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

From the Portland Oregonan.
A country similar to Norway, though of
far greater extent, Is Alaska The climate
resources and physical features of the two
countries are much the same. Alaska has
more resources in minerals timber and fish,
cries. and perhaps. equal or greater re-
sources in agriculture. But Alaska Is a
new country Its development has but Just
begun Norway, on the other hand, has
been inhabited by the ancestors of the pres
ent population from time immemorial Its
population is one Of the hardest and best
races among the sons of men.
The climate of Alaska on all its 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 $4,000 square miles, three-fourths
uninhabitable- Alaska has an area Of more
than 100000 square miles and an inhabIt-
able area of perhaps 10000 square miles
Norway has population of 2.292, COO
This population occupies a territory scarce
ly exceeding 10000 square miles. Almost
the whole population is on or near the
coast line. lofty mountain chain, 1T
tie back from the coast. as in Alaska, cuts
off the shore line from the interior. There
is some agriculture. but, measured by our
standards, not much. The principal in
dustries are fishing. navigation, cattle rails
ing, dairying and numbering. In southern
Norway agriculture is important inter-
est. but breadstuffs are still imported.
In all the particulars above enumerated
Alaska has resources greater than those
of Norway. and mineral resources of i'm
mensely greater extent. The climates are
similar but that of Alaska milder. Taking
Norway for judgment and for comparison
we believe that the time will come when
Alaska will have 100000 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
h,,t 1aS lxo hnG l.
able space than Norway. and natural re-
sources far greater Undoubtedly many
years must elapse before the development
of Alaska will equal that of Norway, but
it will come. 1t Is country, like Nor
way. for a hardy strong. vlrtuous, stable
and progressive population BY the end
of the present century there will be pop
uIation of 1900 600 to 100000 in Alaska

two next preceding. still 225 barrels addi-
tional were under matches when the bark

The luck of the Sunbeam Is being shared

sephine on her present voyage
The Josephine left New Bedford Septem-
Der 10. 1903. She cruised In the South At

not only secured a rich haul of sperm

bone-bearing right whales In waters long

No less than 6779 barrels of sperm oil
