he said that Alaska had more gold
than California and Colorado put to
gether ; more coal than Ohio, West
Virginia, and Pennsylvania; more
copper than Michigan, Montana, ard
Arizona; and then added. 'It has more
fish than the balance of the wor d
put together.' When some cf the
members of the committee laughe 1,
the Delegate went 011 to show that ,
the product of Alaskan fisheries. In- ,
eluding seal and aquatic fur-bearing
animals, down to 1?10 amounted to
ox-w J 1 93,000,000.
"Alaska has traditions She h:ts .
an interesting history. She la
wn gToat development, when ev0*y
handicap is considered. However,
the development of the past is as
nothing measured by what the future
is sure to bring, if we but afwvd
her the same treatment we have civ
en the other Territories in the years
gone by. Alaska is but in the morn
ing of her history; she is only in
the forenoon of her best days
"And if her future is to be all it
ought to be, then her people must j
have the ri^ht that every other Ter-j
