AIosha Has Tempe,ute Climate


 Alaska is not as some people imagine a frozen isolated foreign field. The Territory has many varieties of climates as can be found in the Eastern and Middle States controlled largely by the principle mountain ranges and by the warm Japan Current, which has the same effect on the climate of Alaska the Gulf Stream has on the climate of Great Britain Ireland and Norway
 It is not possible to judge the climate of a country by looking at map to see how far it is north Of the equator. When many people in the United States, who more less acquainted with the inhospitable coast of Labrador, find on map that the bulk of Alaska lies north of Labrador they appear to conclude that the conditions of life must be infinitely worse in Alaska and that stories and Sap-stck motion pictures of it's ice and snow must be true; yet many interior towns and villages of Alaska with their mines, electric lights farms and all the comforts of modern life. are situated more than fifteen hundred miles north of New York and three hundred miles north of the southern tip of Greenland at Cape Farewell!
 The permanent snow and ice fields of Alaska are situated on the mountain slopes, as they are in the Swiss Alps and a very small percentage of the total of the Territory. A large portion of Alaska has a temperate climate
 Coastal Ports Always Open
 Alaska is not isolated from continental United States any more than the State of California or Maine. In 193o, 3654 vessels cleared from the United States and foreign ports for Alaska and from Alaska for the United States and foreign fields 3,345 American steamship lines with headquarters at Seattle, Washington, operate between the United States and Alaska ports alternating daily on reg ular schedule year in and year out.

The Conquest ot Alasha Fur

From the dawn of Alaska history to the present endless stream year after year from the wild reaches of the Territory through frontier towns and trading posts to Seward, United States furrers and world markets.
 In the year 1728 the specter of fur ured Vitus Behring Danish captain in the service of the Old Imperial Russian Government to the dis covery and naming of St. Lawrence Island and the realm of Alaska His suspicious reports to the Rus sian Czar at St. Petersburg of "the great and lying east of Siberia teeming with valuable fur bearing animals fired the imagination of the Russian ruler and his and in 173o the Russians, Michail Gvozdet and Ivan Gedorof set sail from Siberia and reached the coast of Alaska near Cape Prince of Wales forming the basis of Russa's claim to owner ship of northwestern America Glowing tales of wealth in furs reported to the Car from this expedition, authentcatng the previous reports of sia stretched the roof of the world to paign of conquest

 Rapid Communication
 Alaska is not cut off from communication with the rest of the world Cables telegraph wires wire less stations and radios render daily service through out Alaska. The Seward Daily Gateway and the Seward Weekly Gateway spreads the news smultan- eously with the papers in the large cities of the United States All parts of the Territory have reg ular mail service day after day throughout the year and nearly all sections of Alaska are served winter and summer, by large, costly arpanes
 Not Foreign Land
 Contrary to the provisional opinion of some shippers, Alaska is not foreign field. Purchased from Russia by the United States 1867 for $72o0. ooo it is highly organized American territory with a Legislature consisting of Senate and House of Representatives The Governor is appointed by the President. No federal duty tariff or tax is as sessed upon merchandise imported from or exported to the United States.
