Why Seward Bought Alaska

MY father, some way or other,
learned of this intercourse between the
two nations, and was at once deeply
interested. For many years he had
held tenaciously to the opinion that
the United States had made a grave
mistake in not insisting on running it's
northernmost boundary to fifty-four
forty. He had been a firm advocate
of our control of the Pacific coast line
from the end of Lower California to
the top of the continent, believing, as
he did, that the Pacific would ultimate
ly be the seat of the worlds greatest
commerce. So, when he learned that
Alaska was to all intents and purposes
on the market, he saw an excellent
chance of adding to our Pacific coast
line, and at the same time, of keeping
Great Britain's Pacific outlet down to
the smallest possible minimum.
Reasoning that Russia from her
past attitude towards us, and with no
consuming desire to have Johnny Bull
only thirty-six miles distant from ST.
IBERIA, would favor us over Great Bri-
tain as possible customer for Alaska,

and communicative mood. AS he
talked he stood leaning over the
marble counter of financial institu-
ton. with whose officers he was on
friendly terms. Finally, somebody
mentioned the word rubber" and at
once Mr. Huntington's manner took
on the ear-marks of the enthusiast.
Il have heard it stated that this is
the iron age, the railroad age, the
electrical age" he said but / have
sometimes thought that it might
properly be called the rubber era.
regard rubber as standing in equal
rank, almost, with wool and cotton as
factor in modern industrial devel-
opment. OF course, it does not rank
with grain, for grain is converted into
food, and food is of first necessity.
But as our industrial development
goes on, there are bound to be larger
and larger uses for rubber, and ! am
sure that there will come a time
when for years the worlds supply win
not be equal to the demand.
Nevertheless, l am satisfied that
rightly handled there Is a practically
lnexhaustible supply of rubber-pro-
ducing trees throughout the entire
equatorial belts of South America and
Africa. | am satisfied that the pres
ent methods of rubber production are
wasteful; am told that there is an
unnecessary destruction of trees. But
/ am also satisfied that, If a set of
earnest and capable young men would
organize an adequate corporation,
penetrate the equatorial regions with
a satisfactory and reasonably swift
system of communication, and go
about Systematically and seientifical-
ly cultivating rubber trees, that there
is no other industry which would be-
gin to yield the profits these rubber
men would obtain.
ITO my mind, the scientific care of
rubber trees and production of rubber
offers extraordinary opportunities. 1t
should appeal to the ablest and the
most ambitious of the young men who
desire to make great careers and
great fortunes. Were l young man
| would be tempted to go into the
rubber industry myself. But--oh, well,
don't suppose that shall live to see
the day, for l am getting along in
years now; but l am willing to predict
that many men now of middle life will
realize before they become old that
perhaps the greatest Industrial staple
In the world, excepting cotton, and, of
course, the food grains, is rubber"
This conversation with Mr., Hunting
ton took place In the middle nineties.
For the last month or so all England
has been greatly excited over the
speculation In the rseber stocks, due,
1t Is said, to the worlds demands for
rubber practically being greater than
the visible supply.

He Believed In Future Commerce of
the Pacific and Saw a Chance
to Head OFF Great
Britain.

When Seattle's Alaska Yukon-P
exposition was at its height last sum-
mer was fortunate enough to meet
the venerable Frederick w. Seward,
assistant and acting secretary of state
under three presidents-Lincoln. John
son and Hayes. Quite naturally, the
conversation turned on Alaska.
Il presume" said Mr. Seward, that
there will always prevail the belief
that my father, when he was Johnson's
secretary of state, brought about the
purchase of Alaska from Russia pri-
marily for the purpose of paying a ma
tional debt of gratitude to Russia for
the moral assistance that she gave the
Union during the Civil war. There is
not. however, the slightest foundation
Of fact for this belief | know person
ally what am talking about, for while
the negotiations for the purchase Of
Alaska were on was both fathers as
sistant and confidant.
1T was in 1866 that Cyrus w. Field
finally and definitely demonstrated to
the world the feasibility of binding the
continents together with submarine
telegraph cables. Until this epoch
marking demonstration was made to
the satisfaction of the entire world
Russia had given no indication of any
desire to part with her North Ameri-
can possessions. In fact, until the sub
marine cable was pronounced a sue
cess. Russia had long dreamed of
utilizing Alaska as the key to her con-
troll Of an intercontinental telegraphic
land system. The telegraph could cas-
lily have been carried across Bering
strait, which is only SO miles wide at
it's narrowest point; and to this day
you may see in Alaska the relics of a
part of the intercontinenal plant that
Russia began to build there as early as
the late fifties. When. however, the
news came of Fields success, Russia
was led to believe that Alaska would
be of no further material value to her,
and about that time she and Great
Britain tentatively entered into a dip
lomatic discussion regarding the poss-
ible cession of the territory to the latter
nation.

he opened negotiations with the cars
representatives for the sale of the ter
ritory to us. At once Russia showed
her preference for our ownership of
Alaska, and so anxious was father to
defeat Great Britain's aims on the ter.
rftory that there was very little discus.
sion about the price we were to nav
for 1t. In fact, as | recall it now, we
accepted without question Russia's
terms of seven million, two hundred
thousand dollars
Here, then, was my fathers sole
reason for purchasing Alaska. At the
time of the purchase he knew that the
Alaskan fisheries would be valuable.
but he had no idea of the real value
that the territory would ultimately be
to us. But after his trip to Alaska In
1869, two years after he had purI
chased 1t for the nation, he was per-
suaded that, almost unknown to us, we
had secured control for a mere pit,
lance of the worlds greatest treasure

BARNS TO BE ERECTED
Court Leaves Question as to Use of
the Buildings to Future Trail
No Nuisance at Present.

Juneau.-Judge M. L. Lueck filed
his written decision on the motion to
dissolve the preliminary injunction in
the proceedings instituted by F. Ter
ry Andrae against The Wisconsin
State board of agriculture and others.
The decision directs that the pre-
liminary injunction be dissolved in
sofar as it restraints the erection of
the speed barns, but it leaves the
question as to the use to which the
buildings are to be put to be de-
termined at future trial upon the
merits.
The Judge decides that the erection
of the buildings upon the site deter
mined is not nuisance in itself and
the plaintiffs will have an adequate
remedy in proper action in case the
buildings are used in such a way as
to become a nuisance.

Refused to Accept the Favor Because

Violation of the Spirit
of the Law.

only few of the more intimate
personal friends of Colonel Roosevelt
know that his service in the Spanish
war cost him considerably more than
mis- salary as lieutenant colonel of the
rough riders" said a high officer of
the New York Central railroad to me
a few days after Mr. Roosevelt had
been nominated for vice-president in
1900. Il have reason for believing
that In his campaign for governor of
New York he would have been seri-
ously embarrassed financially but for
the timely contributions made to his
personal funds by few of his per.
sonal friends; and l also know that
when he became governor it was with
the knowledge that his official salary
of $4,000 a year and his private in
come would be no more than suffi-
Gent to meet his yearly expenses, If
his household was managed with con-
siderable economy. Ana yet, when an
opportunity was presented to him to
effect a considerable economy in his
personal expenses he did not hesitate
