He begins with a historical account of the barriers that man has set from time to time between his own habitat and that lying to the north, and shows. that, as time and privileges for this valuable animal. Another animal which prospers in the colder climates is the musk ox, which is valuable for meat, hide and wool. "As for climate, many people will ! competitive examination for assist- ant observer, Weather Bureau, for unmarried men, on August 20, Sep- tember 17, and October 22, 1919, to fill vacancies in offices of the Weather Bureau throughout the United States, experience weaken prejudice, the | be surprised to learn that much of | and in positions requiring similar trend of progress is toward the lesser | Alaska lies in the north temperate | qualifications, at $1080 a year, or latitudes. zones and reaches a temperature of |higher or lower salaries, will be filled Pays Tribute to Stefansson 90 degrees in the summer time.

The task of opening up these neglected oppor- tunities falls to the Americans by right of fitness amd physical equip- ment. "To be an American," he says, "has meant to be one of a race of men Yormed by frentier life, men whose most characteristic impulse has been 'ever to extend the edges of civiliza- tion, men made to bé pioneers in the empty places.- # > Used Wrong Standards ~ "One of the great difficulties in the development of the north has been the fact that men have been too ready to value or condemn northern lands on the basis of the standards of the temperate zones. It is easily ap- parent that identical crops and stoek on the arctic prairie roses and other beautiful flowers o fall sorts abound." Evanston City of Homes After stating the population of Alaska and its educational opportuni- ties, Balmer goes on to say: "I am writing this in a suburb of Chicago called Evanston, known as the city of homes. We have a population of about 35,000. with an enrollment of less than 5.000 in .the grade schools. The comparison, of course, favors the Illinois city, but it shows Alaska as the all-round-the-year land for more women and children than many may suspect." He closes his article by saying. "Our new frontier may be depended upon to be truly American--'Amer- ican' meaning the mixture of many peoples related only by common in- stincts and desires. The pioneers will come, not from a locality but from a generation, as the young men came to our west--such men as Theodore Roosevelt made his com- rades and who had their part in the making of that man."
