As a result of personal observa
tion, there are more congressmen
interested in Alaskan legislation
than ever liefore, and they are dis
cussing with the President. Sena
tor Warren, of Wyoming, intimat
ed to-day that two things are likely
to have the sanction of the Presi
dent and the leaders of the house
and senate. They are, first, one
delegate from the territory to con
gress, and second, the formation of
a supreme court.
All other territories have such a :
tribunal and Warren Udieved the
administration of judicial affairs in
Alaska would he expedited by its
creation. Construction of suitable
roads will also probably lie author
ized.—Skatti.k Timks.
