The Ketchikan miner., 1907-07-27

Congressman Sulzer came to Ketch- ikan Thursday night on the steamer Pacific from the West Coast of Prince of Wales island where he has spent two weeks visiting his brother Charles Sulzer and locking over his mining properties.
 At the Hotel Stedman this morning the Congressman said to the represen- tative of this paper: "&es, l had a II ost onjoy able visit to the west coast. The trip did ne much good as it alWa , does. It is the greatest d u e healtdi9st pace in the world ; and this summer is simply ideal, did considerable trampipg over the mountains, and as you say, l am tan ned like an indian-but l like it-it agrees with me. l only wish l could remain here longer, but l cannot this year, must leave on the first boat for the north to attend to some inn portant business, and incidentally I shall see more of Alaska this year than I ever did on previous trips, and the more one sees of Alaska the more one is impressed with it's greatness. My interest in Alaska grows with every visit The more l see of this beautiful country the more am i'm pressed with its wonders, its natural resources, and its tremendous possi- bilities. The people of the East have no conception of the greatness, the grandeur, and the marvellous wealth of Alaska. It is Uncle Sans treasure chest--rich in it's natural rosoUrce' beyond the dreams of aVarice, ant capable of sustaining population as great as that of France, But wha is the use of ne telling you and th' good people of Ketchikan what vol

all know? I'll wait until get back home to talk Alaska, and I have been talking Alaska-for Alaska and her rights, in Congress and out of Congress-as you know, for at least
 the last ten yeafs.
 "Yes, " said the Congressman in answer to a question, "my brother and his family are quite well, and agree with me about the wonders and the beauties, and the natural resour- ces, and the future possibilities of Alaska. My brother is entitled to much credit for the good work he has done, and is doing. on the west coast to demonstrate that this is per- manent mining district and destined in a few years to be as great mining camp as Butte. We have always be-
 ieved it, experts to the contrary not withstanding, and we are proving our belief a reality. Our mines are doing well-all we ever claimed-but we are HON bl"SS < HE oeiu Juoo NoIhlHS away letting results tell the tale. Results speak louder than words.
 "Of course,o continued the Con gressman, it is very gratifying to me to witness the progress that is being made on every side, and to see the prosperity in every walk of life in this wonderfully favored country There is plenty to do for all here and plenty of room for all. Alaska is coming to the front in giant strides. but it is only in it's beginning. so to speak, and as yet-the surface of her fields and mountains of wealth has only been scratched No one can predict the greatness of Alaska's future, but believe with Baron Von Humboldt that Alaska will produce more natural wealth than any state in the union, and the day is now at hand when this prediction will be reality"

David Ferris of this city IS taking part
in the hfty-hfth annual meeting Of the
Longwood yearly meeting at Kennett
Square.
At yesterdays meeting an address was
made by Mrs. Susan S. Fessenden, a
temperance worker and peace advocate,
of Boston, on "'rhe Monopoly of the
Liquor Traffic"
"This is a monopoly" she said, that
is far more dangerous to the peope than
the Standard OIL In America we pro-
tect everything but the homes Of the
people. These are at the mercy Of every
kind Of monopoly and trust. 1t is Of far
greater Importance that the morals and
characters Of our people be safeguarded
from the dangers that menace them than
that we throw up barriers to protect our
Industries from the encroachments of
foreign competitors"
Martha S. Cranston, Of Scranton, Del,
reioiced that her little State had succeed

GAIL FoR MEN FoR rAE NAVY

Congress is to be asked TO furnish
5000 more enlisted men for the Unit.
ed States navy. aud It is doubtful if
many persons know what this means.
The number OF men authorized in 1906
was $1,000. The proposed increase
will bring the navy within handshnk
Ing distance with the United States
army. Do the people of the country
understand the Importance of sen
power? These facts would Indicate II.
Never before was the navy 80 near
to the army in size At The outbreak
of the civil war the United states
navy had only 1000 men. At the end
OF the war 1900 were enrolled. AZ.

There is no question lat that prcsi-

FIRST lady in the land on the night
of election in 1907 that two Will leave

ton than any that he has made to
tho public. But whether he takes II

that President Roosevelt does not
propose to losc his hold on the PEG
pie II is very evident that one OBJ
ject OF his last trip was 10 try ont his
popularity with the people. Ho is
very DESTROYS of maintaining his hold
on tho people, that he may accom-
nlish certain plans he has in mind.
He wants certain legislation at the
coming session OF Congress, and he
may upset the welllald plans OF the
Congressional leaders to pnss the sup.
ply bills, and adjourn without doing
anything more by insisting that Con
gress must take action for or against
certain policies which ho has been
advocating with respect TO the con
troll of corporations.
Tho reception with which the Pres.
ident was accorded, in his opinion,
confirms his belief that the people are
still With him and will give him their
support and use their influence In
securing legislation. which he thinks
IS necessary to protect the people
against tho corporations and trusts.
The President has been concerned
ever since tho adjournment OF the
last Congress about what he has term
ed the "reactionarics. Men Of this
class have feeling that enough has
been done in the way OF TRUST lNst-
ing legislation for the present. and
that there are enough of laws for
the present on the statute books to
meet every requirement, Bit the
