TAKE NOTICE OF ALASKA.
Though the constitution seems not
to have followed the flag to Alaska
public attention has followed tho
rauckrakers. and Alaska is getting
more advertising than ever in its his
tory. This time it is the kind that
will result in permanent good because
the United States is learning that
Alaska contains something besides
placer gold, salmon, ioe and snow,
nays the Valdez Prospector.
Much of tho Information dispensed
*aa been inaccurate and much of it
has been misinformation. The muck
rakers have hit no facts except that
Alaska has the greatest coal deposits
in the country outside of Pennsylva
nia. and perhaps greater than that
-.tate contains. But muckrakers have
started the metropolitan newspapers
U digging into government reports
made by men who have been on the
ground and the news and editorial
writers have learned that Alaska has
not only mineral resources and fisher
:es of fabulous value but agricultural
possibilities as well, and that its cli
mate is no colder than that of the
northern states. Some of them have
thrown away the cut of a polar bear
sliding down a glacier into tho sea.
which they have been running occa
sionally as a typical Alaska scene.
It is true, as the corporation agen-ts
reiterate, that Alaska's white popu
lation has not increased greatly dur
ing the decade now closing, and the
federal census will show it, but the
population of the territory outside of
placer camps will show a percentage
of Increase greater than any state
The placer camp population has de
clined because no new bonanza
ramps have been discovered in the
past half a dozen years while the old
ones are declining, but the southern
coast and the coal and copper dis
tricts have Just begun to be peopled.
Watch these districts' grow during the
r.ext ten years with the newspapers
and magazines of the land advertising
them free of charge.
ALASKA AND INDIA.
European* twit the American peo
ple us a nation because, they say.
Americans lack the fine sensibility
which prefers qualtty to quantity. To
the Americans, bigness is the quality
of first importance. We boast of
<mr big country, rather than a coun
try tilled neatly and without waste;
of big cities, with huge buildings,
making little pretense to please the
artistic eye; of immense fortunes,
such as the world has never known
before, and often squandered in a
way as un para lied as it is pa
thetic. It may have been with some
*uch feeling as this that the. federal
government has devoted so much
time and money and careful thought
to seven million Filipinos, while it
has practically neglected 40.000 white
Americans in Alaska.
The Alaskan is the last person on
earth to be a pessimist; but he can
not help looking about and observing
things that happen elsewhere. The
case of the Filipinos, with their own
assembly to make their local laws
i? too far off to invite comparison.
India, despite the weekly report of
assassination, is progressing more
rapidly than Alaska is. It is not un
fair to look upon the British rule in
India as the rule of a handful of con- !
querors imposed upon a submissive,
but by no means reconciled popula
tion. Yet at the present time the na
tives are given an absolute majority
in the provincial councils; and in <
the ruling council above all, the rep- .
resontatives of the subject popula
tion arc being admitted to the inner
most circles. Compared with this
all Alaska enjoys part in her own
legislation to the extent of one vote
less and almost speechless Jelenatw.
