 WILL AID US
lContinued from Page II

Let me tell you exactly how l mean lit. In the case of mine, you get metal out of the earth. You cannot leave any metal there to reproduce itself. In the case of salmon fisheries, if we are wise, | if you are wise, you will insist upon It's lbeing carried on under conditions which will make salmon fisheries as profitable in those rivers 30 years hence as now. Don't take all the salmon out and go away and leave empty rivera to your children. Take it out under conditions such as. land mind you the conditions are ready to be carried out for you by the national fish commission which has been so sing ularly successful in its Works) under such conditions, say, which will secure the preservation Ot those rivers as salmon rivers; which will secure per petuatiou Of the salmon canneries along their banks So that it will not be an industry carried on by imported Ori sntals in the employ of three or four alien capitalists. think you sec l un- derstand some of the conditions, but see that it Is carried on iu such a way as to be a perpetual source of income to actual settlers and residents of the To- cality.
 Now. is that common seuse way to 20 at the situation? Exactly. Just 10 the same way l want tO have you see che timber industry Is exploited. In way which, while giving great returns Co those engaged at the moment, shall also secure the preservation of the for ests for settlers and settlers children that are to come. And hence wish to see such land laws enacted aud to see them administered SO as to be in the interest ot the actual settler who goes to Alaska to live, who desires there to produce crops. raise stock, and make a home for hiTself
 Subject To the condition of shaping Che legislation in the interest of the actual homeseeker, who is making a home for himself and future genera tions subject Co that condition, de- sire Co see legislation shaped in a spirit Co every liberty that will secure the quickest possible development of the resources Of Alaska, and with that end tn view Co have an the encouragement possible given those seeking to estab- fish by steamship line and by railway quick and efficient transportation fseil' ities.
 In the territories believe in the pi' ! |oneers. even when he is well dressed a, the pioneers I am now addressing recouect, by the way, recently speak ing to an Arctic explorer who had come across Siberia. He told me oi the immense hardships he had as he worked across the Asiatic provinces oi . Russia. and with what infinite labor and immense periods of starvation he finally got Co the waters which separat' ed Asia from America and the Ameri' can possessions within the Arctic where he at once found himself in a summer hotel, where, on account oi the deficiency in civilized clothing, he was not allowed to dine at the frs] table.
 Few things have been more typical of our people, and few things have been that will promise more for the future than the way in which the re- sources Of Alaska have been devel' oped. And when one sees what has been done there during the last few wears, think we have just cause Co feel abundantly justified in the belief that the quality of the old-time pio- neers who entered the wooden wilder ness between the Allegheny mountains and the Mississippi river, and then steered their way across the vast seas ot grass from the Mississippi to the 1. Rockies. who penetrated passes of the barren mountains, and then came to this greatest Of all oceans that their qualities still survive in their grand sons and successors. Nor must we for get in speaking Of Alaska the immense importance that territory has from the standpoint ot the needs of the nation as a whole, as the dominant power in the Pacific. Exactly as was the build ing of the iSthmian canal, SO the pos session and the peopling of the Alas kan sea coast puts us in position to dominate as regards the Pacific, which no other nation shares on our shores.
