WASHINGTON, D. c., March SO'- Fifty years ago today" said Secre- tary Lane last night, Alaska became Dart of the United States.
 We are only beginning to realize how tremendous the service was that William H. Seward performed when he secured for us that great source of wealth. When Seward was secretary of state, few men realized the great potential value of Alaska. Popular impression held it a Snow-bound wild erness, g land of ice and polar bears. Seward felt that the time would come when the wealth of Alaska would astound the world. His judgment to- day is vindicated.
 Opposition to the taking of Alaska was as blind as it was virulent. But after fifty years, actual financial statements show us, and prove con- susively, that to have neglected that opportunity would have been a coios- sal blunder, a blunder future genera tions could never forgive.
 "A moral obligation was one of the primary reasons that led to the pur- chase of Alaska. Russia had given us the passive support of two fleets of warships during our civil war, and saved us from serious indignitieS that threatened from abroad. Russia needed money. We, of course, couid not give it to her outright, but we could let her have it and take in ex- change her barren North American provinces. In the face of storm of protest the treaty was signed and fully ratified; the Russian lmbassa- dor collected $7,2OOO0O from Uncle Sam; and Alaska edged her way into protesting and inhospitab!e demo- cracy.
 "Six hundred thousand square mics of territory, three hundred and eighty-four million acres of land, were bought by our government in 1867 for a little over seven million dollars. That little fier in real estate, at two cents an acre, has brought something more than three-quarters of a billion dollars into the channels of American trade during the past half century. And the profits are just beginning to come in. X Scant 65,00O people are living in that vast country, oue-ffth as large as the United States. One hundred million dollars out of that three-quarters of billion formed their contribution for 1916. What it will be in 2O16 no man can predict.

AIaska's Period of Trial
 Is Over Says Sec. Lane

"The people who are going to AL aska in these days are men with families, people who are going to stay and put their children in Alaskan schools, warm them with Alaskan coal, feed them with Alaskan meat and vegetables, pay their bills with Alaskan gold. Normal industry is forcing the frontier. Alaskans have confidence in the legitimate resources of their great empire. They are con vinced that Alaska's future will be an imposing one.
 "Inaccuracy and distortion of facts caused the faulty impressions that existed in the past; but the handful of far-sighted patriots who have pour ed their millions into American banks and business, the men who have lived the life and who know, are fast in forming the world. Few in number, as were the frontiersmen who opened up the forests of New York and Ohio, but as determined in spirit and resOlute in purpose as were those early explorers, the sturdy pioneers of Alaska have opened up new fields of enterprise, and are today compelling attention.
 Complaints are heard throughout the states that meat in Alaska is scarce and high in price. Let those who 50 complain take comfort in the thought that soon Alaska reindeer meat will find it's way to metropoh- tan tables, and when it does our staple beefs and muttons will find a competi- tor quite worthy of their steel.
 Ut is estimated that one hundred and fifty billion tons of coal lie in the virgin coal fields of Alaska. This coal is gradually appearing in the market. Experts say some of the best coal in the world streaks the giant mountains of Alaska. With these mines opened, with the new gov ernment railroad in active operation, the development of great and rich tracts, both mineral and agricultural, will follow inevitably.
 "The great gold fields of the inter [ for never have been worked adequate fly. Extended the advantages of rail road transportation, mine operators will soon be able to increase their output materially. Gold worth $16,- | 900, 900 is mined each year in Alaska under present conditions. The value of the precious metal taken from Al askan mines since the early eighties has amounted to more than two hun dred and eighty-fve millions. A paltry seven million and few odC thousands was grudged for the entire territory only fifty years ago.
 Copper mined last year brought between thirty-fve and forty million

EARL SMITH SENT
BACK TO ROURKES
Star 0utfielder to Be Dropped
Off in Omaha by Chicago
Cubs Friday.
MAY PLAY AT FIRST BASE

Earl Smith, last year the class Of
the outhelders of the Western league,
was yesterday returned to Omaha by
the Chicago Cubs, to whom he was
sold last fall.
While lot of local fans believe
Mitchell pulled a boner in returning
Earl and keeping such men as Mann
and Flack, Omaha is glad to see
Smith come back, because he will be
big aid to the Rourkes.
There is a chance that Smith may
play first base for the Rourkes this
year. Rourke said yesterday if
Brokaw lives up to EXPECTATIONS in
left he might try Smith out at first
He believes Earl would fill the posi-
ton in a most capable manner, as he
has always been good on ground
balls.
Whether Smith will return to his
old spot in left or play first depends
upon Brokaw and Henning. Which,
ever goes the best will be retained
and Earl probably will play the other
position. If both men deliver the
goods Rourke may have to find an
other job for Smith.
Smith will arrive in Omaha Friday
with the Chicago Cub second team,
which will on that day play an ex-
hibition game with the Rourkes. He
will be dropped off here.
Rain yesterday caused cancellation
of the game between the Rourkes
and Creighton.

