The necessity lor rapid cominunic i
tion between Alaska and the outs d
world has been brought to the atten
tion of the San Francisco Chamb**: of
Commerce. Jt was point^l out that
while there are at the present tune
many wireless plants in Alaska, it is
very important that two mote stations
\u' added, viz:
One at N'tishajjak. ami the otlie? at
Bethel, on the Kuskokwim rivet.
The ordinary means of continue,
cation front these places is at t v
present time very slow and irreiruk *.
and it is felt that considerable advan
tatfe will accrue not only to the res.
dents of those places but to outsid* rs
oesinmr to send messages in.

V letter from Governor Riggs ot

cessity for providing adequate protec

i been brought to the attention of the

This communication requests in

vide in Alaska for the establishment
of a uniformed constabulary simitar

ary of lVnnsylvania or the Royal
Northwest mounted police. This force
would he federally controlled and ub

were held up by the blockade of tin

learned ot the death early in Jan*
, uary. though it occurred two months
before.
Fullerton left Silver City on Kluane
lake with a boat load of supplies
for Tom Dixon, who owns a ratten !
I at the foot of the lake. Dixon and j
his daughter left at the same time 1
on horseback over the trail for their
home. When they arrived at Cong
don Point they found Fullerton'a
b dv near the boat which ha 1
been pulled up on the shore enough
to hold it. He had apparently come
ashore wet and freezing, and, evi
dently, had perished during the nigh*,.
It was bitter cold, and a stiff breeze
had made the water of the Iukc
rough.
Fullerton had livtsi in the Kluan'
country evi r since the discovery of
placer gold there a dozen year ago
Hr held several placer claims, and
mined in the summer time and
trapped for fins in the winter time,
adding to his income occasionally
by boating on the lake.
