ALASKA
There is, perhaps, on this wh
ole Earth no one piece of territory
with a greater future or greater
promise than our own ‘little corn
er’—Alaska.
Up to the present time the
wealth taken from the Territory
is a mere atom compared with the
wealth still lying undeveloped
The enormous natural resources
of the country are, as yet. scare
ely tapped and an immense store
of wealth still lies in its bosom
while towering mountains and
raging rivers guard jealously the
secret of its existence until intre
pid man shall come to wrest from
them the boarded treasure.
In spite of ov.,r one third of a
century of searching through its
fastnesses; in spite of the hordes
of men who have roamed over its
mountains and through its valleys
Alaska remains today the same
rugged, old land of mystery and
silence; still hostile to those who
steal her bounty and go away;
still dealing death and destruct
ion to the unwary but nourishing
and keeping those who underst
and her and who live in sympathy
with her eternal spaces. She sta
lids today, as of old, with a silent
longing, a longing for those who
will come, discover her store of
wealth and return it to her again.
These will she love and to them
unfold her secrets.
No place on Earth offers the
opportunity to youth and man
hood to start clean on the road to
success as does Alaska; no place
is so reeking with temptation to
lure the weak mind to destruct
ion. It is cruel and inflexible. Th
ere are no halfway measures
There are two classes of peo
pie working out the destiny of
our country. One is the Pioneer,
in spirit if not in years, who cur
ses but loves her. who, though
unaware of it, is giving his best
to the country. Then there is the
other class--those whose sole pu
rpose is to prey on all ;ind sur.d
ry under the guise of friendship,
and finally, when his ill gotten j
gains have mounted to satisfying;
proportions, to go away and spe
nd elsewhere the profits and for
get his debt to the country.
When a happy medium i<
strucK; when the predominant
class consists of men whose vis
ion beyond the end of the nose
is not so hazy; who will help inst
ead of exploit their fellow-men
THEN will Alaska cease to be the
“Frozen North” and become a
land of golden prosperity, justify
ing the faith of those who love
her.
