Prior to fits departure from Fair
banks yesterday for Seward, the
President made a brief address to
tin* citizens al the local baseball
park in which he explained that Mrs.
Harding "had had to go to bed be
cause she was so worn out" by ac
cepting the hospitality extended by
Alaskans during the long days and
owing to the short hours of rest.
Mayor T. A. Marquam, introduc
ing the President said this "is the
greatest day in (lie history of Fair
banks.”
The Chief Executive responded by
pledging “from this day on, my of
ficial and personal Interest in the
solution of Alaskan problems.” but
qualifying the statement with the
declaration- that while he was sure
the Territory would come into its
fullest development. Its citizens
should not think that the Oovern
ment can do it for them, “whatever
the Government may do.” Continu
ing. he said: “After all, I would
rather trust Alaska's development
to your sons and daughters. I
have every confidence they will work
out your problems with whatever
help the Government may give.”
Is Real Sourdough
The President said he Is now a
real sourdough which is (lie term
applied to Alaskans of long resi
dence, adding ho is entitled to (he
designation because lie Is the first
President to visit the Territory.
The President added that the im
pression of even well read people in
the States that Alaska is the home
of adventurers, wild men and sonie
tlrutt roughnecks, had been entirely
dissipated in his mind and that it
really is the homeland of America
with unconquerable childhood and
strength. He was entertained at. a
luncheon by the citizens and the
train later lift for Seward.
