with view OF settling upon the
best tracts OF it large colonies OF
Russian Fins and other foreigners.
This whole scheme is Il money
making proposition by corpora

on solely for profit by a concern
that has its headquarters in New
York.
While this company, in many in
stances. betters the condition of the
people whom they COLOMBO in diff
ferent parts OF the new world, and
while we know that they would
better the condition OF those whom
they would bring here by settling
them upon the fertile lands OF
Cook inlet and the Copper river
valley, where they could have COM
Portable homes and good farms,
yet they do not bring them to this
country for the love OF the people,
or the good they may do the coun-
try upon which they settle them,
but merely for the money they
can make out of the proposition.
Therefore they do not care what
class "f people they bring. The
man who has the money to put up
for his passage and the other ex-
penses is brought and established
in Il free country.
This corporation has large cap.
ital, and ii the land laws are not
extended to Alaska very soon so
that the public may be able to take
up homcsteads, this corporation
will script large tracts OF the best
