O, Nov. 21 - (Special Correspondence) — In the sudden death of Senator Wesle; L. Jonés of Washington state thc Territcry of Alaska loses a valued friend. As chairman of the Sen- ate Appropriations Committee he frequently came to the rescue of the. North when the House had cut' needed sums in the variou bills passed by the lower body. The recent cvidence of this was in the appropriation made by the House in the last session forthe Alaska Road Commission, -which cut the budget allowance of $650- 000 to $354,000. Through the ac- tivity. of Delegate Wickersham. the chairman of the Senate Approp riations Commitiee was induced to insist that the sum be raised to $494,000. This was done and the committee report was accepted and included in the bill as finally pass- ed by the Senate. I{ then went to- conference in the last days. of |the session, and was accepted, by the House. Fortunately for Alas- [ash- ington State, Hon. Clarence C. Dill, is also a ctaunch supporter cf. the legitimate needs of the Territory and can be relied upon, in his ag- ) |gressive and. efficient way, to ren- der beneficial service. In the mext Congress Senator Dill will prove |one of the strong and influential members, | A.
