Carl M. Johanson, graml arctic keep
er of nuggets of the Arctic Brotherhood,
is in the city acting as special agent of
the building committee of the Alaska
Yukon exposition, working in behalf of
the Arctic Brotherhood building *t
thtt srreat show. The Arctic Brother
hood building will be the building of
Alaska and of the Yukon, the only
build i either or both will b? ex
pee. ! "o 'mild there to represent them.
It wjil be to these great empires what
the state buildings will be to the sev
eral states erecting them. As the ex
position is especially designed to pres
ent the attractions of thes-. countries
before prospective investors and tour
ists it is particularly fitting that they
make a representative showiug. The
building is to stand as a permanent ad
vertiseraejt of the north country, and
will be cared for and made to serve that
purpose by the University of Washing
ton. In an interview with the Alaskan
this morning Mr. Johanson presented
in brief a convincing argument as to
v;hy the Arctic Brotherhood and all
the north country should interest itself,
and bring to an effective conclusion this
business of providing a creditable rep
resentation at the big ?how. The Alas
kan presents this argument in this
column as representing also its own
views.
ORDERED BY 6RAN0 CAMP
'*At the last two annual sessions of
the grand camp of the Arctic Brother
hood it was unanimously voted to erect
an Arctic Brotherhood building at the
fair. A building committee was ap
pointed which hiisgoae so far alraady as
to have drawn the pians and specifica
tions of the building, and some of the
money has already been subscribed.
This buiding, while it is named the
Arctic Brotherhood Building, will be a."
much a building of Alaska and the Yu
kon territory as the s ate buildings of
Oregon or Idaho, .California and Mont
ana. are to those particular states.
"The principal tenets of the Arctic
Brotbe ho; d Is that so far as it is con
cerned, there is no boundary line, and
that idea will be strictly carried out
w *.h regard to the building, so that it
will be ahorr" of all the people of Alas
ka and Yukon territory whether tney
belong > t o brotherhood or oo'. The
building * H be modern in every re
spec:. It will contain writing, reading
hO'1 smoking rooim, accommodations
for ludies as well a? men, ga'leries for
exhibits ard a large ball for lec ures,
etc., m inch lull will also be used for
exhibits of the Northland, containing
nrt, education, agriculture, mineral ex
hibits. photographs and scenic views.

THREE MILLION VISITORS
"We figure that there will te about
000, 000 people attending this fair from
ill parts of tbo country? people who
ire interested in Alaska acd Yukon?
who are easier to learn something about
the country.
"The tourist will be interested in the
pictures and photographs of the scenio
beauty which, if properly shown, which
they will be, will equal anything that
san be seeo among the Gords of Norway
or the mountains of Switzerland The
official photographer for the A. Y. P.
E., Mr. Nowell, will spend bis summer
In Alaska and will do nothing else but
take. pictures for this special purpose,
acd in order to get the tourist to travel
through this country you must adver
tise and show him the beauty of the
northern scenery. To get opital for
investment to develop your mines you
must set the capitalist interested and
show him your minerals, your gold
dust and your ore?; and where can you
get a better bureau of publicity than to
exhibit your resources like other states,
territories and foreign countries, in a
place wberc several million people
come for the purpose of seeing and
learning about what you have to shor.
And I am sure that of all the exhibits
from states aod foreign countries none
can be made more interesting or in
structive thau that which wi 1 be ex
hibited from Alaska and Yukon terri
tory.
MONUMENT 10 BROTKERHOOD
"There could be no organization
more suitable to promote this enterprise
than the Arctic Brotherhood. The
representative men of tho north are
members of our organization.' Kach
camp will be an important factor in
collecting and gathering exhibits from
every oectioj of Alaska and Yuicon, and
we have 22 camps whose aid has been
called for.
"A strict record will be kept of every
man who contributes to this fund, and
his name icscribed on a memorial tab
let as one of the doners that made the
building pos-ible. This building will,
be under the control of the Arctic
Brotherhood for the use of Alaska and
Yukon territory people during the fair,
and after that turutd over to the State
University which will maintain it open
to the public permanently free of
charge to the Arctic Brotherhood and
such exhibits as was given outright
will be kep: and used as a nucleus for a
museum of the exhibits of the North
laod? which tnay he added to from
time to time and become a source of a
standing advertisement of the north
land, and of great historical value.
Now Alaska and YuKon people c<n
raaice this building possible without^
any great sacrifice and have a monu
ment at tbe fair and for future times
that will bo worthy tLost rllni men that
Inhabit and Jare developing a territory
that even you wbo are living here and
and are doing tbe work can not realize
the possibilities of, and I believe that
the small or large sum that each of you
subscribe will come back to you not
only a* a good investment but as a
s?t sfactlon of seeing Alaska and Yukon
Territory properly represented.
MEW YORK'S ENDORSEMENT
The following is from the republican
platform as adopted by i.be republican
party of the stale of New York at the
present national campaign:
"We indorse the great administration
of President Roosevelt and are proud
that he is a republican from New York.
His noble work bas exemplified tbe
principles of equality upon which this
government was founded and has pres
ented a record of achievements which
give to him for all time preeminence
among the benefactors of the nation.
Llis fearless and patriotic treatment of
all questions involving our foreign re
lations ban maintained ani^ increased
the respect for the American flag
throughout tbe world.
MEMORY'S GHOST
By Lurana W- Sheldon
Strange apparition of a vagrant hour.
Thou comest as a mist from o'er tho
sea
Dim fashioned? gliding silently,
To burst the bud of memory into flower.
Some passing soul has given thee for
dower
A cunning hand with which to touch
the heart?
Thrilling afresh the life-blood with thy
power
Till wounds, forgotten, with now an
guish smart.
Thou hast no season? neither night nor
day
Can speak thine absence, truly, from
our side;
At any step along our fleeting way
The mocking shadows of thy presence
glide.
Face unto face, vre mutely stand and
gaz*,
Kno-vinjr thee well? thou ghost of by
go?e days.
