THE RESOURCES lOE ALASKA

It is estimated that there is room and occupation for 10,000.O00 people in Alaska, and that the time will come when that number will be living in the great northwestern possession. Alaska is almost one-half larger than the thirteen original American col Ionies, very nearly twice the size of California. Oregon and Washington, as large as Great Britain, Denmark. Sweden, Norway and the German em- pire and with better climate and greater natural resources than au equal area of northern Europe sup porting 10000 900 inhabitants. This land, SO rich, so fertile. has a sea coast of 2S.000 miles, everywhere ac- cessible. The Yukon. the fourth larg- est river in the world. navigable for more than 1000 miles above it's mouth, and running in a great semi-circle from southeastern to northwestern Alaska, forms a natural highway.

PRESIDENTS VISIT.


 After what President Roosevelt said to the people of New Mexico concern ing statehood for that territory the people of Arizona were not disappoint- ed with his silence as to what Ar.zona might expect from him and his admir- istration in the matter of their claim to the right of self-government. Mir Roosevelt indulged in deserved praise of the Rough Rider boys for their gal lantry during the Cuban campaign and aroused enthusiasm when he men toned the name of Bucky O'Neil, but he had nothing to say about what had been accomplished in Arizona by the hardy pioneers. Had he recounted the struggles of the pioneers and the wonderful accomplishments of the en- ergy and determination displayed by them and those who came early to their assistance in the reclamation of this territory, first from the savage Indians and then from its desert state, he could not have well withheld such a commendation that would have been conclusive to all who heard it, or read it, that such people was deserving every right of liberty in government which could be conferred unde: the American constitution.
 The President jollied the Rough Ri- ders all the way through his speech, and while he failed to mention the in dustrial accomplishments already wis fble and recorded in the history of ths territory. he dwelt at some length on the great benefits which would come to Arizona as a result of the national irrigation system which had been in augurated: he seems to be an enthu' siast on this subject which should be gratifying to the arid west and is sui fcient to compensate Arizonans, to some extent at least. for his unwill ingness to speak a word of hope for their efforts to gain equality in gov ernment with the people residing ir l the states. NdlOHai lAAASoNASA
 pushed forward with the determine tion and energy proposed by the Pres ident will soon not only insure state hood for Arizona, but make of it on' of the important and most populoui states Of the west.
 The courage and determination o the people of Arizona in convert ing this territory from a savage
 ridden desert to a land of prosperity
 during the last thirty years, will no
 be abandoned because their efforts an
 the great things which they have don
 hae been overlooked by Presiden Roosevelt: they will go right ahead rt

We are in receipt of the first number of the Douglas Daily Dispatch, Frank B. Dorr, editor and proprietor. The Dispatch was established as a weekly fourteen months ago by Hon. A. F. Banta. During the campaign of last year the paper was purchased by Mr. Dorr, who has made a good sue. cess of the enterprise. A daily pa per at Douglas is but another evidence of the wonderful growth of that town. Mir. Dorr is deserving of the success he has made in the Douglas newspa- Ter field, as he is a hard worker. Much hard work is behind every news paper success. The Dispatch has the best wishes of the Review and we hope it will become an efficient CO worker in keeping before the world the wonderful Tezources and un equaled advantages to be found in this section of Arizona for homeseekeri and capitalists.

Notwithstanding the extra" pub lished by the Tombstone American, of the 5th inst, announcing the presenta- ton on that day, at the Grand Canyon, of the bear Teddy" which was start cd from Bisbee, the bear was shipped direct to Washington from Phoenix. When the American Extra" appeared, heralding the arrival of the President at the Grand Canyon in monstrous wood letters, the President was at that very time in New Mexico. Truly the kind of newspaper enterprise in- augurated by the American is a new brand in Arizona. No other paper has ever attempted to give telegraph ic news of events twenty-four hours before the schedule time for their oc- currence. We accept the appology of the Amerian for bringing to Bisbee this 'hot air" story twelve hours in advance of the Review.

The completion of the new shelter at Benson, which is now promised within ninety days, will add very much to the importance of that town. Benson has several good things com ing to it in the near future. The completion and furnishing of the In- dustrial school will be accomplished during the present year when it prom ises to become an important territo- rial institution; the Phoenix & Arizo- na railroad is being constructed and will reach Benson sometime next year, adding largely to its field of trade. The mining districts tributary to Ben son are all giving good reports of themselves and the possibilities of in creasing the cultivated area of the San Pedro valley by both artesian wells and storage reservoirs promises much for the future of that town. The citizens of the place are wide awake and progressive and are quick to lend every aid and encouragement to any enterprise that promises to bring them more trade and better conditions.
