The territory of Alaska is of vast
extent and possesses varied climate,
broad rivers, innumerable lakes, deep
forests, and chains of lofty mountains
in short, many Of the chief attrib-
utes of a natural game resort. Its
barren northern shores, frequented by
the numbering walrus and the formid-
able polar bear, are washed by ice
laden currents, while its southern ex-
tensions support luxuriant forests in
habited by the graceful Sitka deer.
Between these extremes are great
interior forests, the home of the lord!y
moose, broad open tundras ana req
ing plateaus, traversed by herds of
unsuspicious caribou, and snow>clad
mountain ranges, the stronghold of
sharp-eyed sheep and dull-witted
goats.
Among Alaskas game animals are
some of the largest and finest in the
world, as the giant moose and the
huge brown bears. The game of the
entire territory includes moose, carl
bou, deer, mountain sheep, mountain
goat, walrus and polar, brown, grizzly,

study and outdoor life recently awak-
ened in the United States is likely to
be permanent, and future generations
whether hunters, naturalists, animal
photographers, or simply lovers of ma
ture, will set high value upon the
possession of an undespoiled territory
furnishing primitive haunts for wild
game.
To the permanent inhabitants of
Alaska the value of game is obvious.
Indeed, although much game was
killed during the early rushes of gold
seekers, Alaskans generally have not
been slow to appreciate the necessity
of game protection and the sentiment
in favor of it is growing rapidly
Prospectors and travellers in the
wilderness must depend largely on
game for food, and their necessities
have been fully recognized in the
game law. Considerable game also
has been killed for consumption in
small settlements where no regular
supply of other fresh meat is avail
able. However this n regarded, it is
evident that restric S)ns must be
placed upon the killing of game for
sale in large towns where the demand
is sufficient TO endanger the very ex-
istence of the species.
Besides serving as food, some of
the animals are of local value for their
skins, the whites having adopted many
of the articles customarily used by In
dians. as skin clothing, bedding, and
footwear. Most Alaskans, although
enjoying the sport, pursue game with
utilitarian purpose, yet not a few hunt
in regular season purely for the en-
joyment of the outing, and by such
the game is greatly valued, since it
makes life more tolerable in a country
where diversions are limited.
The game of Alaska has a very real
money value. Each individual animal
is part of a great interest-bearing cap
ital. If all the game in Alaska were
brought together in one large Enclosure
the animals so gathered would far out
number those of the largest stock farm
in the world. Assuming It possible to
market such a herd a large sum of
money would be realized. But stock
raiser does not market his entire herd
unless retiring from business. He
sells only the annual increase in or
der that the herd may maintain itself
and assure an unfailing future income.
Viewing the matter solely from bust
ness standpoint a similar conservative
course should be pursued with our
stock of wild game. the determination
OF which fer the sake Of immediate
returns is absolutely indefensible.

Since 1865 the general material de-
velopment of the country has been
such as to transcend all ordinary hui
man understanding,
Vast new mining fields have been
opened, whole areas of coal deposits,
many of them entirely unsupported,
have been found and developed since
1865. The enormously valuable depos-
its of copper in Montana have all been
discovered and developed since 1865.
Michigan's, though known before then,
have also been mainly developed in
side of 40 years. So have the great
iron deposits of Michigan, the zinc
deposits of Missouri and countless beds
OF mineral wealth of all sorts in the
south and in the almost boundless
fans-Mississippi regions.
Secretary Seward knew that there
was almost fabulous treasure under
the surface of what was called Rus
sian America when he bought it from
the cars government, but the gold
and silver and other mineral wealth
of Alaska has practically all been
found and developed within the last
ten years. In 40 years the addition
from mineral sources alone to the
wealth of the country has amounted
to billions on the back of billions.
Petroleum was discovered before
1865, and the development of territory
which yielded it was begun 40 years
ago but by far the greater part of that
development has been accomplished
since then.
Along with all these things the
area of cultivated land has been in
creased so that the wheat and corn
and cotton and other crops of the pres
ent are enormously vaster than they
were in 1865. Manufactures of all
sorts have increased enormously also,
the total for 1865 being worth rather
more than two billions of dollars; this
gear the total value OF our manufac-
lures will not be far from fifteen bill
lions of dollars, roughly estimating the
figures from the census of 1900.
Stimulated by the extension and de-
velopment of the rail- Dads, and in
turn stimulating their ueVelopment,lnu-
mately interlocked and interdependent
with the growth of mining, agriculture
and manufacturing, there has been an
unbelievable growth Of cities and
towns.
And, as Uncle Sam, after a right
good dinner of turkey and pumpkin
pie and other standard Yankee viands.
contemplates the tremendous advance
his settlements have made he may
also dwell in thought upon the fact
that the total of the country's popula-
ton has grown from about 33.500.000
in 1865, to more than SO,OO0.000 in
1908.
Now these material good things are
all well worth being grateful for; no
other people on the green earth have
so many reasons Of the sort for thank
fulness as the Americans.

