northbound on the S. S. Ala
meda, in port last week.
ALASKA
Snow canned mountains. Cas
cades of waterfalls from melting
snow.
Crystalline blue glaciers, sug
gesting as does the sphinx, a re
mote and indefinable past—such
is Alaska.
A vast meiestic land of illimit-I
able possibilities and fabulous
wealth, atmosphere suggestive of
antiquity, save Sitka who slum-1
bers redolem of it’s former Rus
sian occupation and sad memor
ies.
Bygone thrilling daventures
during the gambling days of the
Gold Rush—
A turbulent wave of eager
crested life, when men were men,
and women were also men; which .j
wave has long since receded, ^
leaving traces of ruin and aban
donment—such is Alaska.
Teeming with potential wealth
of mines, furs, sea life and pro- j
ducts of a short but prolific agri
cultural season, yet with no ap
parent prospect of immediate de- C
velopment or promising future— $
such is Alaska. \
An immensity of interminable t
mountains, valleys, rocks, timber
—vast expanse of water ways,
channels, straits, bays, harbors;
the vast main dotted with in- j.
comptible and incomparible is- c
land enough for all the Robinson p
Crusoe’s universe—such is Alaska, p
Majestic, wild, strong-hearted p
and invincible, presenting an un
conquerable front to the forces
I of civilization; yet inviting man
j with its lure of potential wealth,
; it’s tang of health, and spirit of
1 freedom, it’s call of the wild to
I come and conquer if you can.
Will some Titanic giant with a
Jovian brain and the resources of
Croesus subdue her proud and
defiant beauty and make of her
a chained slave to man’s increas
ing needs and desire?
j Alaska, the inscrutinable but in
j viting—heroic, god-like, challeng
ing! Here am I, pampered by
j Nature with a rock exterior but
with a heart of gold, with ma
moth glaciers and veins of hid-1
den treasure—she calls afar to
men of courage and prophetic
destiny!
“I invite you,” she cries, “to!
come to my welcoming gesture.
You will have to fight to possess
me. Fight for me and with me. j
But my embrace is warm and
my gifts shall be bounteous, gra
cious and kingly.”
“Man of desting, for you I am
waiting”—such is the voice of;
Alaska.
