And I think it must be so to Mr
Average Man in the states.
‘‘I have mentioned your mag
nificent distances, but they are
not completely understood until
Capt. Thomsen, in the chart room
of the Watson at Kodiak, exhib
ited demonstratable facts to me.
I had left Spokane vaguely think
ing I 'was going into a northland.
Instead, I came to a westland.
I recalled at Three Saints Bay
that twice since leaving Puget
Sound I had turned my watch
back one hour, and now I also
recalled how during my ride from
Buffalo to Seattle in 1902 I had
set back my watch.
“But amazement came to me
when Capt. Thomsen proved to
me by chart that I was then
virtually in the longitude of Ha
waii; that if Buffalo was six hours
in time from Europe, I was then
four hours in time from my child
hood home. The northing we had
made was only 900 miles, but as !

reach into the air only in the
early ‘tees and thousands. Their
splendor would be dimmed if set
alongside this giant of the late

be greater than its companions on
the coast, then its glory must be
indescribable.

“But, somehow I wonder if you
people, outside of the cannery

development ahead of the hour
of your ultimate destiny. I’m told
that mushrooms can be raised in
Alaska. Some of your once pros
perous communities have waned.
Our era is one of hurry in ex
ploiting natural resources. You
are handling unaccustomed power !
without the experience of the
past generations here. Nature has
been prodigal. Bustling pioneer
; energies are being spent with
equal prodigality. But the great, j
lasting development is yet to be
commenced in the staid resources
of Alaska, and may not be in j
full force for many years.

not know much yet about Alaska,
