SAN FRANcIsco's EXAMPLE

Two and half years after the great fire, traces of the conhagra- ton have been removed from Bal timore and last week the city eele- brated homecoming and jubilee season to mark the rapid recovery of the city from the terrible disas- der of February, 1904. The prop- erty loss at Baltimore was almost as great as that at San Francisco. T. the former has been put upon its feet again in thirty months, why pessimism regarding the future of the latter? Frisco's commerce is larger, it's future more inspiring of confidence. Baltimore cannot hope for growth of magnitude, while the coast metropolis will increase in the ordinary course of events. Five months after the earthquake, the streets of the city are cleared and rebuilding has begun on every side. The clearing house reports for the past two months show the greatest business in the history of the city. In only one respect had Baltimore this advantage. The fire claims on insurance companies were paid in the eastern city. But the repudia' ton, wholesale aa it has been in san Francisco, seems merely tc have spurred its people to noblel efforts.

ALASKA, U. S. A.

A nation is to be congratulated that it had William H. Seward, N hose foresight and sta,esmanship made it possible to grasp a situa- ton that today gives to the United States the richest territory within sher borders
 When MI. Seward proached the proposition of the purchase of Al asks i.om the Russians. the idea ,xas Eco.fed at and made light of by ,she then leading statesman who controlled the national congress. But with a persistence known only to men of his make up, the old sec rotary of state held onto his scheme with bulldog tenaoity and finally le, ..s- :.7vsaost men of the land to :. .a and believe as he be- li.yed. anG en the 18th day of De- tober. >.S.. -. ar.icles were signed transferring Alaska from Russia to the United States, the consideration being the pitiful sum of E. 100000.
 All honor to William H. Seward for the foresight portrayed in this great transaction a transaction that has made ii possible for the American nation to possess region which is pouring into the treasury of its people hundreds of millions of golden treasure and supplying the markets of the world with furs and food fishes that swarm in it's waters, to say nothing of the many and varied industries which are fast forging to the front to make us a great empire.
 Today is the thirty-ninth anni- yersary of the purchase, of which every American citizen should feel proud it is a day in which there should be general rejoicing in every village, town and city from Ketch- ikan on the south to Nome on the North, in order to show the de- served appreciation of a work that is vet in its infancy.
 SENTINEL has endeavored, here tofore, to persuade Wrangell to move in the matter of observing the day; but as no move has been made, let us at least hope that il there is no active demonstration our citizens may give the day a- least a passing thought as one ot great and lasting importance.
