TEE TRUTH ABOUT ALASKA

''l'he tfnth is good enough,' is saying often used and in no case is it more applicable than in the case of Alaska, her re- sources and the shameful way they have been ''conserved" to to the point of stagnation.
 The trip of the Eastern pub lls hers and the Presidents representative, which has just been finished, will serve to make the truth known thro- the length and breadth of the land both to the ad- illustration and the people gen. eraIly.
 No greater service could have been performed for the terri tory and those interested in it than this, to have brought these people to the country and to show il 10 them as it is. Alas kans are inclined to criticise Seattle and her people and to cnrp at whatever they do, and say they would rather be let a. lone to manage their own af- fairs, but this is a genuine ser- vice that has been done for them which they could nok pos- is sibly have done for them selves 'and if the results are anything like what we expect for them all concerned will be amply re- warded.
