CELEBRATING KLONDIKE RUSH.
The June Number of the Railway and Marine
News cf Si ''.!( is devoted to Alaska in celebration
cf the twenty-fifth anniversary of the famous Klon
dike mill of 1898—a rush, by the wav, that started
i.i 1897 but reached its heighth twenty-five years ago
this year. Nearly the entire number is given over tc
Ala ka and Yukon and it contains a lot of Interesting
Ala. ka illustrations.
An optimistic nice.sage written by Gov. Scott C
Bone and printed under the heading, "Greetings Iron
• Ala k::." i>- a sort of foreword for the number. "It
the Heart of the Yukon," describing a trip from
Sltag'wuy to A.tlin and Whitehorse; "Alaska’s Twc
Centuries of Transportation," briefly sketching thl
tianiiticn of transportation methods and facilities ir
the North; "Uncle Sant's New Alaska Railroad;” "A
Ton of Gold trim the Yukon;" "History of Alaska
I Mining,” and numerous shorter articles, including
the histories of the Alaska" and Pacific Coast Steam
chip Companies, one on Stephen Birch and rnanj
others, including several editorials on Alaska, com
pletc the edition.
Governor' Bette's article follows:
Transformed and t ran forming. Alaska of
today is not the Alatka of the days of the
Klondike Hu h of 18118. A complete change
hua come about and greater changes are im
pending. There wore more people in Alaska
a quarter of a century ago, but the popula
tion of Alaska—fixed population is greater
today than then. (tamps and communities
(hat s-piang into being ever night during the
famous riamprde have dwindled or passed;
but in their stead have become permanency
and are here to tlay. The Territory, not
1 withstanding the many obstacles It has en
countered, h is steadily, if too slowly, made
advancement. Its progre « has been hindered
by advene conditions and lack of a better
ly.-tcan c-f administration and laws to speed
development, but never wholly checked or
long Interrupted, whatever the obstacles and
handicaps.
Today the great Northland, better under
stood and receiving more enlightened atten
tion, 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 all the
history of the Territory since the Seward
phrehuee.
1 am not a prophet, nor the son of a
pro phut, but this prediction is made with
km wledge of fm and the utmost confidence,
based upon those facts, in the abundant
rcuM&afii: n and eventuation of that predic
tion. Maik it well!
Above and beyond all other consldera
lions, me completion ol uie Alaska Rail
road, built by l m le Sam at a cost of ftfty
'.lx millions of dolliars, assures the future
i f Alaska. No longer is the Territory
heiinct.( ally realod. The driving: of the last
*:p.ike- do be commemorated by a golden
■ Tike will occur shortly in the Year of Our
Ixird. IHt’l!, and its meaning is no less
fdgni 11 carat than the memorable and far-reach
ina bargain consummated w.iith Russia in
1867.
Alaska is not a land of tradition, or a
land of tomorrow, hut, thanks to government
entet pt ire, already vindicated, a land of
today.
In the opening up of interior Alaska,
with its millions . f acres of land as promis
ing in agricultural possibilities as were the
IXikits: of forty years ago; with large mln
et a 1 di> tricts made accessible by rail and
load and trail; with pulp and paper indus
tries made Tim. Rile in the twenty milion
acre- of reserved forests along tile sea coast,
and with the fisheries conserved and regulated
as they should have been conserved and
regulated long ago with those combined ac
compli..'luncnts Alaska Is surely destined to
go rhrad and thrive as never before.
Hie completion of the railroad hastens
tile loluritn of kindred transportation prob
lems. and difficulties that have beset Alaska
on every ido will now a sored ly be overcome.
\ exatlons problems of the past will soive
them: olvos, in large measure, with the per
manency and o. ability of increasing popula
tion.

News ha. rendered a real service and with
this optimistic word of greeting I convey
to you my congratulations and good wishes.
IMMENSE IMMIGRATION MOVEMENT
PENDING.
If a reaction in bus:non- and industry does nol
eet in there will - be a great rush to the Tnited
Bates trim the i nitod Kingdom beginning with th<
fliat tt July a: ard.ng to those who have been in
iir.lgatiug the nation. The quota of immigrants
remitted ficm Great Britain was reached in May
and, it is raid, cut ofT 15,000 people from coming
here in May and June to become Americans. Mo*>t
of these and a let of others will make a rush in July
and to ttclr numbers will be added a great many
more. It is said That the Taot that the quota was
Reached /lust yaar will cause those contemplating
coming to America to make their arrangements early
si) that they may get over the ocean before next
year's quota shall have been reached. The Scandinav
ian countries and Germany are expected to contribute
largely to the fall immigration also. The incoming
1 .tide of people will be limited by the capacity of
incoming steamers to carry them.
j The revival of immigration is- expected to relieve
ptlie labor shortage in this country for the coming
full and winter, at least., and to add materially to
home consumption of agricultural and other products.
! i The immigration movement, it is believed, will be in
jttmo to help in the harvest of the grain crops in the
I north and the late crops in all tedious of the country.
