nds today, as of fold, with a silent longing, longing for those who will come, discover her store of wealth and return it to her again. These will she love and to them unfold her secrets.
 No place on Earth offers the opportunity to youth and man. hood to start clean on the road to success as does Alaska; no place is so reeking with temptation to lure the weak mind to destruct ion. It is cruel and inflexible. Tn ere are no half Way measures:
 There are two classes of peo pie working out the destiny of our country. One is the Pioneer, i'll spirit if not in years, who cur ses but loves her. who, though unaware of it, is giving his best to the country. Then there is the other class those whose sole Du rpose is 10 prey on all and su1d ry under the guiSe of friendship, and finally, when his i'll gotten gains have mounted to satisfying proportions, to go away and Spe nd elsewhere the profits and for get his debt to the country.
 When happy medium is strucK; when the predominant class consists of men whose wis ion beyond the end of the nose is not so hay; who will help inst cad of exploit their fetIowmen THEN will Alaska cease to be the Frozen North" and become a land of golden prosperity, justify ing the faith of those who love her.

 Up to the present time the wealth taken from the Territory is a mere atom compared with the wealth still lying undeveloped The enormous natural resources of the country are, as yet, scare ely tapped and an immense store of wealth still lies in it's bosom while towering mountains and raging rivers guard jealously the secret of it's existence until intre pid man shall come to wrest from them the boarded treasure.
 In spite of over one third of a century of searching through it's fastnesses; in spite of the hordes Of men who have rOamed over it's mountains and through it's valleys In.~ ~I%n rugged, old land of mystery and silence; still hostile to those who steal her bounty and go away; still dealing death and destrucL ion to the unwary but nourishing and keeping those who uDderst and her and who live in sympathy Wi5h her eternal spaces.
