Gives Reasons for
Advocating Pensions
“Alaska owes a great debt to the
men whose early discoveries paved the
way for the subsequent development of
the country,' said Representative
trunk Raelson, of Nome, in an inter
view recently accorded the Juueuu
Empire. “Thcss men came into the
North wilderness- whea roads and
trails, much leas, railroads, were un
known They left civilization wherever
the little steamers landed them on the
coast, and most of them gave the beat
years of their life to the country. Now,
when they are long past the age of use
mi service, they must be taken care of
tenderly and humanly. I hope that
this legislature and each succeeding
‘egislaturs will appreciate the obliga
tion Alaska owes to these old men and
be governed accordingly ’
Mr. Raelson has another hobby, ssvs
the Empire, that of good roads. “If
the tame shall come when Alaska will
be criss-crossed with adequate roads
and trails, Ala-ska will show the world
something new in food production,” he
said. “Roads and trails, and plenty .of
them!, will open up the great interior
country and give the Northwest a new
agricultural section.”
