 ssidered to be a barren waste, especially when most of the west. ein part of the United States was unexplored and unpopulated. We are able to realize why Russia would accept $7,20OC00 for ter ritory which she believed to be an Arctic waste. At the time of it's purchase, the informations as ,o Me, extent of the territory. or it's resources was so limited that is is, very doubtful if those who pas- ticipated in the ceremonies on the day of the transfer, appreci- ated their full significance or re alized that vast empire was transferred from one government to another.
 Would Be Different
 We know that if the transfer were to be made now, it would be the occasion for a nation-wide celebration, and we should ex. pect to have the highest off. cials of both countries present to conduct the ceremonies with splendid fornidlity. In contrast tt this, it is of intereA, to note the simple ceremonies which tooK place

The represents, tive of Russia, Prince Maksout. off. with his guard appeared and both parties marched to this spot where the Russian flag was fly ing.
 Flag Is Raised
 "On enc side of the pole were arranged the representatives of Russia, one of the most autocra- tic governments in the world on the other side the representatives of the United States, the grcatst democracy of all time. At sig nal from the Russian. commander, the flag of Russia was hauled down and in few moments the Stars and Stripes were raised in its place. With these simple ceremonies the United States as sumed possession Of Alaska, and now after 60 years this marble shaft and bronze tablet have been placed to mark the spot where the. transfer was consumated.

 "The first Russian settlement was made near the present site of Sitka in 1799. Three years la. ter the garrison was driven out and the fort destroyed. In 1905 a new fort was built on this site.
