check up on the gold output for
1937 we find that it has been in
creased more than one-third over
the amount taken out last year.
And this estimate is nearly a
month old, and gold mining still
in full swing.
Men of vision have brought de
velopment to Alaska, But prob
ably the greatest man of them all
was William H Seward, then Sec
retary of State, who was instru
mental n bringing about the pur
chase of this Territory, and for
whom Seward Peninsula was
, named.
In the foreword of a recently
published book, received by the
editor of the Nome Daily Nugget,
titled: “The Annexation of Rus
sian America to the United Sta
tes” by Victor J. Farrar, is con
tained these words:
“Standing here and looking far
off into the northwest, I see the
Russian as he busily occupies
himself in establishing seaports
and towns and fortifications, on
the verge of this continent as the
outposts of St. Petersburg, and I
can say,‘Go on. and build up your
outposts all along the coast up
even to the Arctic Ocean—they
will yet become the outposts of
my own country—monuments of
the civilization of the United Sta
tes in the Northwest.’ ”
—Wm. IT Reward.
FOREWORD
“Prior to 1937 practically all
our knowledge of the Russian
sources relating to the purchase
negotiatons was derived from the
wrtings of Professor Frank A.
Golder. In 1914, Professor Golder
was sent to Russia by the Depart
ment of Historical Research of
the Carnegie Institution of Wash
ington for the purpose of making
available to students any material
relating to the history of the Un
ited States which might be found
in the Russian archives.
“While in Russia Professor
Golder was permitted to exam
ine those documents pertaining to
the purchase negotiations, and
thus to procure the material for
his article entitled: The Pur
chase of Alaska’ which appeared
in the American Historical Re
view for April 1920. In view of
the fact that the Russian sources
were not then generally available
students were obliged to fall back
upon this article when preparing!
their accounts of the Purchase of
Alaska.
“The Russian documents are in
Russian and French. A brief de
scription of them is contained in
the section on bibliography. In
the case of statements based up
on these sources, I have adopted
for the most part the wording of
the translations of those sources.
This has been done in oder to
insure as accurate as possible a
presentation of the sources in
question. Quotation marks are
not used in these instances, hflw

Guffey May Choose

Pennsylvania
(Continued From Page One)
n a political eon. Already these
Democrats point to him as their
main and only hope for governor
in 1938, the men who can prevent
grass growing in the streets on
which Democrats live.
The margin of Democratic su
premacy in Pennsylvania is too
narrow for placid comfort. Other
wise Guffey might be content to
run the gauntlet of prejudice
with Lawrence. j
He Hates to Leave
The senate is a grand place to
work, and Guffey reputedly hates
to think of leaving. It may be
he won’t have to. His present
term continues to 1941; so if he is
defeated for governor, he can go
right on being senator.
Several little side issues depend
upon his decision. If Guffey is
elected governor, who will he ap
point to finish out his senatorial
term? Despite his friction with
Guffev.the appointment might be
promised to Earle to keep him
from kicking over the traces in
troublesome 1938.
Earle has already established
his nuisance value. For instance
he triad to suppress talk that he
was gunning for the Presidency
in 1940 by announcing that he
was for President Roosevelt for a
third term. That was away ahead
of the time the “right people"
would want such a thing mention
ed, even if they had in mind to
mention it at all. It proved Earle
could cause embarrassment.
Than, too, somebody will get
the nice juob of running for the
place of Senator James J. Davis,
republican in 1938. Lieut Gov.
Kennedy is most frequently men
tioned for that now.
Of course. Pennsylvania has a
primary,but don’t be fooled, Guf
fey is the party who decides who
will be on the “inside” ticket.
