Alaska’s Period of Trial
Is Over Says Sec. Lane
WASHINGTON. D. C., March :>0.—'
* “Fifty years ago today.” said Secre
tary Lane last night. “Alaska became!
a ~>*rt of the United States.
“We are only beginning to realize
how tremendous the service was that
William H. Seward performed when
he secured for us that great source of
wealth. When Seward was secretary
of state, few men realized the great
potential value of Alaska. Popular
impression held it a snow-bound wild
erness, a land of ice and polar bears.
Seward felt that the time would come
when the wealth of Alaska would
astound the world. His judgment to
day is vindicated.
“Opposition to the taking of Alaska j
was as blind as it was virulent. But,
after fifty years, actual financial
statements show us, and prove o«>n
l'*usively. that to have neglected tha*
opportunity would have been a coios-j
sal blunder, a blunder future genera
tions could never forgive.
“A moral obligation was one ol the
primary reasons that led to the pur
chase of Alaska. Russia had given us
the passive support of two fleets of
warships during our civil war, and
saved us from serious indignities that
threatened from abroad. Russia
needed money. We, of course, could
not give it to her outright, but we
could let her have it and take in ex
change her barren North American
* >rovinces. In the face of a storm of
protest the treaty was signed and
fully ratified; the Russian ambassa
dor collected $7,200,000 front Uncle
Sam; and Alaska edged her way into
a protesting and inhospitable demo
cracy.
“Six hundred thousand square miles
of territory, three hundred and
eighty-four million acres of land,
were bought by our government in
1867 for a little over seven million
dollars. That little flier in real estate,
at two cents an acre, has brought
something more than three-quarters
of a billion dollars into the channels
of American trade during the past
thalf century. And 'he profits ar,» just
begining to come in. A scant 65,000
people are living in that vast country,
one-fifth as large as the United
States. One hundred million dollars
out of that three-quarters of a billion
formed their contribution for 1916.
What it will be in 2016 no man can
predict.

“The people who are going to Al
aska in these days are men with
families, people who are going to stay
and put their children in Alaskan
schools, warm them with Alaskan
coal, feed them with Alaskan meat I
and vegetables, pay their bills with j
Alaskan gold. Normal industry is j
forcing the frontier. Alaskans have
confidence in the legitimate resources
of their great empire. They an* con
vinced that Alaska’s future will be an
imposing one.
“Inaccuracy and distortion ot facts
caused the faulty impressions that
existed in the past; but the handful
of far-sighted patriots who have pour
ed their millions into American banks
and business, the men who have lived
the life and who know, are fast in
forming the world. Few in number, as
were the frontiersmen who opened up
the forests of New York and Ohio, but
as determined in spirit and resolute in
purpose as were those early explorers,
the sturdy pioneers of Alaska have
opened up new* fields of enterprise,
anti are today compelling attention.
“Complaints are heard throughout
the states that meat in Alaska is
scarce and high in price. Let those
i who so complain take comfort in the
thought that soon Alaska reindeer
meat will find its way to metropoli
| tan tables, and when it does our staple
beefs and muttons will find a competi
tor quite worthy of their steel.
“It is estimated that one hundred j
and fifty billion tons of coal lie in the
virgin coal fields of Alaska. Ihisl
coal is gradually appearing in the
market. Experts say some of the i
i best coal in the world streaks the
giant mountains of Alaska. With
; these mines opened, with the new gov
! ernment railroad in active operation,
the development of great and rich
tracts, both mineral and agricultural,
will follow inevitably.
“The great gold fields, of the inter
j ior never huve been worked adequate-!
I ly. Extended the advantages of rail
t
'road transportation, mine operators
will soon be able to increase their
output materially. Gold worth $16,
000,000 is mined each year in Alaska
under present conditions. The value
of the precious metal taken from Al
askan mines since the early eighties
has amounted to more than two hun
dred and eighty-five millions. A
paltry seven million and a few odd
thousands was gnidged for the entire
territory only fifty years ago.
“Copper mined last year brought
between thirty-five and forty million

“When Russia sold Alaska in R'W,
she threw in the surrounding seas for
good measure. Since then great
masses of fish caught in Alaskan wa
ters have brought our people two hun
dred and thirty million dollars. Each
year sees the establishment of new
centers and larger canneries. Fur
hearing animals, too, have increased
our mighty dividend by sixty-five mil

“Alaska’s period of trial is over.
She has been weighed in the balance
and found magnificently worthy.”
