later.

in the East. l do not say that from
prejudice, but because 1t Is q fact A
two-year-old child born and bred in
Alaska IL superior, mentally and
physically. to one of the same age al.
most anywhere else. It is, l believe.
due to the splendid climate and out
door life which they all lead out there.
And how patriotic they are. How
their little chests swellwhen they sing
their Alaskan songs. Somehow. the
things which 60 to make patriotism
seem to mean more to them than to
the majority Of American children.
One point in particular which Mrs.
Strong brought out IL of unusual In
terest. whichever way you look at It.
Alaska has had its own legislature
but little over year. And the first
bill which was passed by that body
gave to the women of the territory the
right of suffrage. 1t was granted prac-
tically without being sought. No
movement existed then. or does now.
which could properly be termed q
suffrage movement They just passed
the bill. that's all. Since then several
women have held onices. such a. mem.
bership on the board of education and
other similar places. And in every In.
stance they have warranted the trust
and responsibility reposed in them.
But a. for q movement 1t doesn't
exist"
Seventeen years ago Governor and
Mrs. Strong first went prospecting"
I'VE were among the 10000 who
rushed to Dawson when the gold
fever broke out" said Mrs. Strong.
Then in 1899 we went to Nome,
where we lived for several years.
Once, in 1906. we left the country, de-
termined never to return. But we
were back in a few months. 30 strong
had our love for It grown.
In the years we have lived there
we have travelled over most of Alas
ka. Two trips. especially. 1 recall.
One we made when we first entered
the country. 1t is what is known a.
the interior trip of the Yukon-over
wild mountain passes. behind dog
teams. whipsawing our lumber for
rude craft when We came to the
streams. II was . trip through tn.
primitive. with obstacles on every
hand. And yet. I can recall no cir.
cumstances which struck me a. a biz
adventure at the time. One takes the
days as they come, overcomes what
obstacles appear and keeps on.
THE second trip we made when the
governor had been in ONCE but q
short time. It was over the same
trail. But, oh. what q different trip!
Along the mountain passes in we'll.
equipped trains. and on the rivers In
the palatial Yukon steamers. II was

1t Is but natural that included In
her great love for the country should
be a deep interest in the natives of
the country.
Il am afraid that in the case of the

Is but repeating itself. With the COM

America, fresh from the wonderful
task Of constructing the Panama

wreath when she accomplishes the
construction Of an Alaskan railroad
such as is proposed. But to US 1t
also means new hope. 1t means new
life. and new life at this time repre-
sents the most essential requisite of
the territory. Alaska needs popula-

give US.
