THE PASSING OF THE WILDER
NESS
The note of prosperity that came
from every portion of .A'i?ka and the
British Yukon at the opening of spring
grows stronger as the months jo anil
spring merges to midsummer. Trav
elers who come from the interior, men
who observe and have opportunities to
learn, are all of accord in the declara
tion that the great wilderness of a few
years ago is soon to become a great
commonwealth or commonwealths of a
proud and prosperous people: the scene
of the development of vast industries
anil populous and permanent cities.
There is no doubt of that. Alaska
at Washington, and Y ukon at Ottawa
are making great headway toward com
into their own at the hands of those
who have it in their power to grant or
with hold. That is to say, the great
north country is coming to be better
understood its worth and its possibil
ities. Of the two geographical divis
ions Yukon has received more consider
ation than Alaska, but this is the result
of an earlier "discovery" caused- by
the Klondike.
This is especially so in the matter of
roads. From the days of Governor
Ogilvie, the Canadian government has
been liberal in the matter of roads and
what were almost impassible trail to
the mines have grown into fust-class
highways of which the Klondikers are
proud.

But with necessity made plain by the
Tanaua, Washington has not been lag
gard in the matter. On the contrary,
the road question has been taken up in
a broad, comprehensive fashion, looking
not to a mere connection between
market anil mine but to the speedy de
velopment of the whole vast territory.
So we see Major Richardson at the
head of not one but a bunch of sur
veying parties, marking out lines from
the south coast across the vast stretch
of wilderness to the north Bering sea,
preparatory first to trails, and roads
with an ultimate probability of the
laying of rails. It is an inspiring
spectacle at its inception ? inspiring to
the Alaskan because of the confidence
he feels ihat this splendid undertaking
is not a mere dream, or the confidence
play of a stock jobber, but that it really
means just what it appears to mean? a
great, artery, a life developing
artery that in rapid course will elim
limin'ate the word "wilderness'- from
the lexicon of Alaska.
The geographicil board at Washing
ton fixes Alaska names to suit itself re
gardless of the wishes of Alaskans or
the eternal fitness and poetry of things.
A few years ago it named several
mountains and glaciers of Central
Alaska for a bunch of Ohio politicians.
