POPULATION MOVING WESTWARD
For more than .a hundred years the
(enter of population of the Knifed!
States has been moving steadily west - j
ward drawn thither by the restless
spirits which have crowded beyond
the centers of population and ever
widening the circle of human endeavor
till the eastern civilization of the old
and western of new worlds are meeting
on the Pacifii shore when*, as the his
torian itaneroft says is to he establish
ed the greatest and highest civilization
of all times.
The western new men Is have marked
the various stages of human progress
in the old and in the new world.
This progress has reached its final
limits on the Pacific where it comes
again in touch with the ancient of
eastern civilization. Not that such
touching means the stoppage of all
progress because there are no more i
new western lands to explore and do- j
\clop by restless spirits but on the1
contrary the human progress must|
over continue forward and upward and
the field of human endeavor is limitless
though the land tie crowded by the
teaming millions. The meeting on the
shores of the Pacific of the old and the
new means probably more for the fut
ure of the rare than did the first set
tlements on the Atlantic coast which
laid tlic foundation of the great Ameri
can civilization which has meant so
muc.li for human progress.
Rnerg} and enterprise has char
in terized the pioneers who have led
the march which has followed the
reourSe \Jf the sun as the only foad
which gave fullest play and vent for
their super-abundant vitality and
energy. The f ir western and northern
land of Alaska is the tinal limit of this
movement westward, but not the end
of it probably but the beginning
a movement which again will take up
its course in the great circle of human
progress The pioneers might be said
to consist largely of those who have
thrown away or missed their oppor
tunities in life, that they might make
j opportunities for others who are to fol
low This has been the unconscious if
i not the conscious results of the great
western movement. In these days there
j is greater rapidity of movements in all
| departments of human endeavor.
Changes are more rapid than, in the
past; people move and act with acce
I lerated speed and the pioneer no longer
has to work in laying a foundation for
others alone, hut lie becomes the
sharer in the results of all the hard
ships incident to a pioneer life Such
is in store for many of the pioneers of
Alaska who are to share in the general
development and progress of Alaska
, which Ikls now commenced and which
Jail conditions of hutnun society seem to
conspire together to give encourage
ment and to push along. With the
government actively promoting and
building railways. developing coal
mines, and in numerous way promot
ing tiie development of the country,
there will be an influx of people and
capital. One worthy development pro
motes another One industry started
invites a score of others and Alaska
with its varied resources is the held
now opening to the world opportunities
which are rare and which will lie
eagerly seized by thousands What we
f Alaska need is to let the world know
what Alaska has to offer to those who
have energy and ambition. We wait
'• he booster who sees the opportunities
w liiih are ottered and not the fault
tinder and the critic who sees in all
tilings lilt* crudities of life and never
recognizes the finer elements which are
working for the good of ail
Here in Nome we are in need of tin
booster of knockers we have an over
supply. We are in need of those who
can see in our tin. iron, gold, coal and
other deposits a future for the country
which needs but to become known to
attract to us people and capital and
pi i isperity.
