K AMCHATKA: ALASKA'S
POOR RELATION.

The kamchatkan peninsula and the
Siberian country between it and the
Arctic ocean have attracted interna-
lease to syndicate Of Americans for
the development Of It's natural re-
sources. This region is a sort of half
sister to Alaska, which was also once
Russian territory.
Alaska, the more comedy sister,

the family Of the wealthy Uncle Sam.
and has had life rich in excitement
and adventure. kamchat ka, the more
hOmely sister. remained under the Rus
sian roOftree on the west side OF
Boring sea, and has lived In seclusiOn.
Kamchatka and the country north
to Boring strait contain a large area
Of tundra or Arctic plains soft, spongy
morasses during the few months of
summer; frozen, snOw-cOvered wastes
in winter. In the higher land impene-
trable underbrush springs up in sum-
mer. What little travel is possible at
this season is done on the backs Of
sturdy ponies who must wade up the
shallow streams or plOd through the
sticky swamps. In winter travel Is
| easy. Teams Of dogs and reindeer
whisk laden sledges over the frozen
surface of the streams and across the
snow Of the tundra at rate, under
favorable circumstances, of Is miles
or more day. Trails that are virtu-
ally highways are beaten down by the
teams Of the natives bringing their
furs-the chief present resources OF
the country-to the trading posts.
In the summer the curse of the
moist regions of the north strikes the
Kamchatkan country: swarms OF
mosquitoes and flies thicken the all
and make life miserable for all liv.
ing things. The nomadic natives flee
with their herds Of reindeer to the sea
coast, where the breezes give some re
lief.

The false principles were

Give Him a Chance.

Hundreds of thousands of foreigners
have been fiocking into this country
since the war. Millions more VIII
seek entrance in the years to come.
Whether or not they will become
good citizens and eventually good
Americans Will depend as much upon
Us as upon them.
They come TO us in comparative
ignorance of American manners,
customs and traditions. They will
learn principally that which is taught
them by others.
If they fall among the minority
element that disparages law and order
and good government it will not be
surprising if time finds many of them
allied with that class.
But if they find the kindly and
paternal hand Of the government
outstretched to greet and guide them
there is every reason TO expect that
they will develop into good and
valuable citizens.
Some effort is being made to en-
tighten these immigrants upon their
arrival in the United States, but it is
only beginning and the end is too
quickly reached. II can hardly ac-
complish the fun purpose for which
ii is designed.
A more comprehensive and detailed
course of instruction in the duties of
American citizenry and business
activity should be provided every for
eigner who lands upon our shores in
future years, and not one of them
should be sent out into the hive of
American industry until he has ac-
CURED clear understanding of the
opportunities before him and of the
duties that develop upon him.
