(Continued from tst'* One)
While Ketchikan is the first
town you come to—and it is
therefore the closest town to Con
tinental United States—it is not
by any means the most southerly
point of Alaska territory. Dutch
Harbor on the Aleutian Peninsula
--part, of Alaska—is over 100 miles
south of Ketchikan as well as 1.
500 miles west.
If we go another 1.000 miles
west to Attu Island, we find we
are still considerable south of
Ketchikan, although we are 2.500
miles west of that settlement. In
fact, Rat Island or some of the
others of the Aleutian group are
as much as 300 miles farther
south than Ketchika.
Rat and Attu Islands are so far
away from us they even have a
different day. When it is Sunday
wth us in the United States, it
is Saturday in parts of Alaska.
This huge Alaskan country has
378,000,000 acres of land, more
than 12 times the area of the
great Empire State of New York;
10 times the size of the proud
State of California, and 3 times
the size of France, which supports
a population of 65,000,000, while

; Alaska with all its wealth has a
j population of less than 65,000.
1 Most people thing of Alaska as
a land of ice and snow. We have
i one glacier called the Malispina,
which covers 1,500 square miles—
, roughly a little larger than the
State of Rhode Island. Yet with
all our wonderful glaciers we find
that less than 4 per cent of Alas
ka is covered with ice throughout
the year.
i An interesting table prepared by
the Geological Survey, shows the
area of Alaska is three times that
or Sweden- The European nations
1 Finland, two northern countries
; in Europe which it resembles. The
I population of Alaska is in no
s way comparable to that of these
countries, however.
Alaska has much larger areas
of agriculture land than either
| Finland or Sweden. The mineral
j resources of the Territory are far
1 greater than those of ths Europ
j an lands, while its water power
I is comparable with either that of
| Finland or Sweden.
Alaskan fisheries are far more
) extensive than those of Finland
or Swden. The European nations
have an advantage in communica
tions, as each has considerable
more miles of railroads and wagon
roads than Alaska.
Alaska has a population of only
about 0.1 person per square mile,
as compared with 19 for Finland
and 32 for Sweden. Alaska will, in
time, support a population of 10,
000,000, and have a population per
square mile at least as great as
that of Finland.
