ALASKA AND NORWAY.
How They Compare and Possibilities
of the Former.

of the Former.
Portland Oregonian: A country SIM
liar to Norway. though of far greater
extent, is Alaska. The climate. re-
sources n physical features of the
two countries are much the same.
Alaska has more resources in miner
AIS, tinber and fisheries, and perhaps
equal or greater resources in agrlcul-
ture. But Alaska is a new country. Its
development has but just begun. Nor
IA OH the other hand, has been in
habited by the ancestors of the present
population from time immemorial. It's
population, is one of the hardest and
best races among the sol of men.
The climate OF Alaska on all it's south
ern coasts is, on the whole. milder than
that of Norway. And the inhabitable
area of Alaska is far greater. Norway
has an area OF 124. 600 square miles.
th.ee-fourths ~uninhabitable. Alaska
miles and an inhabitable area of per-
haps 120, 900 square miles.
Norway has a population Of 2.292, 900.
This population occupies q territory.
scarcely exceeding 10000 square miles
Almost the whole population is on or
near the coast line. A lofty mountain
chain, a little back from the coast, as
in Alaska. cuts off the shore line from
the interior. There is some agricul-
ture. but. measured by our standards.
not uch The principal industries are
fishing, navigation, cattle raising,
dairying and numbering. In southern
Norway agriculture is an important in
terest but breadstuffs are still i'm
ported.
In all the particulars above enumer-
ated Alaska has resources greater than
those of Norway. and mineral resources
OF immensely greater extent. The cli-
Notes are similar, but that Of Alaska
mi!der. Taking Norway for Judgment
ana for comparison. we believe tina the
time will come when Alaska will have
5000, 900 Inhabitants and be one of the
most important states of the American
union.
Both countries are crowded down by
mountain chains to narrow strips on
the ocean, but Alaska has much more
available space than Norway, and
natural resources far greater. I'm.
doubtedly many years must elapse be.
fore the development of Alaska will
equal that of Norway, but it will come.
1t is q country, like Norway, for a
hardy, strong, virtuous, stable and pro-
gressive population. by the end of the
present century there will be a popu.
lation Of 2,00O.0 900 to 1900, 600 in Alaska.
