today looking forward with the same enthusiastic foresight for future development Seward had wher he made the original purchase Just as Stewards opposition in that day declared the country was worthless, there still those today who feel be- cause of distances and. isolation Alaska can never be more than valuable possession of Uncle Sam Almost any American history will reveal that many people in the East thought the thing about the Oregon territory at its inception and for long afterward. It long ways away by ox-team, but today paved roads and air lines serve it.
 Alaska's destiny will be the The old west, the frontier is gone; only Alaska remains for major development. The throngs are bound to come and the Territory, Russian America will become State Thanks to the foresight and business acumen of William Henry Seward the man who had faith enough in it to sit up until o'clock in the morning to close the deal.

SEWARD'S NIGHT PURCHASE

Conservatively figured Alaska has exported min- era, furs fish and other commodities in the value of two billion dollars in the last 69 years since America purchased it from Russia for what was then considered the exorbitant price of S7200000 Not a bad investment But, unfortunately, William H. Sew ard Secretary of State in President Johnsons Cabinet who actually closed the deal alive witness how his Stewards Folly" has paiG dividends and Monday Alaskans pause in tribute to his memory and the occasion when he signed the treaty making the famous purchase.
 Seward, if history holds true, was not who cared for regular hours. Night time for him as good as day if something of moment to be at tended to. That or perhaps differences in time counts for the fact that the Alaska purchase was made in the night time Negotiations closed between the late hours of March 29 1867 and am. of the following day, March 30. The Secretary was at home in his residence in the national capital play ing game of whist that memorable evening historians tell us The deal for Russian America as it was then known, had been pending for some time On this whist playing evening the Russian Minister announced at the Seward home with an important message.
 T have dispatch from my government by cable, he said. The Emperor gives his to the ces- sation of Russian America Tomorrow will come to the State Department and We will enter upon treaty"
 Here Seward revealed his qualities for acticn bt 1t day or night eaca ..
 Why wait?" he asked Let us begin with tho treaty right now"
 Through the hours of the night they dickered the Yankee trader and the Russian seller The Russian s price was ten million and Seward countered with an offer of five million The in-between offers and counter proposals probably will be known but here were good traders deal" so they probably were many and varied Finally seven million dollar figure reached with a reservation The Russian Fur Company held franchises privileges that would have to be bought off Seward offered S2OOOO0 more for clear title and the Alaska purchase was made. With approaching dawn of Saturday March 30 1867 the treaty signed and Secretary Seward had bought something
 What time he had convincing the United States Senate it was something worth the price
 "An inhospitable wretched and God-forsaken re- gion the opposition labeled the country Seward nad Just bought. Less than two cents an acre was the price but they argued it was too much It was Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations who came to Stewards support and finally won ratification of the treaty on May 26 of that year On October l8 of the same year the United States formally took possession at Sitka then the capital

-ANDON UNCONTESTED, LEADERS STUDY RUNNING MATES
NEW TEST NEAR
FOR WEIGHTS

F. S. Holbrook, co-chief OF the
division of weights and measures
of the National Bureau Of Stand
ards, today invited state officials
to make use of a new $4,000 test.
ing device the Twenty-sixth Ma
tional Conference on Weights and
Measures expects to put into serv.
ice within the next two months.
So advanced has been the stride
of commerce ahead of law en-
forcement agencies, Holbrook ex.
planned, that close scrutiny Of
large capacity scales and other
weights by officials has been prac.
tically impossible. With the in.
PRODUCTION of the cruising equip.
ment, the Bureau of Standards
will, for the first time, be able
efficiently to check on commercial
enterprises.
Assistant Secretary of Com
merce Ernest G. Draper pointed
to the dependency of the De.
partment of Commerce upon
weights and measures experts in
protecting the producer and con.
sumer against INSCRIPTIONS prac-
tees. He said the nations bust
ness wholly depends on close SUI.
pervision of weights by State Off
Gals.
Loopholes through which VIC
lators evade Government specifi-
cations will be discussed today
and amendments will be made to
the model State law adopted by
the conference IL years ago.
A comparison will be made be-
tween American and British
standards in an address by r. j.
Trump, England's Board of Trade
weight expert.

PARLIAMENT

LONDON, June II G.N.S0.
Almost in tears, j. H. Thomas,
who resigned as colonial secre-
tary during the official inquiry
which found him responsible for
Britain's budget leak scandal, to-
day announced his resignation
from the House of Commons.
In a personal statement preced-
ing parliamentary debate on the
leakage, which caused a rush for
insurance covering income and
tea tax increases just before the
budget was announced, Thomas
again denied he was conscious Of
having revealed budget secrets
and said he would not contest
his seat in a by-election.
The former cabinet minister,
almost sobbing, then bowed to
the Speaker Of the House and
slowly walked out.

REP. MARTIN GETS BOOM

l"Joe" was Representative Joseph
Martin of Massachusetts,, who is
the Landon floor manager.
The galleries were packed for
a change. At the preceding quiet
sessions they have been only
sparsely populated, the visitors
realizing that the fireworks would
not come on the first two days. To
day they looked for action.
Almost at the same hour that
the Landon opposition was breath
ing its last in the hotels a few
blocks away, the convention was
assembled and singing America"
and listening to an invocation by
Bishop Joseph SchrembS of the
Cleveland Catholic diocese.
Chairman Smell said:
'Your chairman is informed
that the resolutions committee
will not be ready to report until
2 p. m"
Martin Cheered
The Massachusetts, delegation
gave Representative Joe Martins
name a big hand. Martin was
elected by the delegation here in
place of John Richardson, who
was defeated in the Bay State as
a convention delegate when he
ran as an anti-Landonite. Martin
is the Landon floor manager.
While the routine business was
being accomplished, word spread
rapidly through the floor of the
momentuous happenings of the
morning; that Knox had with
drawn, that Borah would not per
NIT his name to be presented that
Vandenberg had released his SO
votes from Michigan, that Dickin-
son had given up, and so on. The
delegates chatted over these de-
velopments and paid little atten-
ton to the sonorouS voice Of
Colonel Gleason.
