THE ALASkA FAIR
There is no longer any ijuestion but
lhat the Alaska-Yukoo-Paeiflc fmlr at
Seattle will tie a wonderful success
Approximately fTOO.tW of it* 'capital
stock has already been subscribed, a
directory consisting of the Tery ablest
business men of Seattle is behind it,
ami some of the moat successful fair
maunder- iu the west have its details
in charge.
What all this will mean to the north
is probably not half appreciated by the
people. It will serve to bring the re
source* of Alaska anil Yukon territory
and the opportunities for investment
and home building here to the atten
tion of million* thst would otherwise
remain in ignorance of them It will
brine excursionists to Alaska by the
thousands. It will bring an influx of I
money and people that will mean rapid |
ileveloptneni atul quick settlement.
A aska and Yukon are alreaily be
coming known to the capitalist* on
both ?ides of the Atlantic. It l? no
longer a dtfflc.i t la?? to ^et money to
develop a prospected mine In fact
hundreds of thousands are being in
vested annually in prospecting Kach
vear witnesses a greater increane in
the investment seeking capital that
tinds its way into the north. The fair
will come, therefore, at a time *hen
this section of tho continent will be on
the upgrade Kverything will br fav
usrtble for it to aiakr the desired im
pression. l-Yoiu ail sections of the
world there will t>e corroborative ev
donee of Alaska's greatness furnished
by ti vidend N?nificiartes always the
mwst enthusiastic, most competent and
most captivating witnesses.
The probabilities are. if it Joes
not co nee before that time, that the
A sska-Vukon*t*a:iSc fair will precipi
tate a boom ;n Alaska surpassing In its
n agoitude that which accompanied the
populating of South Africa. It is likely
to result in the "Slate of Alaska ?or
the Aiaskan states."
Not iu uiauy years has there been an
?* \ear political campaign in which
there has been a? ureat interert us is

^ac s . Nebraska, New Jersey, IV.a
ware and other states the people are at
a ?h.te heat over the issues of the dav.
in several of those states these issues are
very much compicated. What the re
sult of it all will be on the national con
gress it is dtifcult to predict. Hi w
e\ er. the chances are that the repub
l eans ? 11 remain ia control of the j

There was> a time when if the ailtnin

patent for diverting the public miod
