THE SPELL OF ALASKA

"The spell of Alaska falls upon every lover of beauty who has voyaged along those far northern snow-pearled shores with the violet waves of the North Pacific ocean break ing splendidly upon them--or who has drifted down the mighty rivers of the interior which flow, bell-toned and lonely, to the sea- Ella Hig- ginson says in her book about Alaska, and she goes on to speak of the differing impress sion received in different parts of the country. In some parts "one sinks to a passive delight and drifts unresistingly on through a maze of tender lovli- ness. Nothing irritates. All is soft, velvety, soothing. Word less lullabies are played by shades of blue, rose, amber and green; by the curve of the sat in waves; by the mists, light as thistledown and delicately tinted as wild rose petals, into which the steamer pushes lei surely; by the dreamy poise of seabirds on white or lavender wings high up in the golden at mosphere; by the undulating flight of purple shadow, tiptoe, through the dim fjords; by the lap of waves on shingles, the song of birds along the wooded shore, the pressure of soft winds, the sparkle of the sea.

 In 1917, 7061 sealskins, valu- ed at $221, ,830, were shipped from Alaska to the United States against 2,884 skins valu ed at $115,360 in 1915, an in crease of 145 per cent, in the number of skins shipped in 1917 compared with 1915.

ALASKA SCROOLMA'A ANS

Why does a schoolma 'am who possesses a bright smile and a winning personality be- come more precious than pearls, once she becomes a resi- dent of Alaska? While no ac- curate figures can be obtained upon the subject it is estimated that the chances of an attrac- tive schOolma 'am marrying an attractive Alaskan, Is about 100 per cent, once she lands in this matrimonial bureau. In a majority of cases 1t takes ur- gent pressure by the school board to induce the young la dies and young men to post pone their connubial bliss until the end of the school year in order that Minerva will not be sighted. The schoolma 'ams God bless 'em) have furnish ed good wives for thousands of Alaska's bravest and brawn- jest men, and the Alaskan sup ply is apparently inexhaust- ible. The States turn out the teachers and Alaska turns out the husbands. And this mix ture and brains and brawn rebounds to the future of the Territory. All women are beau tiful, but statistics show that out of 6791 teachers who have come to Alaska for the purpose of teaching the young idea to shoot, 6791 have very soon be- come attached to some genus homo of the vintage of '98. Dressmakers in job lots do we'll in Alaska, and clerks and sten- ographers are quoted at par, but one good-looking school ma 'am can cause a stampede that-lays the Klondike rush far in the shade.-Valdez Prospec- tor.
