Washington, April 1«.—"Fifty-four
years ago, on .March Sfl, 1*67, was
Rifitieil tiit treaty whereby Ihn United
Biatva purchased Alaska from liussia
for $7,(100,000. In the intervening
half century, we have taken from the
territory more than severity times the
eeveil millions of purchase money,"
nays a bulletin from the Washington,
1). C., headquarters of the National
Geographic Mooiety,
"Most Americans are in the habit
of thinking of Ala-ka as of insiffnifi-
cant area, yet it its at large as Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota Wisconsin
and Missouri put tojreBlier, with sir.-
ntile hits from Kansas, Xehrasita and
the two Dakotas added on.
"To most people, also, Alaska is
visualized as a land of snow and tee,
of glaciers and scant vegetation. It)
point of fact the Alaskan climate is
fairly diversified, and along the coast
there are slight extreme* of cold and
heat. In tlie interior theh> is less
rainfall, and the long Arctic day pro-
duces a very dry and warm climate.
As Well Loomed as Norway.
"Everywhere, except In the extreme
north, the vegetation is luxuriant, its
growth Is rapid, and fruits, vegetables
end grazing grassed flourish.
"Located no less advantageously
than the Scandinavian Peninsula and
with an area r.lmost twice as great
ns that of Norway and Sweden com-
bined, Alaska, nevertheless, hns a
while population of little more than
(io.ooo as against the eight millions of
geandinaviaiw.
"The three great sources of Alask-
an wealth are minerals, fisheries and
furs. I'p to the end of 1315 the mines
of Alaska had produced more than
In 1016 the fisheries
produced nearly $20,000,000, and the
(if I tries more than half a million.
There are great deposits of coal as
yet untouched and of low .grade ores
more precious which await a*ty tl»e
development of the territory'* own
water power to make them available
at tremendous profit
Spruce Valuable.
"Forests, too, are extensive and
suited for the production of both tim-
ber and wood pulp. The heaviest
growth lies along the coast, where
two national reservations contain a
combined area ot about 21,000,000
ucrcs with an existing stand of mer-
chantable timber exceeding eighty bil-
lion feet, board measure. These for-
<-sts comprise the northwest extremi-
ty of the gnett northern belt of coni-
fers which spans our continent and
Alaskan spruce lies been found valu-
able for the construction of the wood-
en frames of airplanes, for which use
it commanded during the war the re-
markable price of nearly $150 per
thousand feet.
"in recent years Alaska has attract-
ed attention as a producer of meat for
exportation to the United"States. This
meat is derived from reindeer herds
which graze on the mosses and grasses
of the far northern part of the terri-
tory which at one time were consid-
ered wor(He«s and unproductive.
"The Alaskan reindeer herds now
contain more than 200,000 of the
Oregon territo'-y at an earlier period,
though the later prophets of ill have

reindeer imported into Alaska by the
i federal government 2S years ago. In
i this period, besides, many thousands
'of the animals have been slaughtered
! for food. It is estimated that the
; portions of Ala-ska unsuiteil for other
(industries will maintain four to five
i million lu£fd of reindeer. In the
] Scandinavian countries their meat is
! highly prized. The reindeer meat
; from Alaska is beginning to appear
; regularly now in many of the meat
shops of the United States.

"The ^development of the lumber
industry, like that of all other en-
terprise in Alaska, is largely depend-
ent upon the extension of communi-
cations, especially by railf and the
federal government now has under
construction a railroad, which is de-
signed to open up the country for
both travel and industry. There are
457 miles of this road in operation.
Only S3 miles remain to be con-
structed to give this road ■ its total
trackake of .'40 miles.
"Alaska was not taken In (o the fid-
j era! domain without much criticism.
I None of it, however, reached the
j height of invective with which east-
ern statesmen had condemned the
emto'-y
he later
been as deeply confounded as the
others. The price paid seemed en-
tirely out of proportion to the benefits
to be derived; and even those who
were inclined*to favor the project ns
a me»h» of demonstrating good will
to Russia for her unswerving friend-
ship during the civil war found scanty
j argument in supporting the payment
of what then appeared so huge a sum.
"It is to Senards foresight and
persistence that the United States
owes this opulent outpost. The final
diplomatic adlon which consummated
the bargain was as precipitous, almost,
as that which gave to us later the
title to the Panama Canal Zone—for
the treaty was drafted, signed and
submitted to the ,Senate within but
little more than twelve hours, and
the preliminary negotiations, Including
Ithe time occupied by the then P.us-
isian Minister fioht Washington to St.
' Petersburg and return, was not as
! many months. By its terms we took'
'over an area equal to nearly one-
filth of the whole of the corttinental
United States of today; an area
which lay fallow for a full genera-
tion after it came into our hands and
whose progress in tho last twenty
years has been fro'm rugged priini-
tivencss to bustling modernism in
every locality where even slight en-
ergy has been expended. What the
i ext filly yearn of American rule In
Alaska may produce is limited only
by the Imagination which the progress
of the last Half century may call up."

