GOVERNOR AND ALASKA
Transformed and transforming Alaska of today is hot the Alaska
of the days of the* Klondyke Rush of 1898, wrife-s Governof Scatt C. Bone
hi a special article in a recent number of the Railway and Marine News
of Seattle. A complete change has conic* about and greater changes
are impending. There were more people in Alaska a quarter oi a century
ago, but the population of Alaska—fixed population—is greater today,
than then. Camps and communities that sprang into being aver night
during the famous stampede have dwindled or passed; but >n tieir stead
have becoir permanency and are here to stay. The Terrory, not
withstandi’ V - many obstacles it has encountered, has steadily, if too
t ^anceji***"^ Its progress has bee»> bindgrpi by adverse
condwiomirand jfcck of a bettor system of administration «nd laws to speed
development, but never wholly checked or long interrupted, whatever the
obstacles and handicaps.
Today the great Northland, better understood and receiving more
enlightened attention, is actually entering upon a new era. The decade
to come will certainly reveal a more substantial growth and material ex
pansion than ever before recorded in a LI the history of the Territory
since the Seward purchase.
I am not a phophet, nor the sou of a phophet. but this prediction
is made with knowledge of facts and the utmost confidence based upon
those facts, in the abundant realization and eventuation of the prediction.
Mark it well !
Above and be-ond all other considerations, the completion of the
Alaska Railroad, built by Uncle Sam at a cost of fifty s.x millions of
dollars, assures the future of Alaska. No longer is the Territory her
metically sealed. The driving of the last spike—will occur shortly in
the Year of Our Lord, 1923, and its meaning is no less significant than
the memorable and far-reaching bargain consummated with Russia in 1867
Alaska is not a land of tradition or a land of tomorrow, but, thanks
to government enterprise, already vindicated, a land of today.
In the opening up of Interior Alaska with its millions of acres of
land as promising in agricultural possibilities as were the Dakotas of
forty years ago; with large mineral districts made accessible by rail and
road and trail; with pulp and paper industries made feasible in th<
twenty million acres of reserved forests along the sea coast as
should have been conserved and regulated long ago—with these
bined accomplishments Alaska is surely destined to g<> ahead and thrivj
as never before.
The completion of the railroad hastens the solution of kindr<
transportation problems, and difficulties that have beset Alaska on •
side will now assuredly be overcome. Vexatious problems of the
will solve themselves, in &rge measure, with the permanency and sta]
lty of increasing population.
BUT NOT WITH A RKHTt.
A brick Is all right in its place.
Makes line building material. But—
% You can't use it as substitute for a card* of Jnvltatior.
They toll us it’s a social error to try.
In other words—
Don’t interrupt the other follow’s affairs to tell him about your
affairs—to ask him to do business with you, for intsanco.
Catch him when ho wants to be caught—when he’s at liberty t<r
listen and he interested.
That’s when he’s In a mood to respond favorably.
There’s one sure way to do this.
It’s when he’s reading his home newspaper that he welcomes—
welcomes instead of resents—the other roan’s etory. Your story.
He’s looking for things that interest him then.
Your effort to attract his attention doesn’t distract from things
in which he’s more Interested Like a brick on the ear.
That’s one of the reasons why every dollar put into well-planned
newspaper advertising, backed by the goods and the seirvice, clicks our
eld friend -the cash register and shows a profit.
Not merely a profit, bit a permanent gain in friendship.

Thi advisability of prescribing
different open seasons for. white fox
and rjpd fox was discussed, but the

SECOND—The change in the
muskrat season is radical and. we
believe, efficacious.
The long midwinter season is not
wanted either by trappers or trail- |
ers. It leads to a destruction of !
houses and runaways that would |
certainly exterminate the rat if long
continued. The forty days open
season at the breakup gives the
hunter a chance to select and shoot
the finest rats at a time when their
pelage has reached its highest
point of excellence.
THIRD—The season is closed on
Heaver. The trapper forced this
issue upon himself by a wholesale
destruction of beaver houses durin?
