Grafton of Three Years Ago.

On the Fourth of July, 1904, Judge Wickersham delivered an address at Fairbanks which may we'll be recalled by Alaskans at this time. It cannot now be quoted more fully, but it dealt very candidly with the relation of the terri tory to the union. It was evident at that early date the speaker foresaw the demand for political rights by Alaskans He said:
 Today eighty millions of freemen in ioyons procession lay offerings of loyal love upon rr,sdom's altars, and gather strength and renew their patriotism with a contemplation of her bounteous gifts.
 We who gather around a trans planted altar, erected hastily in this fer tile valley of distant province, join them today in thankfulness for free dom's gracious gifts to the land of our birth. In the spirit of our Rev olutionary fathers we desire to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, though we may reside in Alaska.

in order, Senator Platt of Connecticut offered the following as an additional section of the bill:
 "Sec. IA. That nothing in this act shall be taken or construed to imply or indicate that the territory embraced by the district of Alaska, or any portion thereof, shall at any time hereafter be admitted as state."
 The amendment was passed for the time, the bill was postponed and there the matter seems to have ended. It appears, however, that there is strong disinclination on the part of the people of the United States to incorporate non- contiguous territories into the union. and we who have cast our lot with Alaska, who are residents, miners, home seekers here, may we'll pause an hour on this day so dear to our fatherland. and inquire concerning what our kln- dred intend to do with Alaska.

they are mere dependencies of th' United States. Their people do no constitute sovereign power. All polit ical authority therein is derived iron congress. Alaska is today without con stitutional rights or privileges-in stat' of pupilage-and is a mere dependency of the United States. What of the fu ture? Every foot of land lyinI between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans between Mexico and Canada, is either ; part of a sovereign State, and bound and benefited by the constitution of tn, United States, or is impressed with { pledge from our government that i shall in proper time become so. Nc such promise, however, has been made by the United States to any non-contig uous or distant territory. Alaska Ina. no such pledge; no stipulation that sht shall be incorporated into the union O the United States according to the prin ciples of the federal constitution. The third article of the treaty of 1867 witt Russia for the cession of Alaska to tht United States provided only that "tht inhabitants of the ceded territory shal be admitted to the enjoyment of all tho rights, advantages and immunities O citizens of the United States, and shal be protected and maintained in the fret enjoyment of their liberty, property ant religion" Nor was any such promise made Hawaii, Cuba, Porto Rico or tho Philippines.
 To accentuate the difference between acquiring adjoining territory and ap proving a treaty stipulation that i should be incorporated into the unioI of the United States, according to tn, principles of the federal constitution and acquiring distant and non-contigu ous territories, the senate of the United States before it would consent to ap prove the treaty with Spain by whicl our nation acquired dominion over Port, Rico and the Philippines, passed thu following resolution:
 That by the ratification of the treat, of peace with Spain, it is not intende, to incorporate the inhabitants of thu Philippine islands into citizenship of tn, U;.ited States, but it is the intention O the United States to establish on sai, islands government suitable to thu wants and conditions of the inhabitant of said islands to prepare them for lcca self government, and in due time t' make such disposition of said islands n will best promote the interest of thu United States and the inhabitants O said islands"

J.P. CLuM'S GRAFTON
Concluded from first page.

Alaska claims the highest American mountain and one of Americas greatest rivers. The Alexander archipelago con- tains over eleven hundred islands, and the Aleutian archipelago plunges away into the Pacific nearly fifteen hundred miles, and rests upon the map like a giant index finger, mutely but persist ently indicating the westward stride of the course of empire.
 The scenic features are not the least of Alaska's assets. Already a goodly clien- tage of tourists are paying tribute to the fascinating grandeur of the ''inside pas sage," where the steamers glide steadily through those narrow channels and passes, where the icy green waters rip pie along the somber and teuantless shores, where and endless sweep of for ests fringe the banks and bluffs; while above and beyond tower those glorious mountains of snow-graceful dimpled, shimmering, clean-cut and stately-pre- senting spectocle unsurpassed in the majesty of it. grandeur.
 do not hesitate to declare that when our fashionable American tourists have wearied with Norway and the Alps they may, with confidence, hope to find more varied, extensive and inspiring creations of the Supreme Architect in these silent Alaskan mountains, mantled in eternal snow, with their mighty glaciers of azure hue perched with threatening as- pect on the brows of towering crags, or creeping with measured pace to the bosom of the sea.
 The speaker alluded to the immensi- ty of the territory, though largely unde- deloped, which is the home of intelligent men and women, with numerous insti- tutions and enterprises common to civ ilization; quoted statistics of it's furs, its commerce and its gold; referred to it's production present and prospective, and continued:l
 Those of us who have marked the splendid progress of Alaska during the past decade cannot fail to foresee the marvellous development that is promised within the ten years that are to follow. And what true Alaskan does not hope for the fullest realization of this prom ise? With such forecast of the future I firmly believe there are those within the hearing of my voice today who will live to see Alaska earnestly and confi- dently knocking at the door of the na- tional congress for admission as sov- ereign stete.

were present with him when he died
only Judge Barnes and two of his per-

custom all summer to hold religious SER

original followers remained faithful and
attended these services. Dowie always
wore his apostolic robes and made a
characteristic address. Five weeks ago
these meetings ceased, and Dowie ap-
peared no longer in public. Since that
time Dowie has gradually been failing.
Friday afternoon there were no indica-
tions of approaching death. He received
a few followers and prayed for some
people.
Early this morning Dowie became de-
lirious. He denounced the people with
old time vigor and gradually became
weaker. Mrs. Dowie and members of
the family had been telegraphed. His
wife and son have been estranged, but it

Large and Enthusiastic Meeting on

no trouble or expense should be
spared to make the celebration
highly enjoyable.
1t was further decided that the
entire arrangements should be lett
