HAS A LOVE FOR ALASKA

The Qunicy (Il.) Daily Herald says :-General William L. Distin, the man who has served as surveyor general Of Alaska for agreater number ot years than any other man liv ing, arrived i'll Quincy Thurs day afternoon and is now at the home of his daughter, Mrs, L. E. Enmons, Jr., at 2304 Maine street, for a visit. He will be InQuincey for some time to visit his old friends. and then he will make a trip on which he will visit Chicago, Cincinnati and Washington. While he has no definite plans for the future other than that of enjoying a well cared vaca- ton. General Distin will in course of tiWe return to Alas ka.
 Alaska is the adopted home of General Distin. He was in business in Quincy and his rel afiyes reside here. The Gem City naturally will always have a warm spot in his heart and when he makes the trip here, he is always glad to do so, be- cause of the ties that draw him. After sixteen years of service in Alaska, a country of wonder ful resources which he assisted in developing, that country will always be his adopted home.
 General Distin believes i'll Alaska. He has seen it's great possibilities. In a chat with a representative last evening he said that every American citizen who can afford to travel should make it his duty to visit Alaska. "See Alaska and the United States first before sec ing other countries" is his ad- vice. "The principle reason why Alaska has not developed still more than it has, is be- cause the great mass of Ameri- can people know nothing of u. They imagine it a great waste of snow and ice with no other possibilities than mining and fishing" If the American people would visit Alaska, many would return 10 that country to stay. The country needs people more than anything else to car ry out is slogan, "Develop Alas ka."

 he ground of cost. but even ually the motion prevailed and he Street committee was en- covered to put on the neces- .arv men tG care for same and see that it iS put where it will 10 the most good. In addition to this the regular bills for the month were allowed and war rants ordered drawn for same. Some of the couneilmen are advocating the purchase of a 'ock crusher for the purpose of sing crushed rock for street work, and the probabilities are that such will be done this coming summer so that perm anent work on the streets may be begun. The first cost is higher than plank. but once in place a rock street will last for ever.
