Description	Title taken from verso. Verso: Fifty-five years of the history of Alaska's struggle toward self-government were recalled in Washington this week when Frank A. Waskey, right, called in 1906 as Alaska's first delegate in congress following enactment of the law which gave Alaska its first representation at the national capital. He served a short term in 1906-07. Still interested in governmental affairs at the age of 86, Waskey came to Washington to be honored at a luncheon arranged by Senator Gruening. Mr. and Mrs. Waskey now live at Olney, Maryland. As recently as 1957 the former delegate visited Alaska and paddled and poled a small boat along the arctic littoral collecting Eskimo artifacts.