Towering Giant
to Appear Today
at Gem Theatre
Attributing his 90 lineal inches of
anatomy to the oaUloor life he has al-
ways led, li. K. Aladsen, the Texas
oowboy giant who will be seen at the
Gem theatre today, was unable to tell
an inquisitive Telegram reporter last
night why that manner of living
seerued to have had the opposite ef-
fect upon his trusty steed, Tiny Mite,
whose altitude is a bare 21 notches on
a sliding scale. Tiny Mite is no parlor
bred plug and looks like all outdoors
herself.,
Madsen roars up to $ magnificent
vista with his bender sombrero and
would be kept terribly busy in u low
bridge country. He says it is no
trouble for him to negotiate the ordi-
nary hotel bed without having to wire
ahead for extensions and as for sleep-
ing; oar berths, no watch spring can
coil prettier than he.
Explaining his long-evity the "jint"
doesn't attempt it. He gives the
measurements of his sire at 6 feet 2
and his mother towered 5 feet 6 in her
stocking feet. Both are living on a
ranch near Kastland. He has a bud
who rears up ti teet into the circum-
ambient without half trying. As for
Madsen himself he says he was 6 feet
tall at the age of 12 years and during
the eleven years sinnce then he has
gained eighteen inches, or nearly one
and a half inches per annum. Asked
when he thought he would quit hav-
ing growing pains he said probably
when >e quit growing older. Figure
it youfself.
T his Foreign Born
Citizen Worthy of
General Imitation
There is one foreign born citiiten
of Temple at least who is satisfied
with this country and has no present
intentions of leaving it to return to
the land of his nativity.
This is Willie Constancia, a citizen
of Mexican birth and American in-
stincts who by ciosc attention to busi-
r.tss and adherence to the policy ot
taking advantage of opportunities "has
made a conspicuous success iu a fi-
nancial way. Constancia is proprietor
of the restaurant and chile parlor on
Pouth First street adjoining the Ful-
ton market.
From a small beginning he has
built up a substantial and valuable
business enterprise, owns the building
in which he is located and is other-
wise an extensive property holder and
taxpayer.
So well satisfied is he with condi-
tions that he . has embarked upon a
most ambitious venture; he is con-
structing a home for permanent res-
idence and thereby setting an example
worthy of emulation,
A modern six room cottage of hol-
low tile and brick construction is now
being built for him on the corner of
J?ixth street and Avenue B, next door
to his present habitat. The walls arc,
up a considerably distance with a
largo part of the framing going up
When completed it will be an orna-
ment w«rth while to any part of the
dtf.
While the cart represents a nlc.\
Juicy sum, Constancia does not be.
urudge the expense. He has a family
of children growing up and wants his
wife and family to hare all the bene-
fit's and advantages that his monev
will bestow.

Diamond Mine in
Arkansas Only One
in the United States
f Assort. t»fl rrPiffl ntspntCTI.)
Murphreesboro, Ark., April 10.—The,
only diamond mine thus far discovered
on the Western Hemisphere is located
in Pike county, Ark., in which this
hamlet is situated. The mine Is two
and" a half miles south of here.
The diamonds ate found in a "pipe,"
the crater of an extinct volcano which
ages ago boiled up through the sur-
face, had its terrific heat chilled by
the waters of an inland sen, nnd left
bits of carbon scattered throughrwt
"he peridotite which now fills tho
crater, to be pressed into diamonds
by the contraction of the rock. The
peridotite forms the original matrix
of the diamond, and thus far the only
diamonds found in the Western Hem-
isphere in their matrices nre tho»e
of Pike county. Diamonds have been
found in some twenty-five states, in
Canada and South America, but al-
ways In river beds, where, geologists
surmise, they have been washed by
the waters, or in places where it is
presumed they have been deposited
by glacial action.
The first Arkansas diamond was
found in 1906 by John Huddleston,
then owner of the farm on which the
sixty-acre "pipe" is located by acci-
dent. Huddleston observed outcrop-
pings of the gray-green rock, since
classed as peridotite and came to the
conclusion that his hillsides contained
valuable mineral, perhaps copper.
After pecking around without finding
anything which looked to him like
mineral, he picked up a crystal, and
then one day showed it to some friends
in Murphreesboro. A Little Rock
jeweler pronounced It a diamond and
made sure by verifications by jewel
experts in New York.
The mining operations in Arkansas
for several years at least, will bo far
different from those of the South Af-
rican fields, although the formations
are the same. In Africa deep shafts
are sunk, the peridotite is brought
to the surface and spread on drying
floors for periods ranging from six
to eighteen months. The rock has
the peculiar quality of disintegrating
when exposed to the air. In Arkan-
sas, however, except for a few places,
the peridotite already has disintegrat-
ed to a depth of about twenty feet,
and mixed with vegetable matter
formed a sticky clay, called "gumbo"
locally. This over-bOTflen nf «fnmho" Iowa baa one-room .

Tommy tippetoe was a little
brownmousethdtlived behind the
v/all of the kitchen cupboard in Mary
Jane's house. Mary Jane's mother
scolded Tommy Tippetoe often, es-
pecially when he would eat a big piece
out of the cake, or nibble the cheese.
But he always kept coming around.
One day Mary Jane's mother said to
TommieTippetoe; "Now, listen to me.
You and I are going to be very bad
friends if you don't turn over a new
leaf, and quit bothering folks. Why
can't you behave yourself?"
Tommy got pretty red in the face,
and he curled his tail up. But finally
he said, "IU tell you what 111 do. You
give me a can of that delicious Mary
Jane Syrup, all for myself, and IU take
it away out in the woods, and won't
ever bother you again."
And Mary Jane's Mother did, and
he went away. So everybody is happy
now. And they have Mary Jane Syrup
with their waffles, pancakes and com
bread and bread and butter every day*
And sometimes Mary Jane and the
girls have the greatest fun making
