was a bill contain ing 137 pages had something to do with that fact.
 It was a bill that deserves careful attention and with some changes should become a law, but it soon became apparent that the House would not give the bill any consideration on the ground of lack of time. Many in the House told MT. Paul that they could not sup port the bill simply because they would not have time to even read the bill. After con- sulting with friends of such legislation like H. H. Ross of Fairbanks, w. D. Grant, J. J. Elliott of Nome and others, MT. Paul asked for and obtain ed unanimous consent to with draw the bill, providing at the time that the copies of the bill should be collected and deliv- cred to the attorney general for introduction in the next legislature on or about the first day of the session.
 While MT. Paul acted with entire innocence in withdraw ing the bill, he made a serious mistake in not consulting with MT. Rustgard who was the real father of the bill. The trouble was that MT. Paul did not realize that MT. Rustgard want ed a record vote on that bill altho realizing that it could not pass, for the purpose of making it a campaign issue in 1926. As a result of this act however, John Rustgard raved around the streets of Juneau like a wild man, cursing Paul in language that had never been heard to come from him before as he strode about the streets of Juneau in those gar gantuan boots of his. He had considered that Paul had pur- posely done the "dirty" deed

Early the follow ing spring he set sail northward to Cook Inlet, which he naVigated to it's head Thence he rounded Cape Eliza beth en route to Prince William Sound, where he anchored in harbcr on tie coast of Montague Island. Boats were sent out to survey the south and the coast as far eastward as Yakutat Bay. Anchor was then weighed and the expedition sailed eastward to Chieagof Hand. From here a boat explored Lynn canal and part of Chatham Strait. Vancouver then proceeded southward through the arihipeIago to the StiEeen river, the point where observations had ceased the preceding fall. From this point he returned to England, having satisfied himself that no navigable passage connected the North Pacific with the Atlantic Ocean, and having made certain corrections in md addi- tions to the work begun by Cook
 These explorations by Cook and Vancouver formed the basis of Eng lands claim to Northwestern North America.
