ANNEX ALASKA
TO CANADA
Idaho Mining Man and Others
Dissatisfied With U. S. Rule
in the Golden North

Mine owners and operators in the
north and south districts of Alaska anc
in the province of British Columbia anc
northern Idaho believe that the purchase
OF the territory from the United State,
by the Dominion of Canada is the onl,
solution of the problem presented in the
northland by the rules of the federal
Forest Service, according to A. B. Mac
kenzie OF Rossland, B. c., who has
important holdings in the province and
territory, who said in an interview in
Spokane, discussing the subject:
"The proposal first mooted by the
people of Alaska, who are dissatisfied
with the government which the United
States has accorded the territory, that
Alaska should secede from the Union
and become part of the Dominion OF
Canada, has assumed serious phase.
IAN agitation has now sprung up in
the province of British Columbia, fomen
ted by Alaska people, for the purchase
OF Alaska from the United States by the
Dominion government, with the view
to creating new province out of it. So
So far as l have been able to learn dur.
ing my numerous trips to the northern
part of British Columbia, which includ-
ed visits to various points in southern
Alaska, the sentiment of the people of
both countries is almost unanimously in
favor OF such action.
"a glance at the map will show the
absurdity OF the present division between
British Columbia and Alaska. Those
who have to do business in either coun-
try experience its inconvenience daily.
Take the town of Stewart in the province
of British Columbia, for instance. It is
almost on the boundary line and in To-
eating the mines which are tributary to
it the prospectors are often in doubt as
TO which side OF the boundary line they

mines. He said that mine fires, such,
for instance, as those at Cherry, ILL.,, in
November, 1908, with its 2e2 lives lost,
and at the Pancoast colliery at Throop,
which cost seventy-three lives, could
easily be extinguished if promptly attend
ed to- He advised that the shafts and
the stables and engine rooms when under
ground, should be Of fre-proof con-
struction. If combustible materials
must be stored in the mines there should
be ample water supply, together with
other fre-fghting apparatus.

are on.
However, this is one Of the least O
their troubles. Once it is determined
that they are in British Columbia they
know exactly what their rights are. Il
it should transpire that the property
they desire to locate is in Alaska they
are entirely at sea when it comes to de-
termining their rights.
Il know men up there who have spent
years of time and thousands of dollars
in the development Of mines in the
southern part Of Alaska who are preveted
from operating them by rules of the
forestry department, which controls the
ground intervening between their hold
ings and the sea-their only means Of
transportation to smeter
There is no disposition on the part Of
the Canadian people to despoil the
United States. If we can not get Alaska
by treaty we do not want it at all. We
simply think that we are capable of
bringing about quicker and more
satisfactory development of Alaskan re-
sources than are the people of the United
States
3. P. spalding, general manager Of
the Monarch Mining company, operat
ing near Murray, Idaho, said the
operators in various parts Of the north
west fully agree with Mr.. Mackenzie's
contentious, adding:
mined for several years in Atlin,
which is so close to the Alaska houndry
line that we were uncertain for a long
time as to whether our claims really Law
in British Columbia. l found the boun-
Diary line serious handicap in the
development of my property and l
wished frequently for it's abolition.
"Since then have met great many
OF my old associates, who have been de-
voting their best energies to the develop
ment OF Alaska. Every one, Of them
now is absolutely discouraged and most
Of them are broke. They ascribe their
misfortunes mainly to the perverted
doctrine of conservation which has OBJ
tanned in that country, and the only
relief that they can see is either com
plete home rule or annexation to Canada.
Personally, believe the latter course
would prove the more advantageous to
them, both now and in the long run.
THE population Of the principal
towns in Alaska now is only about one
third of what it was five years ago. 1t
is likely that cencus of the entire
territory would show a like decline.
Radical action of some sort is needed to
prevent Alaska from relapsing to the con-
ditions that prevailed in the years
proceeding the Klondike boom "
'The only thing that can save Alaska
from relapse to condition approach
ing barbarism is it's cession to Canada,
said E. H. Motif of Wallace, who figures
prominently in the mercantile, banking
and mining lines in northern Idaho.
He continued:
"Of the 10000 inhabitants which the
territory now has, fully 10000 are abor-
igines. The white population is just
about one-fourth of what it was ten
years ago. This alone should convince
the people there is something radically
wrong with the government of the coun-
try, because its wealth in natural re
sources is undisputed.
eff Alaska were given a show, such
as the government of Canada or the
province of British Columbia could ac-
cord it, there would be a marvellous
increase in population and production
in that country within the next few
years. Mining Review.

The Denver Parade.

Probably about $4,000 people
witnessed the great industrial pa
rade in Denver Tuesday. 1t was
the greatest Of the sort ever held
in any Western city. The vari-
Gus products, industries and
scenery of Colorado were repre-
sented by magnificent floats. Ar
vada's float, representing the big
red strawberry, for which she is
famous, made a splendid showing
and created considerable COM
ment. The big strawberry was
placed in the center of the float
and four young ladies, Misses
Nellie Graves, Dorothy Newton,
Stella Wiebelt and Claire Cham
pion, occupied the four corners.
Large signs bearing the follow
ing inscriptions: "Arvada, Dem
ver's Best Suburb" The Home
of the Big Strawberry"were con-
spicuous on the float. Both the
Republican and the Post Of Den
yer contained good pictures of
the Aryada float.

The local Odd Fellows lodge
is giving a picnic at the proposed
sight of the Odd Fellows home
north Of Arvada next Saturday in
order to show the members of
the Denver and vicinity lodges
the advantages offered for the
home at the proposed site. The
question of locating this home is
to be voted on again this fall and
Arvada should get busy and do
everything in her power to assist
the local order in locating the
home out here. If you are an
Odd Fellow attend the picnic and
boost for this location. If you
do not belong to the organization
use your influence on every pos
sible occasion. A home like this
is not to be overlooked by any
city.

A new industry is about to
spring up in Denver according to
one of the dailies in that city.
Some parties have purchased the
only factory Of the kind in the
east and will start one in Denver.
1t is a factory to make onion salt,
on the plan of celery salt we pre-
sumo. 1t is said that it will be
operated on a plan similar to the
sugar beet factories and that
onions will be contracted for, each
season. This will be a great in
dustry and should prove very
beneficial to truck raisers.
