A HAVEN OP PFACE
Those of ns. w ho. in these j
parlous times a**e safely stowed
away in Alaska, have much to
be thankful for.
We have no strikes and lock
outs to terrorize trade and de
press industries, we have no la
bor disputes, no reign of terror
as a result of the activities of
thutrs and trimmer, our women
and children are safe from mol
estation. predatory wealth has
no claim on our resources, we
have no pestilences nor epidem
ics. flood nor frost dismay us
none whatever, the old flour
barrel is full and the cupboard
groans wPh provender for the
year, boiled shirts and dickey
hats have no terrors for 11s, our
credit is good for a meal and
when it becomes it exhausted
willing friends and neighbors
give us of their goods to tide
us by.
Then3 are no poor in Alaska,
— of the kind of poverty that
gtunds and depresses and saps
the energy of the city dweller
and robs him of his st» engtn.
It is true we miss the shows
and streetcars, the crowds and
the clothes, the chicken and
champagne, the taxis and teas,
but our heart is at peace with
all the w n Id and our worries
are negligible.
We are in Alaska, of Alaska
and with Alaskans,
(Valdez Miner)
ABOUT ALASKA
From Burt McConnell’s article
in the New York Times, reprint
ed in the Pathfinder
In the future a prospector who|
has‘’struck it” will not have to
‘‘mush” with his dog team him
dreds of miles to the nearest
seaport., he oan ride in a mod
t rn Puliman from Fairba iks to
Seward in tliree day s.
he wont have lo ask lor
“a hundred dollars worth of
ham and eggs” lor there will be
placet be lore luin on the dining
car a menu on which he will find
printed such articles as these -
borne grown m Alaska- mount
ain trout, bacon, reindeer steak
sii loin steak, peas, beans, corn,
potatoes, radishes, celery, her
nes of all sorts,and bread made
from wneat grown in Alaska,the
flour made by one of the mills
in the Territory.
The sourdough may brush
his hands across his eyes, and
winder if it is *dl a dream, but
he will tind that Alaska is just
beginning to realize her oossi
bilities.
| Perhaps the Alaska wheat
which won the prize ai toinneap
(>lis over all other famous varie
! ties urged her to pav more atten
j tiei: to agriculture and less to
I gold mining, since the slump in
| that industry.

The country is idling up with

If President Hill of the Great
Northern would loan Secretary
Payne the colonization expert
who helped Colonize Waslnng
ton for ins father, Alask’s popu
lation would inci ease by leaps
aud bounds, for he would seek
homesteaders from among the
sturdy people who are not afraid
of a little cold weaiher—the
Swedes and Norwegians.
