He asserts that "the resident gen

measure which will cause the fuel
resource to be opened to develop

leasing plan of government operation
Jave almost ceased to be matter of

Alaska, which have kept capital

Deans of encouragement to the devel
opment of a virgin region."
As to commerce between Alaska
nd the United State and with for
eign countries, it was the largest
last year in the history of the terri

LONDON, Dec II. Both the Turkt Indue the government to yield certain

clined to go to a free hospital.'
Although living In the same rooms,
