Home Rule Again
After giving a brief outline of tbe !
history of Alaska since its purchase by i
tbe United States in 1867, Pierre Mar- 1
chon, writing in the February number
of the Alaska-Yukon magazine says:
There are but two objections to full J
territorial government for Alaska. One
is lack of permanent population, and
the other is tho immense area of the I
territory in which it is claimed there j
are necessarily adverse and conflicting '
interests. In reference to the first ob
jection there is in Alaska today nearly i
forty-five thousand people. Five thous
and persons came out at the close of
navigation last fall. Many of them are
bona fide residents of Alaska that come
outside to escape the rigors of the
winter, just as a well-to do citizen of
the United States might go to Florida
or California to spend the winter. But
even admitting that ten per cent ol
Alaska's population is not permanent,
certainly the oth<jr ninety per cent
have some rights, and all qnestions of
vital importance to them deserve due
consideration. Alaska is truly a large
country. It. is bigger than all the
states of the Union t hit border the,
Pacific occan, but Alaska has many
rivers, and every river is a highway.
Our idea of distance is to a great ex
tent a master of education. In the pro- 1
vincial East it is as far from the farm
to the market place as it is in Alaska
from the towns to the mining camps. I
There may be a great difference in
miles, and it may require a long time j
to make the journey in Alaska, but in
that country of vast proportions aud
great distances a jo-urney of a few hun
dred miles is a mere incident in (he or- ;
dinary affairs of life. With the prog
ress made in aviation in the last few
years it soon may be possible for resi
dents of Point Barrow to make a flight
to Juneau as quickly as we can journey
from Seattle to Chicago.
In view of these facts here sub- 1
milted L believe that Alaska ought to
have full territorial government. 1 be
lieve it is entitled to territorial govern
ment, and ought to have it- quickly be
caur-e it will not be many years before j
Alaska will be knocking at the doors of
congress and asking for admission to
statehood. There is another phase of
this question that 1 have not discussed,
and that is the possible attitude of j
Alaska corporation interests toward
home rule, i am not going to discuss
it, because I don't believe we aie going
to adopt the methods of Russia when
it turned Alaska over to ttui Russian
b'u-r company.
Knew the Company
Rogers, t be poet, used to relate that
Samuel b'ootc^the dramatist, being one
day taken into White's by a friend who
wanted to write a note, and being left
standing in a room full of persons of
quality who were strangers to him,
might be supposed to feel not quite at
bis ease. Lord Carmarthen, wishing to
relieve the actor^ presumed embaiass
mentv earn*; up to speak to him; but,
being himself rather shy, could think
of nothing better to say than, "-Mr.
Foote, your handkerchief is hanging i
out of you pocket;." upon which, Foote,
looking suspiciously around, and bur
riedly thrusting the handkerchief back
into his pocket, gravely replied:
"Thank you, my lord:, you know the
company better than ldo.'?

T ake Notice of Alaska
Though the constitution seems not
to have followed the flag to Alaska,
public attention has followed the
mtickrakers, and Alaska is getting
more advertising than ever in its his
tory. This time it is the kind that will
result in permanent good because the
United States is learning that Alaska
contains something besides placer gold,
salmon, ice and snow, says the Valdez
Prospector.
Much of the information dispensed
has been inaccurate and much of it has
been misinformation. The muckrakers
have hit no facts except that Alaska
ha9 the greatest coal deposits in the
country outside of Pennsylvania, and
perhaps greater than that state con
tains. But muckrakera have started
the metropolitan newspapers to dig
ging Into government reports made by
men who have been on the ground and
the news and editorial writers have
learned that Alaska has not ouly miu
eral resources and fisheries of fabulous
value but agricultural possibilities as
well, and that its climate is uo colder
than that of the northern states. Some
of them have thrown away the cut of a
polar bear sliding down a glacier iuto
the sea, which they have been running
occasionally as a typical Alaska scene.
it is true, as the corporation agents
reiterate, that Alaska^ white popula
tion has not increased greatly during
the decade now closing, and the federal
census will show it, but the population
of the territory outride of t he placer
camps will show a percentage of in
crease greater than any state. The
placer camp population has declined
because no new bonanza camps have
been discovered in the past half a
dozen years, while the old ones are de
clining, but the southern coast and coal
and copper districts have just begun to
be peopled. Watch these districts
grow daring the next ten years with
the newspapers and magazines of the
land advertising them free of charge.
Klondike has been roused to a storm
of protest over interviews given the
press of Canada and the United States
recently I ?y Albert J. Beaudette, for
merly employed in the miuiug depart
ment of the government of the Yukon,
in which be is quoted as saying pros
pecting is a thing of the past in Yukon,
the prospector is a rare bird in Yukon,
and the Yukon Gold company is the
only outfit washing gold.
