Fairbanks division; Arthur Franme,
representative-elect from the Third
division, Anchorage? John Montford

ors; Ed. C. Russell, twenty years a
publisher in Alaska and today its best
mfotmed newspaper man; O. D. Coch
ran,' representative-elect from the
Nome division; Mrs. M. L. Stitt, eecre
retary, and Mrs. Alice B Jones, trea
suerer of the Ladies of the Golden
North, and Delegate and Mrs. Dan
were among those seated
at the speakers’ table.
George T . Snow, woh served ns
first president of the order, made a
fordeful appeal to Alaskans now rea
dout outside to respond to the call for
united support of the Northland. He
declared that there are 28,000 men of
pioneer caliber who are entitled to
membership in tire order. Mayor Cald-1
well tcld of Seattle's debt to the North j
and deplored the mismanagement of j
the affairs of the territory, as well as j
the shortsighted policy of the federal j
administration soon to retire. f
Delegate Sutherland was received
with cheers, the audience standing .
“The placers of the Yukon are now
exhausted, are gone, " he said. “The
I’Sesence of so many pioneers in Seat
\ i* evidence of tho fact.” He *. de
• blared his belief that the next Repub
dean congress will place a tax on all
;?old used as a luxury in order that
producer^ of the precious metal may
be able to produce it at a liberal pro
fit. The sentiment found a responsive
echo in the big audience. He visualis
ed a brighter side to Alaska of the
future, however, predicting that fields
of golden grain will soon take, the
place of gold mines, and that the soil
of Alaska will be tilled by men from
the United States. The pulp industry
is another development no longer a
ijream, but on January 1st, he said,
will become a dream realised when the
first pulp mill will be in operation; oil
tor fuel is better than a prospect. The
oil industry of Alaska will come to tho
(rent. I believe the government will
drill for oil there.
Discovery of a mountain of *e©al
located somewhere between Donnelly
on the Richardson Highway and the
Alaska Railway is claimed by G. D.