black and glacier bears, besides a
variety of waterfowl shore birds, and
upland game birds In game resources
Alaska compares favorably with the
western part of the United States in
early days, and at the present time
It is one of the most important game
regions in the world.
Without entering into the general
subject of the value of game to all
countries possessing it, Alaska's game
may be considered chiefly with refer
ence to the features making It espe-
cially valuable.
Alaska is of particular Importance
as a game region because, of all
American possessions, it is the one in
which frontier conditions promise to
last longest. Notwithstanding its
wealth of mineral and other resources
the territory is not likely to be thick
ly populated, at least not for decades
to come. It is true railroads already
are beginning to penetrate its wilds
and no doubt cities of considerable
size will develop, but, even so, inn
mense tracts far from populous cen
ters will long remain in almost prime
val condition. This is apparent from
the great size of the territory and its
climatic and photographic conditions.
It's area is almost one-fifth that of the
entire United States, and although
much of this is economically full of
promise it must not be forgotten that
nearly one-fourth lies beyond the
arctic circle and that large proper
ton of the remainder consists of high
mountains and inhospitable wilds. In
the states irrigation is reclaiming
many arid tracts and drainage is max
ing IL possible to utilize swamps and
waste areas which now furnish re-
fuges for game.
From all parts of the country come
reports of an increasing scarcity Of
game animals. Hence our remaining
natural game preserves in Alaska are
the more to be priced and correspond
ingly to be guarded. Within the
United States certain kinds Of game
may be maintained for years on their
original range. but for other kinds
the reserve is inevitable, as no re-
striction of shooting can offset the
constant diminution of the natural
range they require. Thus most Of the
winter feeding grounds of the wapiti,
or elk, already have been absorbed
for agricultural purposes and the ami
mails bid fair to be reduced to semi
domestication. being fed like cattle in
winter or confined to inclosed or re-
stricted ranges. The same experience
probably would have come to the

natured person can find fault. But a
cursory contrast of the condition of
the country as it was then and as it
is now shows vast general improve
ment.
To begin with, Thanksgiving day,
1865, found the country as yet prac-
tically unaddressed to the problem of
getting over the frightful struggle
that had rent and torn and well-nigh
disrupted it. Not only were the
wounds of sectional ill-feeling still
open and unhealed, but most of the in
dustries of one great section were still
practically Frustrated.
The readiustment Of the country's
business, difficult always after a great
war; but doubly so after the civil war,
because of the enormous initiation TO
which the currency had been subject
ed. was yet to be undertaken.
Most important agencies in the new
and stronger union which has come to
the United States since 1865 have been
furnished by the tremendously i'm
proved means of communication and
transportation. Most folk accept it to-
day as a matter of course. To the
younger generation it seems like an in
stitution that has always existed, with
out which, no matter how much fault
may be found with its rates, the bust
ness of the country could not well go
on. But while there were about $4,000
niles of railroad in 1865, there are
more than four times that many to-
day, or about 215,000, more than seven
miles for every 100 square miles of
territory.
Then, as the old heads remember
very well, there was no steel highway
linking the coast of the Atlantic with
the coast of the Pacific. Then there
we're three ways by which one wish
ing to travel from New York or Bos-
ton or Washington, to San Francisco
Or Portland, could do so: Overland by
a combination of rail to the Missis-
sippi, and stage coach and horseback
westward from the river, journey re-
quiring many days; by steamer or
sailing ship around the Horn, a voy-
age of months; or by steamer to the
Isthmus of Panama (they called it
Darien, them across on the Panama
railroad, and thence by steamer again
up the coast to San Francisco.
It cost several hundred dollars to
get from one side of the country to
the other, then. Now, at the lowest
rate, you may travel from one ocean
to the other for $50; the highest rate,
unless you wish to go on a private or
special cara veritable palace on
wheels-is s115.75. This includes sep
ing car, birth and meals.

bison, but it's fate was decided more
peremptorily. Very different, however,
are conditions in Alaska, and, so far
as can be seen at present, ample
room for wild game will be available
for years to come.
Even if bison, elk, and antelope had
remained abundant in the United
States, still the game of Alaska would
be of special interest because it in
cludes many fine animals quite differ

Political and Social
Has Not Failed
By PROF. MAXINE KOVALEVSKY,
Famous Historian and Member Council of Empire.

You ask why has the Russian revolution
failed? l begin by denying the fact. My opinion is
that it has not failed but is going at the present
time and if despairng, it is because they do
not realize the real nature of the movement The
movement is far from being only potical-it is es-
sentaly social 1t began years ago, and its chief re-
suit will be the creation of Russian democracy.
Centuries ago Harrington, in his Oceana, expressed
the dea new for his time that power belongs to those
who own the land Now Russian soil is rapidly passing
into the hands of the peasants. The first Duma in
tended to accelerate the movement through legisla-
ton The reaction which followed was chiefly created
by the fact that the Russian nobility was frightened
by the radicasm of the measures proposed.
