 TERRITORIAL FLOWER

1T move that the Alaska Ter ritorial flower be changed from the F'orget-me-not to the Fire weed" writes that live young wire Leo P. Bott, IT., of the Bolts Ad- vertiSing Agency, of Little Rock, Arkansas, in a letter received by the Gateway in the last mail.
 Continuing he says: il have made four trips to Alaska, and have written much about it. On every trip I have been especially impressed with the beautiful Fire weed, but have seen but few For get-me-notS It's true that the Fireweed grows in British Colum- bia, and in parts of the States. but So does the Forget t-me-not. I have never seen FireWeed any where that could equal the beauty ln color, size and form as this exquisite flower in Alaska, and l feel that tourists particularly are impressed with this glorious and beautiful flower growing SO much in profusion. The name, however, should De termed Fire flower instead of F'ireweed.
 II hope you will agree with me, and So will the other publi- cations, and other influential powers in Alaska, and that the Territorial legislature will see fit to make the change which I be- lieVe would be most advantageous to Alaska from a broad and ad- vertising standpoint"
