WITH Ol'K EVES ON Al.AxK.Y
Consider'ng Portland's locution on
the having in mind the de
velopment of greater industry, ink
ing in to account the demand that
will bo created lor cheap fuel and
cheap raw material, we do not give
as much practicaal business thought
to the progress of events in Alaska
as we should.
We hear more or less &i>out the
vast extent of territory in the Al
askan country, about the richness
or the mines, the coal deposits and
the government enterprise of rail
road building; but for the most part
all this comes to us us a vegue
and faraway story. We fail to
grasp the variety and the eextent of
Alaska productiveness; and the as
surance of its tremendous inaneaee
as tho country shall develop.
Here is what Alaska shows at its
exhioit in San Francisco; Gold pro
duction, as we know, in terms
ot labulous wealth; copper ores
that daiote the richest fields yet
discovered and from a region far
more extensive than the combined
copper workings within the states.
Iu coal there is a showing that
gives assurance of cheap fuel for
the Pacific West for all time to
come—bituminous from the Matan
uska fields, semi-anthracite from
the Bering river region and lignite
from Cook inlet. There is mairble
of excellent quality from Orr's is
land, oil from Katalla. aiul a group
of lesser minerals in the form of
antiumcnv, gypsum, graphite and
others that only await the hand
cf enterprise to be abundant com
mercial production.
When we take business note of all
these Alaska resources, mid con
sider tiiat just now is the beginning
of the era of their production in
the volunv? that will bring Alaska
recognition as a vast and service
able treasure house, we should con
sider hew we propose to share in
the commercial and industrial bene
fits to be dispensed from that ter
ritory.
How far are the busi
ness interests or Portland
engaged in such considera
tions to any particular extent? It
lock* as if this was another situa
tion In which we had neglected to
wiud the alarm clock — Portland
Telegram.
We don't know what it is all
about, but this-we can. see through
our long distance specks, "His Hon
or," "the Senator," "the
Mayor," and several other noted per
sonages have evidently gotten on
the nerves oi "we" of the Valdez
Prospector, and "we" are going af

fully wiped them clean, and we

yourself every night, and do it in
