Pennsylvania. Ohio, Michigan, In
diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas

years ago.
Grand and glorious viii be the
meeting and all who attend will have
cause to rejoice. The lowest rate ever
secured has been given the entire
public for this occasion, one cent per
mile. short line distance.
Here is one of the great opportunities
tor the education of the youth. Don't

| its historical connections. 1t is the

will be left to do this noble work

How They Compare and Possibilities

Portland oregonian: A country sim
liar TO Norway. though OF far greater
extent. Is Alaska. The climate. re-
sources and physical features OF the
two countries are much the same.
Alaska has more In miner
ats, timber and fisheries. and perhaps
equal or greater resources In agricui-
ture. But Alaska Is a new country. Its
development has but just begun. Nor
way. on the other hand. has beer In
habited by the ancestors OF the present
population from time i~mmemorlal. It's

has an area OF more than 500. 900 square
miles and an inhabitable area OF per-
haps 1900 0 square miles.
Norway has a population OF 2.2sf. 900.
This population occupies a territory
scarcely exceeding 30. 900 square miles.

not much. The principal industries are
fishing. navigation. cattle raising.
dairying and numbering. In southern
Norway agriculture Is an important In
tsrest but breadstufYs are still I'm
ported.
In all the particulars above enumer-
ated Alaska has greater than
those OF Norway. and mineral
OF immensely greater extent. The cli-
mates are similar. but that CT Alaska
milder. Taking Norway for judgment
and for comparison, we believe that tho
time will come when Alaska Will havs

most important states or the American
union.
Both countries are crowded down by
