many thousands of other people in the
old world and the new.
Many people have q better knowledge of
Alaska and what 1t offers than aver be-

have been widely discussed and critically
examined. The result has been beneficial.
Many myths AVE been exploded: the
mists of untruth have been cleared

Its agricultural possibilities are beginning
to be appreciated. There are probahlv
100000 acres Of land suitable for agri-
cultural purposes: there are millions OF
acres adapted for, cattle raising and dairy
