SULZER TELLS THE
TRUTH ABOUT ALASKA
u ? - ? -
William Sulzer, representative it
congress from the Tenth district of
New York city, arrived on the Ohio
yesterday from Alaska, where he has
^>eeu traveling since June. When Mr.
Sulzer reachcs home he will have trav
eled '.J.OOO miles, says the Seattle Post
Intelligent- r
Wheu the S xiieth congress convenes
he will renew his effort for a bill lo
grant Alaska ? territorial form of gov
ernment. He will intr duee a measure
t> prohibit the hunting of sea! for a
quarter of a century. He will also ask
that the Smithsonian Institution send
scientists to King's island to study the
ancient homes of the cliff dwellers who,
he declares, are uoqueationcb y the an
cestors of the clitT dwelltrs of Utah,
Arizona and New Mexico.
Mr. Sulzer traversed Alaska from the
south to the Arctic oceao and f<om the
eastrrn border to Bering stiait. He
also crossed Bering strait atd skirted
the snores of Siberia in a gaso ine
launch. He visited the two Dionede
island*. letween which ?he internation
al boundary Hes His journey* were
made by every sort of convoy ance ssve
sledges, from steam hip to th'~ na'ive
kayak, and from horseback to goiog
afoot.
"What Alaska nerds most at the
hands of the federal goverum -nt is the
right to govern herself " said Mr. Sul
zer last evening. "Alaska is a large j
distr ct and needs local legis'ation.
Alaska is as much entitled to a terri
torial form of government as any terri
tory ia the United States. Denying
this to the people of Alaska is denying
lh?m the rigbts of American citizen
ship.
'The exifo** of running the terri-j
torlai government would be lees than '
oue-h >!f the amount now paid into the
treasury of the United States What
is even more mportant, Aitska is cry
ing for home rule. Give her this and
she wou'd make progress so fast that j
?h> ?orl<l would stand aghast at tke
rapidi y of her stride. I bave seen ?nd j
talked to :he people of nlssks, and 1
ass rt as a fact that 9? per ceot. of
them are begging the federal govern
ment for the right to govern them
selves.
"Congre? must grant Alaska home
rule. I know A'ask* and I know that
she is the richest asset in Uncle Sam's

The Fifth Avenue Hotel is the biggese

wonderful possibilities along agricul

millions annually and her timber re
aourcts would supply the people of
Alaska for the nex? thousand years.
"Alaska is nearly 000.000 miles in ex

"The gove nment must put an erd

po'ed to the p'.sn to extermin-itc the
seals for the purpose of ending poac'
ing It would be just ?s reasonable to
pass a law to exterminate the deer bi.
cau e hunters kill them out of season.
When congress convenes I shall intro
duce a bill to prohibit the killing of
seals for years. I believe that when
thesalmg privilege expires the gov
eminent should not renew it for at least
a quarter of a century. This would
give the s?ais an opportu uy to multi
ply and the rookeries would again be
sjmethitg like they were years ago.
'?One of the imporiant things which
I shall urge in congress is the estab
lishment of more lighthouses on the
inside passage from Skagway to Seitlle j
and in the Bering sea. A lighthouse |
on Uoivak island and at the eoterance
to t'oint Clarence bay are pressing
needs at present.
"I visited King a island in the North
Bering se->, and made ii vesications
of the habitations of the ancient cliff

dwellers untidaied the cliff dwellers

mine for a scientific investigator and I
sh.tll endeavor to have t! e Srait! sonian
In^titurion send somebody to ex

Sight of Eye Destroyed by Disease
Tried Five Doctors but Grew |
Worse? In Agony Eight Months !
? Parents Discouraged, Until j
They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
SORES DISAPPEARED
"Our little girl, one year and a half
old, was taken with eczema or that was
what the doctor aaid it was. We called
in the family doctor and he gave some
tablets and said she would be all right
in a few davs. The eczema grew worse
and we called in doctor No. 2. Ho
said she was teething, as soon os the
teeth were through she wculd be ali
right. But she still grew worse. Doc
tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, no said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
a week. One morning wo discovered
a little yeUow pimple on one of her
eves. Of course we phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over and looked her
over and said that he could not do any
thing more for her. that we had better
take her to some eye specialist, since it
was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego
to doctor Nc. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could help it.
\\e thought we would try doctor No. 5.
Well, that proved the same, only ho
charged $10 more than doctor No. 4.
We were nearly discouraged. 1 saw
one of tho Cuticura advertisements in
the paper and thought we would try
the Cuticura Treatment, so I went anil
purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies,
which cost me $1, and in three days
our daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in onoweek all sores had dis
appear^. Of course it could not re- j
store the eyesight, but if we had used
Cuticurn in time I am confident that
It would have saved the eye. Wo think
there is no remedy so good for any skin
trouble or impurity of the blood as
Cuticura. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Abbott,
