ALASKA

When the resources of Alaska shall have approximated adequate development 1t truly will have won in perpetuity It's claim to be called the wonderland of America. In pie |turesque beauty. grandeur and wealth it already is such a wonder land. Nor Switzerland nor Italy can vie with the mountain scenery of Alaska. No country in the world can equal its lakes and forests, its mighty woodlands and it's imperial valleys, its glaciers, or the glamour of that romance which was wrought by the hardy men who dared this glorious northland and won 1t for our own.
 One day-and that day Is not far distant-Alaska will shelter a teem- ing and prosperous population. Its cities will rival Petersburg, Moscow, Copenhagen; its wealth will make
 the long traverse over modern rail-
 roads and on the flood of mighty
 rivers to its amply harbored coasts.
 In that day the Alps and the Pyre-
 nees will no longer lure our tourists
 to lesser majesty of mountain scenes l-Cincinnati Enquirer.