However, the largest contribution from Kurope, it is
| believed, will he artisans for the building trades and
• I he shops. The movement of skilled workmen to
lithe t'nlted States already is causing alarm in Great
Kri tain.
When considering the growth of American imports
many do not take into account that a great deal
of this importing is from Americans whose activities
have sproad out beyond our National borders. Nearly
all of the oil imported by the I'nited States, most of
I tlie paper, much of the rubber, coffee, tobacco, muheg
any and many other things'are bought from American
producers.
German marks have reached a new low more
than 81,000 for one dollar. No wonder the Ger
mans are using coal and ibirch logs for money. Marks
nre too bulky to carry around.
Tribute to S. L. Hogue.
! -
(Petersburg Heport.)
Samuel Luther Hogue, or as he was affectionately
I known "Old Man" Hogue, ban parsed to his great
! reward and It has been with saddened hearts that
the people of Petersburg have gene about their dally
! tasks during the past week.
With the passing of Mr. Hogue we lost our most
worthy citizen. The one man whom the community
could least spare, and a man whose place in the civic
life of tlie community can never be tilled success
fully.
A far seeing, right thinking man; a business
gambler and a fighter for the right, not only for him
self, but for this entire section, he was one to whom
the community turned on every question of vital
importance.
“Have you see Hogue? What does he think about
| it?’* was asked every time any question Vital to the
I welfare of the community came up for discussion. A
born leader and a public spirited citizen, generous
.to a fault, always looking for the good in his fellow
I man, la ways ready to do his full share in all civic
duties, and often more than his share, he will be
ifad 1 y missed. Ilia influence will be felt in the affairs
1 pf the community for years to come.
| As * one man so aptly expressed it this week,
"Hague was a very public spirited man. While he
and I had many differences of opinion, everyone must
concede that he was the hardest working man for the
po mini unity that we had."
The test .Mr. Hogue applied to all questions was,
j "WiHI ft be of bonellt to the community.” If so he
| was for it. If not then he opposed it, and whether
for or against l.e was whole souled about it. There
• "as never any equivication or half way measures
about "Old Man" Hogue, and everyone always knew
j how he stood and what to expect.
Mr Hogue died us he lived, a man. Loyal to
his friends and relatives, a loving husband, and a
fearless but ju>: enemy, and a lighting business
gambler who always played "the game." This fight
ing business spirit is exempli fled In a remark made
to the editor of this paper barely a week before his
death, while lying in bed and with barely strength
l to talk, when he said: "Don't you think it took nerve
lor a dying man to bond a quartz mine?”
He lived largley and met his death without fear,
lie was feared by some, loved by many, but respected
by all, and when we say that he lived and died
every inch a man, we have said it all.
Propaganda of Sedition.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
I In an address at the Koieduszko celebration in
i Chicago Secratary ol Labor Davis gave warning of
| propaganda to spread the Communistic principles of
Itm.-’a in this country by foreign emissaries, and
J made it the basis of a demand for a selective immi
I «ration law. No one knows more accurately the
: character of the tide of immigration than Secretary
Davis, and no one cun have a fuller appreciation
i°' ,lle danger that accompanies the letting down of
| the bare to the missionaries from Moscow.
A few days ago Wade 11. Ellis, who, as conns"!
'for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that in
vestigated Russian propaganda, had full opportunity
o. ms laeis. made a public statement that
there are in the United States 400 periodicals with
I oombitied circulation of 5,000,000, which advocate
! vlolent “edition and insurrection against the Oovern
jment of this country. Why is tt possible for almost
5 per ce,lt■ of 'he population to be served the urge to
treason and sedition?
Inspiration of Ford’s Career.
( Philadelphia Ledger.)
llcniy hord, it is reported, is the richest man In
the world. The statement is based on assets of more
than hair a billion dollars, for the Ford Motor Com
pany, listed with the Massachusetts Commissioner
u Corporations. One of the outstanding romances of
industrial life is the story of Ford's rise to affluence
and influence from the day 20 years ago when he
and liis wife tried in vain to get credit for *1.50
from a Detroit shopkeeper when they wanted a
chicken for their Sunday dinner.
At tho same time the wires bring the slorv of a
bequest of $2,000,000 to a boy of 14. He muet
"ait till lie conies of age to get it; but for the next
seven years he will be aware that when ha Is 21
lie corns into a fortune by no exertion of his own
except lo sign on a doited line. Ford starting
wall nothing and working up with pertinacity and
unremitting application, rets a more wholesome ex

“Every kiss brings you one step
nearer the grave,'’ croaks one of the
gloomy wise old birds who work over
time viewing with alarm.
If this is true a lot of our young
people are galloping cemeteryward.
Still kissing may be dangerous at
that.
Every kiss, if you are single, may
bring yon one step nearer matrimony.
And every kiss, if yon are married,
may bring you one step nearer the
divorce court, or the grave, if your
wife is a good shot. Maybe that is
what he meant.
So, kiss if you must, but kiss
with care.
