President Roosevelt provides Secretary of War Taft with a report concerning the conditions in Alaska he received in which William Alonzo Day supports cheap telegraphic service between Alaska and the United States in order to aid commerce and connect Alaska more closely with the rest of the United States. Roosevelt approves of this suggestion, and asks Taft to make a “proper order” to put it into effect. He asks that Taft submit it to him before promulgating it.
