Alas ka's Wealth.

The territory of Alaska has yielded to
its owner, the United States, $206, 600, 900
in mineral wealth; in fish and furs this
bleak possession has yielded 1922, 71O, O36
and it has paid directly into the United
States treasury 1872, 461 in cash. Adding
the tribute of fisheries, furs, minerals
and cash, the people of the United States
have within forty-two years taken $444,-
102, 500 out OF Alaska.
This territory was bought from Russia
in 1867 for $7,200,0O The figures of wealth
yielded in return for this investment,
according to the testimony of Delegate
James Wickersham before the committee
on territories on March 20 last, were
supplied to him by the treasury depart
ment. Costing but s7,20O,000, and an av-
erage of 100000 annually for the main
tenance of its government, the territory
has returned to the Uniter States $40 900, =
900 year. Its people now petition the
government to enable them to conserve
for their own use its vast and yet I'M
developed resources. They want to gov
ern themselves and ultimately, to achieve
statehood. The Nation has always taken
tribute from Alaska, while retaining its
own wealth for itself and its individual
states. Why not now give Alaska a
chance.-GNew York Times.
