in North America. Alaska has sss.44s square miles Of territory more than sSS,s4s,445 acres of land--and the greatest fishing wa ters in ali the world, teeming with the best food fish on earth.
 Alaska is Gods country. She is over twice the size of the German empire; 14 times the size of the state of New York: and has more copper known today than Michigan and Arizona combined. she is one fifth the size of the entire United States; has paid for herself five times over in money actually collect ed in Alaska and deposited In the federal treasury. Alaska was pur- chased from Russia for s7,2O0, ,O00, less than 2 cents an acre, and has produced in gold and silver alone more than 2s times what she cost the cheapest bargain In land in the annals of time.
 Alaska has known eoal-bear- ing area larger than all the rest of the coal-bearing area in the United States. Alaska has the greatest cattle and sheep ranges now in the north, and agricultural possibilities beyond the imagination of the finite mind--a mighty empire is Alaska that welcomes heroic man.
 Alaska has a tremendous coast line. The coast line of the United States on the Atlantic, on the Gulf. and on the Pacific is a little less than 5000 miles. Our coast line in Alaska, from Cape Chacon around to Herschel Island in the Arctic Ocean, is over 2O,OOo miles. '
