WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 7? Chief
Forester Pinehot yesterday addressed
an official letter to Senator Dolltver
of Iowa, chairman^of the agricultur
al committee of the Senate, praising i
the work done by Louts Glavis and |
stating that President Taft made a
mistake in ordering Ola vis. removed.
Senator Dolliver read the letter in
the Senate and it caused a turmoil.
The Democrats endorse Pinchot's sen-i
tlments, but the regular Republicans
will probably rebuke him strongly.
Last night Tuft and his cabinet
held a special meeting and it is gen
erally believed that the President will
tako some decisive action regarding
Hnohot, as he considers the letter a
violation of his order that no sub
ordinate officials should be allowed
to communicate with Congress except
through the permission of the head
of their department.

Alaska as a factor In the industrial
world, Bradatreet's Mercantile Agency

attle representative, to make a full
report on the credit conditions of
Southeastern Alaska.
Mr. Eastland arrived In town on
the Rustler and will remain here
about a week.
"This is the first time that any
credit house has sent a personal re
presentative to Alaska." said Mr.
Eastland today. "But the Alaskan

oil correspondence reports .vhlch
were not satisfactory.
"You may uot know," continued
Mr. Eastland, "but Skagway has the
highest percentage of first rate cred
its among the business concerns than
any town on the Pacific coast. Nine
ty per cent of the listed business men
in town are first rate credit. This Is
a remarkable condition. Business
here seems to me to be on a very
substantial basis. The business men
aro conservative and seem to have
done well."
