CROWD GREETS
RISHOP ROWE
Tells of His Experiences In Wash
ington in Interesting
Manner
Moose hull was comfortably
filled last evening by the crowd
of ladies ami gentlemen who were
there to bear Bishop llowe ad
dress the Chamber of Commerce.
Bishop llowe staled be bad gone
to Washington lo use bis influ
ence to get the government to do
something for the physical wel
fare of the natives of Alaska. The
deplorable condition of the Cop
per River Indians had decided him
that something should be done by
tb«! government and he had gone
straight lo Washington to lake
the mailer up with President Taft.
He was readily received at the
White House and during a con
ference which lasled two hours!
President Taft was much inter- ]
esled in the condition of the na
tives and promised Bishop llowe
lo do all in bis power to secure
, relief for them. The. president
bad arranged a conference be
tween Secretary Fisher and Bish
op llowe and promised to sup
port any suggestions made by the
interior department.
During I he confreence with
Secretary Fisher the truth bad
been forced upon liim that the
departments could do little of real
assistance as the senate and con
gress did not always follow the
suggestions of the departments.
Bishop llowe then went before
the house committee on territor
ies and found Chairman Flood
willing lo help Alaska if only the
way was made clear, lie told the
committee lie was not asking for
help for the whites of Alaska;
they were able to take care of
themselves. II was the Indians
be wished to help and it was the
duly of the government to care
for them. He was astonished at
the ignorance displayed bv its
members concerning Alaska.
Alaskans who bad-.gone $.0 W;ish
inglon had not been united and
had all given different views of
conditions which bad served lo
pux/.le the senators and members
of congress.
llishnp Howe said I In* members
of'lho eongressional eonimillce
hail asked some perl inoul ques
tions. They had asked him if he
had eonsulted with anyone re
garding the measure previous to
coining be Tore I tie committee. lie
replied lie had taken the; question
up wilh Delegate Wiekersharn but
the Intter had manifested little
interest in the matter and he had
then gone to I he president.
Ilishop Howe did not consider it
a matter of sentiment but rather
one of justice and duty on the
part of the government to care for
the physical health of the In
dians. lie was gratified to know
thaL $70,000 had been appropri
ated to care for the education of
the natives but considered their
medical health as of far greater
importance.' The diseases of the
natives toas a menace to the white
population of Alaska.
When Rishop Rowe appeared
before the senate committee he
found them wiso on home rule
and other poliliral questions, lie
had heen asked how he stood on
the lerrilorinl government ques
tion and told the committee ho
had opposed home rule for a long
lime, but hnd changed his mind.
The people of Alaska were Ameri
ean citizens of a splendid type and
fully capable of governing them
selves. He still feared the rev
enues of the territory were not.
sufficient 'to maintain the local
government if the federal palron
age was entirely withdrawn.
This was a political year and
Ihe senators and congressmen
were more concerned about their
own constituencies than about
Alaska. Ho believed Alaska would
receive favoralHo legislation soon
if our needs were ventilated in
Iho right way. The Chamber of
Commerce should go after what
Is fight in a concerted manner
and its requests would receive at
tention.
Referring to Ihe dyke appropri
ation Bishop howe laid ho bad
heard vef*y little about it while in
Wafhington and might have heen
ab^e to tys of atone assistance in
sedltirJng the appropriation, an
they did not suspoot him In
Washington yet and ho was sup
posed to bo neutral and to favor
