Aimed at in House
j Memorial by Foster
i - •
Separating Alaska Into two j
| Territories to replace the one ,
| now constituted, is the aim*of I
a House joint memorial intro- j
duced this morning by Repre- |
j (tentative Foster, of Cordova. !
It seeks to make one out of the |
| present First Division and the
| second to be composed of the ;
other three divisions, the latter j
to have its capital at Seward.
The memorial points out that
, the First Division, as compare! j
] to other divisions, is fairly
j densely populated, while the ;
| most important town in it. Ju
| noau. is 600 miles dlstnnt from- |
j Cordova, its next nearest '

i Third Division. The memorial i
| claims: "the other three divl- 1
| sions of the Territory-of Alaska I
j are largely tributary to the
Government Railroad extend
ing front Soward to Fairbanks
| and have resources and Inter
I cats separate widely divergent
I from the interests of the First
| Division.
i The Delegate is asked to in
i troduce a bill in Congress for I
the division as proposed and i
Congress urged to pass it.
