WISE ADMONITION.
Major Cencral Morrison's advice to young men to go •" Alaska If they
wish to better their condition and Improve their future prosiwets is worthy]
of ranking with that famous admonition of another noted American; ,-,'«o West.
Regard less of the present state of things. Alaska Is a land of rich
resources and tremendous opportunities. Riobahly nowhere In tin- world
are there to he found greater prospects for individual advancement. Ineal
eulable wealth is hidden in her vast expanse. Almost every hill and valley
Is a possible source of riches. Kven the very waters which surround her
shores are filled with golden opportunities for the acquisition of wealth. Ihoh
ahly no equal area of the earth’s surface contains such vast po'cdhillths as
are presented in this great Northland.
No one really knows a great deal concerning the productive possibilities
of the territory as a whole. It is still in a great degree an llerra Ineogiita,
even to those who have resided here for years and call the land ‘.heir home.
Vast portion* of Its mighty expanse are still practically unexplored. The
full resources of the so called settled sections are still unrevealed. I.ess
than one fourth of its area is really ’settled” at all; the remainder run scarcely
he said to he even inhabited.
Yet, withal, enough Is known to provide definite assurance that the
seemingly platitudinous characterization of the Alaska, newspapers that It,
"is a land of wonderful resources and possibilities” -»nly faintly describes the
actual situation,
hike the great West in the days of fircely’s famous nt^iance, Alaska
la a gigantic, new country and, also like the Went, needs only tin- dyniinic
hand of industry to make it yield an Incalculable harvest of wealth. New
mineral discoveries are being made almost dally; flic boundless fisheries arc
steadily developing; the fin- industry remains an immense wealth resource
end reindeer propagation Is fast reaching the spit us of a great industry and
will ultimately become one of the world’s greatest sources of wealth production.
Agricultural development is also proceeding rapidly and presents immense
possibilities for the future. At the present rate <>f progress the territory will
soon he practically independant of the Outside world with respect to agricul
tural products. Timber abounds over a major portion of the territory and
promises another future source of wrath when conditions are such that it
can he utilized.
Considering the immense resources as an indication of what may be
expected when development bias reached a more advanced stage of progress
it would seem that the ambitious young man could hardly hope to find a land
which excel is Alaska as a field for remunerative endeavor or one which
contains greater prospects for early wealth.
It Is an empire In the rough; a land which, like the precious diamond,
appears crude and unprepossessing in its natural state but when cut and
polished by Industry will become a flashing Jewel fli to adorn .the crown of
empire.
It is true that there are many inhlhltive conditions miiirounding exist
ence here at present. Many difficulties and hardships are encountered by
those who are earving their borne from the primeval wilderness. Things are
In the raw. so to speak, and patience, courage and perserveranee must be the
guides and mentor* of thoso who seek to make the land their home am^wln
success. The pioneers of any new land are far from the lotus bordered lanes
of existence and must struggle hard to bind nature to the yoke of domesticity.
/ Wo know' of no condition, however, that cannot he surmounted by
application and energy; no retarding Influence that will not rapidly yield to
perseverenro and a desire to win.
It Is on Ideal land for the young man who is willing to forsake the
downy bed of to win a fortune. Indeed, tho weakling and tho unthrifty
lint for the young man who possesses courage and Is willing to work to
cirth's surface. No Alaskan who knows the country but will give hearty
