Chief Forester Stuart Says Washington Is Support
 ing Flory's Efforts

The U. s. Forest Service is en- tirely in sympathy with the drive of the District Office in. Alaska to establish the pulp and paper manu- featuring industry here on a frofit . able and permanent basis, declared Maj. R. Y. Stuart, Chief Forester who is now making his first visit to the Territory. He arrived yes- terday on the Coast Guard Cutter Tahoe, accompanying the Congress sional party.
 We are absolutely back of the work of the Forest Service in Alaska in it's undertaking to bring capital here for the same develop ment of your forests and will aid in the effort in every way possible, ]" Maj. Stuart said And he is hope full that these efforts will be crown ed with success in the near future.
 He sees a fine field here for the industry. Timber and water power resources are so located as to offer an unusually attractive proposition and opportunity for those who are interested in such enterprises.
 Maj. Stuart is interested in mat ters of Forest administration. It is the policy of the Forest Service, he said, to give local officers, par ticularly in Alaska, jurisdiction over matters arising within the district, facilitating action and obviating de- lays that might be encountered if it were necessary to have them passed on from Washington. It is the desire of the Forest Service, he said, to give Alaskans real serv- ice, to help the Territory grow, and it believes it is proceeding along lines best suited to do this.

Search for Painting
 ssPmc1,ase of Alaska''
 Practically Abandoned

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-After ;earching eight years for the fa- nous painting the Purchase of Alaska by the noted German ar tist Emanuel Leutze, Deleg Q Sutherland has about despaired of finding it through the art collec- tors.
 Delegate Sutherland sought the picture, which was painted in 1881, to present to the people of his ter ritory as it was the only original canvas of the drafting of the treaty which resulted in the transfer of Russian America to the United States. It is one of the last great works of the artist who depicted many other outstanding histori- cal events in this and other coun- tries. He painted washington Crossing the Delaware" "Emanci- pation," columbus Before the Queen" and westward, Ho."
 For many years the Purchase of Alaska" hung above the bar in the palatial grill room of the long, since demolished Riggs Hotel, near the Treasury Building. The hotel was demolished to make room for a theatre.
 The painting is said to have been 10 feet long by eight feet high. It disappeared, but fortunately copy had been made by another artist and reproductions have been ob- tained from this.
