Forty-one years ago today the formal trans fer of the district of Alaska from the zar of Russia to the government : of the United States was completed. William II. Seward, secretary of ' - state; believed he bad done a great thing for his country when he bar gained and paid 17,200,000 gold for Alaska.' '. ' Nearly everybody else be lieved that Mr. Seward had almply thrown away that much money, that Alaska was nothing; but a, waste of Ice and could' never amount to any-' thing. . Just before his death Mr. Seward declared that the greatest ac complishment of his very active public life was the j'. annexation ,,; of; Alaska. "A Then he added, '.'but it will take the country a generation to ; find out Alaska's value." ' J ? ." ' . The generation of Seward la a. gener atlon of the paBt. and the country today Is beginning to realise that' his predlc 'tloni ere fulfilled, "..The Portland expo eltlon, three years ago taught the people ' a great deal about Alaska.

Alaska Is triumphant now, but there Is tragedy In Its past To begin at the beginning, the peninsula of Alaska was discovered In 1788 by Vltua Bertng, a Danish navi gator in the service of the Russian govt eminent. He gave his name to the sea and straits which separate America from Asia, and -claimed the country for the Russian crown. A few years later a band of Russian adventurers under took to settle the lana. iney so cru elly maltreated the natives that a mas sxcre was provoked, which the Russians frightfully avenged. Thus the- Russian dominion In America was bullded on a foundation of cruelty A Commercial City. The Russian government began to pay serious attention to Alaska In the early part, of the nineteenth century, and set about making Sitka a commer cial city. Shipyards and factories were built, a trans-Pacific commerce was es tablished, and for years a thriving, trade was arried on.j .Ruthless destruction of fur bearing animals,? the i. -maltreatment of the.'iayLves,tbe growing lm .portenee of ihe cities on the Pacific coast of the United States, the Waste of capital in developing; useless coalTnlnes and the gathering of coal for -Which there, waa no market ell then things contribute to the- deojlne of the Rus sian trade.7 Finally .the time came when all the great Russian capitalists with drew and Bitka degenerated Into a fish ing village. Its very name was almost forgotten, and the world abandoned It to the fettefs of Ice which the world imagined bound it. -. , ,;. TlioTUrtrt Purchase Mlatake, Thus y it happened that the cduntry Relieved Mr. Seward had been cheated when he bought Alaska from Russia. It was declared that the sale of the dis trict was only a trick which enabled Mr. Seward to give Russia $7,200,000 In return for assistance offered by Russia to the Lincoln administration during the civil war. Statesmen declared that It ' would never return the purchase price In contributing to the American trade. Fortv-one years have passed. More .than the amount paid to Russia Is yielded each year from Alaskan fish 'erles. In the last decade Alaskan gold iminee have produced more than $100, ,000,000 .worth- of gold, and the produo Wlon Is continuing. To this is now be ing added the produce of coal mines and -bii fields, the importance of which is 'increasing rapiaiy. f The nresent population of the terrl lory is aDout su,uuu, or wnicn so.uuu are white men ana tne rest natives, yitn uch m. soarse population and with such comparatively small development ot atural - resources, the trade between lAnka and the United States nroner ow amounts to more than t50.000.000 year.' - . . i' ' rei jLgxioiunust janaa. 80 far : from being a land of never smelting snd unrelenting ice.

The fact that these Improvements are going for ward in Alaska will finally have the effect of correcting the mistaken no tions of that far northern country which obtain In the larger part of the Uni ted Stat. The people of the Pacific northwest states know about Alaska, but the rest of the Americans think It Is a solid sheet of ice. As a matter of fact, Sitka has a mean annual temperature of 44 degrees, which Is just that of St.- Paul, Minn., and which Is only five degrees lower than that of Boston, Mass. The climatic con ditions are quite different from those of our- temperate sone. but they are not so rigorous as to prevent great in dustrial development. Take the exam ple -of the Tanana valley, of which the prosperous town of Fairbanks la the metropolis. ' This valley Is about 30 to 85 miles wide and 800 to 900 miles long. It has produced over 820,000,000 In gold from Its frozen soil in the past seven years. But the future or the ' valley does not lie In its wealth of gold. This valley Is capable of supporting an agricultural population of at least Z50.000. Th ground In the valley Is froaen to a depth of 100 feet, but In March and April It begins to thaw and the frost melts out to a sufficient depth to permit cultivation. The finest of small fruits and vegetables are grown here on land which Is underlaid at a depth of three or four feet by solid ice ana rrosen grouna. gub-Xrrlgatlon Benefits.. Without this underlying ice vegetable life could not be sustained, as there is little rainfall in the summer and the growing crops depend upon the sub-lrri-gation from the Ice beneath the surface. In this valley during the months of May, June and July, the sun shines practic ally all the time, ..rising about 1:80 in the morning and letting at 10:80 at night. Darkness never penetrates the valley during, that season, and the crops mature very rapiaiy unaer tne not sum mer sun. This particular valley is per haps too far north for the grain grower, but Alaska has millions of acres wait ing for the wheat. Of course the country does not offer advantages for a large farming popula tion at this time, because of the lack of j transportation facilities, as the rail roads come and the olacer gold mines. the .coal fields and the copper deposits are opened up. the necessary markets 1 will be provided and Alaska's perma-1 nent agricultural development will go . forward. I The riches of the Alaskan coal and copper fields may yet surpass the wealth of Its gold mines. The Quality 1 of coal found Tn some of toe workings I Is very high, but, as yet, the mines, have not been developed sufficiently to sup ply even tne Aiasitan aemana. me value of the Alaskan oil fields is still problematical but . they may also add greatly to toe mineral weaitn 01 me territory.. i The fisheries, the fur trade and the e-old are the principal Alaskan products ' of today.
