The ALASKAN OPPOR-
TUNITY.
W.-SociaI Development.
By Frederic J. Haskin.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Conditions in Alaska have made it a
home for men of stout hearts The
project of pushing into the frozen
north and of wrestling fortunes from it
has not appealed to weaklngs Also, it
takes money toe.g+t to- Afasfra and to
enter into any of the pursuits that are
likely to yield profits So ii has hap
pened that only fit men of courage,
power and resource have survived in
the northland.
The conditions under which these
men have lived have given a peculiar
twist to their social life. The miners
have been the real developers of
Alaska. and these have been scattered
throughout its great expanse in small
groups Frozen ground and darkness
have. in most camps. made it impossi-
bic for them to work through the win
ter. This long idleness has given an
opportunity for drinking and gambling
that has, however, played a much more
prominent part in fiction than in the
real lives OF these men But it has
developed some peculiar social condi-
tions.
There was, for instance Liars Island
in the klondike region of the Yukon
Seven men were here working a mine
until they were frozen i'll for the win
ter. They organized story teller's
club. Certain nights were set aside for
the telling of these, and the yarns for
d given occasion were to be of a gen
eral class. One night they would have
to do with the sagacity of animals,
again with narrow escapes. or the sub
ject might be snakes. The reputation
of the seven as story tellers grew to
such an extent that neighbors came
forty miles over the snow in the dark
to hear them. The story telling idea
spread and became an institution in
many camps.
