. GOVERNOR SAYS
SEATTLE, April 29 (Special to the
Daily Times).—Governor Thomas
Riggs, Jr., of Alaska, accompanied by
his wife and two children, arrived in
Seattle last week and sailed for their
Alaska home on the steamship Spo
kane. Governor Riggs was the guest
while in Seattle of the Chamber of
Commerce at a luncheon of the mem
bers’ council of the Chamber of Com
merce, and spoke at length on the
needs of Alaska and the results of his
# extended visit in Washington. He
said:
“Alaska now is more in the limelight
than at. any previous time in its his
tory, and the outlook for favorable
legislation is brighter than ever be
fore.”
While the congressional committees
gave him a favorable hearing and
showed more than usual interest in
territorial affairs, Governor Riggs has
little hope of his appropriation meas
ures being adopted at this session.
“I am ,sure,” he said, “that at the
next session there will be a deter
mined effort to enact remedial legis
lation.
X Uw V/ X*J \JXXKJ Will WUi-Wl VV/UQX vyww
creating a development board to have
the authority now vested in the vari
ous bureaus at the national capital.
^iis board would be composed of three
members whose homes must be in
^Alaska, and it would decide on the
spot all the many questions that now
go to Washington, 4,000 miles away,
for settlement. This is a wonderful,
progressive step, and means much to
the people of the North.
“I found that the forestry service
was willing to allow timber of Alaska
t.: be used for pulp under just terms.
This should be done. The regulations
of the oil-leasing bill now before con
gi*ess are such as to induce oil ex
ploration.” .
Governor Riggs paid a high compli
ment to the work for Alaska done in
Washington by the Alaska bureau of
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. He
said the largest appropriation asked
for Alaska is $7,000,000 for the con
tinuation of work on the railroad in
the territory. Another is for $220,000
for good roads. A million dollars is
asked to open the Matanuska coal
fields, that coal may be mined for the
^navy.
+ Governor Riggs asserted that if the
government would allow Alaska to
have the revenue from its forests,
mines, oil properties, coal beds and
farms it would not ask one cent in
appropriations. “We must abolish de
partment jurisdiction in Alaska,” he
declared, “and not be forced to await
the slow action of bureaus in Wash
ington. When such a change is made,
Alaska will go ahead by leaps and
bounds.
“The East has magnified the soviet
problem in Alaska. One night I was
called on the telephone in Washing
ton and told that the soviet was about
to sever relations with the United
States. But there will be no soviet
revolution in Alaska. We are too
much American up there, and that
♦form of anarchy can not live there.”

FIE PROBLEM
PASADENA, Cal., April 28 (by As
sociated Press).—Solution of the fuel
problems confronting America
through the use of electricity, will be
the dominating note of the conven
tion of the National Electric Light
Association, which will hold its an
nual session in this city from May 18
to 21.
Foremost among the questions that
the National Electric Light Associa
tion is endeavoring to work out are
electrification of steam railroads; the
inter-conn*ection of the lines of power
generating companies so that their
production capacity can be continual
iy kept at the maximum; the shift
ing of the electrical load so that ii
can be most scientifically and econom
ically devoted to meet the demands at
the time of the greatest requirement;
the development of the available hy
dro-electric energy as rapidly as con
struction can be financed, and the ap
plication of all modern methods J
toward making the generation of elec
tricity by steam, produce the highest
potentiality, for the amount of fuel
consumed.
Financing of the unprecedented re-!
quirements which conditions have
thrust upon the 5,500 electric generat
ing companies of America, brings the
banking interests of the country in
very close touch with the electric
men who will represent the National
Association at the convention here,
according to R. H. Ballard, president
of the association. He said today that
he expected a very large attendance
of bankers and their representatives.
He estimates that about 4,000 pro
minent financial and electrical men
will come to this city next month.
John B. Miller, head of one of the
largest electrical generating compan
ies of the west will be convention
chairman.

All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
