He visited Ju- neau, Skagway and other towns, where | he was given a warm reception, as he is | one the foremost advocates in Con- gress of Alaska's need of and right to a | Territorial government. In an interview Congressman Sulzer says he is more than ever impressed with the importance of Alaska's resources and the justice of the claim of her people for local self-govern- ment. He is determined therefore to ad- vance in every possible way legislation in Alaska’s behalf during the coming ses- sion of Congress. He points out that dur- ing the last fiscal year the revenues of | the Alaskan government exceeded the ex- penditures by nearly $300,000, proving that Alaska’s present population can afford the expenses of a Territorial government | if they desire. In his opinion the rapid development of Alaska’s Industries ecan | Iba best accomplished by placing the ad- | ministration of her public affairs in the | hands of her own people, who thoroughly understand the country's needs. —_—— Fire in a Military Academy.
