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
to Boring sea and the Arctic ocean, The most
important product is gold of which the output
In 1908 was valued at more than $40 ZOO, 900.
Fisheries rank second, and the salmon packed
in 1908 had value in excess of $10,000,00O.
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-p 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 a few mining camps,
are utterly lacking and the total railway mile
age does not exceed $780, 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-
velopment would have been impossible.
Alaska does not have territorial
form CT government, though during the past
few years it has had delegate in congress.
Called a territory by courtesy, its anomalous
standing for years that OF a customs dis
trict. 1t has executive and judicial officers
appointed by the president and the senate,
! but no legislature; all legislation is by con-
gress.
| The United States geological survey recog.
nizes four main divisions Of the surface OF
Alaska. These are:
! Cd The Pacific mountain system. which, In
southeastern Alaska is a continuation of the

west to the Mount Mckinley range, and then
swings sharply to the southwest, with pro-
longation far into the Pacific ocean, repre-
sented by the Aleutan islands.
(2) The central plateau region, which in
cludes most of the Yukon and Kuskokwim ba-
SINS
(3( The Rocky Mountain system, which
hounds the central plateau region on the north
and northeast.
az The Arctic slope to the northward OF
the Rocky mountain system.
The Pacific mountain region Is character
lied on the coast by innumerable fords and
lnlets, by deep inland passages and mountains
which rise thousands of feet almost straight
m from tide water. In the interior it culmi
Mates in Mount Mckinley. the highest point

very little level land in this region, especially
! In the southeastern part. The mountains are
great masses of rock and the upper parts OF
them are covered with perpetual snow and Ice.
On the coast many glaciers reach tide water,

The central plateau region is not so much

area is nearly great as that OF the other

In one of the largest cooper shops
of Milwaukee, Wis, you can find a
man who has been at his trade only
five years and has every man in the
shop and every man in the history OF
the shop beat several lengths with
his daily barrel record. He sets up
covers, and completes 100 barrels
day. For him speed and accuracy
are not so much a matter of will and
eEey: as of daily habit.
