 ONE OF THE SERIES.
 II have discovered new world" This is the way that Frank G. Carpenter begins his article, which is illustrated with photographs taken by the author. Tt is the world of Alaska It be- longs to you and to me, and is part of Uncle Sams big farm. We have had it about so years and have never realized the wealth under our feet.
 "phe discovery on my part, reminds me of the Hindu who was devoured with great lust for diamonds. He lived on q small farm upon the plateau of the Deccan. He sold his farm that he might hunt these preci- ous stones.
 "He travelled all over the world and spent lifetime in the search. At last he returned home to learn that the diamond mines of Golconda, the richest In the world, had been found on his farm.
 And so for almost life time l have travelled through. foreign lands seeking strange things to write about and 1 now find the strangest right here in my own country, and almost under my feet"
 A splendid beginning is the above. It grips, it holds the reader. It is beginning that , makes the reader who has never seen Alaska want to read and reread every line of the article that appears this week and all of those that are to follow. Mir. Carpenter then tells of when he came into the country of how different he found conditions here from what he anticipated. He tells of the tremendous size of Alaska.

 MT. Carpenter states that the officials on the Alaska coast sur vey vessels on which he spent some time, informed him that the. Alaska coast line, with its .Windings, is larger than the girth of the world at the equator.
 "I spent two days steaming from the Yukon up the Tanana river from Fort Gibbon to Fair banks. That river flows into the Yukon. It will be cut by the new railroad now being built. It has wide valley as long as from Philadelphia to Pittsburg.
 The noted author then tells of the wonderful rivers of the ter ritory,i He then describes the magnificenceo f the mountains. he says:
 Before I investigated the country thought it was almost all mountains, and had no idea that there were millions of acres If lowlands and high rolling llains, There are some places in Alaska where you can travel for miles without seeing a hill.
 Mckinley, which kisses the sky over 10000 feet is the tallest mountain north of the Isthmus of Panama, and it will be easy of access to tourists when the new railroad is finished"
 And so he goes on. A bit here and a bit there, always hsort, concise, to the point, working up a world of interest, setting the minds of millions of people to work on the wonders of the great north.
