In his address to the people of
this city, delivered at the park on
Monday, President Harding pledged
"from this day on. my official and
personal interest in the solution of
Alaskan problems." He qualified the
statement with the declaration that
while he was sure the Territory
would come into the fullest devel
| opment, its citizens should not think
that the Government can do it for
them. ‘•Whatever the . Government
may do,” he said, “after all, I
would rather trust Alaska's develop
ment to your sons and daughters.
1 have every confidence they will
work out your problems with what
ever help the Government may
give.” The President said he was
now a real sourdough, adding that
he was entitled to the designation
because he was the first President
to visit the Territory. The President
said the impression of real peopie
of the States that Alaska is the
home of adventures, wild men and
sometimes roughnecks, had been en
tirely dissipated in his mind. He is
convinced now, he said that Alaska
is a homeland of Americans.
Billy Leake, a well known Klon
diker. who made a big stake in that
country, is now in the oil business
in Mexico.
