' Washington, June 20. 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

Is beginning to realise that' his predlc

The story Of Oregon and California is
sn einbroken tale of triumphs. 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.

- The telegraph and telephone preceded
the railroad and what were trackless
and silent wastes a few years ago are
now annihilated by the agency of instantaneous-
communication. 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

The fisheries, the fur trade and the

THE JOURNAL'S THIRD ANNUAL EDUCATIONAL CONTEST BEGINS MONDAY, JUNE 22
Regular Employment
ffi Does Not Prevent
Boys and Girls From
.Competing.
The mere fact that boys and flrls and
young 'men and young women are reg
ularly employed does- not prevent tbem
from competing In the Journal's schol
arship - contest, nor does It handicap
thera to any great extent in securing
votes. In a great many tnatanoee their
business connections are very ; helpful
to them In securing large numbers of
subscriptions, .The accommodating boys
and girls through their 'Willingness and
courtesy make fast friends around the
large establishments In which they are
employed, and their fellow, workers and
heads ; of department take pleasure In
assisting them, ' especially In their
worthy ambition to secure an education
to fit them for high salaried positions
in tha business world. Everyone ad
mires ambition in tha young man or
young woman and nothing , gets the
hearty support of the publio more read
ily or more generously than the young
person' who shows a desire to be self
supporting. Toung people should seise
opportunities as eagerly as they would
gold coins rolling down the street. Fail
ure Is very often the result of lost op
portunities. Every boy and girl who
enters this great contest will display
wisdom and will get due praise for his
or her desire to earn a higher education;
The Interesting work of securing sub
scriptions for Tha Journal will prove far
more enjoyable than If the vacation
were spent In unprofitable pleasure
when nothing would remain but memor
ies of a fruitless summer. Don't delay
getting started In tha contest.
THE WAY IT IS DONE
Each and every subscriber to any Is
sue of The Journal will be entitled to
vote for a contestant according to the
length of time they pay In advance for
their subscription. A schedule of votes
allowed on every Issue, for different pe
riods, la published today.
Every contestant should commence
at once to hustle for subscribers to
The Journal, bearing in mind that new
subscribers count many more votes than
old subscribers, for It Is only through
an Increase in circulation that The
Journal will receive returns for such
a large outlay of cash and scholarships.
The publio wiy be kept advised by
publication, from time to time as to
the standing ot the different contest
ants and the votes to their credit.

ing your campaign for subscribers and
votes will be given to any contestant
who applies to the contest manager.
SQVAX CHANCE FOB AU.
For the purpose of awarding the
scholarships and cash prises, the field
of Tha Journal has been divided Into
four districts, as follows:
Multnomah county, Oregon.
Willamette Valley (as far south as
Eugene).
Southern Oregon (ail south of Eu
gene).
Eastern Oregon.
VA liberal measure of votes Is al
lowed for subscriptions to the semi
weekly edition of The Journal to favor
contestants working In districts where
the population is scattered. The voting
schedule Is so keyed and the field Is
so divided, that a contestant living tn
the country or on a rural route has an
equal advantage with tha contestant liv
ing In the city of Portland. The young
people living In the country have thia
advantage over their city rivals: they
enjoy a larger personal acquaintance. ,
