W ASHINGTON. D C? Feb. 7?
Governor Walter E. Clark of Alaska
appt<ared before the House Committee
on Territories yesterday and empbat
ically reiterated his objections to tht
^ ranting of a elective territorial form
of government for Alaska
'If we can get legislation of the
| kind that ve want now to insure the
flevelopment of the country's rfsour
r-efi. the fuel resources, etc.. and reg
ulation of the transportation facilities
in the country there is no doubt but
that in the course of two or three
years territorial government will be
the proper thins for Alaska But due
to the added expense of the new
'orm of tro rem men t and other fca
'mres I beMcve for the present that
'he commission form of government
:s le?*s objectionable. '?
Governor Clark urged the coramit
'ee to make a trip to Alaska and to
-ee the country for themselves, stat
ic that after a visit and a thorough
xamination of that country If the
committee were still in favor of an
?Votive territorial government that
'?e would withdraw all objections and
would vield to their Judgement

The Canadian Pacific railway al
