AMI THANKS TO WOODROW
With hli commission us govornor
cf tiio Territory of Alaska tucked
away snugly in his inside pocket.
Governor Strong Is now on bis way
to ussuwe tils duties In Juneau.
Alaska and Alaskans are to bo
courgatulatcd upon the selection of
an Alaskan to the foremost posi
tion In the territory. Tbat Gover
nor Strong, or ' Major Strong", as
we havo all known blm beat, Is with
out equivocation, a genuine sour
Cough Alaskan, goes without say
ing. He has fought for Alaska's
r'gbts during the past dozen years,
and In that fight he has hurled
mountains of printers ink at the tra
ducors of the district. He has used
rlvtrs of th sweet smelling liquid
in extolling tho virtues of the north
I.iik* and the glorious opportunity
thit a wails the intrepid Investor,
miner, prospect >r and home seeker.
He has not remained by the Joy
some firelight of a luxurious sulto
of apartments in some big hotel in
the states during the winter, but has
taken his chances with the other
sourdoughs in the winter rushes to
remote places in the unknown inter
ior and there taken his stand with
l tie leaders for the best interests of
the community and lived content in
his humble shack or mayhap tent,
?is the case might be. He has not
lollod indolently during the summer
in a hammock under the shade of
tr v.splunted trees, but hag battled
v.-lth streams swoolen by the waters
from meii'ng snow and glaciers, far
:i<vay fron> so-called civilization, and
has toiled all day for the sweet rest
