WILLIAM SULZER OF
 NEW YORK IS A SEWARD VISITOR
GOVERNOR SUIZER IN THE EAST HAS PROVED HIMSELF A TRUE FRIEND OF ALASKA TYPICAL SOURDOUGH RETURNING HOME FROM PROTRACTED VISIT TO INTERIOR

the Interior ,on account of transpor- tation costs, but this situation is not expected to prevent quantity produc- tion when transportation is secured
 "This is my nineteenth trip to Alaska" continued MT. Sulzer, land perhaps few people have seen as much of Alaska as I have in the past thirty years. Years ago, said that Alaska was Gods country and the wonderland of the world. For health, for beauty, for scenery and material resources, it is the greatest country on the face of the globe. It could easily support a population of fifteen million. The trouble in the east-especially at Washington, D. O., is lack of knowledge concerning the possibilities of Alaska, and what ought to be done to develop her re- sources and bring people to Alaska to live
 "Alaska is one-ffth the size of the United States. Put the map of Alaska over the United States and Alaska will extend five hundred miles east of Cape Hatteras; five hundred miles north of St. Paul; five hundred miles west of San Francisco ,and five hundred miles south of New Or leans. Alaska is the land of mag nificent distances. Few people real ize this. To illustrate what I have said, the distance from Havana, Cu- ba, to Etah, Greenland, is but two thousand, nine hundred and sixty three miles. The distance from Cape Chacon in southeastern Alaska to | Point Barrow is three thousand and two hundred and forty-one miles and there is more difference in the eli mate of Alaska than exists on the Atlantic coast. How few people know this. It speaks for itself. There are really three Alaska's, namely South eastern Alaska, Southwestern Alas ka and Northern Alaska-all empires in themselves-and each different in climate, vegetation, and natural re- 1 sources" ~./
 MT. Sulzer praised the work of Col. Landis, and said he was just the man for the railroad job, and that every friend of Alaska should get be- hind the Colonel and help him in every way possible,
 The great Governor of New York also commended Col. Steese, and had nothing but good words for our Dele gate, Dan Sutherland, both of whom are his personal friends.
 T am glad," said MT. Sulzer, Ito be in Seward again. It is one of the finest cities in Alaska-the gateway to the North. If I wanted to make money in real estate, I would buy lots in Seward and watch Seward grow. Seward is only on the thres- hold of her progress and prosperity. With her fine harbor, salubrious cli- mate, magnificent scenery; and sur rounding country, rich beyond imag- ination in natural resources, Seward is destined ere long to become one fthe great cities of our Pacific coast.
 'I am just as much of a friend to Alaska today as ever have been," said MT. Sulzer. T have large inter- ests in different parts of the terri tory and I am going to stick to AL aska in the future as in the past. The people of Alaska can always depend upon me to do my share to secure Alaska her rights, to promote her welfare, and to protect her interests"

In a letter received on the last boat from William D. Coppernoll prominent attorney of Seward, and recent candidate for Attorney-Gener al, MT. Coppernoll states that he is in Chicago, and is an active unit in the Coolidge campaign. MT. Copper noll's letter follows:
 Chicago, Aug. II, 1924 MT. Hal. SeTby,
 Editor, Gateway"
 Seward, Alaska.
 My. dear Selby:
 For the past three months I have done very little in correspondence, even with my own relatives. My time has been taken up with my daughter who has been seriously i'll. However, 1 have thought of you of ten, and have been about to write you many times, but something has always happened to put it off. Wrote to Harry Hoben a short time ago, that l would write, and as I am in the mood today, shall write you a few lines.
 Inasmuch as you will probably be more interested in matters political, will try to give you a line as to how things are lining up on the Nation al campaign. I did not get to the Cleveland convention. However, thru the courtesy of John Troy and Ex- Governor Riggs, I was able to attend three sessions of the Democratic con- vention. For more than two weeks it was attended by constant confu- sion and chaos. At no time during this two weeks was there any candi- date who could muster even a ma- jority of the delegates. It was any body's fight up to the 103 ballot. Now, as conditions are being given free rein, it appears that the nomi- nee of this convention is not any too popular. In my opinion, John w.. Davis will not get to first base. All that he can possibly expect to get is

Former Governor Wm. Sulzer, of New York, one of the old-time AL askans, and familiarly known thru out the territory as "Sourdough Bill, was popular figure on "Main St." most of yesterday-as he greeted old friends.
 The ex-Governor served in cong ress for twenty years, and needs no introduction to the people of Alaska. In fact it may well be said that he is one of us, as he has frequently been in all sections of the territory and has always been regarded as one of the active supporters of everything that tends to the development and prosperity of the north. He was long associated with his late broth CT, Chas. A. Sulzer, who served as territorial senator and delegate to congress, in the operation of big copper property at the town of Sul- ger, near Ketchikan. During the time the Governor was in congress he did much for Alaska by way of con- structive legislation, and was regard ed as Alaska's best friend.
 MT. Sulzer has just returned from the Chandalar mining district In that section, Governor Sulzer has large mining interests on which a certain amount of development work has been done during past years. These properties were examined by MT. Sulzer, with the idea of outlaying work on more extensive and per manent basis.
 It is the great aim of MT. Sulzer to have a government railroad built in to the interior, and he has been la boring with congress and the Alaska Road Commission for some months past, with that end in view. Last winter he gave his personal efforts, to assist Col. Steese, Delegate Suth- erland, Col. Landis and others inter ested to prevail upon congress to make a liberal appropriation for roads and trails in Alaska, for the coming years. It is the confident be- lief of Governor Sulzer that the min eral resources of the great interior country will develop and expand to an extent that will warrant the ex- tension of the Alaska Railroad to the White River and Chandalar districts.
 Governor Sulzer predicts that with the greater development of what is undoubtedly oneof the richest gold and copper districts in the world,with transportation, will furnish susten- ance and industry to a million hardy people. There will be cattle people and agriculturists, who will supply food stuffs to the people living in the large cities of the world. Wheat, oats and barley can be grown in the great valleys of the Panama, the White and the Chisana to greater advantage than anywhere else in the world, to say nothing of hagdy vege- tables like potatoes, turnips, rutaba- gas, carrots, onions, cabbages, eel cry and cauliflower This is on ac- count of the soil and climatic condi- tions.
 "You may say this is Alaska en- thusiasm on my part" said the gov ernor, "but the things I said about Alaska quarter of a century ago are true today, and every one of my pre- dictions now, will come true in the next quarter of a century.
 Alaskan mines have had diff culty in operating successfully in
