PEOPLE MUST ACT
TO SECURE FUNDS
1 Gov. J. F. A. Strong has received |
a reply from Delegate Wlckersham in
relation to the matter of obtaining a
special appropriation for an Alaska
j exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Exposi
; tion. Gov. Strong wrote a strong let
ter to Delegate. Wlckersham before
receiving tho letter from Adolph C. Mil
ler. chairman of the exhibit board. The i
reply from Delegate Wlckersham is in
response to that letter. Gov. Strong
today said that the situation is such
that Alaska must bring more pressure
to bear if the mudk.needed appropria
tion is to be secured, arid that he hopes
the people will take some action?
through cojiimercial bodies and pub
ll? meetings ^%rge noc$MlHr.. of.
appropriation asked _Xor.
The letter from Delegate Wlcker
sham follows:
"Hon. J. F. A. Strong. Gov. of Alas
ka. Juneau. Alaska.
My Dear Governor:
"I have your letter of January 15th,
touching the matter of the Alaska ex
hibit at the Panama Exposition. This
matter Is being given much consider
ation by the proper department and
Kalph H. Royal, of Skagway, is here
giving it much of his attention also.
The Department seems inclined to al
low very little ol^the money appropriat
ed for the Ala&an exhibit and I have
not had time to take it up with them
I on account of the Alaska railway bill.
As soon as that matter if off hands I
will be glad to give the exhibition sit
uation some attention although I am
not sure that we can change the sit
uation as it now exists.
"Very truly yours.
"(Signed) JAMES WlCKERSHAM.

SMITH IS TREE;
? WILSON^ A CITIZEN
B. Smith who wen to trial last Sat
urday for the crime of selling liquor
to Indians, was acquitted last evening
by the verdict of tho Jury after the
latter had been out several hours. Al
though the Indictment charged Smith
with this felony, and although he was
referred to as the defendant, In reality,
he was but a pawn In tho battle that
was waged between Attorney Z. R.
Cheney and ^jwIsUyit-Distrlct Attorney
Roy V. Nye. The' real flght was for
the citizenship of the native Alaska
Indian who measures up to the stand
ard set by the Federal statute. There
was no denial on the part of tho de
fendant of the act of selling liquor to
Tommy Wilson, the government's
chief witness In the case?it was ad
mitted.
The defense set up that Wilson, al
though an Indian, was, under the stat
ute, a citizen and it was therefore no
more a crime to give or sell liquor
to him'than to any other citizen.
Alison, the star witness for the gov
ernment, was also put on the stand
Kd made the star witness for the de
fense. By his ready and satisfactory
answers to questions relating to law,
government, and the history of tho
country; "by his knowledge of civilized
life: and by the proof .shown that he;
had severed all tribal relations, the
Jury was convinced that he was a cit
izen. and made their verdict accord
ingly.
Native Alaska Indians, who aspire
to become citizens, and those interest
ed In their education, watched the case
with great interest and express satis
faction over the outcome?what be
comes of Smith, the acquitted, seems
to interest but few.

Lane Says Alaska's
Development Must Begin
t
'TV
WASHINGTON. F?i>. 17.?Tho hear- j
Ing on tho Ferris bill- authorizing
tho lease of Alaska -coal lands began
before tho House pabUc lands commit
tee this morning. Secretary of the
Interior Franklin K. Lane appeared be
fore the committee In'bohalf of the!
measure. He tgoki strong ground I
against the action oil former adminis
trations for withdrawal of the lands
from the use of the people. He snld:
"Alaska's development has been
hampered long enough. While theor^
ists hnve been discussing what shotiWf
be done the resources of the Torritory j
have remained idle and the popula-.
tion has dwindled. Many ludustrles
have been ruined. We want to make,
that country our ownJiy building a gov- j
ernment railf#Rd. The people of the
Pacific Coast expectlthe Federal gov-j
ernment to place Alaska's coal at
their disposal. The withdrawal of the
coal lands of the Territory was a
great cruelty to the people of Alas
kn. The development of that Terrl- j
tory must begin."
Government Reserves Coal Lands.
The Ferris bill, In addition to provid
lng for the opening of the coal lands, j
reserves for the government 5120 ncres |
of the Bering river coal lands and 7,-1
G80 acres In the Matanuska field. This :
reserved government coal acreage Is |
to be mined under the direction of the
President for the use of government i
works and in the construction and op-1
oration of the proposed government
owned railroad In Alaska and for the!
use of the navy. It, also, is provided
that it might be used for the purpose
of holding monopoly in check.

UNCLE SAM MUST
PAY MORE RENT
T' government will soon be made
aw of the urgent need of u Federal
building in Juneau. . Government ofll
ce? are no longer considered the most
desirable tenants^ when others are
willing and anxious t6 take possession
of the premises at increased rentals
for the landlord. Tjtie increased de
mand for business locations has caus
ed a sharp advance if rents for choice
locations. When old leases expire
inndlords are loath to renew at the
old figures and as a consequence the
government will stand the increase or
erect a Federal building in Juneau.
Tho Odd Fellows' hall management
has outlined the .Federal officials, with
offices in the Odd Fellows' building,
thftt'.thefe will be .a^oateriaLiocrease^
in the rents, taking effect almost im
mediately. Other Federal officials,
are finding their ofllce room cramped ;
and undesirable on account of in-!
creased business. The postoffice will j
have to seek new quarters, and thus;
far but two bids have been received I
for this Federal institution that has!
always been looked upon ns a distinct!
advantage to any business section of:
a community.
The Federal offices in Juneau are ?
scattered and cause all manner of loss |
in time to those who hnve business to j
transact in the Capital City of Alaska.;
There has been an appropriation made
toward constructing a Federal building j
on the block of land purchased by the
government for that purpose. Whether i
or not the conditions obtaining will ?
stimulated and hasten action in the;
matter is a question that Is Interest
ing the public just now. It Is very
probable that this matter will be
touched upon at the special meeting
of the Juncnu Commercial Club, called
for Thursday night of 'this week.
