PICTURE ALASKA
 0F THE FUTURE
Portland Oregonian Editor Sees Wonderful Possibilities
 Of the Territory.

| Olc Ol lnc HlOSl interesting and optimistic editorials ever written about Alaska is contain ed in a recent issue of the Morn ing OregOnian, of Portland
 The writer pens a beautiful picture of Alaska if the supposed change of the Japan current is permanent. The Oregonian says:
 Mature seems to have favored the United States in it's acquisi- ton of Alaska. Politicians have exploited it, mercenaries have plucked it, and theorists have tried to bottle il, but steadily with the years nature has unfolded it's wealth and disclosed to an as tonished world it's grand proper ties and possibilities. Now it's au- riferouS sands have yielded up ungueSSed treasures; now it's colonies of seals have laden con- mcrce with valuable peits; agaIn it's fisheries. have given returns in excess of all expectation, and, yet again, and more wonderful than all, the possibilities of az riculture within it's great eXpansc have been established, while it's unmeasured timber areas and undelvrd coal mines suggest q national opulcncc that. in COL temptation, SurpaSS the dreams of avaricc.
 And now comes a report of a sOftening of the Arctic into the North Temperate zone temporal ture along the coast through the shifting of the Japan current in- shore, due to d cOnvulsiOn of na- ture whereby islands have been erupted into the North Pacific. April is recorded at Skagway, with 1 little or no snow on the ground --climatic conditions that have never before, so far as the rec ords show, prevailed in that far northern city, to account for which the theory of the shifting inshorc of the Japan current, due tO seismic disturbances of the ocean bed, has been advanced.
 Whatever the cause, the effect noted is magical, and if pcrn'L-. ncnt will effect the entire pcnin- l Sula. The great, bare uplandS of the Yukon river, carpeted with wild flowers in greatest variety 1 and prOfuSion in the short sum- mer and piled high with snow in the winter, will become product i've grain fields, pastures and gar den tracts dotted with homes and s.'li,".ls md c:i"rchcS. stock i'll dustry and poultry raising will become profitable and the drprn- l dcnce of the citizens of Alaska upon more southern lands for the means of subsistence during the long twilight of the year will cease. HOmcsteading on the great plateaus of the wonderful peninsula will develop from a vague possibility into a certainty that will furnish an abiding place for thousands; the clutch of con ScrvatiOn will loosen it's hold up- on the forest and coal fields, and from the inhospitablc silence of the shadowy land known in the gcOeraphies of the past genera iirn as "Russian America"--a iI vaguely known at that--an cm- pire of surpassing beauty and fertility and of boundlcss re- sources will be evolved.
 Mature holds the key to this vast domain. It's surrender to the forces of civilization and de- velopment has been demanded and slowly, in her own gracious way, as is her wont in moving in any direction, great nature is yielding to the sway of man."

possibly was connected with the rob-
berry Of the Branch bank of Montreal
at New Westminster, B. c., where more

open the safe of that institution.
While this suspicion Is founded on
mere conjecture Lounsberry was
absent from his home at that time and
was supposed to be in western Can
ada looking at timber claim.
An effort is being made to ascertain
the whereabouts OF Lounsberry when
train on the Southern Pacific sRs
held up last winter near Yoncisaia.
Oregon. Lounsberry accounted & his
absence at that time by saving he WAS
going to northern California to inssss-
tigate a quartz claim.
Lounsberry is prosperous ranoser

in Denver cafe, is hanged next
week, no newspaper reporters will be
present and he world may not know
about it for a week.
Thomas lyman, reform warden OF

Of the candidates for the democratic
nomination for governor Of Colorado,
announced tonight that If he had to
hang Wechter, he did not propose to
furnish the newspapers sensational
copy in descriptions of the affair."
lyman has consistently opposed
hanging Wetcher. He pleaded per
sonally with the state pardon board
to extend clemency and when this
was denied, appealed directly to the
governor. He is against capital pun
ishment but says that, if it is so de-
creed that ths law must take its
course, the hanging must be secret
and Wechter must be allowed to die
quietly and not be forced to make a
Roman holiday for the newspapers
Governor Shafroth announced to

unless some new evidence is produc
ed, Wechter must hang during thu
