VF2 SR T HORSE SHON OPERG WITH BIG PROGRAM Arlington Park Events Wit- nessed by Typical Socially Distinguished Crowd. Despite dismal gray skies that threatened momentarily to rout tho performers agaln, the National Capital horse show got under way in earnest at Arlington Park this afternoon. An unusually attractive program brought out a large gallery of horse lovers, and when the bugler sum- moned the bangtails to the arena for the first event the flag-draped grand- stand was filled with a large and socially distingulshed crowd. It was a typical National Capital horse show ! crowd too, vividly-hued sport suits and brightly tinted habits lending color and dash to the spectacle. Two events on today's program were specia notable. The first was the clash for road, hack and hunters. the entrants to be ridden by thelr owners.

Evidence of petroloum in Alaska exists in many regions, but dificulties of transporta- tion have prevented drilling on an :x-l tensive scale. The fisheries of Alagka make up its principal commerce. Salmon, her- ring, clams, shrimps, and other sea f00ds In abundant quantities are tak- en from its waters annually and an Immense canning industry has been built. 1 2 graphite and as- Climate Delightful. “In the popular fancy. Alaska is supposed to be a forbidding. ice- covered, glacier-crowned land of dog teams and polar bears. The truth ©of the matter is that it is a country of delightful climate many months of the yvear, with an area of 100, square miles, fitted for agriculturel development and capable of producing crops of almost endless variety. Along the coasts of Alaska are magnificent virgin forests, the value {of which runs into many millions of dollars and the timber of which has scarcely been touched. They cover an area of 20,579,336 acres or slight- 1y 6 per cent less than the total area of the entire territor. “The American government has Just completed the construction of a railroad through the far-off wilder- ness of Alaska at a cost of about 00.000. _This line extends from rd to Fairbanks, n distancs of miles, penetrating into the very heart of the territory. and is the first railroad ever built and onerat:d by this government. Although running at a loss it is the first great step in building an empire in this northern country that must be followed by the construction of roads and trails upon a scale of over-shadowing magnitude in order to encourage settlement and industry, thus feeding the with a full complement of and passenger traffic. “The administration of the affairs of the territory of Alaska is now in the hands of thirty-five different de- partments and bureaus of the govern- ment. The various functions per- formed by them consist of 135 activi- ties dealing with every concelvable phase of governmental supervision and jurisdiction. “The complexity of governmental activitles that govern the territory, therefore, presents an enigma in ftself that must be untangled before this country of vast resources can be {orened up. A summary of some of the problems that the President and the members of his cablnet will study during their tour of Alaska follows: “Whether the complete jurisdiction over the whole of Alaska shall be vested in a single department of the government. “Whether a colonization and immi- gration plan shall be immediately put into effect to Increase its popula- tion and begin the ultimate develop- ment of its resource “Whether there shall be bullt up a corps of trained men with headquar- ters in Alaska to search out and re- port regularly upon the mineral re- sources of the territory. { “Whether branch lines and spurs to jthe Alaska rallroad shall be construct- ed to bring it into fuller usefulness In meeting {ndustrial needs. | "Whether there shall be more liberal | appropriations for the buliding of roads and trails in the interior of | Alaska, a regular appropriation of 1$1,500.000 annually being asked. l | D.

For two decades after the death of his father, George Gould contin- ued to manage the vast properties, and many financiers and railroad men have declared that he fre- quently surpassed his famous mentor in his capacity to weave an indefinite jumble of railroads into a definite and complete system. Removed as Executor. Dissatisfaction among other of the heirs of Jay Gould over George's han- dling of the estate, however, had been growing for some time, and in July, 1919, he was removed as executor and trustee by a court order. Mr. Gould's first marriage was in 1886 to Edith Kingdon, who dropped dead while playing golf on the Gould estate at Lakewood, N. J., in Novem- ber, 1921. From this union there were five children. Mr. Gould married a former actress, thirty vears his junior. The second marriage was regarded as almost a: much of an elopement as the mar- riages of three of hischildren—Edith, George, jr., and Kingdon. The first news of it came from Parls, where the couple were spending their honey- moon, but it later transpired that the ceremony was performed in Lake- wood. As a consequence of this sec- ond marriage, Mr. Gould lost prop- erty valued at $3,000,000 left by his first wife, which reverted to a trust fund for her children. Mr. Gould's home in Lakewood, N. J.. has been described as one of the most magnificent country places in America. ALEXANDRIA.

The President's tentative plans pro- vide that he board the Henderson at Seattle. The trip to Alaska and back to San Francisco is to occupy about a month. At San Francisco the Hen- dergon will resume her regular sall- ing schedule. By returning through the canal the President will curtail his_speech- making plans in the west by about one-half. He previously had planned to come back to Washington through the northern tier of states, with speeches at Aberdeen, Minneapolls, Chicago, Detroit and other cities in that territory. During his visit to Alaska, it was announced today at the Interior De- partment, the President will drive a golden splke, celebrating the com- pletion of the Alaskan railroad.
