above an earlier level has resulted in stream
cutting, which obscures its original plateau
character. 1t is in the extensive valleys and
on the adjacent slopes of the Yukon, Tanana
and Kuskokwin rivers and their tributaries
that the interior forests reach their best deVel
opment.
The Rocky mountain region is a compare
lively narrow elongation of the Rocky noun
tain system of North America, and stretches
across northern Alaska nearly from east to
west The mountains of this region reach a
considerable though in no case noteworthy
height. On their southern slope head many
streams which empty into the Yukon; those
on the northern slope empty into the Arctic
ocean.
The Arctic slope region, lying north Of the
Rocky mountain region, Is composed Of roll
Ing tundras in which truly Arctic conditions
prevail. 1t has been less explored than any
other portion Of Alaska.
In many places In the interior the post
glacial s1lts and sands form an excellent soil,
and upon them whatever future agriculture
there may be in Alaska will chiefly be devel-
oped.
The climate of the southern and southeast
ern coast region Of Alaska Is mild and wet.
The annual precipitation at Juneau and Stka
is from 80 to 80 inches. At these points the
precipitation is chiefly in the form Of RAIN and
summer are there likely to be days when rain
does not fall. In the mountains Immediately
above tide water however, the snowfall is
very great. This increases to the northward
and at Valdez a winters snowfall of nearly
sixty feet has been recorded. The lowest tenn
perature on record at Sitka Is degrees F.
below zero, and the highest 81 degrees. At
Juneau the lowest record Is 10 degrees below
zero, and the highest SO degrees. The Sitka
temperature is but little cooler than that of
the northern part of Puget sound or of Scot
land.
Sharply contrasted with the climate of
southeastern and southern Alaska is that of
the central plateau regions of the interior.
The Pacific mountain system cuts off the
warm, moisture-Iaden ocean winds so that the
interior has a semi-arid continental climate
subject to sudden changes and great extremes.
Satisfactory records are lacking, but such as
are available indicate an annual precipitation
In the Yukon valley Of about fifteen inches,
including melted snow. AS low as 80 degrees
F. below zero has been registered In winter,
and in the summer as high as SO degrees. The
summers are short and comparatively hot;
the winters long and intensely cold.
Despite the low temperatures and long win
tiers Of the Yukon valley, there is ordinarily
a good growing season of at least three
months During much of this time daylight Is
almost continual, and growth Is rapid. This
compensates In marked degree for the short
ness of the season; and since the evaporation
Is not great the vegetation is by no means OF
an arid character, Notwithstanding the small
precipitation. The frozen subsotl is practically
impervious to water, which accumulates In
poorly drained areas and causes the many
swamps and "muskegs."
The diferentiations between forest types

are as sharp as those be-
tween the topographic
and climatic, and, Of
course, depend upon them.
The coast forests of south
ern Alaska are the north
ernmost extension of the
coast type of Washington
and British Columbia. The
interior forests are an ex-
tension of the interior Ca
madam forests. The for
ests of the Susitna and
Copper river basins are
somewhat intermediate in
character, since these riy-
ers rise in the interior
and break through the

of representatives OF various branches OF the
national government The permanent nonu
lation at the present time is estimated at some
10000 whites and $4,000 natives: about half OF
the latter are Eskimo In the region adjacent
togBering sea and the Arctic ocean. The most
important product is gold, of which the output
In 1908 was valued at more than $40 100000
Fisheries rank second, and the salmon packed
in 1908 had value in excess of $4,000 0O0
Most of the internal Improvements Of
Alaska have been made by the war depart
ment. The telegraph system is constructed
and operated by the signal corps, with offices
at all important points. Transmission depends
not only upon cable and land lines, but on
high-power wireless stations as well. Roads
are built chiefly by the corps of engineers of
the war department. Railroads, except for
short lines running out to few mining camps,
are utterly lacking, and the total railway mile
age does not exceed $50. Transportation in
summer is by steamboats, on the larger
streams and by polling boats on the smaller
ones; in winter, by stages where the roads are
good enough and more generally by dog
teams Alaska has 1000 miles Of navigable
rivers: without them most Of the present de-
ve1opnent would have been impossible.
Alaska does not have even territorial
form of government, though during the past
few years it has had delegate IN congress
Called a territory by courtesy, its anomalous
standing for years was that Of customs dis
trict. It hae executive and judicial officers
amounted by the president and the senate
hut no legislature: all legislation is by con-
gress.

the south slope OF a gorge above Ket
chikan showed 235 rings. The diane
ter of this stump outside the bark was
38 inches. A 40-inch Sitka spruce
stump in the same locality had 230
rings. This tree had been 125 feet
high. Near Wrange1l three Sitka
spruce logs averaged 80 inches in d.
ameter at the butt inside the bark,
with 262 annual rings. Two examples
of extreme age in Sitka spruce were
noted in Portage bay between Peters
burg and Juneau. A section Of log
81 inches In diameter taken 25 feet
above the ground had 600 rings; an
other log 81 inches in diameter 8 feet
above the ground had 525 rings. Both
were entirely sound.
Logging in southeastern Alaska
employs the crudest of methods. 1t
is now carried on entirely by hand,
though logging machinery was used
in few earlier operations. Only the
best spruce trees ct the edge Of tide
water are cut. The logs are frequent
ly made the entire length of the tree,
and are lacked up and rolled into the
water, where they are tied into RATS
and towed to the sawmill by tugs.
The annual lumber cut in the coast
forests of Alaska is about 100000
board feet. This consists almost en-
tirely of spruce, since hemlock is but
little used. There are about 25 saw
mills on the coast, at Cordova, Doug
las, Juneau, Kataila, Ketchtkan, Pc
tersburg, Seward, Sitka, Valdez, Wran-
gell, and other points, most of them
rather crude in character and of small
capacity. A large proportion Of the
output, probably more than one-third,
is used for salmon cases, and much Of
the best lumber goes into them.
The southern and southeastern
coast of Alaska has much greater
timber supply than there is any rea-
son to. think will be needed locally
for long time to come. The perma-
nent Industries of the region are fish
ing and mining. The mountainous
character of the country will forever
prevent agricultural operations of any
magnitude The total stumpage is
large, much of it overmature, and the
proportion of hemlock too great. The
timber should be cut and utilized as
