OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALASKA.
.
Th‘-re are t\v • great opportunities ,
which have l,oii opened to the west ^
.iiiij in which Alaska will shale in a «
large degree There* are the European l
war and the Panama-Pacific Interna- ,
tional Exposition X.t only has the ,
European war created a demand for
the mim ials which Alaska holds in her ,
u’M t mineral belt are onl> awaiting
liie tune when capital shall he applied
to then development t.. meet the <
growing demands of th** nation, hut «
when the great battles have been i
fought and peace rest -red in Europe *
thousands of tl . ♦ who haw suffered j |
tin- reverses which are incident to
grc 'l social cataclysms will seek the t
l *nd of peace and plenty where they
can secure homes and they and their
children - n escape th* thraldom <t t
militarism Thousands f families of I
the classes witc h are f the material t
ipon which • snot < mmonwoalth can '
i*e built will s**ek America, and Alaska i
now is the most inviting field for such,
offering' th# greatest Inducements for 1
the home seeker and those who would i
seek to make a new start In life 81'<1
provide fur the future of their offspring
Herein will the European war benefit
Alaska lint there are other benefits
which will accrue to Alaska lasting
benefit which will be more rapid and
perhaps just as valuable in the course
of her development as the opening of
mines and the establishment of homes
thruugl ■ ut tiie terrltoi v and which
will most certainly stimulate the de
velopment of our natural resources ami
the settlement of the territorv by a
teeming population prosperous and
contented people and that Is the
tourist travel which will tie deverted
from Europe to VI a ska The attrac
tions of the two expositions to be
held In California, one at San Fran
cisco and the other at San Diego will
attract a large tourist travel to the
coast Many thousand* from the South
American countries as well as from the
Eastern States have been compelled
to camel their European trips and
these will lie attracted to the big M est ^
and a new world tourist route will be j
created, which once established will
become permanent This route would
be incomplete did It not Include Alaska
the greatest country, considering the
scenery In the world Its mountains
glaciers, its thousands of islands lakes
and fjords tnukes a trip along the
coast of Alaska through a wonderland
tvplcally its own, beside which the
natural scenery of the old world pales
grand though It may be and Is beyond
the power of man to describe in all
’heir grundure
The steamship companies operating
it of tiie coast cities are making ex
’ -naive preparations for the busiest
ear in Alaska transportation bus!
l ess Thousands of people are coming
to the Pacific coast for business and
for pleasure The tide of the tourists
1 avel will be towards the big west
Alaska is a drawing curd and is being
advertised throughout the world, not
•nly by the fact that the government
I- s insisted internal improvements
w hich will cost millions of dollars, but
vanspoi tatlon companies throughout
:he country have taken up the mat
er and roast papers are devoting vol
utins to descriptive articles to attract
a tourists to the northland
t the Exposition* bureaus will be
sfabllshed bureaus by commercial
• idles, steamship and railroad com
• mips, where Alaska literature will he
listributed and as a result of this thou
nds if people will lie induced to
“it Alaska which once seen will he
njoyed and ,soi>n we may expect the
voi thland to fie one of if not the pop
• r tourist routes of the world All
• its of Alaska will be benefitted by
he diverting of the tourists to the
forth but to what extent will depend
ipon the publicity which is growing
o tiie attractive sections of the terri
ory.
Those who will visit the California
xpositlons and those who are deprived
• f the contemplated European trips
. i i • gcrlv read every article available
• ncei ning Alaska and it might be
uggested that we of Seward Peninsula
vctiId do well p, bestir ourselves and
cure some of the benefits which are
•c mg llii ust upon Alaska as a whole.
VHERE YOUTH 18 CONQUEROR.
There is every reason to believe that
he str lggle which is now devastating
Europe will be long i ontinued. ev en to
h* length of practical extermination,
rhi-n- arc numerous indications polnt
ng to this.
Not in genet,at ions has the youth of
'ranee Oermany arid England been
egatded with so much solicitude.
A still more significant evidence "f
this value "t couth is that even en
listed volunteer. n>t attached n. the
regular army is urged to mam atid
enjoy his honeymoon before going Into
active training, and this is usuall.v ■
done, tbe government taking advantag*
of the situation to m ike the honeymoon
as pleasant as possible Some such
marriages tnav resalt In the birth of
Viiuti^t^^i t'j t \ph*uulij f*tk»* thoii i
places In the line, after tills war I
ended and another Europe has been es
tablished
Another Indication of the length of
the v i' Is expfrtnet It thedn ltleit of *
Franc* to pl.oe the school boys In a
military training Thev are still mere i
youths, but they grow with passing .
years, and If trained while In school [
they will not have to sacrifice nddl- ,
tlonal time In equipping themselves for
the life of a soldier later on
In England unusual activity Is being
shown In recruiting boy scouts The 1
boy scout was a few years ago re- j1
garded In a humorous light but wise
heads have learned that when the time
arrives f«*r the hoy scout to turn to
th#» m«*re scriou* imped c*f a
soldier's life be is well fitted for It
There are now upward of 300,000
school boys in France under military
guidance The minister of public in
struction is to cooperate with the min
ister of war and front the ranks of
youth France expects to rebuild her
army after peace has been restored
Even lu Russia, with Its reputed cn
piiclty for huge mobilizations, someth
ing similar Is In progress For the
[first time in many generations the ex
emption from service in the field which
; has been accorded by the Imperial gov
ernment to all students of the univer- I
i allies and even in secondary schools,
jhas been withheld, and this class of
young men has been put Into training
for anticipated work in the field Here
tofore the Russian university student)
(has not tieen regarded by his govern
ment os the safe custodian "f a musket
His revolutionary tendencies, fancied
or real, have served to free him from
the burden "f mllitnrv service
All nf this has been changed and it
proves moreover that youth must In
