Chicago Nov. S.-An innovation was tried
yesterday at Northwestern with considerable
success. The arms Of the players jerseys were
covered with brown cloth to aid in cencealing

the purple color of the jerseys make too great
contrast with the color Of the ball, and as a
result the man carrying the ball is easily recog-

ALAskA's vASTNEss.
Gus Big Territory Equal In Size to
Twelve Great States.


Twelve Great States.
Do you know that Nome, Alaska, is
300 miles west of Honolulu? Do you
know that Alaska has almost two and
rest of the United States?
If you start at Seattle and go up the
coast through 400 miles of Canadian
inland waters to the Portland canal
you will come to that imaginary line
that the Alaskan boundary commission
decreed as the place where Alaska be-
gins. This inland sea is very like the
tiords of the coast of Norway and des-
worlds great pleasure resorts, and
when you know this region you will
deplore the lack Of diplomacy which
lost us this picturesque coast line and
left the Alaska of today detached terri
tory In very truth the cry of 1915 of
''54-40 or fight was right.
At the Portland canal Alaska begins.
and as you sail up the thousand miles
of this wonderful inland sea, of scenic
beauty and grandeur surprising any
thing in the world. you are in south
eastern Alaska, which includes the is
lands along the coast and the mainland
from the shore line to the summit of
the coast range as far north as Mount
ST. Elias. From the summit of this
high peak the boundary line between
Alaska aud British Yukon territory
runs directly north to the frozen
ocean, as the old Russian treaty called
it.
The territory of Alaska is about
equal to the combined states of Michi-
gan, Indiana. Illinois, Wisconsin. Min
nesota, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Iowa, Nebraska. Kansas. Missouri and
Kentucky. Maps are deceptive for
comparison unless they are drawn to
the same scale. and unfortunately
maps Of Alaska are generally drawn to
small scale. But put Alaska ON the
United States. and It will extend from
Savannah, GA, to Los Angeles, Cal.
The climatic conditions differ as great.
ly as those of North Dakota differ from
those of Florida. The mean annual
temperature of Sitka is about the same
as that Of Washington. though the ex-
tremes of heat and cold are greater at

The date of the laying of the founda-

Ing one that would reach to the abiding
place of the Lord and his hosts. Proof
that this is probable may be found in
several places In holy writ. The walls
of the cities of Canaan are described
by Moses in similar phraseology. The
spies sent out by him returned and re-
ported that the cities Of that country
were great and We're walled up to
heaven" See Deuteronomy /, %: tx, I.
There is a Jewish legend in the Tai
mud which tells us that God did not

of 10000 fathoms, which Is equal to

THE GLORIOUS OUTLOOK.

10 the people OF flefre VINO
have lived here for twenty-five
years and more, the official con-
firrnation that the Northwestern
road will extend its line from this
city to the Black Hills with all
possible dispatch, comes as the
best news that has been heard
here during the quarter century
Of Pierre's existence. No other
news has ever been quite so ac-
ceptable or gratifying, not ex-
cepting the result of the three
capital fights in which our city
won handsomely, the opening OF
the the great Sioux reservation to
settlement in 1883, the discovery
of an abundance Of natural gas, or
many other things that have
meant much to the future deyel-
opment Of our city. Everything
has been secondary to the one de-
SIRE upon the part of Pierre to
get an outlet west, which would
bring us in close touch with the
wonderfully rich country in the
Black Hills and beyond. Every
enterprise, every business and
every scheme for development
has been practically at a stand
still for quarter of a century
waiting fors this move upon the
part of the Northwestern.
And now it has come !!
The feeling Of deep satisfac-
ton, of confidence and belief in
the great future Of Pierre is find
ing vent these days; not in any
open demonstration or celebra-
tion upon the part of citizens but
in a general gathering Of forces,
q summing up Of individual re-
sources and a planning for the
future with certainty that every
enterprise, no matter how small,
is bound to reap harvest OF
good results with the sure devel
opment of the city from this time
on.
IT has been a long and weary
period OF waiting. The Free
Press can look about and see men
who came to Pierre twenty five
years ago, who were then young
and ambitious, but whose hairs
are now turning gray. They have
stayed by the town, have done
their part towards its upbuilding,
and have protected its interests
at all times, secure in the belief
that some day it would be a grow
ing and prosperous city, never
losing sight of their ambitions,
and waiting always for the one
thing alone that would bring
about the realization Of their
hopes.
And now it has come
The Free Press congratulates
the people Of Pierre, especially
its old timers. This paper, under
its present management, has fol
nearly twenty years talked q
these things that are now coming
