Alaska as a United States possession is only 73 years old, about the average lifetime of a man. On that historic day which we’ commemorate today Alaska was a raw wilderness. There were almost no white residents; the gold still lay in the hills as it had for millions of years; the fish in the sea had not been turned effectively to man’s use; broad for- ests lay untouched; no tourists came to spend their vacations—and their money—in Alaska; a fortune in furs had been stripped from the land and sea ALASKA’S BIRTHDAY Y ( Those chaps the G.OP.
