SEWARD. \LASKA, WEDNESDAY, Jl l.Y 11, 1915.
The development of Alaska progresses like a dream. When the present
j overno! of the territory and many others who are still here turned a cold
shoulder to the stories of dangers and hardships to be encountered Alaska
was a terra incognita beyond Juneau. Some few men had penetrated by way
of the Yukon liver to Circle City but to the vast majority of the people who
came with the rush to the Kiondyke tin* lower reaches of the Yukon were as
the gateway to a world unknown, almost as mystic in their suggestiveness as
the banks of the Styx.
It would be difficult now for the people, who are coming for the first
time, to realize how recent seems the day when Alaska was Juneau, Sitka
ami Skagway. There wa a period only a short time ago when people of the
interior hear* of Seward, Cordova and Valdez as they might hear of some re
mote town in South America without being quite sure of the location. De
velopment was breaking out, so to speak, in spots apparently independent of
each other a> plants breakout in widely separated parts of a garden, but
each plant is part of the whole crop which covers the field at maturity.
Governor Strong has been astonished on his first visit to Seward as many
other sourdoughs have been astonished before hitn to see in Alaska, their
cwn Alaska, a climate and a soil like ours. This is a remarkable thing to
say. but it is positively a fact nevertheless, that it would be more difficult to
obtain the credence of men in interior and far northern Alaska in the truth
about this part of Alaska than to secure the credence of the people of the
eastern states. This, after all, is easily understood. Alaska being all one
country it must, of course, be all the same in all parts ami those who have
only seen the bleak tundras and felt the accursed blizzards of Point Harrow
could never be got to believe that any portion of Alaska could be free from
them. The quickt.. way by which to remove this burden from the shoulders
of southwestern Alaska would be to change the name. If southwestern Al
aska were advertised to the world tomorrow under the name of Sunland,
i ertilia. Arcadia or some >uch name il is probable that population would
come much taster. There i.^ a lot in a name. This part of Alaska by any
ether name would look as sweet but it would sound more sweetly in the dis
tant ear.
(iovernor Strong is by no means the only longtime resident of the terri
tory who is genuinely surprised by Seward and the country around it. It
is simply extraordinary how ignorant Alaskans are of their own territory and
through no fault of their own. When one has seen all the different parts of
Alaska he no longer wonders that the opinions of Alaskans expressed in
Washington manifest such diversity.
W ELL KNOWN PIONKKK R ML*
W AY MAN l)KAI> Ol TSIDK
There are many in Alaska who will
remember Murray II. Miles, the first
conductor on the White Pass railway,
and who will be sorry to learn of his
untimely death at North Yakima
about a month ago. Word has just
been received here concerning his
sudden passing away. He came
north in ’97 and took an active part
in operating the White Pass railway
for a number of years before going
outside and taking up his residence at
N’oith Yakima. Wash. He was very
successful in business there, promi
nently identified with the leading
business interests and development of
the Yakima valley anti a leader
among the old sourdoughs in that dis
trict. Death came to him while still
in the prime of life, thereby remov
ing one who was known among his
intimate friends as “the salt of the
earth.”
NOME.—An interesting souvenir of
the great European war in the shape
of the gun, helmet and catridge'
pouch of a German soldier taken on
the battlefield in Poland is on exhibi
tion in the window of the Nugget
office, together with some interesting
and numerous cartoon maps ol the
international situation as viewed
through Japanese eyes and the time
fuse or head of one of the great Ger
man shrapnel shells picked up near
Warsaw. The collection is the prop
erty of Mr. Olaf Swensen, who se
cured the same from Russian officials
on the Siberian coast. The several
objects have created considerable in
terest, and the sidewalk in front of
the office has been blocked by the
curious for hours.—Nugget.
COWDEN SEEKS DIVORCE.
NOME.—The divorce suit entitled
Cowden vs. Cowden was heard in the
district court this morning, but re
sulted in the court refusing the ap
plication of the plaintiff, Fred Cow
den, on the ground that the testimony
did not sustain the allegations of the
complainant.
NOME.—The bureau of education
is going to move the Eskimos from
Doering and other villages to a tract
of land set aside by congress as a
reservation for the natives, below the
native village of Oxsik. Then they
contemplate the building of co-opera
tive stores and a saw mill. This res
ervation, like the rest of the Kobuk
river, is well timbered and abounds in
ptarmigan, rabbits, geese, ducks and
game of all descriptions. This is
a native paradise for hunting and
fishing, and at one time was covered
with villages and igloos by the hun
dreds. Of the many thousands of Es
kimos who at one time lived on the
shores of Kotzebue sound and the
adjacent streams, only a few scat
tered hundreds are alive.
Alaska’s population is said to have
increased 3,000 last year. A still
greater increase is expected in 1015.
