cynic of Napoleonic days, the Prince
OF Talleyrand, was wont TO say
Beware of first impressions; they
are nearly always right" Whether
in principle this be so or not, the
first impressions that the casual
wayfarer gets Of Alaska are so
potent as TO promise to be endur-
ing. We are apt to smile at the
travelling foreigner who, after six
weeks sojourn in the United States,
writes 3 book on the discovery of
America, and yet how few Of US
ourselves have discovered America,
and how much even that passing
foreigner can tell US of our own
land, Surely the United States has
grown so greatly, not only physical
y, but in its relative position in
the world, in these later years, that
we Americans really find it difficult
TO adapt ourselves 70 the greatness
Of our own land. In the world Of
politics and Of finance, the United
States has assumed, by reason OF
recent events, 50 extraordinary a
situation that few of US can rea-
lie its consequences and can rid
ourselves Of the concepts Of older
generations as to our supposed iso-
lation.
II the ordinary man in the street
were questioned as 10 whether Alas
ka were an island or whether il
was contiguous 10 the United States,
I opine that the large majority
would show complete ignorance on
the subject. We are said 10 be q
travelling people; yet, upon the East
ern seaboard, great numbers OF
those belonging 10 the so-called in
telectual classes know little or moth

confined their travels TO occasional

But what Of Alaska, its land and
its people? To one who arrives
without having conned the books Of
statistics regarding gold and fish
cries and fur-bearing animals, yet
whose ignorance has left his mind
open TO original impressions, Alaska
appears q glorious land of sea and

fault of good press agents, is surely
the land of the unknown and one
cannot resist feeling that one has
delayed too long seeing this gorge
Gus country of sea and mountain.
Surely nowhere such effects of in
finite grandeur, of combination of
sea and crag and mountain, can be
found.
And then again, what of the peo-
pie Of this land, this last American
frontier? We can, indeed, never
forget the impression of hospitality
amiability and energetic self-con-
idence everywhere to be found. The
older world of Europe is undergoing
