.While the present congress
cannot be counted on tp pass
legislation advocated for Al
aska, the next congress will
in al probability enact laws
which will permit the Terri
tory to develop, Said J. T. M:
Pherson assistant to the pre
sident of the Chamber of
Commerce, at Seattle, speak
ing before the trustees of the
chamber Tuesday. McPher
son has just returned from
Washington, D. C., where he
held conferences on Alaska
and other matters in which
th? chamber is interested.
[ The present congress will
probably limit its activities,
as far as Alaska is concern
ed to appropriations for fed
eral activities and to a bill
permitting homestead en
tries on land now reserved
for coal. The law will reserve
all coal rights but will permi*

to numbers of homesteaders
who have settled in the Cook

was found that it would prob

complete the hearings before
the committee of both houses

secure action by both branch
es of congress.
Congressman Curry and
Senator Harry New of In1
diana, chairman of the sen

decided it was unadvisabt.

will have a changed person

gressman Curry intends to
begin the hearings as soon as
possible after the organiza
