Yaldez, Alaska, Fob. 1.--Please
answer flu* following for the ben
efit of a long suffering Alaskan
public:
When docs a person become a
citizen of Alaska?
When does he c^ase lo be a cit
izen of Alaska?
If he once attended a pool game
at the Arctic Club in Seattle doof
that make him a sourdough?
If ho had a friend who At on«
lime went tip as far as Ketchikan
on a halibut schooner, does that
entitle him lo have a voice in the
making of Iho laws of this coun
try?
Having passed through Seattle
some few years ago and now liv
ing on the reservation, have I a
right to tell the govornor of
Washington how to run his state?
If not, why not, If so, why?
This will be all thiB4lme.
