settle in any country under heaven.
There was time when this was not
so. Then immigrants had but a lin
tied choice of new homesteads, and
followed beaten tracks. But in these
latter times every country that wants
it's waste places peopled and its re-
sources developed must advertise It,
self to attract attention. Our faraway
land of Alaska has thousands of wide
acres to be peopled, and in order to
exploit the wonderful opportunities
that await the homeseeker, there will
be held, in 1909, the great Alaska Yu-
kon-Paciffc exposition at Seattle The
Pacific slope and probably Western
Canada will proclaim through their
exhibits the advantages they offer;
and no doubt our neighbors across
the Pacific, China and Japan, will i'm
prove the opportunity to display their
national manufactures and handi-
crafts.
But it is Alaska that is to be kept
most prominently in the limelight, and
the uniformed observers will be
amazed at the evidences of her excen-
ent soil and climate. Instead Of be-
ing land of perpetual cold and I'M
melting SHOWS, they will find that
though the winters may be severe, yet
the summers are long enough to ma
ture vegetables and ripen fruits SIM
liar to those We eat. Strawberries of
the finest variety are native-g grown,
and roses beautify the flower gardens.
Indeed, the visitor will find that the
snow of the desolate mountain passes
and the boosted gold of the Yukon
valley are not the only products of
our northwest territory. When Alaska
was bought from Russia, in 1867, there
were only thirty-six stars on our ma
tional banner. The price paid-$7,200,-
OO0-seemed tremendous to those of
our statesmen who looked upon it as
fishing and sealing preserve. Little
they dreamed that in thirty-five years
the half-despised Russian purchase
would turn out to be the Golconda of
America, and become the Mecca of the
fortune seekers of the land.

COFFEE WAS THE STAPLE.
Amusing Experience Of Paymaster at
an Irish Boarding House.

Back in the '70s, when the Kansas
division of the Union Pacific was
called the Kansas Pacific, Maj. e. d.
Reddington, who had served with dis
tinction in the civil war, was paymas-
ter. At that time the paymaster was
the biggest man connected with the
road, in the estimation of the EN-
ployes and the people living in the
towns along the line, and his arrival
in the pay car was usually the occa.
sion for great outpouring of the peo
Pile.
One night Maj Reddington's car
pulled into the town of Wallace. The
major and his clerks were given a
grand welcome by the people. They
were escorted to railroad boarding
house and treated as royal guests. 1t
was conducted by buxom Irish won.
an who boasted that she set the best
table at any town along the road.
At supper that night every regular
boarder turned up at the table look
ing his best. The Irish "landlady," as
they called her. appeared in neat

smiling.
"Tay r coffee?" she asked with a
pretty courtesy, as she passed from
one guest or another.
The regular boarders understood 1t
all, and they answered: Coffee,
phase, num-" Maj. Reddington, how
ever, was down east Yankee and
not much of coffee drinker, so when
the question was put to him he replied
with his usual pollteness:
Il will have cup of tea, II you
please"
1t almost took her breath away.
The look of disgust on her face caused
the regular boarders to litter. Then
she flared up.
Say coffee, we omadahn, FIR we have
no tay," she said, as she poured the
majors cup full of steaming coffee

AT FORT OoNELsoN.
Old Soldier Gives interesting Account
of His First Battle.

My first experience on battlefield
was at Fort Donelson. My regiment,
the seventy-sixth' Ohio, had left its re-
cruiting camp at Newark, o.. on Feb.
.. 1862, and about the 18th, | think, we
reached Paducah, writes an old soldier
In the National Tribune. We went
down the Ohio river from Cincinnati
in the evening. but did not go ashore.
| was officer of the guard that day and
night and just before daylight a trans
port came alongside and tied up to our
boat, and a lieutenant jumped aboard
and greeted me with the first informa-
ton that had reached Paducah of the
capture of Fort Henry, That day sew
eral transports, heavily laden with sol
dIers and army supplies, our regiment
included, and also a number of gun
boats, went up the Cumberland river
to make an attack on Fort Donelson.
We landed some two or three miles
below the fort on Friday afternoon,
the 18th, and Immediately marched a
mile or so to the rear of it. We halted
frequently. so that our progress was
slow. We halted once by the cabin of
one of the natives, and | guess they
must have thought there was no doubt
about our being genuine Yankees, for
we certainly asked them enough ques-
tons to satisfy them on that score,
and we had no doubt about their being
genuine southerners, for their replies
were well supplied with "we-uns" and
''yo-uns." When we reached our posi-.
ton in the line it was nearly shutdown,
snow falling and pretty cold. Men
were detailed from our regiment to go
out on the picket line. | remember

We had been playing soldier at Camp

to supper and to bed that night?
The Spanish Fork press. [volume] (Spanish Fork, Utah) 1902-current, 1907-01-17

When we broke ranks we were not
long in getting some fires started, for
the cold annoyed us more than the
fear of the enemys shells, for we had
stood in the ranks so long that we
were pretty badly chilled. When we
came to know more about the shells,
however, we were not quite so indif-
ferent, Some, however, did not try to
build fires, but rolled their blankets
around them and lay down together in
groups like lot of pigs, while others
who had picked up dead branches and
made fires got out their tincups and
made coffee before trying to sleep.
For my own part, | was a stakeholder
