English: Verso caption: WALTER E. CLARK, Governor of Alaska, Who Urges Aids to Navigation, Appropriations for Roads and Educational Purposes, Amendments to Game Laws and Other Needful Legislation for Alaskan Interests". A century-plus later, this may need explaining. At the time, Clark was governor of the District of Alaska, and as such worked underneath the U.S. Secretary of the Interior and had little power beyond lobbying the secretary and Congress to take appropriate actions to benefit the district.
