Saturday October 20,1923.
Thursday the eigtheenth was the
fifty seventh anniversary of the hoisting
of the American flag at Sitka, and
also the end of all monarchistic rule
in the Territory of Alaska.
To commerate this Occasion Seattle
held an Alaska week. The movement
is instigated for the purpose of educat
ing the people that Alaska holds the
possibility of a great development in a
few more years. The Seattleites are
making a sincere effort to convince the
people Outside what the populace of
this country has known for the past
ten years.
Territorial papers were preaching a
doctrine of development when Seattle
was holding pageants of the gold dis
covery. It seems too bad that Seattle
has not been wise enough to adopt the
present educational campaign some
years ago, for it will undoubtedly stim
ulate interest in the territory and by
doing so will stimulate trade.
It would seem that with all the fire
works which are being set off this last
year about Alaska we should soon wit
ness a boom. At present the times
are somewhat slack in the territory; but
no one is starving. There are no bread
lines here, as in the states. This, then
would seem to be a prosperous
country, even though undevecoped. If
development will increase our prosperr
ty, let her come, says we. Undoubted
ly the Seattleites will benefit material
ly from any increased prosperity in the
North, but if they help the country,
they should receive part of the benefit
derived.
