President Itooaevelt addressed 3,000 enthusiastic Alaskans Saturday evening. He showed a familiarity with Alaskan conditions that was remarkable. In the course of his speech he said, "Menof my a^e ? III not lie old men liefore we see Alaska one of the rich and populous states of the union." The president committed himself to a delegate in cOOgrm, and at one iwlnt indicated that a regular territorial gov ernment would have to precede a state government. He also intimated that at some time he would visit Alasku. President Uoosevelt and party ai rivetl at Seattle from Everett at Ml o'clock Saturday evening and rushed ai once to the Grand 0|>era house, which was crowded to thedoors with Alaskan-' and their friends. Alfred G. Daly, deputy district at tor- i ney for Alaska during the second I leve- 1 laud administration, long a resident of ? Juneau luit now of Nome, presented the president with a gold pan in :> ' sumptuous address in behalf of thi Arctic Brotherhood. He invited the president to visit Alaska and presented | him a liook of passes on every northern hue bound in gold. The presentulion seemed to please the president im mensely. At the close of his address, which was delivered from the stage, the pres ident requested the Alaska committee to brine their presents to him at the Washington hotel Sunday morning. The committee waited on the president j at his hotel early yesterday afternoon and received a pJivate audience from him. The president expressed himself a-> being pleased to uvail himself of the invitation to visit Alaska soon. He said he would bring with him and sul> mlt an application to join the Arctic Brotherhood. The president received a few other visitors yesterday afternoon;in the even ing he took a horseback ride to Fort Lawton. He returned to his hotel and at 11:30 o'clock last night he started eastward. Tb? Sp??oh la Fall The president's speech to the assem bled Alaskans at the Grand opera house Sat unlay night was, in full, as follows: I confess that I am (or a moment ? little surprised at the aspect of so many Alaskan pioneer*. I knew that In the immediate future Alaskk would become a highly civilized continually, but I did not know it liad already be come mo. Seriously, let ine thank you and the member* of the Arctic Brotherhood for this greeting and these gifts. I am harpy to say that during the lata year 1 or two the national legislature ba? be gun to realize *he responsibility with reference to Alaska, and that even those of our people who Jo not dwell gb the Pacific slope are l>egluniug to under etaud that in the very near future Alaska will lw not merely a regularly organized territory, but <T great and populous state. Alaska lies in the tame ! latitude as, and cau. and will In the life time ( f those I am now addressing, sup |>ort as great a population as tho Scan ' dinaviau peninsula of the pld world. It U curious how a fate has often driven us forward as a nation toward great - ner-s, in spite of the protests of many who esteemed themselves in training and culture best titled to shape the na tion's destiny. In 1803, when we ac quired territory strutehlng from tho Mississippi to the' Pacific, there were plenty of wise men who announced thai , we were acquiring it mere desert: that it was violating the constitution to ac ' quire it. unJ that the acquisition was j fraught with seods of disaoiutiia for the republic. "Think how absurdly tho evi nt falsified ' tho predictions of these men! (Applause.) And so when, in the late '60s, by' treaty, wo acquired Alaska: this great territory; this terri tory with unfathomcd possibilities was taken in spito of tho bitter opposition of many men. who were patriots accord ! ing to their light*. and who ?*8te tned thornsc! :ua iar-?igi)(ed;'iOaii,v men who i held w-- were doing ouraelviM .ind th . nation wrong, by acquiring uer-lto-.\ which is now the one po?: ion upon which we pride ourse'v. s ,'uost. Anil but a few years r~ut ioo, t hero wore excellent meo v l.?? bemoaned tho fact that we were 0' iscd during our war j with Spain 'to . k'' po? session of the Philip). ines, an !? *U ?>* . that we were hereaftt r to b' , uc of 'he dominect powers of the Hacille. And In every instance after h~se evco.s of history 1 have fiUsifiod ? tie- . ? predictions of men of little faith. W hen I sp?ak to you of the Pacific slope: to you of of the North west and tlx- new Northwest: to you, whoa; cities are seated here by the Hound, I speak u> |*eople al>ounding in youth and verile manhood; people who do notfear to grasp appori unities as op portunity comes and who woigh slight rink but lightly In the balance, when on the other side of the scale, conies greatness of triumph, greatness of eon quest, greatness of aequisltlon. We took Alaska venrs ago, and at last we have begun to wait 6 up to the horltage that thereby we handed over to our children and children's children. And now I speak to vou. citizens of Alaska! People, who have we to say how much all our pt-ople owe to you! Poring the last year many wise laws have !>een passed upon the statute books in reference to Alaska. Not as many as there should have been rut there, but a good many. I earnestly hope congress will s|>ccdily provide a delegate from Alaska, so that the peo ple In the territory may have a recog nized exponent, whos.- duty shall -be to place your needs In-fore the national legislature. Meanwhile, with the as sistance of s?nator- and representatives from this section of the country, I shill d > ail that iu inc lies to see that the proper types of legislation, the proper kinds of legislation aro enacted' for the territory. Vho immediate cuike of great developments In Aloska, of course, is found In mines, but most, of the people of this country are wholly In error when they think of mines as being all or even the chief pcrinacoot cause of Alaska's future greatness. Alaska hat untold possibilities, the ag ricultural and pastoral department re ports show that not only minrs. tlsher ' irs and fur-, but ngr'cultmv and stock ruiaiug i omh'iic to in.iko A.iu.ka one of the great wealth prul'icing am: inan producing portion- f nr.epublh and 1 am anxious that la * s - liould b> framed, r.ot in the inter- J' of t! one whi ) wish to slciu the country and then t< 1 leave it, but in the interest of thos. who iutund to live then and stay there ard brlr.g up children there n J make it in every part as well as name, an in tegral part of this reput lie.
