As Seen By Some Mem
bers of Congres
sional Party.
Seattle, June 20. — Alaska
needs home rule and publicity,
labor, capital, and perhaps elec
tion of the governor by the peo
pie, Representative Cole, of I
Iowa, speaking for the congres
sional party returning from a
visit to the Territory, said this
morning. Speaking of Alaska’s
coastal forests, Cole declared
they contained enough material
to supply print paper to half the
newspapers of the United States
for centuries.
The party, having motored
from Mt. Rainier today, left b.y
train at midnight for Yellow
stone Park. The party will dis
band at Denver.
Tokotna's celebration of the t.h was
a very mild affair, as might have been
expected, due to Lite fact that most all
the boys were pretty well occupied on
the creeks or other not-near places,
making it inconvenient for them to
make a town visit. No preparations
had been made for anything out of the
ordinary, but. notwithstanding this, a
goodly number of workers found their
way to town, arriving mostly on the
afternoon-of the 3d and remaining over
till late on the national holiday.
A new sidewalk, four feet wide, bus
been laid in front of the Guliikson
House, during the past few days, it is
a decided improvement, not only to the
property itself but to the town, and an
excellent example has beeD set for. a
few other Front street property hold
ers, not excepting The Kosko Times.
At a meeting of the Terri torial Board
of .Education, held at Juneau a few
weeks ago, the regulation adopted in
.021, whereby residents of school dis
riets situated outside of incorporated
towns are required to provide fuel and
re pairs to school building:; without, cost
to the Territory, was set aside. In the
future the apportionment of funds i'ur
the maintenance of school buildings
will be sufficiently large to cover these
items.
