they were to be shot down. The as

ALASKA AND NORWAY.
How They Compare and Possibilities
Of tho Former.

How They Compare and Possibilities
Of the Former.
Portland Oregonian: A country SIM
liar to Norway, though OF far greater
extent, Is Alaska. The climate, re-
two countries are much the same.
Alaska has more resources in miner
ais, timber and fisheries, and perhaps
equal or greater in agricul-
ture. But Alaska is a new country. Its
development has but just begun. Nor
way, on the other hand, has been in
habited by the ancestors OF the present
population from time immemorial. Its
population Is one of the hardest and
best races anon the sons Of men.
The climate of Alaska on ali it's south
ern coasts is, on the whole, milder h a
that Of Norway. And the inhabitable
area Of Alaska is far greater. Norway
three-fourths uninhabitable. Alaska
has an area OF more thar 6JG, 111JU square
miles and an inhabitable area Of per-
haps 1906 square miles.
Norway has a population Of 1929, 900.
This population occupies a territory
scarcely exceeding 10000 square miles.
Almost the whole population Is or 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 much. The principal industries are
fishing, navigation, cattle raising.
dairying and numbering. In southern
Norway agriculture Is an important in
terest but breadstuffs are still inn
ported.
In all the particulars above enumer-
ated Alaska has greater than
those of Norway, and mineral
Of immensely greater extent. The ell
mates 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
1900, 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 moro
available space than Norway, and
natural 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 a 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 1000, 900 to 5000, 600 in Alaska
