THE A-Y-P STAMPS.
No sooner had the announcement
been made that Postmaster General
Hitchcock had approved the official
A-Y-P exposition stamps that ob
jections were wired froni several
parts of Alaska, protesting against th
use of these stamps on the grounds ?
that they give a false impression of
Alaska.
The stamps show a fur seal stand- 1
ing by a cake of Ice, a cold and bar '
ren scene well designed to give
weight to the already prevalent idea
that Alaska is a country of ice and
snow and little else.
The objections to the use of this;
stamp on the pan of Alaskans arej
well taken. The men at the head of
the A-Y-P exposition are peculiarly
fatuous to have suggested or accept
ed such a design.
Ever since 1S'.?S when exaggerated
tales were told about Alaska's climate
by disgruntled gold seekers, this
country has had to contend with the)
false and hurtful belief general in |
the states that it is a dreary Arctic
waste. By slow degrees the truth is
being dissemenated. The design of)
the A-Y-P stamps will certainly in
aonte measure Kive these impressions
renewed life.
L. A. Harrison deserves great cre-|
dit for the manner in which he has;
conducted the negotiations which led
to the contract between the Home!
Power company and the White Pass'
aid Yukon. Mr. Harrison also wasj
successful in raising capital to fin
ance the necessary improvements.
Skagway has room for more men of 1
his stamp.
