With the marking, it means the plant we call broom. It seemed, throughout the Is years one of the least sensible signatures it would have been possible for a girl from Indianapolis to have hit upon.

The development of Alaska is pri- mary thought in the minds of many who are interested in the future of the Ter ritory and plans for Alaskan projects and industries, must necessarily depend on transportation as a great item in the ex- penditure of funds necessary for devel- opment.
 Alaska is by nature of its geographic locality, air-minded, and as such, will take over quickly, when transportation by air becomes better and cheaper.
