much time was thus spent in discuss sion and referring things to and fro that the man who wanted to do some. think tired of waiting and left Alaska to its solitude. Thus the Northern territory is being strangled by bu- relucracy more cruel than that of the czars at their worst.
 Not only Alaska. but the whole Pa cific Coast. in fact the whole west, Is interested in this matter. If the coal and oil'of that Territory were develop ed, they would be added to the fuel supply and would lower the price both for the cities and ships. Great herds of caribou and reindeer could be raised to increase the meat supply. The Coast needs the help of AlRska IS much as Alaska needs help. By the consideration which .hey have secured for reclamation. Western Congress- men have proved that. when they unite they have power.

, MISREPRESENTATION
 FOR ALASKA

We hear much about self-determin- ation for Egypt, Ireland. Armenia, Syria and other countries, but why not self determination for Alaska While the death battalion has been illuminating about the wrongs of those distant peoples it has had nothing 70 say of the wrongs suffered by Amer jeans in the far n<rth. though they, as the last of the pioneers, should have a superior claim.
 When the gold discoveries of the Klondike. Fairbanks and Nome and the copper discoveries of Copper river drew tens of thousands of men to AL aska, it was hoped that mining would be the precusor of development of all the other wealth of the far north The miner has ever been the forerunner of the farmer, the cattleanan. the fruit grower. the lumbeiman, and the manu- lecturer bringing in their train the full organization of civil life So it was tn California, Oregan. Idaho, Montana and Colorado. So it would have been in Alaska if the government had done for i. what was done for the states mentioned.
 But soon after Nome was discovered the Conservationists appeared on the scene. and they got Q grip on Alaska which has not yet been broken. The , territory with authority to decide any thing except thae settlers should not be permitted to use the fand Any body who wanted to tie up anything found a ready ear at Washington. The big game hunters won protection for the great brown bear of the Alaska peninsula in order that they might have the pleasure of chasing and kill ing him. But if any body of men wanted to develop coal mine or an oil well or to cut timber or to improve q harbor by building wharf. tine cry of corporation" or "landgrabber" was raised. and they were bounded by in vestigators and inspectors. Authority over Alaskan affairs was so finely df- vided among many bureaus at Wash

TO ADVERTISE ALASKA

Bureau officials at Washington are ito be warmly commended. says the Railway and Marine News. for the decision that a large. sum is to be ap- in no other manner can the travelling public be attracted. This has been
 amply proved by the many American and Canadian steamship lines operat- ing ito and from Alaska, who have collectively during the past twenty years expended three million dollars in advertising the scenic attractions and industrial opportunities of tfc Northland. Naturally one cannot ex- peot to hear that the government would appropriate a proportionate sum annually for any such purpose, but any expenditure in the populous cen- -ters of the Eas. cannot fail to attract attention to the Territory and at the same time it will be helpful to .he Ter ritory in many other ways. The creates. care, however, should be used by those who prepare these advertise ments, to prevent any rush to the
 North of indigents, 1aborers, or others not possessing q small amount of cap- ital with which 10 provide for their own needs otherwise the government would be greatly embarrassed in hav- ing to send a ship north to bring sue, people out.
