But somehow the very name ia so, sug-
gestive of wintry wastes and arctic 81
lences, OF great ice-hoes and towering
icebergs floating upon lonely seas, that
even among persons of great informa-
ton 1t is only geographical expression,
bestowed upol an isolated domain, and
covering but little space upon the ex-
treme northwest portion OF the maps OF
North America. without any regard to
the scale by which the other States and
Territories are -delineated.
In reality it is a colossal domain,
nearly as large as all of the United
States lying east OF the Mississippi
River, or three times as large as France.
So vast is 1t, so varied its climate, its pro-
auctions, and its native people, that the
description of portions OF IL as COM
pared with others is Ike telling OF coun-
tries widely separated. Here is giant
territory belonging to the United States,
extending more than 1,tO9 miles from
north to south, whose area embraces
nearly ZOO square miles, whose
coast lire, washed by the waters of the
Pacific Ocean, stretches from latitude
Sd degrees 40 minutes to Point Barrow
in the Arctic, which holds within its
boundaries probably the mightiest river
in the world, fer 1t is entirely within the
bounds OF honest statement TO y that
the Yukon River, the vast deltoid mouth
of which opens into Norton Sound OF
Behring Sea, discharges every hour one
third more water than the Mississippi.
Also Mount ST. Elias, whose estimated
altitude, Is, 500 feet, makes it the mon
arch of all mountains on this continent.
yitus Behring was native OF Den
mark, who entered as a Captain the
newly formed navy of Peter the Great.
His known ability and daring displayed
In the wars with Sweden led 10 his be-

discovery in tn Sea Of kamchatka. He
crossed the continent from st. Peters
burg to Kamchatka, where he superin-

which was named the GABRIEL. In July,
1928, he sailed in this vessel to the
north and east, discovering the Island
of st. Lawrence, which he named in
honor of the saint ON whose day it was

until he reached what he supposed

The trade has since been pursued with
vigor, especially in the vicinity of the
Prybilov Islands. The sea continued
