Alaska is the last great body of natural resources left to the citizens of the United States. A great politi- cal fight is being waged around it: it is an immensely rich territory and is coveted by big flnanciers. Senators. representatives, governors are being dragged into the scandal of its pos sible spoilation.
 What is Alaska? It really never has been interpreted so that all of us could grasp its full and immense meaning. There is only one writer who can do" Alaska in this way. That writer is Rex Beach, who is now preparing for Hampton's a series of extraordinary articles on the terri tory. They will begin in an early issue and will describe the exact con didons .n our northernmost province today.-Hampton's Magazine.
