be exhibited, and there will probably be
competitive throwing of lines by the fisher
men, The halibut lines are several miles in
length and there are hundreds of hooks on
a single line. The lines must be cast so that
the hooks lie on the bed of the sea, and
they must be drawn in without tangling.
Ketchikan is the chief station of the light
house bureau and wire drag service, and
there will probably be government exhibit
of the latter, showing the vessels in action.
Leaving Ketchikan, the next show will be
at the town of Wrangell, where the marble
industry will be featured, and following thar
will be quartz carnival here at Juneau.
The latter will be worth coming to Alaska
to see. Juneau is in about the center of a

of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and
personally conducted by veteran "Sour-
coughs" The towns are preparing to hold
celebrations from one to three days dur
alton, on dates that will not conflict and
will allow of participation by the excursion
lists. These celebrations will be in a circuit,
so that instead of one show there will be
a long chain of wonders, each featuring its
own locality and furnishing the visitors an
opportunity of viewing the mammoth in
dustries in actual operation.
The excursions will probably be two in
number, and one will be twice as long as
the other. The first will take 80 days and
the second about 90 days. the latter includ-
ing tour of the Yukon trip across Boring
sea and visit to the Aleutian Islands. 1t
will be somewhat similar to the excursion
of 1913, which covered a distance of 1894
miles, or more than the diameter of the
earth at the equator. That party included
many prominent business men, a congress
man or SO, a dozen newspaper correspond
ents and personal representative of Presi-
dent Wilson. The party of this year will
be many times as large. 1t is expected that
it will have delegation from congress and
representatives of all the government de-
partments. A personal representative of the
PRESIDENT is expected to be part of it, and
there will be representatives of business in
terests from all sections of the country The
first excursion is expected to leave Seattle
about June TO- 1t will be the shorter of the
two, and its tour will practically be con-
fined to southeastern Alaska The second
will leave later, and its travels will embrace
the greater part of the territory
The first of the Alaskan celebrations will
be at ketchikan: This port will be reached
in two or three days from Seattle, the whole
journey being made through the inside pass
age. The ships will cross Puget Sound,
sail for several hundred miles along the
shores of Vancouver Island, and pass Prince
Rupert, the terminus of the Grand Trunk
Pacific railway, on their way north. After
crossing the Portland canal they will be in
Alaska, and, few hours later, in the Bav
of Ketchikan. The show here will be an ex-
position of the fish industries of the terri
tory. The catching, canning and curing of
salmon will be shown by visit to the erea1
canneries and cold storage plants. The Wis
.itors may possibly see the salmon jumping
the falls on their way up the streams to
spawn. The wonders of halibut fishing will

-SS-,12 made the treaty with KuS-
S@SHSSs3 STA by which this vast
territory was ceded to us for S7,Zoo,Ooo IN
gold. The treaty was executed at WASH
ington in March, 1867, by William H. Sew
ard, our secretary of state, and Baron Sto-
eckl. the Russian ambassador; and 1t was
at Sitka in October of that year that we
took formal possession of the country. Since
then Alaska has been United States terri
tory and it has grown in wealth as rapidly
as any part of Uncle Sans domain.
There is no better real estate Spectator
than the American government Since It's
organization, when it had bought its lnde-
pendence by the war of the revolution, II
has made half dozen land purchases, and
on each it has netted many thousand per
cent. The first was Louisiana and the great
northwest. That included all the land be-
tween the Mississippi and the Rockies, ana
we bought it of France in 1908 for Sl5,ooo,-
600. 1t is worth tens of billions today. The
next purchase was Florida, a state which the
assessments show is now worth more than
S5OO,OOO,OOO' James Monroe bought 1t OF
Spain for S5,0O0,OOO. That was in 1879, and
it was 20 years later that Texas came into
the Union and sold us its rights to parts OF
New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas for $lO,-
100000.
1t was in 1916 that we acquired the Ore
gon country. by treaty with Great Britain
and in 1848, we bought California from
Mexico by paying her an indemnity OF SIS
100000 Today the assessed valuation OF
California is more than $3,OOO,OOO,OOO, and
that is not one-half what the country IS
worth A little later Franklin Pierce bought
another slice of Mexico for 100000, and
the purchases ended in 1867 with Andrew
Jackson buying Alaska. These territories,
so acquired, comprise more than two-thirds
of the whole United States, and they cost
us less than the warning nations of Europe
have been spending every day. Altogether
they are worth hundred billion dollars and
upward, and they will increase in value as
times goes on.

Since we took possession Alaska has been
steadily growing in prosperity and wealth
1t cost us only cents an acre, but at the
time Of the transfer Seward was denounced
for making bad bargain. The country was
referred to as "Polaria" and "Icebergia,
and was nicknamed Stewards Icebox" and
the Nations Folly" The purchase was
looked upon much as it would be if Admiral
Peary should offer to sell the government
section of ice of equal dimensions about the
north pole.
AS to the actual amount we have already
received from Alaska, it is today consider
ably over 5000, 100000, and there is scarcely
an industry in the country that has not pro-
duced many times its original cost The
minerals alone have netted something like
$3OO,OO0,O00, the fish over 2OO,OOOOOO, apl
the furs and skins more than ten times %he
amount we paid for the territory. We have
received more than $5O,OO0O00 out of the
seal islands and something like 100000
from the furs of the sea otter. We have re-
ceived an equal amount from the furs OF
animals caught on the land, and the beavers
and muskrats have altogether yielded about
100000.
AS to the present income from the ter
ritory, it annually amounts to over eight
times its original cost; or in other words,
the investment is now paying annual divi-
dends of something like 800 per cent. In
1915 the output of copper was just twice as
much as the whole sum we paid for Alaska,
and the gold mined that year was worth
100000 more than the copper. Last year
we received from the fisheries three times
as much as the purchase price, and the trade
of the territory amounted to over $75,000-
900, or to more than 10 times what the whole
country cost
The Alaskans are proud of what has been
accomplished, and they are going to cele-
brate their fiftieth anniversary by worlds
fair This fair will be different from any
ever held by any nation or in any country
1t will be commemorative of Alaska's fiftieth
birthday, and will takesits place among the
