tials of any kind are necessary. Wouldn't

especially dentistry. I don't think any one coming here to prac-

laws on account of the injury done them by incompetents and
quacks, who have come to Alaska because thev could go now^here
else."
"Washington, D. C, January 9. 1912.
"There is no dental law for Alaska, and not any territorial
legislation to pass one. All you need to practise dentistry there
is the tools. Congress is supposed to pass laws for Alaska."
