the metropolitan at Shackamaxon,
establishing new scoring record;
he won the Western with an un-
heard-of total; he captured the
Canadian last summer, and after
a miserable showing at Salisbury,
where he had shifted to a steel
head, he changed back to the
wooden and won the P. G. A.
championship from Gene Sarazen.
That putter doesn't owe him a
cent.
Tommy should be an ardent
advocate of the old ball. He
couldn't score at all with the
balloon" this winter; at Aqua
Caliente he couldn't even qualify
for the final day of play. Yet
over a period of nine months,
playing the old ball, he has won
three of the major championships
of the world!
Possibly the only flaw in Tom
my's cup of happiness is the fact
that he won the British Open with
Bobby Jones missing from the
field. Armour is too much Of a
sportsman to enjoy victory with
the Atlanta wizard among the
missing, but he has the satisfac-
ton of knowing that his score
at 296 at Carnoustie is one that
even a Jones would find hard to
beat.
That II in the last lap was
one of the greatest rounds ever
scored in a championship and
it must have reminded Tommy
of II that won him the Amer
lean Open.
The difference is that at Oak
mont he simply had great Sec
ond round: at Carnoustie he
played championship golf under
great pressure, at a time when
others were cracking - Jurado,
Mac Smith, Henry Cotton.
When Tommy comes marching
home again he will have to learn
to play the balloon" to compete
in the national open at To
ledo the first week in July. Nat
urally he will be keen to capture
that title as well, and he should
start a favorite.
Armour was born in Edinburgh
36 years ago. The story of his life
reads like one of the Alger books,
but he deserves all the credit in
the world for the way in which
he has fought to attain his place
in the golfing sun.

quarters were established at Sitka. Hence, in that sense, it was the capital.
 Fur, as the only exportable natural resource, was taken away and no part of the revenues were returned to help develop the ter ritory. The Russians, during their years of occupation, acquired but meager information about their colonies to the east of Bering Straits, hence it is not surprising that they were quite willing to dispose of all of their interests when the opportunity came.
 Beginning of Second Epoch
 For many years after we ac- quired the Territory our adminis- tration was not much of an im- provement over that Of the Rus sians. Legislation was confined to the protection of fur seals and the only courts were in the Pacific Coast States.
 Finally Congress passed the act of 1884 which created 8 civil and judicial district embracing the en- tire Territory, provided for the ap- pointment of a Governor and de- fined his duties. With one or two minor amendments this Act of 1884 was the law of the Territory until 1900 It was during this second period that reindeer were brought to the Territory for the purpose of relieving distress among the natives Without question the most notable event of that time was the discovery of gold in Alaska and the Yukon. It seems reason able to assume that had it not been for the great influx of popu- lation and the interest that was aroused by those discoveries we might today be working under the laws of 1884.
 lnret CDurtS CTcateQ
 By Act of Congress of June 6, 1900, three district courts were created. Provisions were made for the appointment of United States Commissioners by the courts and their duties were defined. The seat of Government was moved from
 
 Sitka to Juneau Cities and towns were permitted to incorporate and assume control of their schools Fifty per cent of the revenues derived from license monies was devoted to maintenance of schools
 Tn the interim between 1900 and 1912 many laws were enacted but the most important development was the Act of May '. 1906 which provided for the election of a Delegate to represent Alaska in Congress.
 Start of Third Epoch
 Finally, some 45 years after the purchase of Alaska, the Act of August 24, 1912, or what is more familiarly known as the Organic Act was approved. Its most i'm portant feature is, of course, the creation of our Territorial Leg islature. Pursuant to the authority contained in the Act the first Territorial Legislature was organ ized in 1913
 Every new law and every inn provement in our facilities for en- forcing the laws has been preceded by events which justified the change and each time we have emerged with greater authority in the Territory. I am convinced that the construction of this capitol, since it will be material factor in the more efficient administra- ton of our affairs, is but another
