of existence at hand and few of the
thousands of accessories TO industry

products, almost all of which are use
less to that country and are of value
only when carried to far-distant lands.
Such is Alaska-dependent upon
transportation for its very existence as
habitation and equally dependent up
on transportation to give value to its
ores and its furs. Two expressions
heard every day from Skaguay to
Nome, tell just how the Alaskan pio-
neer feels about his position in this
regard when he refers to Alaska as
con the inside and the rest of the
world as "on the outside" The i'm
