He found the .various departments of the government doing exactly the same kinds of work in Alaska that they are doing , in the 48 states. . His speech on Alaska, (made at his last formal, appear ance before the public at Seattle on July 27) was a vigorous pres entation of detaite opinions, based on accurate knowledge and Inves tigation at f irst hand and it ought to put an end once and for all to the agitation which has been so hurtful to Alaska." ! ging was In progress.
