GOVERNOR TO ASK CON
GRESS FOR 1HG FUND
Governor J. F. A. Strong today
announced his intention to ask con
gress at its next session for an ap
propriation in the sum of $150,000
to give Alaska equal representation
with other great commonwealths at
the Panama Pacific International Ex
position in San Francisco, 1915, say
the Juneau Dispatch.
Congress la3t June appropriated
a blanket sum amounting to $500,
000, "to inaugurate, install, main
tain and return from the exposition,
government exhibits, Including those
that may be furnished by the Smith
sonian institution, the Isthmian Ca
nal commission, the interstate com
merce commission, the Red Cross
society, the commission of fine arts,
the library of congress,'the public
printer, the U. S. geog.-vphic board,
Alaska, Porto Rico and Hawaii."<
This fund was approved June 23,
1913, but it has not yet been segre
gated. Consequently it is impossible
to ascertain flow much of the fund
will be applied to getting Alaska's
exhibits to and lrom the exposition.
Should the amount allotted to
Alaska be $100,000, which seems un
likely, when the number of societ
ies included in the appropriation are
considered, Governor Strong will ask
for an additional appropriation,
"Alaska should send a bigger
and better exhibit to San Francisco
than eveer before," said Governor
Strong this morning. "J. C. McBride,
fair commissioner during the A. Y.
P. exposition, has told me the appro
priation of $100,000 was entirely ex
hausted in arranging Alaska's exhib
its at the Seattle fair, so we want
to have ample funds for the San
Francisco fair In 1915."
The exposition company will pro
vide suitable buildings to house the
exhibits so the total expense en
tailed will be that of securing the
exhibits and trr.nsporting them. ■
Governor Strong has received a
letter from Adolph C. Miller, assis
tant secretary cf the interior, who
has been named chairman I of the
fair exhibit board. The governor
has replied, setting forth Alaska's
desires for a larger exhibit than tha
at the Seattle exposition.