STATE GOLF MEET
TO BE AT LINCOLN
For the First Time in History
Classic Will Not Be Played
in Omaha.
EXPECT LARGE ENTRY LIST

For the first time in its history the
Nebraska Golf associations champion
ship tournament will not be played
in Omaha. The Lincoln Country
club is the place and June Is is the
time selected for this years classic.
The number. of entries will deter
mine the length OF the tournament. If
She entries equal last years there will
be two qualifying days beginning
Monday. II less players enter the lists
the tournament will not start until
Wednesday.
II is an admitted belief that Omaha
golfers will not respond 10 the tourn-
ament call in such large numbers as
they have in the past. Fifty will COM
prise this city's delegation this year,
it is thought. But Lincoln's entry lists
will be enhanced, as will the groups
representing the out-state towns.
which heretofore have sent only one
or two players.
Frank Hale OF the Metropolitan as
ISOLATION wants to form. new board
OF control and will call meeting
for that purpose. He also believes
that the excess cash in the treasury
ought to be used TO buy trophy
bowl, which would be played for
annually.
Those present at Tuesdays meet

"PeCk" Griffin, Tennis
Champ, Visits in Omaha

Clarence ]. (Peck) Griffin, with Will
liam Johnston, doubles tennis cham
pion Of the United States, is visiting
in Omaha. Griffin is engaged to an
Omaha girl, Miss Marian Kuhn.
Griffin will not defend his title this
year. His business will not permit him
10 engage as actively in tennis as in
the past, so the championship team
of Johnston and Griffin has dissolved.
Johnny Strachan, who won the clay
court championship in Omaha several
years ago and formerly Griffin's part
ner in the doubles, will play with
Johnston this year.

 Little Rock registration officials re- ported that their work in preparing the duplicates is well under way. An exact and minute system of checking up will be employed throughout the work, and when the final counties have been completed a full record of every man between the ages of 21 and 31 in each county will be on file at each county seat, and complete rec ord for the entire state in the Mill tary Department.
 Expense Comparatively Small.
 The expense of the work cannot yet be estimated, but compared 10 it's volume it will be proportionately very small.
 In Little Rock and In Lee county reports have already been made that there was no expense connected with the work, and that all supplies, etc, were. donated, and all work done vol. untarily.
 No information has been received either by the United States district attorney or by the United States mar shal of any violation of the selecive draft act in this federal district Not even report of the failure of any person subject to draft who had failed to register has reached either official Investigation is being conducted by the marshal to ascertain if there have been any violations. In case of ar rests a special Grand Jury will be summoned by Judge Jacob Trieber, and those indicted, if any, will be tried by the court without delay.

lO2,383 WHITES,
 44,475 NEGROES
TOTAL OF 14e,856 IN ARKANSAS REGISTER FOR MILITARY
 SERVICE.
Little Rock


 Only 40 hours after the close of registration Gov Brough telegraphed the president the full official count of registration in Arkansas, totaling 147,- 522 men. The estimate for Arkansas, issued from Washington some time ago, was approximately 158,000.
 The last of the 13 counties which had not telegraphed complete returns was received when Phillips county, where there had been wire trouble. sent in it's totals Fifteen minutes la ter the report from the state of Ark ansas was on it's way to Washington over the wire. An early report from the Associated Press showed that the report had been received.
 The report shows total of 102,- SS3 whites registering and 69,945 who may be exempted; 44,475 negroes, 29,25t who may be exempt; 56 aliens, and 9S alien enemies. As the aliens and alien enemies are not at present subject to draft, the report shows a total of 47,6s2 men eligible for the draft, and not claiming exemptions.
 Not All Sought Exemption.
 Military officials explained that the term "claim exemption" is not prop erly applicable to the 69,945 white men and 29.251 negroes. Many of these did not claim exemption The list includes men who have depend ent relatives, those who are physical ly unfit, those who may be needed in other lines of work in addition TO those who actually did claim exemp- tion.
 The governor expressed himself as highly gratifed by the large number registering in Arkansas, and also tt the speed and efficiency with which the county reports had been handled.
 Officials in the Military Department tabulated theG in columns by coun- ties. The next step in the work is the compilation of duplicate registry cards which will be filed in the Mili- tary Department A filing case con- taining 360 boxes in which whites, aliens, alien enemies and negroes can be kept separately by counties has been arranged in the Military Depart ment preparatory to receiving and filing the 147,000 cards.
