HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
The knowledge gained during the [
few months that v have elapsed J
since the question first came up be
fore congress of the necessity of a
government constructed and operat
ed railroad in Alaska has done
more to tring to the winds of the
people of the country generally a
realizing sense its vastncss and
the imuujsity and divetsity or thej
territory's natural resources than;
has been acquired by them during !
the whole of the previous 47 years
of its possession by the United
States.
The experience of the people of
Alaska in the tardy recognition of
the importance of the territory by
the federal government while hard
to bear, has simply been a repeti
tion of tl discouragements and
misrepresentations that were en
durd br the early settlers along
ihe whole of the Pacific coast.
Only a few decides ago, Daniel
Webster and his contemporary elo-1
iuent speakers in the American con
gress derided the proposal to acquire
Dregon, calling it a lund of deso
lation. Oregon taen comprised what
is now known as Idaho and Wash
ington. Those three states today
have a population approximating tw
ind a qjarter millions, and the set
iement there is barely begun. Cal
ifornia, likewise ridiculed in its
time, has a population of nearly
two and a quarter millions.
Some of the debates on the recent
Alaskan railway bill brought out
facts cotifitmatoiy of this. Delegate
Wickersham, of Alaska, read from
the old Congressional Record the
following statement by Senator Day
ton of New Jersey:
With "he exception of land along
the Willamette and strips along
the other water courses the whole
country is as irreclaimable as the
desert of Sahara; nor is that the
worst, the climate is so unfriendly
to human life that the native pop
ulation is dwindling away under the
ravages of malaria.
Senator Dickerson of New Jer
sey added:
Origo.; can never be one of the
United States. If we extend our
laws to it we must consider it as
a colony. But 's thi3 territory of
Oregon ever to become a state? A
member of our Union? Never.
The Union is already too extensive
and we must make two or three
new status from the territory alread
formed. Yet a young, able-bodied
senator might travel from Oregon
to Washington and back once a
year, but he could do uothing else.
It would be more expeditious, how
ever, to come via water around
Cape Horn, or to pass through Ber
ing straits, around the north coast
cf th's continent to Buffins Bay,
thence' through Davis Straits to the
Atlannc and on to Washington. It
is true this passage lias not yet
been discovered, except upon our
maps, but it will be as soon as
Oregon shall become a state.
Even Daniel Webster said:
What do we want with the vast
worthless area, this region of sav
ages and whirlwinds, of dust, of
cactus aud prairie dogs? what
use could we ever hope to put
these great, deserts or these endless
mountain rangess impenetrable and
covered to their base with eternal
snow? What can we ever hope to
do with fhe western coast, a coast
of 3,000 miles, rock-bound, cheer
less and uninvit'ug, ijnd not a har
bor in it? Mr. President, I shall
never vote one cent from the pub
lic treasury to place the Pacific
coast one inch nearer Boston than
it is now.
The Kansas City Times of Feb
ruary 14, 1S74, seven years after
the purchase of Alaska by the Unit
ed States, said:
"Any Kansas City man who is
considering the possibility of going
to Alaska to grow up with the ice
berg purchased from Ri ssia by Mr.
Seward when he was Secretary of
State will be interested in the
statement that the Jatest plan is to
convert into :i renal colony for
the hoollums of the Pacific coast.
The hope that our government may
some day get a small return for
the $7,000,000 of purchase money
is gradually fading eway."
In commenting upon the above
paragraph the Taconia Daily Trib
une of lecent date says:
"Alaska, Instead of becoming a
"penal colony for the hoodlums of
the Pacific coast," has become the
home and the stage of activities
for many thousands ot the best cit
izens of the republic, has paid the
price of the purchase more than a
hundred fold and, with the com
pletion of the railroad just author
ized by Congress, will enter upon
an era of development that prom
ises to be unprecedented in Amer/
ican history."

There can be no reason why any
reader of this who suffers the tor
tures of an aching back, the an
noyance of urinary disorders, the
pains and dangers of kidney ills
will fail to heed the word of a res
ident of this locality who has found
relief. The following is convincing
proof:
Mrs. ida Zimmerman, 813 E St.,
Sacramento, Cal., says: "The pain
in my back was so bad at times
that I could hardly endure it. Sharp
twinges seized me when I was walk
ing and for a few moments I
could hardly move. I had dull,
bearing down pains across my loins
and Welt tired and miserable. My
kidneys were disordered and I was
feeling very poorly indeed when I
got Doan's Kidney Pills. They
drove away the pains and gave me
strength and energy. The trouble
with mv kidneys was removed, too.
I am glad to confirm the public en
dorsemen I gave Deans' Kidney
Pills a few years ago.- I always
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
when I have an opportunity."
