ALASKA
We have wondered many times, yes
a thousand times, what it is in the air
of Alaska that stimulates men and
makes them all brain, all nerve, all
generous, and all energy. W e have
wondered what it is in these environ
ments which sets ambition on tire and
impels it to build happier homes and
higher mountainsof wealth. We have
wondered what it is in the environ
ments of Alaska which inspires her
people to light the candle of hope and
love and opeu the doors ot human hap*
piness. We cannot fathom this mys
tery, unless it is that a cog slipped and
the creator located the heaven of here
and now on this little spot which was
after wad named Alaska.
Alaska stands on a par with any
other of the states and territories, and
is doing her share in working* out the
problems of human progress. Emerg
in'' from desolation, ice and snow, she
did not sit down in sullen despair, but
turned her face towards the morning
and watched for the dawna of a better
day, Her pioneers have fought the
battles of isolation and hardships and
have won the victories of happiness
and wealth. Hex Beach, in his novel,
“The Spoilers," dedicated to Ins moth
er. paid Alaska a very fitting compli
ment. It was: “This is God's free
country, where a man is a man, noth
in1' more. Our land is new and pure,
f5
our faces are to the front. It you have
beeu square, so much tiie better; if
not, leave behind the taints ot artifi
cial things and start again on the level
—that’s all. When once you’ve hit
the trail on a winter morning so sharp
and clear that the air stings your
lungs, and the whole white, silent
world glistens like a jewel; yes, and
when you’ve seen the dogs romping in
harness till the sled runners ring, and
the distant mountain ranges come out
like beautiful carvings, so close you
can reach them well, there’s some
thing in it that brings you back—that’s
all, no matter where you've lost your
self.’’—Mining News Record.
