WATCH ALASKA GROW.
If Alaska grows in the next thir
teen years as it has Jn the past
what a development there ? ill sure
Those who w r< in Skagway thir
teen years ago remember the first
Nj on? th- :i k: w where Nome was
a. id the Yukon River below Circle
plmost carried the same impression
to the ordinary mind as the myster
u us Styx. Alaska then was Skag
?ay, Juneau. Dyea. Cir> le. Sitka and
Unalaska with Wrangoll and Ketchi
kan thrown in for good measure.
On the other side there was Daw
son and Atlin was in its infancy
Many people were then calling Atlin
a fake and Non a dream.
Fairbanks. Mitarod. Seward, Yaldez
Coidova. Katalla, and all the terri
tories their names s'and for were
>?t practically unborn. Even Al
askans spoke ot the Copper River as
children speak of the infernal re
gions.
Thirteen years are not many. Yet
in that time the awful White Pass
and the Co?p> r River country have
been conquered while 1 alf a dozen
ether railroads have been built in
The TreaJwell 'he only mine
then. How many will there be five
ytars hence?
Yaldez was only a jumping off
station for Fairbanks: today it has
a mine itself which will produce rnor
thin all the placers ot" the Tanana.
N< ver was there a stronger proof of
the theory that production follows
population.
Had there *?een no Dawson there
would ha\e been no Atlin. nc Skag
way. no Nome, so it is safe to infer
t!_a' if one discovery can create so
n: any places these places in turn may
each create as many more.
But the best feature f discoveries
ts that each brings people to local
ities where they settle and prospect.
Dawson is he parent of Atlin. Al
bt Is. Carcross and Whitehorse mines,
the Engineer group and hosts of
others. Non. is the parent of Can
dle, Squirrel River, Gold Run, Tin
City and the rest. So it is with
Fairbanks and all the others; each
discovery has had a big family, and
w.iue members of the family are
bard rock ones that will last infinite
' longer than the parents.
As a matter of fact, to follow up
the simile, Alaska is now like a
bunch of young couples waiting for
Uk kids to get over the teething,
k eking and bawUng period and play
bail.
The young ta nips are now merely
in the initial period of development.
There is a great day ahead for theiu
ail.
PINCHOT ON ALASKA COAL
In a speech recently delivered in
New York Uittord Pinchot thus ex
pressed his opinion on Alaska coal
lauds :
"When great natural resources arc
legitimately needed, then they should
be used, and this government is re
sponsible. 4>oLh by the passage of un
wise laws and the refusal to make
good ones, for tying up great resour
ces of coal in Alaska. There is
every reason why the coal in the
Matanuska and the Katalla fields,
in the latter cf which the Cunning
bam claims are located, should be
made available for the people of Al
aska and of the whole Pacific Coast
under a system at once fair to the
public and the coal operators.
' The only practicable plan by
?*h<ch this can be accomplished is
fcr the I'nited States to retain title
to the land and lease the right to
mine on a royalty of so much a ton.
While coal claims in Alaska are num
erous and while companies are ready
to mine where transportation is or
is about to be available the produc
t n of coal in that territory up to
the present is altogether negligible in
amount. With the exception of a
mine or two at tidewater the coal
Tvinains untouched there.

' Much of the coal land, however,
is already covered by claims made
tt fore the withdrawals ordered by
President Roosevelt in 1906. It is
piobable that by far the greater part
of these claims are fraudulent, and
if the government does its duty, such
claims will be canceled. Then there
u be offered the first great chan-ce
'he people of this country have had
.si ace the Pennsylvania coal fields
passed into private ownership to con
trol the development of high-grade
c< s.s in the public interest, to pre
vent. waste by wise regulation of min
ing. aud prohibit extortion by putting
limitations on the price ? in general
to make proof in this country of
what is being so clearly proved in
Germany and elsewhere that the sup
ply of fuel, which controls the sup
r'y of power, which is the fundamen
ts? necessity of civilization, ought al
ways to remain in the hands of all
;he people and never to pass to the
l.a.'ds of priva'e owners."
1* is human nature to exaggerate
the value of things beyond our reach.
l\ople save money for years in or
d to go to Europe to visit the great
;vt centers and see the famous mas
terpieces. when they really never
saw the marvelous pictures painted
by the Divine Artist and spread in
the landscape, in the sunset, in the
clory of flowers and plant life, right
I at their very doors.
That is a good scheme to make
passengers go to Seattle doctors to
buy a vaccination certificate to
a\oid the operation. The Seattle
spirit is willing and the flesh (on
a passenger's arnii is weak.
A mine located thirteen years ago
:icar Skagwav lias been re-located
and will be developed. May it be
U-tky in spite ui '-lie tliirtivn.
