fa the (Held. He gave briefly the
record of lhl» own cdtnpany, the Wild
Goose .Mining Company, in operating
low grade area- as an indication
of wtha-t Ciiin be done. The reindeer
herds of Seward Peninsula, he said
have increased from 1.300 animals
to 225,000 in 22 years in addition to
the vast number slaughtered. In the
next 10 years, he predicted, the
herds will increase to 2,000,000 in
number of deer. The herds, he add
ed, double in size every three years
Alaska, he concluded, is at the ebb
tide, ft is the pioneer country to
■tfhe West Just as the West, several
decade;s ago, was pioneer land to the
East, and the same course of develop
ment will be followed.

He described it.s use for cooking and
heating and tn statifonar.v bolls, for

| ed to the 2,400 “buddies” who under
his command confMtuted the Sevr;h
light Unit of the A. E. F.
The work off the Alaska Road Com
mission, he said, lays mostly in 'lie
wide areas of Interior Alaska- He
compflimented the people of Juneau
Lfor their support of the Commis
sion and “their broad view of the
roads situation.” He dealt briefly
with the Territory’s needs for trans
portation and spoke of the utility
of sled roads in Interior Alaska and
the part they are iplaying in develop
ment -of mineralized districts, men
tioning particularly the KautUbua
region.
He touched in passing in reserva
tions which ho asserted was not -true
conservation. He argued that in or
der t'o brine about development of a
pfoneer country it is necessary to
take a chance, to leave resources
available for acquistltion. He pointed
to the history of tihet development of
tlhie Middle West and Northwest for
•precedents.
Delegate Speak* In Light Vein
In introducing Delegate Sutherland,
Mr. Roden referred to the fisheries
situation, saying he was inclined to
'believe the Delegate's po lition on the
reservations is correct. He suggest
ed, however, that the Territorial
Legislature bad the power to regu
late the canning industry by placing
a progressive tax on canned salmon
that would render large packs -by In
dividual canneries unprofitable.
The Delegate spoke in a light vein,
-without touching upon any contro
versial subject. He said when the
time came he would look carefully
Into the matter of . Karl Theile's
dlatims for Akiak for Alaska's capital
and of the feeling there. "One thing
1s certain. 1 will never be a party
to putting the capital in a community
that doesn't want it,” he declared.
Mr. Sutherland described the l.ikt
dinner of the Clri-diron Club, in Wash
ington, at which he was a guest,
tolling several humorous stories, in
cluding three told on that occasion
by Irvin S- Cobb.
-Fonme r Territorial Senator Brttt
gave reminiscences of Territorial
Legislatures since 1A13. mentioning
many former members and measures
considered.
Dimond Last Speaker
Senator A. J Dimond was the last
speaker of the evening. He spoke
briefly in a humorous vein but con
cluded by referring .to whit he con
sidered the three Important things
for the Legislature to do—provide
for continuance of maintenance and
extension of the Territorial school
system, continued road appropriations
ahld last, 'better care of aged pioneers.
If the Legislature does not make
better provision for these individuals,
be asserted, it wiill have done less
than its duty.
