When BENJAMIN Franklin first
thought of starting newspaper in

Alaska has many grievances and has
suffered much from being underesti-
mated. The dimensions of the coun-
try are too vast for conception with
out the aid OF comparison, says the
St. Louis Globe-D Democrat. With its
area Of over 100000 square miles 1t is
larger than all that portion of the
United States lying east of the Missis-
sippi river and north Of Georgia and
the Carolinas, and twice as large as
the Oregon country, which now en-
braces the states Of Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and the principal part Of
Montana and Wyoming. The governor
in his office at Sitka is as far from the
western limit of his territory as he
is from PASSPORT, Me-, and the little
island of Attn is SO far west that II
counts its longitude east from Green
witch.
The length Of Alaska's coast line is
greater than the combined length OF
the Atlantic and the Pacific seaboards
During a portion of the year news

country. The people at Nome did not

Royal Events Next Year.

It is said that 1909 will witness not
only a splendid coronation, but also
kings marriage. Alfonso XIII. Of
Spain is already older than were many
of his ancestors when they assumed
the cares and responsibilities Of mat
rimony, and the fact that his elder
sister ian heiress), the princes Of
the Austrias, expects to present her
husband with prince or princess in
December makes the Spanish people
anxious to see their sovereign safely
married. The youthful kings choice
is limited to Roman Catholic prin-
cesses, but the kaiser, who seems to
have time for everything. is looking
out for a suitable wife for his young
"brother."
