SEWARD, W.ASk SA 11 RDA\, Jl LY 15. DOG.
People go away oil to the fjords oi Norway nom dis
tant parts oi Europe, lhey go iisning in remote pans of
Scot‘and and oil ei count* as. lhey wander into the
African wilds to shoot big game, lhey go i*\eiy wheie in
thousands and thousands while Alaska lies heie at the
door of a hundred millions of its own owners, w itn count
less fjords, with waters wiiose fishing cannot be equalled
at this side ol the river Styx or the ocean of etei uit\, and
with hunting which might well satisfy anyone.
Can anyone tell w hy it is that Alaska has not already
become a great American resort—the greatest resort for
Americans in all the world. What is lacking. I eoplt
come up in hundreds each year and this year t lie re is no
real Europe left to the tourist. How is that twenty thou
sand tourists did not land in Seward this year, and how is
it that thousands of them are not now scattered over the
hills mid streams of beautiful Kenai Peninsula;
The answer would probably be the old accusation that
the people have not advertised their district enough, that
no one has ever had the enterprise to prepare for tourists
in large numbers, and that vvhen this district ever got ad
vertising it was advertised as a dog racing country with
blizzards and winds and rains and schemes of one kind
or another to make money, not as what it is, one of the
loveliest places on earth and one that supplies nearly all
that people travel away to see.
The remedy for the present conditions lies in the
hands of the United States government now. li the Mata
nuska coal mines did not exist and if there were no agri
cultural or mining possibilities the government, by using
its railroad for the purpose, by advertising the region
properly as a tourist resort and by supplying the proper
ways oi’ receiving tourists, if no one else will—the govern
ment ov those means can send crowds of visitors here
every year and can create for its railroad a fertile source
of revenue.
The best way in the world to attract tourists is to get
| some tourists coming lirst. The average tourist only
wants to travel where other tourists travel. The human
being rs as sociable an animal as a sheep. He wants to
travel in flocks. He likes the beautiful scenery and he
loves fishing and hunting but the crazy thing also likes to
have some girls around, and the girls of the race want to
have him around. If you went to Heaven tomorrow and
found no one there to greet you and dance and fish with
you the chances are you’d buy a ticket on the lirst train
going south. There is no mountain that can continue to
impress you without human associations. Natural
scenery is, after all, only the frame for the picture of life,
but that frame has a tremendous lot to do with making
the picture more attractive. We have the most beautiful
of frames. It is a gilt work of perfect and divine art and
all we need is to get the picture itself in the shape of
people.
Now, Mr. Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior,
it is up to you t' get the real painting—to get the people
coming. You can give them our word for it that we can
supply the frame.

NEW YORK, July 8.—John D.

world and one of the youngest old
ones, is 77 years of age today. Mr.
Rockefeller has his health and eight
hundred million dollars.. Thai's not
far short of a billion bucks.
Pr. K. U. Biggar, sr., Rockefeller's
personal physician for 2.7 years, de
clares Rockefeller will live to be more
than a hundred years old because he
follows the rules outlined above.
When *Pr. Biggar took John I). to
make him over the Oil King: was go
ing down grade fast. Me had worn
himself to shreds building up his
enormous fortune. The doctor told
him he must rest or he would die.
Rockefeller has be|n resting ever
since. Me works, but just to suit him
self.
In addition to having about $800,
000,000 in his own right now, Rocke
feller probably has given to his child
ren and his charities and his colleges
between two and three hundred mil
lion dollars. The realizable market
value of his Standard Oil holdings
alone recently was estimated at half
a billion dollars.
it is estimated that Rockefeller’s
income is $60,000,000 u year, which is
equivalent to $5,000,000 a month,
$1,168,846.15 a week, $6,853.97 an
hour, $140.40 a minute, $1.90 2-3 a
second.
Rockefeller has accumulated every
cent of this wealth since 1865, when
he made his first $5,000. In 1875 he
had $5,000,000. In 1885 he had $100,
000,000. In 1900 he had $400,000,000.
In 1905 he had $550,000,000.
