WILL VISIT ALASKA.
It is announced, as the result of
the receut publicity given Alaska,
that a considerable number of mem
bers of congress have decided to visit
that territory the coming summer,
during the recess in congress, in or
der that they may acquire some
knowledge of the great territory, its
resources and its requirements, at
first hand. The more members of
congress who do visit the territory,
the better it will be for the people of
Alaska. Indeed, the people of that
territory have serious reasons to re
gret that the programme of Presi
dent Taft was changed last year and
that he was obliged to omit the trip
to Alaska, which he had originally
contemplated.
world. It Is really impossible for the
With the best intentions In the
average member of congress to ob
tain any accurate knowledge of
Alaska, particularly of its people,
save by visiting the territory an
coming into contact with the inhab
itants and viewing the country itself.
At that, a summer trip to Alaska
gives but a hint of what the country
really is, but it serves to correct a
whole array of previous misconcep
tions.
The warmest friends of Alaska on
the floor of either house of congress
are the men who have visited the ter
ritory. Even a summer excursion
trip taken to Southeastern Alaska
has given something to go on and
has served to awaken a strong in
terest in all Alaskan matters.
If a few dozen of the members of
both houses should visit Alaska the
coming summer, and if President
Taft could be persuaded into taking
a trip there himself, Alaska will fare
better at the hands of congress In
the future. ? Seattle P. I.
THERE'S SOMETHING ROTTEN IN
DENMARK.
That there is something rotten in
the territory of Alaska is the opinion
expressed by the Omaha World-Her
ald. The World-Herald says: "The
slimy trail of that rottenness covers
all the thousands of miles that lie be
tween the rich coal fields of Alaska
and the interior department at Wash
ington. Every few days there is a
fresh development going to show that
Congressman Hitchcock's original res
olution, calling for a congressional
investigation of the interior depart
ment's administration of Alaskan
affairs, went straight to the mark.
And the nearer the congressional com
mittee comes to confining its inquiries
to what has been happening in Alas
ka. and what is now happening there,
the better it will serve the purpose
for which it was created. The offer
made in writing by John E. Ballaine,
to the senate committee on territories
is absolutely astounding both in what
it discloses and in the possibilities
it suggests. The scheme which is now
on foot, and which only the investiga
tion and the publicity attending it ca
defeat. Is for the government to lease
or sell the Alaska coal fields at $10
an acre. Mr. Ballaine now offers in
stead, to pay a royalty to the govern
ment of 50 cents a ton for 5.000 acres
of such coal land. He offers to file a
bond of $1,000,000 to insure his ful
fillment of the contract. The royalty
he estimates, basing the estimate on
reports of the United States geologi
cal survey, would run as high as $2
000,000 for 5,000 acres! Contrast this
with the $50,000 the government
would realize out of the sale or lease
of 5,000 acres in tho manner proposed
by the Guggenheim Interests. This
speaks for Itself."

greatest help in training a child and
