measures brought forward for the
needs and relief of the territory.

Officer Ends Long Trip
A few details of one of the longest
trips ever taken by a government offi
cer in Alaska in the discharge of his
duty have been received by Col. R. E.
| Thompson of the government office
here in charge of the Alaska signal
service from Capt. Hanson B. Black,
of Valdez, in charge of the first and
second districts in Alaska. Capt.

a veteran “musher.”—Seattle Times.
