(Continued from Page 1)
I many years, but the unstable political
i conditions in those countries have
I caused capital to view them with ap
prehension, and attention is now
turning to Alaska, where, of course,
there can bo no danger of confisca
tion. where property rights under the
American flag are sacred, and there
is a chance for every man. Then,
again, the wonderful developments
that are taking place on the Gasti-.
neau channel are proving a most val
uable advertisement for Alaska. Lode
mining is being conducted there on
an unparalleled scale and with a de
gree of scientific efficiency hitherto
unknown in the history of mining.
The Treadwell, Alaska-Gastineau and
| Alaska-Juneau are marvels of high
! class mining development, and the
respect in which the securities of
these concerns is held in the New
York stock markets is the best testi
mony to their management that I
know of. Then, the Bonanza mine,
known in the financial world as the
Kennecott Copper company, is an
other striking example of the possi
bilities for capital in Alaska. AH
these things are bringing this country
before the monied people of the world,
ami in my judgment the possibilities
I afforded by the interior of Alaska
contiguous to the government railroad
from Seward to the Tanana river will
transcend in importance anything
hitherto discovered along the coast.
“It was the war that prevented me
from being here last fall, as 1 got
caught in England just when it broke
out. and my father being Scotch and
myself Irish, I volunteered for ser
vice in the British cavalry. 1 crossed
the North sea twice anti saw some
thing of the marvelous efficiency of
the British navy in transporting im
mense numbers of men, horses and
munitions of war without the loss of a
single man. a horse or a pound ot
supplies. I came home with the ex
pectation of returning with the spe
cial Canadian cavalry brigade then
being recruited in Canada, where I
had been lieutenant colonel, corn
mantling the Thirteenth Scottish
Light Dragoons, but about three
months ago the authorities decided to
disband the brigade, as cavalry are
no longer useful in this war, at least
until the trench warfare is over, and
there was no position for me. Had
it not been for this I would be with
the Highland mounted brigade under
Lord Lovatt, who made the Lovatt
scouts famous.
“It is a great disappointment to
Mrs. Stewart, my daughter and my
self that they could not come to Se
ward this year, and my wife’s illness
alone prevented it, but we are looking
forward to being back with our good
friends in Seward next year. It is a
great delight to me to be with you
again and to witness the evidences of
progress the city is making on all
sides. What we want to do now is to
work harmoniously for the good of
our town, create a real “Seward
Spirit.” and keep before us the ad
vice that President Lincoln gave his
cabinet on one occasion when some
petty differences arose between them,
‘Gentlemen, remember that if we
don’t hang together, we will hang
separately.* ”

When once the streets are graded,
And this town takes on the air
Of a camp that has grown permanent,
Of a city that is “there;”
When the trail if clear to Kenai Lake
Then we’ll charter Ashland’s car,
And you’ll have a picnic as the guests
Of the Famous Palace Bar.
